What do you think as a CF
  • Those sound like normal things. At least where I live it’s considered weird not to drink alcohol and not having sex.
    What do you consider obscene movies?

    "It has to be Chromium"
  • I know it's Chromium, that's why I said it.
    I didn't know they have done shady crypto stuff, I started using Brave because I needed to use Chromium in school (frontend dev) but I didn't want Crome or Edge... So Brave made sense to use.

  • Thanks for the advice, I do have a lower working memory, but Limosity costs money and that is something I don't have right now.
    I try to do a bit of job hunting with long breaks in between, taking small steps to make an application, sometimes it can take almost a week to send an application...

  • Wow that sounds like a big realization.
    Does "applied for work only as a housekeeping step" mean you applied to jobs because you're forced to? We have the same in Sweden, if I want any income at all I have to apply to at least 6 jobs every month.

    I think my anxiety with this boils down to two things: How perfect and unique every application "has" to be and also the bureaucracy itself.

    I really hate stepping on toes but I guess that's part of life, more or less.

    I have also recently realized how important networking is. I'm putting much more energy into trying to connect to people around me, adding them on LinkedIn, and stuff like that. During school we had a discord server for our class and I'm thinking about letting the classes "below" us in as well, (we were first) so we can create a network with a base on the same education. I think I'll have to coordinate that with the school, I should send them a mail soon.

    I also want to be a part of a kind of meetup thing were we host small events once or twice a month but I've never done something like that before and I don't even know where to begin 😅

  • Oily skin with moisturizer but dry without

    Ohai! I'm a bit confused, I wash my face (almost) every day and when I use moisturizer for normal/sensitive skin my face gets oily. When I don't user a moisturizer (so just washing) my face will instead feel dry and a bit rough even, especially in the t-zone and it even gets itchy.

    I am confused. Do I have dry skin? Oily? Halp plz.

  • ooh I understand! Cats are weird 😂 I mean, maybe you better stick to that litterbox, or maybe you could buy another one and drill holes in it?

    wow yeah it blends in well but it's also fairly visible due to the completely different texture (shiny against dull) and placed well. Nice!
    Mine is standing on the floor! 😅
    What hahah, it's not like it have to be in the hallway. It should be placed where it's easy to reach. I currently have mine on the floor in the guest room. The guestroom is right next to the entrance, but still.

    Sounds nice tho! My home is a complete mess with all shades of white/gray/black and multiple kinds of wood. It feels quite cluttered and we have a lot of stuff as well so that doesn't help.
    Have you seen those wrappings you can use on furniture? It's apparently called 'dekorplast' or 'möbelfolie'. Bauhaus has some. It's pretty cool how much you can change with that!

    I think I type a bit faster on the computer as well but I find it easier to take paper notes while listening 🤷 And also if the notes aren't linear I prefer paper so I can draw arrows and stuff.
    I have recently started using Obsidian and that program really helps me focus on the notes and not how it looks. I previously used Notion, wich is also great but if you go over a certain amount of GB you'll have to pay.

  • It's not a lot of work, often you just scoop out the poop, similar to how you scoop a litterbox while the pee crumbles and falls to the bottom (you practically use two stacked boxes with holes in the top one), I clean my litterbox once a day and then empties the bottom part every 2-3 days. I sometimes wipe the bottom with baby wipes (great for cleaning). I have two cats.

    My cats didn't really like it but after mixing it in with the sand for weeks I went cold turkey and just replaced the sand with pellets and that went fine, I have a pretty thick layer, around 10cm that they dig around in.

    Wow, that is really not meant to have cars. That sucks.

    woah, that does sound unsettling with everything in white, it's worse than a hospital!
    I've always been a bit confused about that, having emergency stuff in white. But it's still easy to see?
    I have a small fire extinguisher that stands in the hallway.

    Wood is nice in so many ways, it's always unique, durable, and pretty colors. I want as much wood as possible haha

    Wow, all of those walls are so beautiful!, e-ink is really starting to be well developed with clear colors pretty much like a photo, and that could easily be used as a picture frame or accent wall and it won't use electricity at all.

    I agree, my home is my sanctuary.
    I think it's okay we went of topic a bit 😅

    EDIT: I forgot to check the pellets vs clay link and it seems correct. I'd say the pellets are cheaper, sure a bag of pellets costs around 100kr but I need a new one every 3 months or so.
    You would want a litterbox like this for easier cleaning and protip; but an old newspaper in the bottom.

  • Hahaha yes, it's really nice to get stuff to the door! Speaking of that, I need to order "litter pellets" for my cats.

    It's good to be able to tho, nice for longer trips or if you need to go to the veterinary or stuff like that. I can imagine, I've driven on the outskirts of Gothenburg and a couple of times in Oslo. It's a whole other thing than driving in smaller towns.

    White is soooo boring tho. I mean, I understand why people light bright walls, but why not go for pastels or something? Or accent walls, I like accent walls.

  • How do you do simple beauty?

    As the title says, How do you do simple beauty?

    ---

    Scandinavia, warm but mild summers, cold and dry winters. 28yo, 1A hair, normal/dry-ish skin, 1C/F/i hair

    For me, hair is my biggest focus right now, I've recently started to strip my hair from silicones again. I'm not sure what my next step will be tho. I've done CO washes before and I might go back to that. The shampoo I'm using is from Coop Änglamark (if you click on "produktfakta" you get the ingredients).

    My skincare isn't very regular, especially when I'm stressed so I got a cleanser that is a bit stronger, L300 Deep Cleansing Gel, I'm not sure I'm super happy with that choice. For moisture, I use Nivea, a classic here in Sweden. As for my body, I use a lotion from Coop Änglamark, one of the few I don't feel sticky after using.

    When shaving I use a safety razor and shaving foam gel, I think next time I'll buy shaving soap as I already have a brush. (it's nice to test new things once in a while) I do get razor bumps/ingrown hairs when shaving the bikini area so I recently got an aftershave to see if it helps, so I'll see if I can figure out if I can make my own. According to Shenet (Swedish page) an aftershave is practically water or cream with some alcohol or other disinfectant in it.

  • Yeah I can imagen that is hard, combined with a reasonable price. I haven't had a car in years and it's actually pretty nice as it's easy to rent one when I need a car. There are two things I do miss, the spontaneous part of owning a car, I can just go if I want to, and I miss being able to do weekly or monthly grocery shopping.

    I do like to rent as if something breaks it's not my responsibility, but I also never had a lot of money so I can't just buy a new stove if it breaks or so. It might be a question about money..

    ooh that makes me think of those work towns in America, companies own whole towns, so in order to live there you or the person you live with will have to work at that company.

    I love scrolling through Hemnet, so many pretty homes, and some are really unique. Love it.

  • ooh I see, I never knew it was easier to buy, and it can't be hard to sell in such a big city, right? So that won't be a huge risk.
    I should check if I can get a loan for an apartment and how that works.

    ooh I see, well if I move to Stockholm or Gothenburg it will probably be pretty fast as it's for a job unless I can work from home the first month or so. I will look into HSB too, I have a list with housing queues too. I like lists..

    Smart to trade apartments! You know a lot about this.

    ahaha omg maybe that's a bit too much even for me! It must be hard to concentrate in that environment!

    What is my hair type?

    Hair shape, is it straight, curly, or wavy? !

    Hairstraind thickness, how thick is an individual hair? F - Fine hair strands, can barely see or feel them when rolled between fingers. M - Medium hair strands, in between fine and coarse, are fairly easy to see and feel kind of like a regular sewing thread. C - Coarse hair strands, easy to see even against backgrounds with the same color, feels stiff between fingers and when you roll it back and forth, you might actually hear it.

    Hair volume, how thick is the volume of your hair? To measure this you need to put all of your hair in a ponytail and measure its circumference. i - thin, less than 5 cm / 2 inches ii - average, between 5-10 cm / 2-4 inches iii - thick, more than 10 cm / 4 inches

    Combining these, you get your hair type like this: 3B/C/ii

    How do I remove buildups from my hair?

    It's a schampoo used to remove buildups from your hair, it can be used for a while before you start to use low-/no-poo hair producs or on occations to do a cleansing. This schampoo needs to contain sulfates to cleans but it can't contain silicons, mineral olies or other products that will build up on your hair.

  • Thank you! I've build my ways over the years to keep track of everything 😅

    We have like 3 companies with developers (Tickster is among them, kinda cool) but there are a lot more companies in Karlstad, it's tiny compared to Stockholm but it's still a fairly big city. A few years back I counted to around 40 companies of interest.

    30min commuting distance isn't bad at all! How is it to actually get an apartment? I've heard there are long waitinglists and you'll rent in 3rd or event 4th or 5th hand. Sometimes short periods a time jumping from apartment to apartment?

    I'm one of those who really like to go to the office, I like to go every day. I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I'm home to much 😆

  • Hey everyone, I [28F] need some advice on handling anxiety when job hunting.

    Almost a week ago I finished school and I'm once again without work. I've been job hunting about 40-50% of my adult life and it has taken a huge toll on my mental health to the point where I'm barely able to apply for jobs anymore. I have gotten a few warnings over the years due to not applying to enough jobs. ( I live in Sweden btw )

    I have tried taking breaks. I have tried waiting for the anxiety to pass. I have asked so many for advice but it's like they all give the same default answer. If their advice where enough, I would be a pro at job hunting.

    I did get an autism diagnosis a few years back and I do feel better about myself, more confident and understanding of how I work so I think this time around will be different, but it's like the old anxiety still hangs around and I don't know how to get rid of it.

    Please if you have any advice, I'd love to hear it.
