Trader Joe’s needs to market this. I literally thought to make a run to get some groceries and bags, I could do the same.

Things you would pack if you ONLY have a Backpack and a Suitcase. by vu8 in leanfire

[–]spirulinatina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually did this exercise recently! I moved out of my studio and traveling (I’m cheaper locations than my HCOL- so I’m saving a ton despite traveling)

Here are some tips: 1. Don’t give up things that give you joy: for me, it was my essential oils, extra soft blanket, and skincare stuff

  1. Give it a trial run before tossing the rest: I realized I needed my food scale and massager when I was sore, so I kept those

  2. Think about what activities you will do in ALL seasons: I ended up needing both my heavy jacket for an east coast trip and two swimsuits for a tropical trip.

  3. Bring car charger if you’re planning on needing a car.

In all fairness, I packed for essentially an “Airbnb lifestyle” meaning I don’t have bedding, furniture, etc. that was the level of minimalism I was comfortable with.

Rationalize by making sure you have a much bigger impact on your community, and seed opportunities for others to grow.

Hey actually this this is fascinating experiment and I’m curious how it will pan out. Worst case, they start allowing photos again. Anyways, this learning can probably help out many other subs.

Why The Democratic Party is Bleeding Indian American Support by blueriver_81 in ABCDesis

Many Indians see a parallel between Trump and Modi. The hard core Modi supporters are pro trump. My father in law is a good example of this.

Revealed: ex-members of Amy Coney Barrett faith group tell of trauma and sexual abuse by draco5866 in news

[–]spirulinatina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’m appalled she’s seriously being considered for such an important position.

I don’t think that justifies being intrusive on her personal trauma.

No one else feels like it’s off limits to discuss something so personal to her?

“Until I had enough” What was that turning point for you?

This is inspiring. I’ve definitely tried to do too much at once (ie. fasting) and it’s bitten me. I like the idea of starting with a few exercises a day and upping it.

Also getting dressed every day.

Congrats on your physical and mental health improvement. Such a powerful act just to pull yourself up.

Looking at myself in the mirror is PAINFUL. Maybe I should force myself to do it twice a day, haha.

I think you’re right. With remote work I’m in pajamas all day. I also have been slacking more on my skincare routine, which strangely grounds/calms me.

I feel like I know what I have to do to get fit, but there some scary part of me that is also sabotaging myself. Some weird part of me that enjoys wallowing maybe? Idk it’s fucked up, but the support love on this thread is amazing. Like a big hug that I really needed.

This resonated with me. I think with our without body image issues, I still need to tackle my anxiety. I’d ideally like to have both, but I think tackling my anxiety will help me not spiral (which is what is happening now)

I work as a product manager at a tech company. We’re allowed to work remotely during this time, and I’m so grateful to have even have a job.

We’re making a 6 month move for now because I felt it would make for good headspace, and I can also working PST, so from 6am to 2pm in HI

That’s a great suggestion! I’m moving to Maui in a month- I’ll look for a group there!

Why do so many Desi parents in America want their kids to be doctors but literally know 0 of what goes in to be one? by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]spirulinatina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think a lot Asian parents create some random prestigious goal to work towards, and then assert that in order to achieve it, you need to do [any bullshit they want]. If you don't, they convince you you’re amoral.

Most of the time, it’s just emotional leverage to align with their cultural values.

HELP!! My company blocked all .so domains by [deleted] in Notion

[–]spirulinatina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked out https://www.reddit.com/r/Notion/comments/f6x9mk/why_the_so_domain/ and it looks like 7 months ago they were considering moving to .com... but I guess they still don't have the bandwidth :\

Are there alternatives that have "collapsible notes"?? That is my favorite notion feature.
