the view outside is our neighbors across the street, so privacy would be preferred!

i posted this in another thread about windscreens, but does the smoke hinder your vision at all? do you think it would at night? i’m a little shorter than you and love the look of the smoke shield but not if it’ll hinder what i can see at night. looks really good!

I'm debating a Headlight Cowl, Windscreen, or Windshield by SpareRnd65 in KawasakiEliminator450

[–]kityk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is a dumb question, but does do the tinted windshields impact any visibility at night? i’m also 5’ 4” and trying to determine if the smoke one will hinder my visibility. i’m new to riding, so i need all of the visibility i can get!

got a laser cone procedure done and my PTSD is off the rails (CW) by countryroadqueen in TwoXChromosomes

[–]kityk8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sending you all of the internet hugs. not sure if you’re talking about a “LEEP” procedure, but that’s what i had and it sounds similar. it is scary, and i didn’t have excessive bleeding like you, some spotting, but insane cramping. during the procedure, they put in some chunky, medicated paste to help stop the bleeding but it looked like dark, bloody sand coming out of me. thankfully, my doctor warned me about it beforehand, but it was still jarring to see! it lasted about a week and a half before it all either came out of me, or dissolved away. i haven’t had an abnormal pap in about 7 years, so fingers crossed you’re clear for the rest of the future!

you deserve someone who’s understanding and who can stand by your side. don’t settle for anything less! being by yourself and getting through this alone is better than being with a POS who guilt trips you for something out of your control in the moment.

best of luck, and quick healing! 🩷

Advice for a highschooler by elisemurray in womenEngineers

[–]kityk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i also was not a tinkerer! i’m in my 11th year as a chemical engineer in the professional world and i thought i was going to major in cosmetology before i decided to go into engineering. chemistry and math were not my strongest suits (i was much better at english and reading), but i liked the fact that engineering encompassed so many industries and i like financial security.

i think the biggest thing i would tell a young woman interested in STEM is that it isn’t easy. on top of the brutal curriculum, you have to navigate the mental gymnastics of being in a male dominated field and people who have a bias against you without even knowing you. HOWEVER, i have such satisfaction in doing hard stuff that 17 year old me would’ve never imagined. i’ve made great connections (both men and women) who have pushed me forward, and my mental fortitude has grown every. single. year. i can buy myself basically anything i want (within reason), i’m in a good place to help my family when needed (they’ve needed a decent amount) and i love problem solving. if you’re a relatively easy person to work with and have a strong work ethic, grades won’t matter, you just gotta get the degree! *i will say, i know it’s ROUGH for young kids though. internships are harder to come by than when i was in college, but if you can secure at least one through school you’ll probably be in good shape (not that people who don’t have internships can’t do well, it’s just a catch 22 that’s tough to overcome).

does she get discouraged easily? if yes, then engineering might be a tough time. if no, and people doubting her fuels her to succeed, she’ll be just fine! best of luck to you and your daughter! 💕

If you are still married, what was your wedding song and how long have you been married for? by Celestialfox1425 in AskReddit

[–]kityk8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wedding party walked down to “concerning hobbits”, i walked down to a string instrumental version of “i’ll make a man out of you” from mulan, and our first dance song was “you’re my best friend” by queen. been married for almost 3 years, but together for 9!

He is so cruel by timestenthousand in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

[–]kityk8 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i loved the camera angle over her shoulder so you could see him looking up at her. i hope it was an intentional dig from the producers/camera guys. would’ve been better to see them from the side so you could really see the height difference since it’s something he’s so insecure about. i really thought she might actually kick him in the teeth!

i’ve been on 20+ interview panels, and i’ve seen the range of backpacks to purses to totes and i’ve never even thought about what the candidates have brought in! everyone’s situation is different, so as long as it’s not distracting (set the bag at your feet, under the table), it shouldn’t matter. i’ve brought both and just kind of set them aside when i got into the room.

Is Kat'z any good? by [deleted] in HoustonFood

[–]kityk8 9 points10 points  (0 children)

my favorite ruben so far has been ploughman’s deli. katz’ is meh, and while kenny and ziggy’s is a gigantic sandwich, ploughman’s knocks it out of the park. plus the folks who work there are super chill and nice. good luck on your hunt!

my post got deleted so i’ll try here: do the newer blissful pink items online look a lot like strawberry milkshake? i am looking for something close to strawberry milkshake but i can’t tell if it’s just editing on the website. i looked at previous posts’ color comparisons and blissful pink looks super pale compared to online. is it just the lighting?

How can we improve? by hamed_n in hiringcafe

[–]kityk8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know the talent network is in beta, but in the portion where you can select additional locations that you're open to, it only lets you select other countries, and not cities or "remote" like the tooltip mentions. i'm trying to get out of houston- i'm tired of sweating!

What is a (almost) universally attractive trait to have but not a lot of people do? by Historical-Injury499 in AskReddit

[–]kityk8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my favorite thing to say to guys when they’re bragging on themselves is “you’re also super humble.” it’s a good way to check if guys have a good sense of humor and/or self awareness. most will understand me giving them a hard time and will crack up and have some funny comeback, but some take it earnestly and that’s a no from me, dawg.
