Hi, recently I've been looking at reviews online because I'm trying to get some quality tank tops, some quality cotton underwear etc. Before I've just gone the KMart route...

But I realized that there isn't a single store selling any of the recommended products! Any secret tank top spots in town that you guys could share? Might order them online at some point if I don't end up finding anything here.

Thanks!

I'll start this off by saying that I am not officially diagnosed. However this has been a major issue in my whole life so I have the same struggles as y'all.

For the past 6 months I've only had 1 all nighter which I'm kinda proud of. I've been fairly consistent at going to work as well.

That seems like a success but for me it has been a constant struggle to fall asleep -> then sleeping 5-6h -> being very exhausted -> sleeping 12h on the weekends -> setting myself up for failure on Monday.

It just seems impossible, and I would love to stay up late, especially today because I don't feel sleepy (although I slept like 6h last night I should feel like it).

I'm so close to giving in because it genuinely makes me happier to not fight against my own biology... I'm a video editor so maybe I have a chance at a remote job?

Idk I just want your support, it's tough... Would you consider the 6 months a success? (Even though my sleep was fucked). What should I try? I'm just tired of going against of what feels like my natural state.

I'm trying to make a Star Wars lile scene in AE. I thought about creating a 3D space with a planet PNG in the back, and some type of ship PNG slowly entering the frame closer.

How could I make it look bigger? Like it's millions of miles apart like it really would. I assume I'd have to create a realistic blur from the focus switch to really sell it.

Any advice?

I looked for a while but couldn't see anyone talking about purchasing stud earrings from Aurelinne. Saw great reviews about loose diamonds only.

Does anyone have any experience? Looking to get the princess cut 2ctw. Luvansh doesn't seem to be an option since they don't ship to Australia.

This is my first time ordering jewelry. Is it standard practice to not have the IGI certification with the earrings, as the claim?

Sorry if I should know this, but I'm a backpacker that has been living here for just a year.

I live in Darwin so there isn't too good of a selection here. I've been to a Michael Hill store, however later on I found out that people aren't too fond of them..? Also seemed a bit more expensive. I'm not sure whether I'd even take advantage of their warranty/check-up thing as I might move on from Aus at some point.

Also I'm pretty scared of ordering jewelery online as I've had odd experiences with AusPost. It's a pretty huge purchase for me.

Mostly looking for lab grown (because they're cheaper) stud earrings, I like something a bit bigger so probably 1ct.

So where to look? Online? Local jewelers? Stick to MH? Buy some whenever I happen to be visiting the east coast?

All advice is welcome! Thanks heaps!

I used to sleep on the floor for over a year and it worked wonders for my back, muscles, and hip. Now I desperately need to go back.

My setup was this: an old wool blanket (pretty solid thickness for a blanket, also real wool), and on top of that was a thin cover mattress (almost identical to the SOTNÄTFJÄRIL from IKEA).

The main problem was cleaning it but it also didn't feel like a "proper" bed.

So my main worry is that if I go for a proper futon then it's going to be wayyyy to soft as I pretty much got used to sleeping on the carpet. The price point is also a worry.

All advice is welcome here. Shipping and store wise the stuff should be available in the Baltics/Europe.

Thank you!

EXTRA INFO:

Height: 175-178cm

Weight: Around 70kg

Sleeping position: Usually on the left side, sometimes on the right, rarely on the back. Hip sometimes hurt on the sleeping setup as it was pressing the most on the ground.

Sleep issues: Hip joint issues and minor back issues.

Budget: Hopefully not too much...

Sorry for the weird title, I just couldn't come up with a title that would make more sense. Also sorry about the post. I found it EXTREMELY difficult to put my feelings into words.

So I do think I'm demi (although not 100% sure, sorry) and I've found that I can appreciate a lot of women's beauty but I rarely feel any kind of sexual or romantic attraction because of it.

So the problem is that I know I have a type. (Kind of like an analytical conclusion.) But I also think that because of that I think I should only go for them. Like I'm scared to date someone else because I know I'll take a long time to start feeling stuff only to then figure out that oh I can't do this. Like choosing a career and then finding out you don't like it a few years in and so the time and effort has completely gone to waste. (Sorry if this is a stupid analogy I'm struggling to explain this)

So I feel like it narrows down the dating pool a lot. Like ALOT. I have a select few that I suspect I might fall for and the 99% of the rest I'm scared to invest time in.

Ofcourse dating for a demisexual isn't ideal but I'm finding it difficult to build connections in the current world so I've been trying to date. Trying without ANY success but I want to keep on trying.

So like how do I do this? Before I've always had long time friends from school etc. I don't know how to live like this but I also want to find someone to love. I don't even know what to ask help about?! I'm just hoping someone here understands me haha.

I've got clips from different movies on the same timeline and I'm thinking about color correcting them to make it look somewhat cohesive. However I'm pretty bad at color correction and have only done it for footage that's filmed on the same camera, so it already looks cohesive and needs just a touch up.

Is this a doable thing or should I just not do it?

I just wanted to say that I've never in my life felt so included and loved as I do in Darwin.

This city is just full of beautiful souls even though we have some odd problems as well haha.

Must be the warm climate's doing.

Kendrick has the "Heart Part" series but I found out that Dr. Dre said there's a secret one called the "Heart Part Is Keeping It Motherfucker".

Where to listen to this song? Thank you and grey poupon Kendrick fans! We humble!

So I've been working on cliffedges with a harness recently however I didn't realize that I probably need a working at heights cert or something similar.

The company knows I don't have them, and just sent me on the job (on multiple occasions). Haven't brought it up to them yet. They intend to have me work their again soon.

To start of I think you all understand how I feel, I'm just looking for advice.

So I keep on downloading dating apps every now and then because I feel lonely or like I should date. I know for a fact that I will see the same people there plus it's incredibly difficult for me to feel anything based on an internet convo.

Also to make matters worse for me I do have a type and not a lot of people fit into it. I'm not sure if this is something to work on or not...

So the most confusing part is that I'd like to have "life partner" or "long-term" set as my goals but when I open the app I get horny and thing oh maybe I should do short-term. I've never done short-term and I never would. WHAT IS THAT EMOTION AND CONFUSION??

Thank you for your time!

Miks on alati sõnause (igaaastane uue sõna võistlus) võitja mingi kahe eksisteeriva sõna kombinatsioon? Alati võidab mingi kuradi legoläga ja tähendus on klotsisegadus lastetoas.

Muidugi eks tegelikkuses võitjad ole veits kavalad, aga mis on juhtunud päris uute sõnadega? Nuhvel ei ole uus sõna ja see kõlab rõvedalt. Meil on vaja tagasi päris keelefriike sõnu leiutama.

Minu pakkumine päris uute sõnade jaoks: õõretu (omadussõna halli ja vihmase hommiku kohta), koomõtis (nimisõna inimese kohta, kes saab kõik enda arvamused, uudised ja mõtted sotsmeedia feedidelt), pöösikivi (kivid, mis on paigutatud lillepeenra ümber äärisena)

Ja paar laisemat vähem uut sõna ka: alavik (liiga madal kehatemperatuur ehk lihtne vastanud palavikule), änkel (laensõna (ankle), sest vahest on hüppeliiges liiga palju), tehisarulage (inimene kes on täielikus ai psühhoosis), tähend (lühendatud või kaks kokku liidetud sõna ehk tähelühend)

Aitäh kuulamast minu õhtust sõnalägastamist.

So during workdays I get up before 6am, pack my lunch and my stuff, walk to a bus stop, catch the bus, and then read like 20 minutes on the bus (with noise cancelling headphones). This is an amazing start to my day, especially since I don't drink caffeine anymore and I don't pick up the phone besides turning off the alarm. Feels very good physically to move early, and for the brain to get a clear head for the day.

Then the day usually goes well after, I do physical work which feels pretty rewarding. Maybe it's just the money earning part that feels rewarding though, don't know.

However I don't have much time to allocate to my hobbies which I am pretty sad about and the weekends could be the perfect opportunity but for some reason I spend my weekends like a depressed student (that I used to be). Sleep in like 3 hours, barely get out of bed, eat some shit food, boot up the computer and watch videos until it's time to sleep again. It's very rarely a good day.

It's like I'm two different people. How should I approach this? I feel like the sense of urgency during working days comes from the need for money, but it also feels a bit internal. During my off days I feel neither, no work so no money plus no internal motivation.

Thanks in advance! (I have diagnosed ADHD if that's useful info, might mess with energy levels idk)

I'm struggling to find sources for non traditional movie scoring. My personal favourites are Ennio Morricone, Ludwig Göransson, and Vangelis (mainly his work on Blade Runner).

Of course it's orchestral adjacent because that's the nature of film scores but I hope it makes some sense. (Not like a full John Williams kind of score).

Thanks!

Hi! I've been in Darwin for about half a year now. Everyone keeps telling me about how the flights to Bali used to be so cheap etc, but they're like 600 bucks for the round trip now. Even flying to Timor Leste costs a ton.

Are there any destinations that still have alright fare prices. Plus points if I can get a sick fitted suit made there for a cheaper price.

Whenever I work I tend to end the day on a somewhat positive note. Made some money, worked a bit. Whenever I stay home (due to being sick, having a day off etc) I usually am feeling empty and unaccomplished. I said usually because sometimes I work on my creative projects and make real progress. Then I feel pretty alright. I tend to get stuck behind mental blocks though so usually the progress is small and slow.

That being said I feel like the feeling of accomplishment is just fake? Like yeah something's there but it's not real. I don't believe that I'm a positive to the world with my job if I'm being honest.

Do I just produce serotonin from earning money? Or just by doing something active for 8 hours? I don't get it. I want to feel as proud when I do work that I love. I hate that I have to slave away 8 hours in a system that I don't believe in to feel good. It's like my beliefs and emotions are completely disconnected.
