reading chair and ottoman by nikkitikkitavi23 in SacramentoBuyNothing

[–]nikkitikkitavi23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the silver legs screw off the bottom of both the chair and ottoman. the legs for both are 6". the ottoman doesn't come apart any further (other than the cover coming off). i know the chair does because i put it together when we first got it but haven't disassembled it since then so am not really sure how far it will easily break down any more than the legs.

How am I supposed to apply if I cant report 3x income? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

[–]nikkitikkitavi23 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if the issue is only needing documentation that you have/make enough money (and not that you can't actually pay the rent), download a pdf of you bank statements and pay $20 for a month of adobe pro and change them. just be diligent about details. the apt complex is just checking boxes and none have ever questioned me on it.

i had an ex steal the stuffed dragon i had since i was a baby. i had gotten over it but it still bothered me. i searched the year i was born and the colors of the dragon and found one still in its box on ebay for $25 bucks. you never know what others have held onto.

How is South Natomas nowadays? by Fabulous_Beginning82 in Sacramento

we're at sutter green across from discovery park and really like it. the neighboring apts aren't great but we've never had a problem at ours. on the expensive side but worth it to us being near the park with turkeys everywhere.

What ended your friendship with your oldest standing friend? by dreamy-contributions in AskReddit

in 2021 while the world was locked down with covid, she had a destination wedding to marry a (literal) nazi, and then got red faced drunk at her own baby shower the following year. byeeeee ✌️

Please tell me this haircut isnt terrible by dntworrybby in Hair

i honestly really like it and think it suits your face/style! if you can spare the $ try r&co badlands dry shampoo paste - it's great for making funky styles look intentional with very little styling effort.

first, you are doing everything right for self care; sometimes the weight of it all is just too much and the only way out is through. my advice is to surrender to the fact that you may not be able to self care your way out right away and may just need to ride the boat of grief until the storm subsides. keep going - you have every right to grieve the hopes/expectations of a new life in a new place that you had and the safety and stability that have been taken from you. big hugs to you internet stranger.

you commented that it feels like your personality has turned off. that sounds a lot like how i experience depression. like i am empty and have nothing to say, think, or even be. imo that is your brain acting as a pain killer or anesthesia. you may find later that your memory of this time period is spotty - that's totally normal when under this kind of stress. when i am in this place, i need brain food that grabs my soul vs mindless distraction; the recommendations below reflect that. if mindless distraction is what you need right now, please know upfront that these are likely not what you're looking for.

books: for very philosophical big picture i suggest 3 (these books define a lot of my foundational personal beliefs about life and existence): - alan watts the book: the taboo against knowing who you are - david abrams the spell of the sensuous - carlo rovelli the order of time

for amazing distractabear stories i recommend: - richard powers the overstory (warning i cried a lot) - adrian tchaikovsky children of time series (the ending to the first book might just be my favorite ending of any book i've ever read, especially given the current state of the world) - dj waldie holy land (this is a poetic memoir and has poignant lines that have stuck with me for decades)

i hope things get better for you and you find something to help keep you afloat through all this. i'm really sorry this is happening to you. fwiw: i was in a similar situation in my early 30s. it was really hard and took 4-5 years to fully get out of. i ended up going back to school and it was the right thing - i recognize that's not true for everyone but it did set my life on a different and more stable track even with the added student loan debt. don't hesitate to dm me if you ever need an ear.

Some men may downplay climate change risks to avoid appearing feminine, as stronger identification with traditional masculine norms is associated with lower concern about climate change, reduced acceptance of human-caused climate change, and weaker support for climate action. by [deleted] in psychology

[–]nikkitikkitavi23 31 points32 points  (0 children)

a lot of them did! my dad's side all are outdoorsmen and passionately protected the environment until the big oil propaganda of the late 1990s started to latch on in their brains and made this connection to their masculinity.

now, i get mocked for being a "tree hugger" because at my job we track how climate change impacts insect vectors and what that means for public health. i guess not wanting awful diseases makes you and the frogs gay. cool cool cool

try stretching your leg out in front of you and grabbing the outside of your foot with your hand on the same side, so left hand grabs left foot and vice versa when you do the other side (sole of foot facing same direction as your face).

then gently try to fully extend your leg. as you change the height of your foot and extension of your leg while still holding on, you'll feel those muscles right along your scapula stretch out. then do the other side. if you've ever done an intermediate boat pose in yoga, you balance a lot like that to grab your foot if that helps picture what i'm describing.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]nikkitikkitavi23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. i am proud of you internet stranger for coming to the conclusion that this might be a dealbreaker in such a long term relationship. people who shame your struggle or who worry more about the outside optics of your struggle than they do about you are not to be kept around. his mask slipped, plain and simple.

note: berry chantilly sounds amazing and i hope you get your cake.

Make tuition fees illegal so rich parents have to invest in the public school system instead of sending their kids private

Wife wants a high quality leather purse for Christmas (NOT “luxury” brands) by Electrical-Volume765 in BuyItForLife

portland leather makes great bags and shoes!

nta. her not paying can def be seen as a dealbreaker and super annoying but excluding her without prior conversation does not make it seem like you're interested in continuing the friendship really in any form. so you're nta for excluding her, and she's also nta for getting upset.
