How do I get over fear of cooking?
  • What can you do to mitigate that fear? You obviously know there's some irrationality to it, but that doesn't mean that it would be invalid to try and dampen some of those concerns ^^

    How about getting a little fire extinguisher for your kitchen? I'm confident with cooking, but I still always have one on hand just in case!

    You can also try and experiment with what exactly your boundaries are. Are you comfortable making something like a soup/stew? Does it bother you to bake something? That might be more than enough for the start, and once you get comfortable with that you might even naturally want to level up to scarier stuff.

    When it comes to fears, the only way to lose is not to try. Because every instance of avoiding something you're afraid of reinforces that fear by making you think that you successfully avoided a scary situation. Even if absolutely nothing would have happened otherwise.

    Good luck!

    I feel like there's a really good amount of Europeans around, but I might just imagine that because I browse new at the times when Europeans would be awake haha

  • 👋 Welcome to c/characterdesign

    Heyo, I was missing a community dedicated to character design and OCs, so I made one 😎

    The banner and logo are still to be decided, and I'm still working on the rules and stuff!

    What are some Must Know tips for dating?
  • It will be easy once you find the right person to date.

    Very few people are properly compatible with each other, and sure, good small talk skills and general "dating" abilities will keep you dating someone for longer - but why prolong the suffering if it didn't already click naturally?

  • lohnt es sich, ambitioniert am Arbeitsort zu sein?
  • Wenn du nicht sowieso schon die Art von Person bist, die sehr viel Erfüllung und Selbstwert aus dem ambitionierten Arbeiten zieht, ist es das eigentlich nie wert. Anders als in nem unnötigen Burnout wird das sowieso nicht enden 🤷

    Falls du ambitionierter wirken willst: Spezialisier dich auf eine Art von Aufgabe oder Problem die du eher magst und werde "der Typ dafür". Leute erinnern sich eher an Personen die an spezifische Aufgaben geknüpft sind, man wirkt unersetzlicher und Leute lassen einen mit anderen Sachen eher in Ruhe lol

    (Natürlich nur je nachdem wie viel Spielraum für solche Entscheidungen dir deine Branche gibt. Meine Perspektive ist limitiert, ich hab bisher nur als Programmierer gearbeitet. Bin "der Typ für Frontend Zeug" geworden und weil jetzt alle dafür zu mir laufen hat mein Manager Schiss bekommen dass ich abhaue und mir 10% Gehaltserhöhung und ne Leistungsprämie reingedrückt... als ambitioniert würde ich mich nicht bezeichnen, ich daddel mindestens 60% meiner Arbeitszeit am Handy rum)

  • I would solve the Third Body Problem for nuggets right now
  • During many Olympics, Usain Bolt sustained himself on nothing but 100 Chicken McNuggets a day, because they have a really optimal Carb to Protein ratio and are very consistent (whereas strange new food in foreign countries might be risky).

    So, you're just eating like one of the world's best athletes.

  • Diagnose steht - nächstes Level: Psychiater finden (Raum Aachen)

    War jetzt am Samstag beim Dr. Klinga, und wie erwartet steht die ADS-Diagnose.

    Heute hab ich mich mal direkt auf die Suche nach einem Psychiater gemacht der Medikamente verschreiben kann. Im folgenden mal eine Liste der Stellen an denen ichs schon probiert habe und die ich schon auf dem Schirm hab, könnte ne ganz praktische Info für andere Leute im Raum Aachen sein;

    PIA am Alexianer -> Wurde mir explizit vom Klinga empfohlen, telefonisch nicht erreichbar, persönlich war auch niemand anwesend als ich hingegangen bin, aber zumindest wurde auf meine E-Mail Anfrage geantwortet. Am PIA behandeln die kein ADHS sondern stellen nur Diagnosen.

    Gemeinschaftspraxis am Kapuzinerkarree -> Telefonisch nicht erreichbar, also ging ich hin. Das letzte Mal das ich da war war vor fast 3 Jahren. Der Arzt bei dem ich früher war arbeitet da nicht mehr, also bin ich kein Patient mehr. Und für Neupatienten gibt es keine Termine, weil die Praxis bald umzieht.

    Praxis Dr. Saltik (Alsdorf) -> Haben schnell auf meine Email geantwortet: Kompletter Aufnahmestopp für Neupatienten

    ❔❌ Dr. Vohn (Würselen) -> Noch keine Antwort auf meine Email. Hab den Namen auf Reddit gefunden, und erst nach dem schreiben der Email weitergelesen - anscheinend verschreibt er nicht gern Medis sondern setzt auf Neurofeedback als Therapie. Wird also wahrscheinlich nichts.

    Praxis Wiebusch/ Ludwig-Meier (Laurensberg) -> Keine Kapazitäten frei, wenn man im Januar nochmal anruft könnte man vielleicht einen Termin für Februar bekommen

    Praxis Theilig/Diederichs -> Keine Kapazitäten frei, frag nächstes Jahr erneut

    Anpra -> Sind Psychotherapeuten, nicht Psychiater

    ❔❌ Frau Dr. med. Beraat Mersuh-Böcker -> Beste Warteschleifenmusik die ich je gehört habe, aber niemand geht dran.

    Dipl.-Psych. Christoph Orthner -> "Nein, wir sind sowieso voll. Und dieses Ritalin darf auch nicht jeder verschreiben, da müssen Sie sich drüber informieren"

    Praxis Hanoldt/ Balzer (Stolberg) -> Termin Anfang Februar bekommen!!

    Praxis Volker Welge/ Dr. Hui Yan (Stolberg) -> keine Kapazitäten

    Hans Moll (Stolberg) -> wird morgen angerufen, könnte aber sein dass er schon seit 2 Jahren verstorben ist

    Hans-Walter Drücke (Stolberg) -> wird morgen angerufen

    NPP-Wuerselen -> Absage wegen fehlender Kapazitäten, aber recht hilfreich Antwort-Mail die erklärt wie man über die 116117 und über den Hausarzt Dringlichkeitstermine bekommen kann

    Ich update die Liste wenn ich mehr Praxen angeklingelt hab. Eine Addressliste hab ich bei Adxs.org auch schon angefordert, die ist aber noch auf dem Weg

    How would you recommend I create a company web page?
  • I'd say consider playing around with the React-App template on glitch.com! I'm biased because I do React for my main job, but it is pretty easy to use and if you grab a library like MaterialUI you get some really pretty looking components without having to do any HTML/CSS yourself

  • What seemingly random thing do you vehemently hate?
  • the way yoga instructors speak, for some reason. I don't hate Yoga itself, just that fake calm voice makes me pretty mad. I could relax much better if the instructor just shouted like a drill sergeant all the time

    How much money would someone have to pay you to sleep in a scratchy wool sweater for the rest of your life?

    You can take the sweater off when you're not sleeping, but it has to be on at night no matter the temperature.

    I think I would demand like 200k, just for the discomfort from the scratchiness. I already sleep with a winter blanket all year round so I wouldn't mind how warm it would get.

    She's dressing up as a ghost tonight I guess 👻

    (by that I mean she's very much in blue rn) !

    I only messed with her for a second as I had to take her out to moisten the moss in her warm hide. Gotta get that clean shed haha

    Got called out big time today

    I'm getting tested in a bit over two weeks and today was the pre-exam via video call.

    The assistant dude that did the interview asked how fiddly/hyperactive I see myself as, and I was like "eh, a bit but not that far above average" Apparently I had been rotating back and forth in my desk chair for the entirety of the preceding 10 mins, which he did point out :|

    Apparently it's also not called "Girl math", but "Impulsive over-spending". SMH my head

    On an upside though, he also owns reptiles and was happy to indulge an unreasonable amount of questions about his chameleon!!

    Chunky crochet scarf that I made for my husband

    He is really into Lego Rock Raiders so I wanted to make something that kinda references it, but is still subtle enough to wear to work :D

    !

    This was my first time steam blocking Acrylic Yarn, it makes such a difference!!! The finished scarf got super soft and flowy, none of that creaky stiff crochet feeling left haha

    Someone's obsessed with the plant shelf

    It's been getting colder around here, so I'm not super comfortable with letting Revy roam around on the cold floor anymore. Instead, I let her hang out on my plant shelf yesterday while spot-cleaning. Because of the grow-lights, the floors of the shelves get up to 40°C in the center - which is very much on the upper end of acceptable basking surface temps, but I'm okay with allowing it for 10-20mins.

    And man does she seem into it! She curled up in a cozy spot after exploring the shelf, and when I put her on her perch to go back into her enclosure, she instead scooted right back to the plant shelf instead. I had to actually put her back straight into her enclosure after that, which I don't enjoy doing because it does take away agency, but I had places to be and couldn't leave her on the shelf unsupervised 🥲

    In the evening, she was very adamant about being let out, and when I did she crawled right back to the plant shelf and from there to the floor. I kept putting her on her "go back home" perch and she kept insisting on going to the shelf instead, so again I had to put her back straight into the enclosure when I needed to head to sleep.. Revy spent the rest of the night sulking in front of the door lol

    Trying out the Clip Studio Tablet Port

    It's pretty good so far! A bit fiddly to get something like my go-to brushes from the PC version set up, but overall the port is very faithful to the original :D
