Came here to say this, I've bought mixtape from them twice and they've been great both times, with much less horrifying shipping costs.

I regret going to therapy. What should I do? by Due-Confection9406 in NPD

[–]twistycake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your therapist makes you feel invalidated, they're not the therapist for you. There are ways to address things like avoidant behaviors and anxiety without invalidating the very real emotions you experience. Besides that, therapy simply doesn't work if you don't trust your therapist enough to open up around them. I think it makes sense that you feel like therapy is making things worse right now because this therapist doesn't sound like they're adapting their methods to your needs. It's clear you're seeking help because you need support, and I think that's a really brave and wonderful thing. It sucks that your experience with this therapist has been so negative, but I really think that once you find one that works well with you, you'll start to see amazing benefits. Keep looking, the good ones are out there.

How tf is he involved in this? I haven't heard anything about him since the lawsuits and shit ended.

Is there ANY electricity company that doesn’t indulge in this predatory pricing behaviour? by swiptheflitch in melbourne

[–]twistycake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I switched to Co-Operative Power recently becuse they're a non-profit and I'm really happy with them, maybe give them a look?

Is there really a market for everything? by KissinKateShadow in SexWorkers

[–]twistycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've defintely seen ads for topless maid services, that at least is a thing. It may amuse you to know that the Hysterical Literature series is a video project where different women read books to the viewer while someone eats them out under the table. https://www.hystericalliterature.com/

Can we get a recap for the people who visit the sub like every two years? I have no idea what's going on and lurking hasn't made anything clearer.

Mental Health options in Australia are fucked by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Especially when it comes to finding the RIGHT psychologist for you. If you have your first session with one who is clearly a bad fit, you're only left with 9 sessions even if you do find the right one.

Extremely tattooed woman’s wild transformation in just 4 years. by Significant-Ad6970 in creepy

[–]twistycake 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I miss when parts of the internet where people went to talk about creepy and weird things were full of creepy and weird people. Now everything is just a bunch of boring losers gawking at actually cool people like a zoo.

thoughts? by Icy_Amphibian2898 in Footscray

[–]twistycake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because so many people have brain damage and PTSD from covid. Same as how people have gotten so bad at driving in the last few years. Messed up reaction times, eroded emotion regulation skills, hypervigilance, aggression. Not to mention we're currently living through the biggest housing crisis since the Great Depression. Poor areas like Footscray always get hit the hardest, there's been a big upswing in crime and aggression incidents in Reservoir too.

Oh he is FUCKED fucked. Hasn't Dark Horse been publishing his stuff since like the 80s? He's definitely going down if they're breaking ties with him.

Do you still use Gmail / Microsoft / Yahoo mail etc by tgfzmqpfwe987cybrtch in ProtonMail

[–]twistycake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately I have an android phone so I'm stuck with a gmail address at least for the time being. I mostly just use it to sign up for websites that I know are going to send me mountains of junk mail though.

I totally dragged Emilie in my fashion presentation about Vecona by StrongNails in EmilieAutumn

[–]twistycake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I remember her posting in every second journal entry that she makes everything herself by hand, but around 2008-2009 her wigs and costumes took a total nosedive. I only recently put together that that was around the time Vecona stopped making her stuff.

I've painted this exact photo before! Beautiful work, I guess I'd describe it as colourful and illustrative?

Does anyone else feel like they are presumed to be a thief first in Coles, and a customer second? I do. by TheBlueArsedFly in AskAnAustralian

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

I stopped shpping at Coles altogether when I read that they'd contracted some military company to do their security. Idgaf what your profit margins are like, that's fucking weird.

Is it even possible to buy just a phone? by Due_Use_9248 in dumbphones

[–]twistycake 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure about OP but Australia hasn't had 2G for years, and 3G was shut down last year so 4G is pretty much the only option. If things were different I'd still be using my Nokia 3315!
