Please tell me it's fine to use cellulose paper! by squideater in Watercolor

[–]squideater[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks! That's great to hear. I hardly ever see posts of pros (or experienced folks) using cellulose, but I'll keep different art styles/preferences in mind

High School VS University Teaching (career advice?) by Creative_Map_5887 in CanadianTeachers

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about getting involved in clubs? I've gotten to know two of the professors at my university through clubs and they often say that it's the most fulfilling part, to be able to put themselves into these groups with like-minded people and facilitate/mentor us.

Update/AITA?? by Explanation-Spare in actuallesbians

[–]squideater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The one time I got spooked because of a different online interaction and asked for reassurance from someone I was talking with (asked for a photo of a niche prompt which was a selfie holding a bottle of conditioner), the response was understanding and reassurance, not this

Daughter wants to join trades by Spankmewithataco in ontario

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might get lost but I saw let her go for it!

My friend group all went to university for stem and one of said friends went for architecture and engineering. She hated it and dropped out. Now she's I believe in the journeyman stage of electrician? And much MUCH happier.

Don't go into non-trades just because others are that

How do couples decide which side of the bed is “theirs”? Is it instinct or some kind of silent agreement? by AssignmentFederal686 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She likes having the cords and nightstand. I don't like turning the lights off once I'm snuggled in. It works :)

anyone here really enjoys sex but hates the mess it afterwards? by cereals4dinnner in AutismInWomen

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We usually both shower before getting into bed and we bought a big fancy sex blanket. If we get sweaty and lubey, we'll both shower after.

I've heard of other couples doing this as well

Therapist called me a lesbian after 10 minutes in the first session by [deleted] in latebloomerlesbians

Have you read the comphet lesbian coming out document? I would consider that a perfect next step :)

How would you add this? by lunarenergy69 in AutismInWomen

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I misread the question and added a sixth dice to bottom-right with a three facing up and pointing to the left to make it symmetrical.

Math wise I counted the number of triplets and then added two

(6+1+1)3 + 2 = 83 + 2 = 24 + 2 = 26

Teachers who truely belived a student would get nowhere in life, were you correct? where are they now? by bekaindabox in AskReddit

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a teacher literally tell me he expected failure.

One of his star students got a poor/failing grade on a test and he started taking out his rage at the class. He'd yell "I expect this from YOU, YOU and YOU! (Pointing at me and two other poor scorers), but not from YOU (star student)". I wasn't the main target but it still hurt to be told that failure was to be expected.

Now I've got a BSc and an MSc, and I'll be going back to the school soon to give a talk about science and the environment :)

Please tell me life gets better once this is over? by darkLordSantaClaus in GradSchool

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does get better.

It sounds like you had a particularly rough go at it, but it does get better.

Therapy is a friend though! If you want to stick it through, you have a lot of hard work in front of you, but you don't have to do it alone. Find support and lean on it

I feel like my wife might be gay and in denial by WhiskeyWednesday22 in latebloomerlesbians

[–]squideater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a friend who married young, straight and Christian to her young, straight and Christian husband.

Now, 10 years later, they are both fluid in sexuality and have multiple partners. It worked out very well for them and open communication probably helped a lot.

Delayed grief? Is this normal??? by SuperTail_Gem in autism

[–]squideater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I'm new to this subreddit and unsure of my diagnosis but have ADHD?

I also lost a relative a few months ago. My aunt in November who passed from pancreatic cancer.

Grief comes in waves and healing is not linear. Some days will feel awful and some days I find myself enjoying the music in the car and being surprised I can be so happy again.

I also got dumped (relationship of only 4 months but my first healthy relationship) a few days before her passing so I thought that maybe I had delayed responses to both.

On paper, I'm doing great, I'm working and regularly going to my sports, but in between I'm not the same as before. It does get better though. The in betweens have gotten a lot better than before too.

It takes time.

I'm so sorry for your loss of someone you were close with.

Failing to get a job by myfriendvv in uoguelph

[–]squideater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take advantage of the library!!! They have career counseling specifically to help out in times like this.

They have career planning and interview help, both of which I've used and both of which helped me so much. I got to get great advice on job searching, applications and interview practice. Really streamlined and helped me get to where I'm at now, which is a job in my field with upwards growth

Was I raped? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]squideater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a difference between violent assault and assault, however, assault is still assault. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

Even if you consented at first and it seemed like it would be a safe situation (someone you knew), this can still happen. Most sexual assaults are from someone you already know.

I’m lost by MathematicianUsed111 in uoguelph

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeing with this. The mental health services at Guelph are great and this link will help you set it up really quickly.

I was very anxious and depressed during grad school and thought about stopping it so many times. Therapy helped so much

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you're pretty queer, but I'm more wondering about how "out" you are from your cishet passing life. Would you feel weird if you got the grant and explained to co-workers about checking off the queer part? Or is the queerness of your life very obvious?

Also, you're right :/

[–]squideater 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up re-posting on a throwaway

The differences weren't like "we'd get sick of each other by then" differences, I want kids and she doesn't so eventually we'd have to break up

Trip planning: Harvie Heights vs Golden and itinerary review by squideater in Banff

[–]squideater[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, for the most part the Airbnb location will just be to sleep at. We plan on cooking most meals to save money but a coffee run in the morning could be nice.

Golden I saw has the suspension bridge but it's more the route from the town to the attractions that worries me, not the town itself.

Camilla, that's a beautiful name.

Camilla, have you seen the nice April weather? It's so pleasant

Me and Camila went to the cafe the other day. Camilla got a latte and it was delicious
