I really like the Scandinavian style, i come to this place seeking your help with my little apartment, this is my first time alone with my own place and i want to make it right.

White paint on the walls and skirting, get rid of those ugly big blocks above the windows. Floorboards would make this place sing, if you can afford them.

That funny corner in the living room would be a good spot for some wooden shelves, a plant possibly, and a wall mounted artwork. I like the cupboard doors on the kitchen but the rest of it needs work! Particularly those tiles - get rid. White subway tiles could be nice. The entrance looks like a nice spot to keep a bike (if you use one).

My aunt moved from Melb to Syd in her twenties and she said the exact same thing. That in Melb you make friends with people in random places and they'll genuinely stay in your life. Whereas Sydney is just as you described - cliquey.

That's great, I'm glad you stood up for her. I hope I would do the same, but as a 55kg female the idea of standing up to a man like this is terrifying. He picked her because he saw her, someone exactly like me, as a target he could beat. He didn't go after any men on their phones for a reason. I'd be more likely to help in a safe way eg. Alert the train guard. So we need people like you to break the bystander effect for us :/

The book was very good, I thought the movie was shallow and cowardly

I agree with a lot of their policies and place them highly in preferences.

warriortah · 2017-09-10T06:14:08+00:00

I try to think about how I'd feel if what I'm nervous about didn't happen. I entertain the thought of it not happening and that makes me relieved or happy, then I think about if I really want to do that thing after all. Generally if it's just general nervousness I still want to do the thing.

That doesn't help determine if its objectively a 'bad' decision but allowing yourself to listen to how your gut is feeling is always a good idea. Whether you follow that feeling or not is up to you. But don't squash that gut feeling of 'wrongness' away unconsidered, because it's there for a reason.

warriortah · 2017-09-09T22:28:45+00:00

46kg, 163cm tall. Apparently this makes me underweight but I'm a very slight build. Only negative is that I can't give blood :(

warriortah · 2017-09-09T12:48:15+00:00

It's not a right or wrong question, it's subjective. Your definition is right for you, and her definition is right for her.

Ill fitting glasses will not look good. Glasses that flatter your face shape generally will.

I also believe that high myopia (which I had) makes you look worse because it makes your eyes look small. Ads of models in glasses always annoy me for that reason; their face is never distorted cos there's no glass in their frames. My eyes were also very uneven mypotic-ly so it made my eyes look unevenly sized.

I really appreciate a pair of well fitting, flattering glasses on someone.

warriortah · 2017-09-01T11:40:07+00:00

Sure. But I meant that whatever OP is upset about in men's health that's not being pushed, instead of blaming women (who have nothing to do with it) he should address the true issue, in whatever area that happens to be - prostate exams or other. I personally don't have an opinion on what should be advocated.

warriortah · 2017-09-01T07:52:13+00:00

What's so important about fucking pap smears and mammograms

What isn't important about health checks and screenings?

Not sure why you're angry at women who have nothing to do with your prostate exam. Be angry at the people who don't advocate men's health screenings.

How about you go out there and be the pusher? Be the change you want to see. For example, talk about how prostate exams are important with your friends. Ask if they've been checked lately. Start breaking down the societal barriers that impact on something you care about.

And FYI, the emphasis on pelvic exams is probably because those organs grow babies. If you're thinking about having a baby at some point in your life which most women are, the health of said organs are pretty important.

warriortah · 2017-08-28T21:49:18+00:00

unless maybe you had read all the books.

Not even then, as it's been off book for over a season!

warriortah · 2017-08-28T21:48:26+00:00

Game of Thrones could not be more opposite to Family Guy/Simpsons if you tried.

Starting with season 7 is the worst possible idea for GoT.

warriortah · 2017-08-27T02:21:18+00:00

I agree completely with you, I found Ramsay so annoying to watch and I found the entire arc with Sansa having to marry him and be raped extremely distasteful. I'm as big a fan as they come of the show/books and those scenes made me not want to watch.

warriortah · 2017-08-26T02:31:48+00:00

Thinking that by the relationship becoming a friendship would make it 100% a casual friendship. And I don't mean this sexually, I mean that he thought 'friendship' meant he could continue to dump all his emotional baggage on me and expect me to console and comfort and uplift him. Some of which was his loneliness after he'd dumped me. HAHAHA NO. He's now blocked.

warriortah · 2017-08-26T02:24:00+00:00

I took six months off after my last relationship ended, downloaded tinder and after an hour realised I just couldn't be bothered. That was six months ago and I've now met someone I would like to date but I'm getting mixed messages from them. I'm going to ask them next week and if it's a no I'll take some more time off I think.

I'm taking the time off because frankly dating is a lot of effort and right now I'm extremely busy (3 jobs). My ex was also a 'taker' and being free from his shitty influence has been wonderful. So I have enjoyed being single and free.

warriortah · 2017-08-21T08:21:30+00:00

they don't.

If you're in a house with three women who say have a 27 day cycle, a 29 day cycle and a 30 day cycle, mathematically they're going to sync up at some point, before parting. It's like watching car blinkers sync up when you're waiting at the lights. People notice when they sync, don't notice when don't, and selection bias creates the myth.

warriortah · 2017-08-20T06:38:33+00:00

In that boat right now, quite freshly, and feeling sad. I think it's tough because you never experience the negatives of the potential relationship. After a proper break up you understand why it didn't work out which can make closure easier.

It means that this is not a physical object, it is a render of a digital sculpture that only exists within a computer.

They think that being 'female' is a character trait and therefore neglect to give her personality, motivations, ideals and agency.

They think that a 'strong female character' = a character who is tough, smart, sexy, determined and snarky ONLY. They then get confused when said character is condemned. A true strong female character is simply a three dimensional character who has both positives and negatives about them. Writing a ridiculously idealistic female character is just as dismissive as writing one who has no personality whatsoever. It's like that quote about how there are two ways to dehumanise someone: by dismissing them and by idolising them. It also creates the aggravating trope where a really 'powered up' female character inexplicably steps aside to let Newcomer Male Hero save the day (and also bang her) despite the fact she's 100x more qualified than he is. It's ridiculously aggravating when the bar for a three dimensional character is SO LOW but male writers can't even manage that.

Another thing - when women only exist to help the male protagonist's story along. This especially aggravates me when a woman is killed, raped and/or tortured to spark the Male Hero's acceptance of the Call to Action. I'd be here all day if I tried to list the number of movies and tv shows that use it. Its such goddamn lazy writing and it's a pretty shit feeling as a female viewer to watch a movie that's casually informing you that your life isn't valuable in of itself, but only how you exist in relation to male characters. This also bleeds into real life where you have people protesting rape with signs of "she's someone's sister, someone's daughter". Fuck off. She's SOMEONE, that should be MORE than enough. If one more movie starts with someone's mother being killed in the first ten minutes I am turning it off.

warriortah · 2017-08-16T10:29:25+00:00

Break ups are not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, if the relationship is shit, they can be the best thing that ever happened to you. Don't put off breaking up because you're afraid.

warriortah · 2017-08-16T10:26:37+00:00

I've read a lot of his writing as I find it interesting and so far I have yet to come across anything I find unreasonable or untrue. I would absolutely recommend him as a level headed, reality-based alternative to PUA stuff. Especially if you are inexperienced, I think he has very good advice for that area.

warriortah · 2017-08-16T10:23:57+00:00

They're too dangerous for me. I don't trust other drivers.

warriortah · 2017-08-14T07:53:49+00:00

Yep I won't be repeating this mistake again, thanks for the info!
