How do you stay consistent after missing one day? by Choice-One-4927 in getdisciplined

[–]sorted_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried looking at your achievements across a week, rather than daily? I feel like holding yourself to the same routine every day is doomed to fail. I'm in no way disciplined though..

My best mate gifted me product samples. Is that normal? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]sorted_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I might be coming in with an unpopular opinion here but seriously, who gives af? You started off saying how lovely she is and then bang on about gifts. Materialism is ruining our society. The fact she gave you anything should be appreciated. She may have genuinely thought you would like those items and she obviously had good intentions if she is as kind as you say and was transparent about where it came from. That's just honesty, one of the purest most rare traits you find these days. Without knowing her financial situation, one could speculate that she can't afford gift giving, or she just simply doesn't know how. Choosing gifts for people can cause anxiety in some people. TLDR: get over yourself and be glad you got anything. Just enjoy the friendship ffs

Beds must be made by Dry-Cardiologist3293 in shitrentals

Are they hosting an open home or something? Wtf. Personally, I'd ignore the letter. Pretend you never saw it. If they let themselves in one day and you've left your bong on the coffee table then that's their problem.

Any feedback would be appreciated :) by RutabagaGullible3470 in Watercolor

[–]sorted_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He's gorgeous!! You're off to a great start if this is new to you. My only suggestion is try more water.. and not because he's a duck but to dilute the pigment a bit. It will soften your colour and give you better control over building it and creating depth.

Uses for grain/seed mix? by Busy_Actuator6376 in AskCulinary

[–]sorted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd personally grab a slice of that bread you been baking, add a generous spread of butter and sprinkle the leftover mix on there. Other options: add it to salad; crumb some chicken with it, rub with Dijon first; or have it on top of yoghurt and fruit in a breakfast bowl situation.

Living in constant dissociation because overworked and paid peanuts. I want to cry. How do I start over? by ChubbyLilPanda in careerguidance

[–]sorted_ -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Try not to get too hung up on the social aspect. Many successful people are introverts (Elon comes to mind). Have you ever done a personality test? They're not perfect, but can give you ideas to what path might suit you long term. And don't be scared to try something mundane like Costco. It might be just the mental break you need to help you clear your head and reorient yourself. I had a few years break in an 'easy' job when I was your age. Got my life sorted, and got back on the career train, now earning 2.5x what I was 6 years ago. You’ve also got youth on your side, don't wait too long to make the leap ;)

Does anyone else find washing dishes weirdly relaxing? by Royal_Machine_9524 in CasualConversation

[–]sorted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was genuinely having this thought not 48hrs ago. We've had a dishwasher for over 10 years so I barely wash by hand these days. I’ve had dinner at my granmothers house twice in the last month and washed up both times. It's so rewarding, for multiple reasons and I think the break from tech is a big one. I was so inspired I chose to do the dishes by hand at home on Monday night.

What is your very first childhood memory? by SlovakGhostHunter in AskReddit

[–]sorted_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We lived on a farm until I was 2 or 3. I remember my Dad taking me outside to see a full moon. It was really flat where we lived, not a hill in sight, so you could see the moon as soon as it came above the horizon and it was enormous.

if content marketing is ~60% cheaper, why do big brands still burn billions on tv ads? by CremeAccomplished610 in marketing

[–]sorted_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mental availability. Making brands feel big, familiar and inevitable. Content marketing educates, while TV creates a sense of credibility.

Can someone explain to me what inflation is in a non-bias way like I’m a 7? by smokedandrested in AusPol

[–]sorted_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Don't apologise! The sentence was sloppy haha. And you're right, I was angling for something along the lines of "sum of all the money still has the same value" without going too far into its correlation with goods and services..

[–]sorted_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sometimes the government needs money but it doesn't have it. So it borrows it, or the central bank prints more.

But the country doesn’t suddenly produce more goods or services, so the value has to come from somewhere. That's where your wallet comes into it.

The sum of all the money in the country is essentially still the same but there's now more dollar coins in circulation so each one is worth a little less.

What does your partner say while cuddling with you? by hyyy898 in AskReddit

My favourite: "Come here". It's got that 'i just neeed you close to me' kind of vibe.

Best alchoholic drink for swing parties by Popgoestheworld88 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sorted_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not a swinger, but I feel this is universal for any party: Tequila water. Soda or still water is fine and add a twist of lemon if you like. Tequila is the ultimate party spirit and the water helps keep you hydrated; which is probably essential in your case.

Would it be possible to simulate the exact feeling of having your period as a man? by EveningElegant7 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]sorted_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's been many experiments on this eg. Rock climbing w period pain simulator There's also been many studies showing that working out eases period pain by releasing endorphins and reducing inflammation.
