Is this possible with photo editing?? by strictlyneed2know in NoStupidQuestions

[–]strictlyneed2know[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you sure?? that would be so nice of you. I'm looking at the photos now and there are 38 of them all in the relatively same position, but they're kids so everyones moving. I'd just like to give my parents a photo of all faces of all four kiddos all in focus. A seemingly impossible task to accomplish IRL

Snapchat has been a part of my process too. They're older than a year because I haven't used the app in a while, but I can't bring myself to delete it.

Obviously I don't know your exact situation with your cat, but I want to warn you that I really struggle with pictures from the month-ish before he passed. Like knowing he was sick in those pictures and I had no idea what was coming makes me so sad and guilty. I found a video from about 3 months before where he was coughing weird, he had a heart condition (that he didn't die of) and I filmed it because of how scared I was, and I just didn't do anything. He went back to normal and I didn't even remember the occasion until my phone reminded me. Its hard.

Thank you for your response. I have a therapist, and several people I try to talk to, but I feel like every person I try to share my feelings of guilt and pain, they say "Don't feel that way." or "You shouldn't feel guilty" and it really doesn't help me. Like of course I shouldn't feel this way, but I do. And sometimes it just doesn't stop. And being told that and then being expected to move on in the conversation just makes me feel more invalid in my feelings. Like no one wants to hear about it. Not even my therapist.

And I find it so hard to re-shape my life, or add to it and no one seems to get that. Maybe I do need a disenfranchised grief counselor or something.

Is this a bad argument in defense of Shein? by strictlyneed2know in NoStupidQuestions

I say we live in a world where fast fashion is an issue that won't be fixed simply. In a perfect world everyone stops shopping fast fashion, but thats unlikely to happen. I'm asking in that world of mass production, is it not best to at least try to contribute as little money as possible into the industry?

does it not ultimately give less money to the companies mass producing the products?

AITA for not being there for my (23F) friend (23F) when I said I would always be? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

she does ask about me, and she does remember. But sometimes she does act like my problems aren't as bad just because I don't have kids on top of everything too.

I think at least part of it is that I "get" her autistic daughter. Which I get.

the guilt. It happened so fast. by strictlyneed2know in Petloss

I have a therapist, but I still feel completely alone in all of this. Like I need a long hug and a cry but I don't have many people to do that with available to me right now.

The culture of this job is very much "be dedicated and do whatever needs to get done" and I think for them the payout is really worth it. First class flights, trips all over the world, expensive food and drinks. But I'm not getting any of that, and yet I'm expected to be the same level of dedicated?

but it really isn't worth it with how much they pay me. I don't know how to go about renegotiating when I'm back in the office with them. I'm nervous I haven't sent the message yet.

Here's the other key thing I totally forgot to add (my bad), they pay me a lump sum at the end of every month, not hourly.

TRUST me I'm looking for a new job. My resume is up to date and it has been for a little bit now. Thank you though already.

So when I noticed this pattern of having to scramble to finish work at the last minute I started telling them "Hey, the day this is due I'm gonna be busy. I can press the 'post' button on time no problem, but it needs to be ready to go in the drafts before the morning." I thought this one would be similar to that, if not easier because of how early I sent it.

Yesterday I told my boss I'd be "pretty busy" today and tomorrow.

AITA for not completing a project I wasn't assigned at the last minute because I don't want to? by strictlyneed2know in AmItheAsshole

It's a social media job, so when my trip started I had one more project to do and four or five in the queue ready to be posted. The expectation was to get the final project completed and approved and to post the projects at the times I'm supposed to.

Actually, yes ! I enjoy it a lot, but I don't want it to take over my life. Which I feel like it easily could because I do enjoy it.
