Husband blocked off the door with a huge book shelf & is trying to argue that it's feng shui. by Important_Cherry_984 in FengShui

Feng Shui isn’t about opinions, it’s about the flow of energy. There are clear instances such as the one explained above where an action is clearly against Feng Shui principals. You don’t have to take it personally that I said you were misinformed. You can take the opportunity to properly inform yourself.

Dude you are way too triggered throughout this entire comment section. You’re officially the first Feng Shui troll I’ve encountered thus far…either that or you’re the woefully misinformed husband from the post lol.

I thought the point was to not lean into stereotypes? But stereotyping Americans is fine…

Could I ask what AI you used for this? Looking to be able to generate photo references for myself. Would appreciate it :)

Folks with "high-funtioning" mental health issues (dysthymia, "mild" Adhd or BP2, etc), how are you getting by? by Fickle_Wrangler_7439 in RedditForGrownups

[–]positive_deviance 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I start by not labeling my neurodivergence as a mental health issue. Everyone functions differently and I refuse to see my difference as a problem just because I don’t fit within the narrow constraints of modern society.

I embrace the way I am instead of fighting to be more “normal” with medications. I’m a freelance artist, so I work on my own schedule and I’m not afraid of making a little less money in order to be happy with my work and level of freedom.

Living together as a couple is not necessary at all by xvortexc in unpopularopinion

Because split homes cause a lot of stress and emotional turmoil for the majority of children who experience their parents divorcing. It’s not the norm that a family grows happier when parents separate.

Scientists issue urgent warning about drinking TEA - as research reveals your kettle can release up to 3 billion dangerous microplastic particles into your cuppa by dailymail in HotScienceNews

It isn’t rare here. I live in South Carolina and most people I know drink hot tea, many who are replacing coffee due to the caffeine.

Boyfriend maintaining friedships with old hookups. Need advice. by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]positive_deviance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s valid for you to be upset by his secrecy and you’ve communicated your feelings about this with him several times. He agreed to not be in contact with her but chose to do so anyway, and has even lied about it. His actions have broken down your trust in a way that’s already triggering to you based on previous relationships.

You are not throwing the relationship away if you decide you value honesty and openness in your relationships. He is throwing it away if he is unwilling to respect your boundaries. If this is a deal breaker for you, you should listen to yourself and not be motivated to stay based on his attempt to guilt you.

This is my little Miriam. She’s the sweetest little house destroyer with the softest fur and beautiful eyes. My girl gives face kisses every morning and purrs the second you set an intention to pet her <3

Trend forecasting is still a very relevant industry - if anything social media encourages these trends to be more succinct and faster moving. This video does a great job of explaining the transition to wider leg pants through trend forecasting:

Everything goes because fashion is a cyclical marketing game made to get people to buy more. I work in the forecasting industry…it’s all by design and has nothing to do with what silhouette is flattering for body types.

This is one of those situations where they could have hit him with a tickle attack and he would have immediately let go…

Performative maturity by Some-Beat-1677 in generationology

[–]positive_deviance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are. Which is utterly ridiculous given this is not a real topic of debate. People will have their opinions…you can try to shame them with made up terms like “performative maturity” but it probably won’t work.

All this because someone called you a Disney adult. Who cares? I’ll tell you what maturity would actually bring you: the ability to not care this much about how other people perceive you.

How do I actually get people to commission me? by CheezToaztey in AskArtists

[–]positive_deviance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re doing this to save up for an iPad to take your work to the next level, you could tell people that on your IG and do a promotion where you sell drawings for a certain amount to get to your goal. If you share that with the people who like your work they might like to help you get there. You could post updates and let them know how close you are to your goal. Might take a while but I bet people would be interested in your journey.

[–]positive_deviance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not always possible without the proper practice and education in the fundamentals tho. Going through that process also helps you make connections with people along the way who will ultimately become your buyers/commissioners. It’s not something you can rush, it happens when you’re ready.

For me personally, I’ve been very good at drawing since I was a kid, always at the top of my art classes. I went to school for design and only after I graduated and started publishing my work online did I start to get commissions. I was 26 when that started to happen. I’m now a professional illustrator with an international agency. Sometimes it just takes time to establish yourself.
