Oh TS, I'm not exactly an oil painting, but am no longer afraid of the selfie camera.@Universal I hope I am very beautiful in your headI treated my body like complete trash until I started going to the gym three years ago and the only thing I use on my face is soap and water so it is quite unfair.
@heretoreaditall2019 it turns out you can't use the app without uploading a photo. It actually told me to aim for six photos. Six! Look at this nonsense. Smiling? I don't smile, I'm miserable! Be yourself? I'm trying to attract people not scare them off. When I opened up my camera app it was on the front facing camera, I saw myself at that angle and was like nope, absolutely not

On Match you dont have to upload 6. Last year I uploaded one of me in sunglasses but smiling at first as I wanted to have a look around the site and see other people profiles before I committed to an actual photo of me. For some reason a selfie in the car does me some favours (might be the natural light) so try that. In my head you are strong, confident and beautiful so channel that when you take the pic!@Universal I hope I am very beautiful in your headI treated my body like complete trash until I started going to the gym three years ago and the only thing I use on my face is soap and water so it is quite unfair.

The front facing camera is horrific to us all, not a single soul will just open that and take SIX impromptu pics like they’re testing for Mario Testino. Sounds ridiculous but could we take learnings from Jack’s cartoon era and put some artsy cool filters on like colours and lights etc and just go undercover until you feel confident enough to ~reveal~@Universal I hope I am very beautiful in your headI treated my body like complete trash until I started going to the gym three years ago and the only thing I use on my face is soap and water so it is quite unfair.

Sadly Ms V. Squiggle can't remember her date of birth, so isn't eligible to be a....oh, hang on, they're not wild sticklers for accuracy on that, are they??Wow sheep society is sooooo complicated!
If your limited company doesn’t have a director called Ms V. Squiggle I don’twant to know you
so interesting, I thought pigs were supposed to be the most intelligent of livestock animals, but sheep sound even more intelligent!Sadly Ms V. Squiggle can't remember her date of birth, so isn't eligible to be a....oh, hang on, they're not wild sticklers for accuracy on that, are they??Sheep are amazing in their ability to (a) sort themselves out into their own flocks when they're all mixed together and (b) recognising their shepherds. Most of the flocks on our hill will ignore humans who they don't recognise and move away if the human goes towards them, but come towards the one(s) they do. Apart from my lot, who are far too friendly and therefore end up getting brought back in with other flocks because April's logic goes something like 'There is a human collecting sheep. When my human comes up to see me she has food. Therefore that human must have food because his sheep are going to him. I am going to get the food,' and then she takes about half the rest with her. I'm very used to getting a message saying 'Your sheep are in the fanks' and having to go down with a bucket to take them back out!
Someone posted this link on another thread, it really work.I'm no expert on selfies, but holding the camera slightly above you so you're looking up at it gives a much more flattering angle, when I open my front camera and it's low down, I look like that Mama June person from the Honey Boo Boo programs
God those lot always accuse us of invading them....Right, which one of you is on the parenting website posting about sex dreams involving Matt Tebbutt and his forearms? Can't link for obvious reasons...
Sorry I’ve not replied my love I’ve been ~mulling it over~ and always worry that speaking about careers veers on m*msnet braggery, I say this after commenting on another thread telling someone not to volunteer herself into a prenup and to seek legal advice on her undivorced baby daddy’s financial position loool. Anyway:Just popping in to say thanks to @heretoreaditall2019 for the Python-related recommendations and I'm going to get cracking on that this weekend. Also been looking at the Google Tech Support certification but I'm constantly swinging between wanting a career and sticking to my current job cos I can do what I want.
Celebrating today because the place I work has closed for maintenance and I was worrying about pay (zero hours but de facto full time contract due to length of employment, given my experience of my industry as a whole I was expecting to have to call the union) but the big boss appeared, told me to leave when the workmen do, and I'll be paid til I usually finish at 8pm. It's lovely when everything works out and I've been home since about 12.
Random sentience generator, dear heart. He must never look into one of those mirrors for that very reason.Fun fact (or maybe not): Slopbot was potentially going to be a Python chatbot until I realised that was far too complicated and it would be easier (for me, knowing nothing about coding other than some now obsolete HTML) to make him a random sentence generator in JavaScript. Sorry if that's ruined the mystique. He may genuinely be psychic though, his accuracy is much like an egg - otherwise inexplicable.
