Hello, all!

I am a college student and I've got 3 weeks til I leave for a 2-month internship in Japan where I will be part of a video team for a marketing/PR company. I need to study Japanese everyday, edit photos (I am a photographer and have some last pics to finish up), and read through all the information provided to me by CIEE. I also need to workout and follow a diet to lose weight.

However, I really suffer when it comes to self-set goals. I work extremely well when I've got a team, people counting on me, coworkers, a real-life work environment. Not just my house.

I am seriously unable to push myself to meet the deadlines I set for myself and to follow any type of set schedule. I definitely try, but it feels like something seriously is pushing against me, mentally, when I try. I'll even sit down and START stuff but quickly want to stop.

When I was at college for the first weeks of summer, I was easily able to follow my own schedule since I could leave the apartment to do work, and wasn't distracted by my dog. And because I had friends on campus to hang out with, and thus, I needed to get work done during to day so I could see them at night.

At home, no friends. No managers or workers. And I figure, "I can cuddle with my dog a little bit. I have no plans tonight anyway." But that just leaves me panicking later about how I've accomplish none of my goals.

What can I do? Please.

Thanks

Hello, all!

I wanna hear some theories that are out there. Nobody 'round these parts wants 2 chat about MLP with me.

One that I love is the theory that the Wonderbolts are ex-military and, once the wartimes were over, they just started doing more aerial stunts. I mean, everything they do reflects a military attitude and environment, right?

Thats mine!

Hit me with your best shot!

Samsung s26 owner, here.

When i download video or photo from emails or Snapchat or sometimes texts, they do not appear in my gallery. And when i open them in "MyFiles", and try to "add to album", it only shows the albums in my Google photos or drive or whatever.

I've spent nearly 15 minutes trying to figure out how to get this shit into my gallery and am losing it.

Anyone know how i can get downloads yo go directly to my gallery?

Thanks a million!

Every time I move, import, or resize an image in photoshop, this bar pops up and asks me to confirm. How can I get rid of this? It is really slowing me down

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I am interning abroad for an international company in Japan for 2 months starting in 4.5 weeks from now.

Now that school is over, I can finally invest some time into studying basic Japanese to prepare for my time abroad. I know that 4.5 weeks is not much time, but I am very good at picking up language, understanding grammar rules and pronunciation, etc.

I am hoping to master reading/writing katakana hirigana as well as speaking using basic words and phrases that will help me navigate everyday situations in japan. And I do best with structured learning, so I want to make a plan.

______________________________

Here are some resources I am in search of:

Basic Japanese lessons in video format to learn common phrases, some grammar, and pronunciation. Something structured and easy to understand is preferable.

A well-organized Japanese language website which I can reference when I have questions about certain grammar, phrases, and vocabulary. For example, this is a resource I use for Korean that I love: https://www.howtostudykorean.com/

A place to listen to/read children's stories, if that would be helpful

________________________________

I would also love any tips on what else I should study and/or prepare before my trip. Or reccomendations of any other resources that you have found helpful.

Thanks so much! I appreciate you :)

Why cant we just connect with each other?

We spend all day on phones, laptops, ipads, computers, etc. Do we really need TVs in every restaurant, bar, waiting room, lobby, gym, etc?

Especially restaurants.

I want to connect with friends and family. Without being distracted or watching their eyes constantly flick away to the giant TV behind me.

Why do we always have to consume slop? I dont feel like I'm living my own life sometimes. Just being pulled away, distracted, forced to consume media and advertisements.

They put TV advertisements on ancient, gothic churches. I mean, what are we doing?

:(

Hello,

I am interested in buying a Godox flash but the kit on B&H comes with a VB26A but the only replacement batteries I can find is VB26B. If I buy the B battery, will that have any implications in terms of not fitting the charging port or wearing down my gear?

Link to the B&H kit:

Let me know!

Hello

I binged today. On sweets. I ate a LOT of calories.

I laid in bed all day. Slept the entire day away. It was so beautiful out.

I am slightly depressed. Why did i binge and ruin a beautiful day?

I just feel horrible and lonely.

I dont know why, but I find it sorta wierd and annoying when people leave comments on youtube video, then go:

Edit: Omg! Thank you guys for 2k likes!!!

Not sure why but...that gets me.

I am brand new to this subreddit and have absolutely fallen in love with visible mending!

But I am very lost when it comes to the differences between all these different types of mending. Could anyone break them down for me in a simple manner?

Embroidery

Darning

Sashiko

Thanks so much!
