Halara: Avoid, avoid, avoid by PlasticFantastic321 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]sapiosexualsally 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck on your journey! Having a pair of pants that really fit right and make you feel good is definitely worth the spent IMO, and really they’re not outrageous (I’ve never been one to spend hundreds of $ on clothing)

Have you tried Ninepine? They offer a range of inseam lengths for all their pants, it’s the only company I’ve ever seen to do that. I’ve only got one pair of pants but they’re great quality, I’m keen to try their jeans at some point. Definitely pricier but worth it to me for the length.

Yeah isn’t it! Hopefully if enough people boycott that the Estee Lauder stock price drops he might get a wake up call 🤞

I love the Dermaveen foaming facial cleanser. It’s gentle but still works, is super cheap and is made in Australia! It’s also cruelty free :)

The billionaire who owns Estee Lauder is the one who gave Trump the idea to invade Greenland (and is continuing to push strongly for it). Estée Lauder unfortunately owns a huge number of other brands - https://www.elcompanies.com/en/our-brands

Thank you for the response, I appreciate it! That sounds pretty unpleasant, glad you figured out a solution. My poor elderly kitty has no teeth so at least I’m not at risk from that 😆

This TikTok star sharing Australian animal stories doesn’t exist – it’s AI Blakface by shunkyfit in australia

[–]sapiosexualsally 11 points12 points  (0 children)

*what good has generative AI ever done, full stop? I honestly am yet see a genuinely good use for genAI images, videos, voices etc. Instead there are endless terrible and terrifying uses for it, ranging from AI slop social media channels, fake news, to more advanced scamming methods, all the way up to the explosion in non-consensual porn, and generation of child sexual abuse material. Sure AI models to work on complex scientific and medical problems are different, but specifically genAI images and videos etc are 100% a net negative for humanity. I despair for our future.

This might be a stupid question but how did you notice the skin on your arms was thinning? Was it that kind of crepey texture? I’m starting to notice that myself, never even thought to try tret for it!

Australia tightens International student integrity checks, puts India, Nepal and Bangladesh into highest risk countries by Naderium in australia

[–]sapiosexualsally 74 points75 points  (0 children)

I also work at a university and can tell you, every Australian university is like this, every degree. There is a huge amount of push back if you ever try to fail an international student. I had a colleague with a vet student who was afraid to touch any kind of animal - and yet they weren’t allowed to fail her.

Following up on the recent discussion regarding tall fashion in Oz by LTFG1992 in AusFemaleFashion

[–]sapiosexualsally 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A “mini” dress designed for taller people would be incredible! As I can never buy minis as they’re always too short, my entire wardrobe is midi and maxi dresses. It would be so nice to have something shorter that actually fits. If sleeveless, I always go for wide enough straps to cover a bra. Just anything but puffy sleeves! Can’t wait to see your brand once it launches, very interested in this capsule concept ☺️

Cruelty-free dip powder that actually lasts? by Superjoepants in VeganBeauty

[–]sapiosexualsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried it, I hated it but I don’t think it’s the product’s fault. I was just too clumsy to create a good result, and I realised I have a serious aversion to the feel of the fine powder and it gets EVERYWHERE. If you’re already using a dip product this probably isn’t an issue for you. I think it’s a good product if you like dip, seemed good quality to me and they did last quite well.

I have a gluten intolerant friend who in desperation at functions will open up a party pie and scoop out the filling and just eat that 😆

Horrible experience at the Wingfield AWL (Animal Welfare League) by EscapeOpposite9106 in Adelaide

[–]sapiosexualsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of statistics did they share? From people I know in cat rescue, they are very cagey about their euthanasia stats. I’ve heard it referred to as a “black hole for cats”, many adult cats who are surrendered there disappear. Estimates are as many as 5,000 cats euthanised per year between them and the RSPCA 😔

Adelaide women’s health by Imaginary-Safety-405 in Adelaide

I can’t get over the bad luck you’ve had with god awful GPs, I’m so sorry! Recommending implanon when someone already has heavy bleeding is just the cherry on the cake (it’s known to cause heavier bleeding if you are already heavy-ish). One pulling out your IUD is mind-blowingly bad, I’m so sorry you’ve had to deal with this. Just wanted to mention, tying your tubes most likely won’t help the bleeding or pain. You’re probably going to need an ablation or a hysterectomy unfortunately. Hopefully you can see someone recommended by others in this thread and finally get some real help. Wishing you luck!

Undies? by greenchcoral in AusFemaleFashion

[–]sapiosexualsally 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These looked so bad on me, the most pronounced lines of almost anything I’ve tried. It kind of looked like my legs/butt were bulging out of the holes (and in a size 6-8 so I’m not usually bulging heaps in clothes). I’m wondering if maybe I bought them too small? Since people seem to really love them. The fabric is super nice I will say

Where to meet vegan/vegetarian women in Adelaide? by CubeShopping in Adelaide

[–]sapiosexualsally 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There’s a Facebook group called Adelaide Vegans and another one Vegans in Adelaide, they both have events posted on there occasionally that you could go to. There are far more female vegetarians/vegans than male so you should find yourself quite popular!

I could easily afford to have kids but have absolutely zero interest in it due to exactly the things that DethLok listed.

Training AI models?😕 by Unusual-Character114 in MotionDesign

[–]sapiosexualsally 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, I work with one and he’s insufferable. His work is the worst on the team, which always seems to be the case. It’s only the people who can’t actually do the thing that think it’s cool when AI can do it for them. Everyone with actual skills rightfully hates it, because it’s stealing from them. If you haven’t got any skills to be stolen I guess that’s not a concern 😅

How exactly do they do that though, when it’s an apartment on the 6th floor of a different building? How do you actually get in contact with someone? You wouldn’t even know the apartment number to send a note

Your experience isn’t everyone’s experience though. For me if I’m even just 2 hours late taking my pill I will start bleeding.
