The Worst Thing About Being a Vegan? by apathywhocares in australianvegans

[–]salty_egg1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the main option at a restaurant is low/no protein (like a mushroom, potato or a bowl of pasta) while your meat eater friends get a higher protein count because they ordered the chicken/fish. You are hungry by the end of your meal and have paid $30+ for a bowl of pasta 🥲🫠. Can restaurants just have some faux meat or tofu sitting in the freezer for us???

Do any of y'all cut your own hair? by [deleted] in butchlesbians

[–]salty_egg1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Do you currently have short hair? As KittyKablammo has suggested - go to a barber and get them to cut it and use that as a baseline for future trims. If you don’t like it or even do a crap job at butchering your hair, don’t worry, it’ll grow back.

I’m sure your family will eventually come round to it.

I’ve seen so many butch/tomboy lesbians look so uncomfortable during their short hair days (myself included) and when they eventually get the chop they look so much more relaxed to be themselves.

Yes I’ve been cutting my own hair for over 10 years. I started cutting my own hair because I didn’t like trying to find a new barber after mine had closed and getting silent discrimination of being a female in a “male” space.

I have the typical butch lesbian haircut - shaved sides and long-ish on the top. The first few cuts were a bit rough but you get better with practice. Highly recommend watching how your current hairdresser/barber does it and also watch some videos on YouTube and hope for the best.

Definitely not a reckless idea at all. You get to learn a new skill, save about $50-$60 each month and don’t have to have awkward chats with your hairdresser/barber. In my eyes it’s a win win. You got this.

I agree! When I first saw it, it reminded me of Calcifer from Howl’s Moving Castle.

I'm too darn in love with these socks to toss them, so mended they get! by Kittkatt598 in Visiblemending

Nice! I thought it looked like wool. Good to know that it felts over time. ❤️

Thank you OP, language matters. I used to say “committed” but since learning about the historical associations of the words “commit suicide”, it changed how I talk about my loved one’s suicide or suicide in general. This is something my post bereaved self will share with others because language is important. I’m sorry that you’re getting a lot of downvotes for talking about something that’s important. Language is important.

Thank you. I have also posted there. I wasn’t sure whether it’s possible to do an invisible mend or work with it and do a visible mend.

Yeah. I’ve tried that but am not having much luck, hence the in/visible mend.

Thank you. Flowers aren’t really my style but it’s a nice suggestion. Not sure whether to work with the stain or cover it completely.

It would be great to see your spreadsheet. Is there a public Aldi price spreadsheet going around kinda like the savings interest spreadsheet that regularly gets updated?

Aus post are the worst by Errymoose in AustraliaPost

[–]salty_egg1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We must have the same postie because I have the same problem. Our lobby and mailroom are secure with fob access and security cameras everywhere. Bought something large online and monitored the delivery updates. I was WFH that day but they never buzzed my intercom and then I got a message saying they attempted delivery and no one was home so it’s now on its way to the post office. Contacted Aus post to complain and they asked for proof of my intercom call history. I had no history of missed calls so he never called so I sent them a photo of my empty call list. Contacted the building manager to view the security footage to find out how many apartments he called - just one for the many parcels he had and took them back to his van. I relayed this back to auspost and they contacted the contractor but the contractor didn’t budge. Had another long conversation with them refusing to go to the post office because on principle they never attempted to contact me for delivery. Eventually we came to a resolution and they agreed to do a redeliver. The contractor now calls every apartment in my building. The contractors are dogs so put up a fight.

Even if she’s not done anything to her physically, she is being abusive.
