  • Okay so I don’t know if you’re into birdwatching at at all but that’s about the top speed of a peregrine falcon. Have you ever seen a bird of prey dive to attack?

    That’s also about the stalling speed of a passenger airplane, that is, the minimum speed it must fly at before losing lift.

    I couldn’t think of anything else that goes at around 300kmh but if I get new ideas I’ll let you know.






  • I agree with you in sentiment, but unlike you, I DO believe AI can easily get your child slave work shirt to fit better on the non existent model made out of an amalgamation of all your previous photoshoots plus stolen data.

    It keeps getting more and more accurate every day.

    Even if it doesn’t fit great straight out of the generator, you already have a Photoshop touch up artist who will fix that and any extra fingers. It works out. H&M may have to pay some extra 20% to the Photoshop designer in India, but will spare themselves paying a photographer and a model by 100%. Plus any other people in charge of recruiting models and organizing shoots now can get their hours reduced too.

    I really really hope things end up like you say they will. Nothing would make me happier than seeing these idiots hitting a wall.



  • TLDR: [Country] Citizen

    Australian citizen for sure, but to say I am Australian would mean identification and full comprehension of its culture, which I don’t. I’ve been here for about 15 years and although my understanding of its culture has improved a lot, I don’t think I’ll ever come close to “getting” it like I get the culture of my country of birth.






  • You can’t block “nicole” because the user spamming these direct messages (not public posts) changes every so often. I got three of the messages in my inbox, they’re from different users but the message is the same. The pictures are different but clearly the same person and from the same footage.

    So yeah, I’ve no idea what the point of these messages are, they are spam but if it’s phishing then it’s not very effective. It could also be a means to offend whoever the person in the footage is.

    Lots of people have been making public posts about it asking what’s the deal with it, memes, etc.


  • Don’t. Leave him in the past. You both still have feelings for each other, but that doesn’t mean it will work. It’s going to be like last time if not worse, because snowballing any issues from the first time into this hypothetical second time.

    You deserve better. Mental health issues and being a social media hermit are no excuses. He probably didn’t mean to hurt you but he did, and will keep doing so over and over again until YOU set some boundaries.

    Set those boundaries, send him away. This has nothing to do with your preference, just stay open and listen to what you want in terms of a partner. Beyond sex and gender you deserve to be treated fairly.


  • I don’t have a precise answer to your post but I’d like to add my two cents - it’s not just USA. I’m born and raised in Argentina and moved to Australia when I was 19. Although there isn’t a black vs white dichotomy here, people are very, very conscious of skin shades. I still don’t get why they obsess over it.

    Just to illustrate, my skin/hair color is sort of like Monica Belucci’s. My eyes are green. In Argentina I was considered a brunette, period. Sure, there were lots of people a bit darker than me, and also lots of people more white, but I never felt like anyone cared. You’d only bring the topic when describing someone physically. In Australia? I’ve been referred to as “a person of color” so many times I lost count, and always by Aussies -even aussies who I would consider to be of a similar complexion to mine. Immigrants on the other hand, don’t seem to mind, no matter their own color. People here somehow find ways to make the skin tone and background matter, and I’m amazed at how some conversations end up touching the race topic gratuitously. It’s in their mindset. They can’t help themselves.


  • To add to this: I went to the doctor after a nerve injury and asked whether taking B supplements would help with recovery. She said "no, No, NO please don’t take any extra B supplements because your levels are already fine. I’ve seen enough patients come with unexplained burning, tingling and twitching sensations in their bodies and it’s always because they take B supplements unnecessarily. So don’t even think about it "

    So yes our bodies can filter a lot but even then it’s also possible to overdose. Doesn’t seem to be OPs case though.


  • Look, I’m not an expert so take this comment with a grain of salt, but in my understanding vitamins and minerals are stored slowly in the body. There is a limit as to how much you can absorb of anything at one time. Taking two tablets now is probably wasting good part if not all of the second tablet. If your deficiency could be solved faster by taking larger doses your doctor would have already recommended that one for you.

    I’d be thinking ways of making sure I remember: set up reminders, keep my pills in two or three places so I can access them immediately, trying to make a routine out of it (it’s hard I know), keeping track of it in a journal.
