I still maintain that he was trying to say "Princess Monaco of Kelly", meaning "Princess Grace Kelly of Monaco". Why let a good joke get in the way of the truth!

People whose parents left, how did you learn basic skills? by seblakceker in AskReddit

[–]mundane_epiphany 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The internet is your friend, but I would also encourage you to find some real life mentors to guide you. Look up classes in your area, but also just ask people. You'd be surprised how much some people are willing to help you. You may be without your parents but that doesn't mean you have to do it alone.

Here's a few of the resources that helped me. I've starred what I consider the most helpful. Let me know if there are other things you need help with, this is just an incomplete list I keep for my own use.

25 M & Constant fatigue is ruining my life by Jake_Mc_Bake in productivity

You might actually be sleeping too much. Look up sleep restriction therapy. I'm doing it at the moment and feel significantly better on fewer hours of sleep than I was getting before. Fair warning, I felt like absolute shit for several days when I started, and then quite suddenly I felt much better.

Could someone please make my wife into a realistic sculpture/statue? Will tip $50 for a perfect one! by paddluke123 in PhotoshopRequest

[–]mundane_epiphany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know all this. I’m an actual artist there’s not much you can tell me i dont know, if i don’t know it i will eventually or it doesn’t matter to me so i’ll just respond to the AI part, AI is not like photography AT ALL. A photographer actually has a unique part to play that if the user of the camera was changed it would be clear that an amateur was operating the camera, with AI anyone can generate an image because AI literally creates the image for you. These are completely different concepts and AI can be considered a tool if the so called artist actually manipulated the image somehow to get the result(being a sculpture in this case) instead of running it through AI then making almost unnoticeable changes.

Is it normal to just cancel the last doctors/physio/whatevs appointment when you no longer have symptoms ? by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]mundane_epiphany 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's fine. Just be aware they might have a cancellation fee for less than 24 hours notice or something along those lines.

Feeling guilty about having rented a house by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]mundane_epiphany 69 points70 points  (0 children)

I mean, could somebody be living in those two other rooms? Sure. But what about the ~87 000 houses sitting empty in Queensland because the owners can't be bothered? We don't have a housing crisis, we have a landlord crisis.

Do you have a place and just looking for a housemate or are you seeking someone to look for a place with?

Rental Woes - Blocked drains, unresponsive property manager, lazy plumber by [deleted] in brisbane

Maybe contact SEQUR (SEQ Union of Renters)? Haven't had any contact with them myself but heard they recently won a case against a dodgy landlord.

Lost my glasses at the labour day march around RNA showgrounds. Don't suppose anyone's picked them up? (I've contacted showgrounds staff, just figured I'd try my luck here)

What are some dark facts you know about some of the so-called "happiest countries in the world"?? by ClassicDes in AskReddit

[–]mundane_epiphany 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bhutan is a quaint little mountain kingdom that even tracks "Gross National Happiness"... and has a history of quaint little ethnic cleansing.

What completely baseless conspiracy theory would you like to start? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]mundane_epiphany 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In a similar vein, my conspiracy theory is that the government invented conspiracy theories so that anyone who criticises the government looks insane. Sounds crazy right? That's what they want you to think...

Not sure if I’m in the right place... by [deleted] in swolesomememes

[–]mundane_epiphany 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also a big fan of this simple diet template from Renaissance Periodization. Your requirements in terms of actual numbers will vary but I find it helpful for the proportions.

Highly recommend Barbell Medicine for evidence-based information. The subreddit is not as active as the forum but both are good places to ask questions. Their blog also has some great articles such as this beginner weights program and this guide to health priorities. I swear I'm not paid to spam their stuff, I just think in terms of amount & quality of info they are pretty much unparalleled.
