2024 Guide on UK Visa Delay and NSF Mail: Understanding reasons for processing delays and tips for managing extended visa wait times.

The only thing that was said by my grandparents and turned out to be true was the advice that if you want to know what kind of person you're dealing with is to have a look at their shoes.
Just do it, but not too obvious.

A loneliness cure make one friend a year

"The landmark Harvard Study of Adult Development suggests that close relationships are the most significant factor in personal well-being yet it is not the number of relationships, but the quality of the connection that matters. Gaining one closer friend in 2024 may significantly boost your life satisfaction, as friendship is known to protect against stress and improve mental health. And one friend a year is manageable, yet could lead to three friends in three years and a handful of friends in five."

question for indie artists: I got an inquiry from someone who works for a multinational fast fashion and housewares brand asking for free samples of some of my products. Ive done some research on this person and they seem to legit work for this company but Im a little leery of (A) sending them stuff for free and (B) sending anything to a company that is known for ripping off indie artists. If anyone has any advice on this, I would very much appreciate it!

How does a middle age person change careers and still pay the bills

Everything I look at would be a massive pay cut...

Alternately, a side gig + a lower paying job might cut it

I have a triple whammy job: IT (hours and urgency) + Services Oriented Company (I'm sold for projects and have multiple "masters") + PM (Ultimately accountable for everyone's F ups and the "one throat to choke") = many nights without sleep and many sleepless nights.

It's catching up to me...

Since a certain influencer's 100 days of drawing is causing mixed emotions. While I am by no means professional level (in my eyes)
I do want to give out a piece of wisdom as an older artist:

Do not hold yourself to the same standards of another artist's skill and or experience level.

Everyone learns differently. Our situations are not the same, such as income, life responsibilities, social connections, and abled bodies. Understand how you learn and it'll help you a lot!

CV sifting - mid level developer edition.

Look, you might have been in the industry almost as long as I've been alive, but if your CV doesn't even *mention* any of the requirements (aside from the vague notion of "I learn quick") I can't pass you onto interview.

Additionally, throwing CV's at anything tangentitally related to your profession just wastes everyones time.

One thing I really wished that I had been told when I was younger is that when you are sad, feel bad, angry, whatever, you can just do something to make somebody else happy and it just goes away.

It's really almost like a cheat code for life, and sort of insane we don't drive that into children early on.

Are you disappointed Make somebody smile!
Were you treated unfairly Treat somebody else great!
In a lot of pain Do a favor for a stranger!

This is a solved problem, but we still treat these situations as unknowable.

This whole forced microsoft copilot thing is making me so mad. Been thinking for a while of having a second hard drive with a linux distro for my personal work that i can boot to, and keeping windows for external work stuff.

Not sure how to go about doing this, though, does anyone have any advice on this

Also for distros i was thinking popOS since I recall using it for his work*. I have been using Kubuntu on a laptop and it works great, but I am open to suggestions. I mostly use Krita, Scribus and OpenOffice.

*Edit: I recalled wrong, see replies :)

Here's a core concept video on Seneca's Letter 30, in which he uses the example of a friend who is approaching death to discuss how we all might think about our own inevitable demises.


So, I have kidney cancer. We are pretty sure its some type clear cell (most common). Im having my kidney and mass removed February 19th. And while the thought of living with one kidney doesnt bother me the idea of surgery does. Im coming around more to it.

Its also good there doesnt seem to be any spread (according to all scans). Doesnt mean it cant come back, but maybe we can take this out and get to living a little more.

You don't need to be flashy nor loud. Just keep being the steady reliable person that others know will deliver. You don't need to show off. You just promise then back it up. Deeds not words.

Considering trying to get into . We live near a playhouse so gonna see if I can just volunteer there on the weekends doing set work or something to test the waters and get some from the .

The thing is, I discovered that I enjoy acting while performing in a "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves" parody play waaay back in 8th grade but my low self-esteem issues led me away from pursuing it after being mocked by some assho uh, other kids. I've always regretted letting them get in my head.

Now, playing has rekindled my interest, plus I've gotten much better at not giving a shit about others' opinions.

Might be worth a shot. Any from any for an aspiring
