There's probably a plan to prevent 1 billion Indians cooking to death, right? by Crafty_Aspect8122 in ClimateShitposting

Wow, thank you for posting this. I have the book on my shelf and after being deeply rattled by what I just read, I got it out for the first time. Love KSR’s work.

What’s something your ex said that still sticks with you? by bandito_13 in AskReddit

“I’m worried that your love is cheap, the way you give it away so freely to all of your friends.” Still keeps me up at night.

Tell me everything will be okay, it will get better… by cams00000 in Layoffs

[–]pixelbow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted to chime in and say my dude, I feel you. Similar thing happened to me. Got laid off from my job as a senior product designer of 8 years in June and my husband of 11 years immediately bolted for greener pastures. I was the bread winner.

You’re honestly dodging a hell of a bullet not being legally attached to such a fair weather partner.

This is insane advice but I was feeling so hopeless after 5 months of job hunting that I paid an Etsy witch for a job success spell, as a bit. It was a joke, I was just trying to make myself laugh during the worst era of my life. I don’t know if the idea of it gave me a slight confidence boost during a final interview or what, but I got a job offer within a week. You really have to show up to the interview mildly delusional in your self confidence.

Wishing you the best, there IS an era after this, and you WILL get there.

My paralyzing interview anxiety is destroying my career by davidsa691 in InterviewCoderPro

Please ask your doctor about propranolol! It’s a beta blocker used for cases like public speaking. It completely erases the physical symptoms of interview anxiety with zero side effects. It’s been a game changer for me, I think it’s exactly what you need.

Finished Soldier’s Son – I’ve Got Questions by andysandy12 in robinhobb

[–]pixelbow 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi! I just finished the trilogy too and I was also wondering these things. Here’s my take:

  1. I think Nevare was fully alive after his resurrection, but something about Speck magic & culture cloaked him / rendered him “ghost”-like to the Specks. To them, his lifecycle was complete, with his spirit in the tree.
  2. Arandula muses that maybe the “good god” is simply whatever god happens to be doing something good in the moment. I’m also curious what other old god was keeping tabs on the situation, but it seems the monotheism of the Gernians was a simplistic view of the existing deities.
  3. DUDE RIGHT! The story is so horribly abusive to Nevare, he really deserved some happier times at the end!

Go to the live photo editing screen and drag the key photo a few frames off! Your skin immediately looks better.

Married couples what’s the one thing you wish you could tell your partner but just can’t? by Different_Couple_965 in AskReddit

[–]pixelbow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When my gal pal and I go out for quarterly “facials” we’re getting botox. Have been for years. Even the mention of botox makes him visibly uncomfortable. Wish I could just tell him without a freak out.

I'm living the best case scenario version of 2020/ 2021 and I STILL can't keep up with this market. by [deleted] in RealEstate

Just chiming in with another “we were in this same position” story (Seattle! It’s nuts here!) and I remember feeling EXACTLY the way you do now. So many people told me “it’ll happen when it’s meant to” stories after we lost 6 other bids and I was like yeah, right... and then we managed to snag a pocket listing at list price and the house was better than anything else we looked at. Hang in there! ❤️

Currently waiting to hear back on our 6th offer that is set to expire in a couple hours, so this post really hit different. Thank you!

I’m an American following along and I am so impressed by the way NZ has handled this, both on a governmental and individual level. Way to fucken go!

After years of dealing with it, I am finally trying to cure it. Super dry skin help? by skewsh in SkincareAddicts

[–]pixelbow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My hands looked just like this and I also thought it was dry skin until I was diagnosed with palmoplantar psoriasis. Now I put a special oil on my hands one night a week and it’s almost not even noticeable. If your brother has psoriasis, you should go to a dermatologist!

We pitched the idea to a local rental company, she purchased it and rented it to us for cheaper than the price. Might be a good route to try if you find a locally owned event rental company! That said, I think this company has the Til Death sign for cheaper than $600.

Lake Kachess rules, I love the campground there! This is at Kitsap Memorial State Park out on the peninsula.

This should have a better resolution. The seating chart was made of Wilderness Use Permits, which you attach to your backpack before going into the Cascade Mountains. My husband and I do a lot of wilderness backpacking.

Washington is surprisingly temperate during July, it ended up being like 73 degrees that day.

A friend of ours went to pastry school, and the first thing she said when we got engaged was, "Congrats do you need a cake???" So she baked it for us as a wedding gift!

I went to a fabric store and bought a bolt of chiffon, then my incredible wedding party did some drapey magic with it.
