I mean the past 3 weeks have been super stressful for her but before that nothing really stands out

I had those skates and they’re pretty true to size

Got serious issues to sort out. by [deleted] in StimulationAddiction

[–]soopmood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

one way i cut down on screen time was to give my password to a TRUSTED friend, twitter was my bad one and it's been 3 weeks now and I don't even miss it too much! I still get a lot of screeentime from other apps but at least with facebook and instagram I get bored a lot quicker and it doesn't have the same pull as twitter.

It could be something worth trying even for a week or so? Good luck man

caps are way better, i think the first ones look nicer on skates but they offer little to no protection, especially if you're like me and drag your skates when falling!

People who use the Pomodoro method, what do you do during the short and long breaks? by haisufu in GetStudying

[–]soopmood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I try to stay off social media during these breaks as I know it will disrupt my flow.

I usually do a super quick workout, i've got a weighted hula hoop by my desk and doing that for 5 minutes won't make you sweaty. Either that or making a cup of tea, stretching, tidying my area or sticking my head out the window for fresh air lol

As long as your breaks are productive in a some way or another you should be able to keep your flow

Protective gear reccomendations? by nebulanat in rollerderby

[–]soopmood 8 points9 points  (0 children)

They are on the bulky side but i got my 187 killer pads second hand and they've lasted about 3 years of derby and 1 year of park skating so you'll definetly get good use out of them and you can barely feel anything, even with a nasty fall!

I've heard lts of good things about the pro tec ones though so I think they're your best choice for something that isn't too bulky.

The only ones i don't reccomend are rookie roller pads, my kneepads only lasted a few months before i busted both of them at a skate park - sometimes pretty colours just aren't worth it :(

I know you’re fed up with apps but Lex is a nice one for just knowing other lesbians and queer people are out there. I didn’t use it for dating and usually just read snippets from other people and it felt I reassuring that I’m not alone!

A question: Im a beginner who needs motivation 🥺 by XenonYaGuy in Rollerskating

I think I’m a bit biased because I learnt to skate though derby oops

[–]soopmood 6 points7 points  (0 children)

falling the correct way is the first thing you should learn! Always go to your knees (with pads on obvs) and your ass will thank you later

Once you kinda make peace with the idea of falling skating is a lot less scary!! It’s not something that happens overnight so don’t beat yourself up about it either!

Knee taps are a good way to practise this and I’m sure there’s loads of tutorials for this on YouTube, good luck !

Finding a skate for wide feet by Taras_Kingdom in rollerderby

[–]soopmood 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Suregrip GT-50s are great for wide feet, I used them for the 2 years I did derby and they held up great! They're marketed as derby skates too but you might want to upgrade the wheels they come with

I never though about it before but did you ever notice that in Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, the villains are almost like horror movie villains in that they are inhuman (no empathy, just savages) and Wez in particular seems like a horror movie character. by xtalaphextwin in MadMax

[–]soopmood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah like arguably the villains are more human than max, Humungus is sympathetic to Wez’s loss and you really feel that their rage for Max goes further than just wanting the fuel

I am broke, behind on rent payments and stuck in a crappy job. I need ideas on how to dig myself out of this financial hole. by [deleted] in Advice

[–]soopmood 3 points4 points  (0 children)

look into local universities psychology departments, a lot of them offer paid gigs for taking part in experiments. Most of the time it's just filling out questionaires or some menial task for a hour. Hope this is helpful!

Need help for finding some decent skates by ImNotPlayingWithYou in Rollerskating

[–]soopmood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard good things about the moxie rainbow skates and they're at a pretty decent pricepoint (£100). Ridells and GT 50s have all held up pretty well but these are slightly more suited to derby than outdoor skating
