inb4 people learn about what the animal industry actually does to their unnecessary animals. The baby boy chicks are just as worse off imo. 😞

Fantastic color choice for the crystal. It looks a lot better than most.
I love the color here. I've never been past Vancouver but I'd love to go out to Jasper. It looks so pretty. I would say as far as photography goes, one tip I've heard is to try to have a focal point. Your focal point here seems to be the mountain, but it's getting distracted by some of the noise in front. I would try to make the focal point more distinct and obvious, and make sure you don't have other elements competing for attention (like bushes/trees). Try to get rid of any clutter when framing the shot. Or if you do have framing, make it look intentional. Line things up between trees if needed. It seems like you did a bit of framing here, but I would try to get it to be brighter and look more intentional and fuller. The best focal points will have lines in the photo pointing towards them, like a road points to a spot on the horizon.
Similarly, you could have a branch in front of the mountain, but if you're doing something like that I would suggest to keep the branch in focus and the mountain blurred out (so the branch would be the subject). Etc. I hope that makes sense!
Thanks for sharing that resource. I've been doing a lot of self-help lately too but still found myself especially weighed down today. The website was really straightforward and had friendly, simple advice, which was relieving.
Same here. I went through a breakup recently and I've been trying my hardest to not go paddling back to reddit to distract myself from all the feelings... It sucks to not have a place to vent and lean on. I hope the communities keep growing. It's really good vibes here so far, I'm looking forward to more posts as people join.
Goodbye, filament money! Good grief do big prints chew through supply.
No freaking way those are 3d printed! If so, you've got serious talent. Very nice :o
I would consider trying DBT if both CBT and EMDR didn't work out for you. I know what you mean about how silly and invalidating it feels to have a therapist just telling you to think differently. DBT is a lot less thought-oriented, and more feeling/behavior-based. I just started listening to a podcast called "The Skillful Podcast" where they take you through the techniques, if you want to try it out. If that doesn't work though, you're welcome to share a bit more about what you're looking for and I feel like folks here could try to help you find something that fits better.
It's unfortunate that tildes is invite-only. I also secretly wish they would federate their website with us somehow, but I guess we can't have everything. :p
I love the idea of going out and having tasty drinks with friends without the pressure of needing to be intoxicated. Think of it this way - if alcohol was the only reason people were going to bars, why even have cocktails to cover up the taste of it? To me it seems to fall very much in line with the other trends of society lately, like with bubbly fruity waters or healthier versions of soda. I've seen more and more people abstaining from alcohol for reasons beyond addiction. Wanting to be healthier and live life without a hangover, taking care of their bodies, challenging social norms of what's considered fun, replacing alcohol intoxication with other kinds, trying to connect in more authentic ways.
Personally I find myself drawn to these new ways of living too, and even though I still drink on occasion, I feel a lot better when I don't and I'm glad there are alternatives that are all-in (rather than just ordering a soda at the bar).

Maybe rubbing alcohol? It's a solvent. Ideally you'd want to pull the battery etc. while doing this and try to tip it so the coffee gets diluted by the alcohol and then carried out as the solution drips off. I've seen JayzTwoCents clean other computer parts with alcohol baths. I'd try something like 70-90%. I might just be talking out my ass though. But that's what I would try if I was determined to try to fix it without taking it apart. :p Make sure it has time to dry before using it.
