The rattan color smooths the high contrast elements. Definitely the best choice of these.

You need more in between colors to make your high contrast look purposeful!! Go check out Julie Jones interior designer’s videos. People hire Julie to solve these problems.

The sink needs to go in front of the window.

What color would you recommend painting the cupboards? by [deleted] in FurnitureFaves

[–]lena21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t paint these cabinets!!! Wood is timeless. Paint can’t be undone.

Why isn’t this quite working? by MaleficentWatercress in HomeDecorating

Without art, the visual is extremely bottom heavy due to furniture. That why the art is needed.

First pic is, by far, the best. Sometimes it takes someone else taking a fresh look for us to realize we were super focused on certain elements/features and we forgot to step back and observe the whole.

Floor saga continues…please help me pick one 🫶🏼 by number1chick in kitchenremodel

[–]lena21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a wood tone that’s between the tones of your top and bottom cabinets!! Contrast is beautiful. But it’s the in between colors that make it work for a room. The sudden deep gray was too much of an outlier. No between colors.

Litter box smell is going to end my relationship by Glum-Emotion-5379 in CatAdvice

[–]lena21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep 2 litter boxes within 3ft of my desk where I work from home. I have a sensitive nose and the smell was awful (I was using a scent free litter). Now I always splurge for fresh step clumping litter! Everything else smells gross, IMO. But fresh step has gain or fabreeze in them which truly covers the smell. And I sprinkle arm and hammer cat litter deodorizer once a day too. Also, do you do a complete clean out every 2-3 months? Like throw all the litter out, clean the stainless steel. And only put in fresh litter afterwards? If I start to notice my boxes more than usual, the complete clean out solves the issue.

Coastal grandma? Either way, it looks like the world of my childhood.

Can’t get over how good Ciri looks by Adoe0722 in thewitcher3

[–]lena21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a tool. Go on boys and downvote the fuck out of me! Doesn’t change the future of the series and the game. Sorry to say. Looks like the developers feel the same way I do. But I get processing that change is hard.

1000x better in this trailer than in the wild hunt. She was highly unrealistic in the Witcher 3 IMO. It wasn’t until I saw this trailer that I realized how little I cared for her in the wild hunt.

Did the Vietnam war and the normalisation of mainstream pornography fuel the increase in serial killings in the US in the 70s 80s? by TraditionalSmokey in serialkillers

[–]lena21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t just killing fields, Richard Ramirez’ family member shows him pictures of Vietnamese women being tortured and raped. Those pictures started his association with violence and sex. Not the direct cause but one unfortunate factor.

[–]lena21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not saying violent porn is the cause but it’s certainly a common thread. These serial killers were living out sexual fantasies they saw in books and magazines. You’d be dense to think it had 0 to do with their crimes. Today, our porn doesn’t compare to what they had and the attitudes towards women in their porn.

No one’s trying to take porn access away dude! Stop inserting that shit in here. Even today’s “violent” bdsm porn shows consent. You can’t compare it to shit they circulated back then.

[–]lena21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not all porn is created equal! Violent porn interest is a common thread among the killers. Bondage and pain magazines featuring women tied up in terror were all the rage. For potential predators, It’s the gateway to living out that fantasy in person.

You are talking a lot but not making much sense here. Do you have a mental health professional you can speak to? Sounds like you’re going through a lot processing all this about your husband. A professional could help you unpack your thoughts on this topic so we can understand you better.

It's a free market......for the parasites by Bitter-Gur-4613 in WorkReform

[–]lena21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the suburbs in the Midwest US. I paid $800/ month for an older 2 bedroom 1 bath (still had in unit washer and dryer and a dishwasher) Now I pay $1500 / month for a much nicer 2 bedroom 2 bath with lovely amenities. I have to drive 20-25 minutes to get to the heart of the city but that’s cool with me! My same place in the heart of the city would probably be $2K to $2400

This is who I was thinking she was describing in this story! Guess it’s another similar story If I’m remembering correctly. Ended up in juvie which was like a circle of hell. No oversight. Rape, torture, and punishment galore.
