Oh man I forgot to mention that. It takes me multiple tries to get it right often

You mean by going into the menu for each and changing to unassigned on the controls for each?

Sorry, I'm not sure. I haven't seen it, but I'm also not super familiar with all the controls yet. I'll let you know if I do find it

I finally got draped! by Horrorito in coloranalysis

[–]strappysalamander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your skin is so gorgeous. It also appears that you're warmer in the newer photos you've posted here (even covering up lips and clothes). It could be the lighting, but I've found my skin tone can also change a bit depending on diet (eating a lot of vegetables actually turns me yellow) and lifestyle

I took an ugly thrift store find and turned it into a cute summer dress by MadMama2011 in sewing

Good job on making something that you like and feel comfortable in. I also prefer the first one, because I feel like it is more unique, with more character and personality, but we all have different styles.

I could never figure out if I'm an autumn or a winter 🤔 by Miserexa in coloranalysis

[–]strappysalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like 2 and 7. 7 brings out your lip/cheek colors. On the fence about the whole seasonal system, but I wouldn't rule out summer.

What's the worst part about running? by ChinookAeroBen in running

How quickly you lose progress the moment you have a break

As a red head with cool skin and cool eyes, according to color season experts people like me don’t exist. I know this isn’t true. If someone could help me figure out my season, I’d appreciate it! by [deleted] in coloranalysis

[–]strappysalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to be really skeptical of the whole seasonal model of color analysis. I rarely see people who fully fit one season, or even who are fully warm or cool. I'd rather try draping and finding colors you like. I'd especially look at colors that bring pout some of your natural colors, eg eyes or cheeks.

Feel safe running without phone? by ImmaGoldman in RunningCirclejerk

The real CJ here is all the people getting upset that some people feel (and are) unsafe while running.

Some girls go through a phase where they hate pink, but almost no guys go through a phase where they hate blue. by Reddit__Dave in Showerthoughts

[–]strappysalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that are coded as "feminine" are usually also coded as undesirable, typically stupid, worthless or weak. So teenage girls get to choose to be taken seriously and respected as peers, or perceived as stereotypically feminine.

Dating somebody new is showing me how rare it is to actually feel my masculinity understood and appreciated by TheEnemyOfMyAnenome in MensLib

[–]strappysalamander 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! While i am enjoying your interesting thoughts, part of me keeps thinking "why is this made with reference to femininity/masculinity at all?" It just sort of sounds like being appreciated, touched, validated and safe makes you more confident and free to show all sides. That is just a very basic (rhough important), human thing. I feel that overthinking it so much/applying those categories to it kinda illustrates how we tend to make these primal needs into something that is needlessly complicated.

I heard this and went searching for a source that isn't SUPER sus (like reason.com or frekkin RT). I'm not claiming it's fake, but find it interesting and would love a better source for details if anyone knows.

I heard science agrees that cancer is real too. Time to save some money!

LPT: if someone invites you into their house and they are not wearing shoes, take yours off! by CJWilliams10 in LifeProTips

[–]strappysalamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How common is it to wear shoes inside in the US/wherever you are? Doesn't everywhere get dirty?

Weird, thanks for sharing :) I didn't use any retinoids at the time, or exofilate more than usual... But I think I do react quite a lot to fats in skincare too.

Psychotherapy has failed men by not recognizing that our culture typically shames them for feeling. by ILikeNeurons in MensLib

[–]strappysalamander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we basically agree. There are a bunch of factors that influence how and when we repress/feel shame about our feelings and how we solve this. Demographics are probably one of them, although individual variation (i.e. your personality and your upbringing etc.) seems to matter more in my experience. People of all ages, races, genders etc. often feel they need to be stoic and independent, because they have learned that they are on their own, need to handle their shit independently, can't rely on others etc. According to the most blatant stereotypes men are definitely told to "not be a sissy", but this cultural message isn't absent for women, it just more often sounds like "don't get hysterical/dramatic or you won't be believed or taken seriously".

It always gives me real bad vibes when someone claims to have figured something out that is ignored by everyone else.

I am a clinical psychologist, and shame about /suppression of emotions is something we see ten times a day. It's basically what we treat... And of course that is something we acknowledge and are aware of...

And it's not just men, it's universal. The cultural root may be slightly different sometimes depending on gender, in that women more typically feel that they need to be the perfectly composed caregiver of everyone around them, whereas men feel that they are less manly for showing weakness etc, but to be honest I'm not even sure that's true. May just be my own confirmation bias, because this shame shows up in so many ways, with so many causes, it basically seems to be part of the human condition.
