OK, this is a really random question.

I want to resize some images. I want to make them bigger, not smaller. I found some nice avatars, but they're 80x80 (I think) and I want something around 150-180px.

I can't find a site that doesn't ruin the image quality upon resizing, though. Any suggestions? ☺
Download GIMP and do a perfect resize? Tbh the image quality won't be that amazing, but more or less tolerable.
With an avatar already the size of 80 x 80 resizing it to be bigger whatever the method will cause the image to be more blurry and lose quality.
Finding a site to do it for you won't help either, it's better to do something like this on photoshop or GIMP and do it yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had Photoshop before, but I don't really know how to use it :pink_tongue:

I found this:



and want to remove the boarder but keep the GIF's integrity. Does anyone know how to do this?

I can't find a lot of good images of Belldandy online (that work for avatars), and this one is super nice, but I can't use it as it is :pink_frown:

In basic turns of photoshop, you'd have to open the file on photoshop, make sure you can see the frames on photoshop's timeline and crop all the border out of all the frames. It's easier to do than explain, but that's just me.

Just going to leave this for future, but if you have anymore art, graphics etc related problems you'd best post it in the Art & Design section, and for small things/ questions like this the DCC of that section.

Feel it is more appropriate to post art related things there because more of the artists and designers in the forum can see this and help you, because aside from me there are other very awesome and talented artists and designers that know their stuff.

Ah, OK! I'll have to try this out. I'll use the Graphic Design forum from now on :pink_nod:

My boyfriend has PS CS5 or something on his laptop, so I'll see if I can fiddle with it. Not sure why someone would purposefully put those awful borders on that GIF :pink_cry: Oh well.

Thanks :pink_blush:

I'll be blunt. She's manipulative and likes to keep her options open because she craves the attention and doesn't know what she wants.

He has to live with the fact that he's going to continue being played if he continues to keep contact with her. He needs to grow up and see the situation realistically. He also needs to give himself more self respect to take himself out of that nasty situation. He needs to realize that she will just continue doing this to others and to him if she were in a relationship with him. It's not a healthy relationship but he's also, in a sense, using her because he wants that intimacy, too. Again, he needs to grow up.

You need to tell him how you feel about him. Honestly.

And:
I know she cares about him too since she cooks and bakes for him sometimes
Lolno. She doesn't care about him. Someone who cares about someone else would have their best interest at heart and right now she doesn't give a muk about anyone but herself.


In the end it's his decision on what he wants to do, but if he stays in contact with this girl, he's just going to get himself into trouble. Worst case scenario probably get completely messed up in the head from her and possibly catch an STI. You can let him know what you think, but in the end you can't really stop it, either. You just have to say what you need to say and let him figure it out and make his own decisions from it. You're both adults now and you can't be expected to be his mother.

And
I know she means a lot to him because already early on she told him his secrets and he's told her his
Whoop de muk. I tell everyone here that I used to have depression and anxiety. I tell people here I suffer from constipation from time to time. I tell people here I have a birthmark on my ass. What other secrets do you want to know? Just because I share some personal stuff doesn't mean I mean a lot to everyone on here. Again, he needs to grow up and you both need to stop believing what this chick is telling you.

Be more skeptical, be more guarded, be more distanced- she's obviously a negative influence and I see nothing positive coming from knowing her.


I'd also let him know he's being cheated on. He'll be in a better place for it IMO.

Returning to my previous issue, I'm now having an online relationship with one of them, who was interested in having a boyfriend herself, but her sister, who is also currently on an online relationship with another man, was trying to warn me to not be with her, because according to her, she's playing with me, just like with previous men before me, although I was fully aware that both slept with numerous men in the past. I asked her what should I do, and she told me to leave her, and when I told her about the advice a PC user gave me, she asked, "And what do you think?" And I replied, "That I don't know who I should trust anymore." Then she said, "Yourself?" Of course, what I said also implies trusting her, because one of my friends from France, who is also a friend of my girlfriend's sister, told me he was once in a relationship with the sister for several months, as her boyfriend, but he never really heard or saw her (he went to her residence, which is Ukraine, and couldn't find her). And every time he traced her IP, it comes back to France, and her excuse of using a proxy is ridiculous to him, because according to him, it wouldn't be always to the same location in France and the IP would be registered as a proxy. He asked a friend she had for a few years prior, and he told him the same thing. He too was her boyfriend for a few years, never saw her in a live cam, followed by same IP problem. I bought myself a webcam, since my gf told me she also owns a webcam and used it before, and he advised me to have her accept my request for a webcam chat to see if her sister is telling the truth or not (he thinks two women could be the same individual, explaining why the sister never uses a webcam nor a mic). I've asked some of my friends on Skype for advice, but they couldn't find any answers, only suggestions. I don't know who I should trust after hearing both sides of the story, because I fear if I proceed to chat with my girlfriend, then her sister won't be my friend anymore, but I don't know she's also holding any secrets of her own. What should I do?

If you're making such a distinction between "answers" and "suggestions", then I'll say that what you're looking for here is tantamount to having someone else tell you what to do. People have been telling you the various consequences that would follow your alternatives atm (to skype call or not to skype call). You should be weighing these consequences yourself, for you are the one going through the situation and understand your own needs and desires the best. Nobody should be deciding upon your behalf.

Obviously no one here is going to encourage suicidal behaviour, so I do hope that's not what you're looking for. But in my experience with mental health, few people with our problems (our! You're not alone) actively want others to encourage their suicide, they just don't know what else to say.

Clearly you're in a tough situation. You're beyond drained and you can't find a way out of whatever you're going through. I get it - I feel like this extremely often, it's an awful state of mind and no one blames you for wanting to ease your pain in the one way you seem to control. While the laws of this thread state that I can't give you any professional advice, I really don't mind talking to you privately and hopefully using my experience to help in any way I can. Aside from that, I really must insist that you see your doctor and go from there. They'll be able to refer you to mental health professionals who can give you the support you need on a professional level.

If I recall correctly, you've mentioned you are transgender in various posts? If your situation anything related to that, your doctor is required to give you various connections to anyone who can specialise in your situation. Or at least refer you to someone who can point you in the direction of someone who can. At least that's how it works in New Zealand. Once again, I can also talk to you on a personal level about dealing with transgender stuff if that is the issue.

Just do your best to make it through the next hour, through the next sleep, through the next breakfast, the next day, etc. Drag yourself through the concrete to the doctor if that's what it takes. While suicide may seem like the better way out, it's an empty path.

I just can't do anything. I am crying right now and home alone, and I cut up my arm, again. I just want this to all stop. No one seems to take me serious at home. They think my whole transgender being is a joke and make fun of it and question everything about it. My therapist knows I am trans but he doesn't really want to go into any of that until I am "happy with myself" which I can't ever be.

Change your therapist, if that is an option. They are required to work with you at the level that you desire and if they are holding you back without moving in any other direction, which is harming you, then they are essentially committing malpractice and you should not stay with them any longer. Exhaust your options in order to find the professional that is right for you.

If you are really thinking about this, please give a call to the National Suicide Prevention Hotline. 1 (800) 273-8255. I don't mean to sound like an advertisement, but this is not something that should be taken lightly, especially on a forum.

Please, use that phone number Tsutarja posted and seek professional advice. This is a link to an LGBT lifeline if you need it as well. I can't offer professional advice, but I want to at least give you my support...I don't know you well, but I'm here for you regardless and seeing that post breaks my heart. There are so many other options out there for you. And like Harley said, if your professional help is not meeting the standards you need met as a transgendered person, please seek one that will meet those needs and exceed beyond. Stay strong.

Has anything happened in the last three days? Have you made any steps with doctors, mental health, etc?

i need help getting over a broken heart, an old bud of mine abandoned me and will not tlk 2 me anymore... it happened on the 7th btw
Time and busying yourself are the best medicines for the immediate hurt. There isn't a get fixed quick way of dealing with these sorts of things, but they're healthy ways of diverting your attention when you need it. Reflect upon what happened, but don't let it consume your day. Hold out hope for the renewing of whatever you had with them, but only hold it on a loose string. Move on.

Hopefully I can. There are some events in school pulling me back though but I just need to tell my counselor about some bullies and I should be good.

Edit:

So I am getting more depressed and lonely. Why do my closest friends, the one I talk to the most, all have relationships and I don't? What am I doing wrong that no one wants to be happy with me? Seriously, what the actual psyduck. This loneliness is eating me alive and every day I am stuck with hours on end with just me and horrific thoughts.

I don't know what to do, its my fault...

Well my stepdad got a dog a few years back for hunting and since he is allergic, he couldn't really stay inside so he was mostly a outside dog. He is a lab and not well cut, so he was very high energy and ran away a lot, so he has been kept in high fenced areas or more recently on a chain. Today we went shopping, when we got back we found him dead... hanged. He climbed up the slide and I guess fell and the chain was stuck. Its my fault, recently I've been trying to get him to go up there to get some more excercise has I haven't walked him in a while. And sometimes the chain got stuck in a crack, I've been afraid this might happen, but he would never go up there without me. Today he did. I feel so bad. I didn't want him at first, but I got stuck taking care of him, but I really started to like him, I don't want to admit he's really gone. I wanted him to be able to come inside, I wanted a better life for him, this isn't what he deserved. :((

I have an absolute crippling lack of motivation to go to class.

Like when I attend class I participate and get good grades but getting me there is a hassle to the point where I skip a good 3/4 lectures per year. Anything would be appreciated at this point considering attendance now counts for like 15-20% of my grade.

Alright, I need help. And it's a big, big thing for me.

I have issues when it comes down to doing things like schoolwork. I can't do my homework sometimes because I'm too lazy (and maybe because it doesn't matter if you do it or no), I have huge issues to do schoolwork outside school. I can't really find a reason or a way to do it, without pushing myself too hard.

Why I need help with this?, I'm starting uni on a year and a couple of months, I still need to finish this year and another one at school. But I'm sure that killing this bad habit of mine is going to be hard... And I'm actually trying to solve it, without any good results. Sorry if it looks like I care too much about it, but I really hate being so lazy and even when I can fight it sometimes, the laziness kicks back again. And I'm done when that happens. It's a cultural thing from here as well, people is very lazy. But I'm not going to talk about it now.

Thanks for your help and time.
Try to stay away from your PC or the internet for a few hours every day. I know once you get home from school you just want to relax, but if you get too relaxed you'll just end up doing nothing for the remaining of the day. Try doing your homework right after lunch every day, just one or two hours. Knowing that you'd have nothing else to do for the remaining of the day if you finish your work early should be motivating enough.

For me it helps to have a set time to not do anything productive at all, so for example 6 pm, if I haven't actually done any studying until then, I just don't do any. :p

Uni should be different but you should still try and get your school work done too. By then you'll hopefully be more serious about it, plus there are things like gaps in your schedule where you should have enough time to do some work/studying done, and there should be plenty of rooms, maybe a library, where you can do your work after your classes are over before heading home, so you can just go home and relax afterwards.

So basically, set some time periods of the day when you should be doing work, and when you should be being lazy. It's different for everyone, some people are more productive at night. For me it helps to just get everything over with as early as possible so I can have the remainder of the day to myself.

Hey guys! Just a quick little notice to please not call out people in threads here, as there's too much of a chance of it encouraging nothing but a needless flamewar. If you feel there's honestly a problem regarding somebody off-site, then feel free to report them to that site's admins, but calling them out here for any reason here is not something we encourage.

Thank you!

Hey! A bit of a late response. What really helped me when I was in high school was visualising the goal that I wanted to achieve, and it's something that I continue to do now to work through periods of laziness or demotivation. I think in order to be able to combat laziness you need to have a clear reason for doing something - for example, that might be getting into your desired course in university, or making your parents proud, or getting a scholarship, or whatever. For me in high school, it was as simple as wanting to be the top student in my class.

Once you've worked out your reason, you need to be able to actually visualise it. Everyone visualises things in a different way - maybe put photos on your wall of your goal, or phrases and quotes on your wall to keep you going, or write in a diary every night so you can keep track of 1) how you went today and 2) how it's helping you get to your end goal. Think about how it will feel to achieve the goal you want to achieve - it's all about positive thinking.

It's all well and good to think about these things but as you may understand, it's useless without any action. I think the first step is just getting started with something, no matter how small. Set a timer - tell yourself that you're going to devote the next 30 minutes or an hour to studying. Put everything else away, just have your books in front of you. The hardest part is always getting started, so just focus on doing whatever you can to actually get started. Open up the chapter of the book you're studying, or start reading your notes, or whatever. Once you start, you just need to push yourself to keep going, and slowly you'll be able to build momentum - after a tough one minute of studying, the next few minutes might be easier, and soon you'll find (hopefully) that you're on a roll because you're able to build up momentum.

It's definitely easier said than done and like anything, it's difficult and takes time to build up these habits. But if you keep working and visualise your goal and realise that even though what you're doing might not be the most fun thing in the world, if you keep going you'll be able to reach your goal. Building momentum needs to start somewhere after all!

Let me know if you have any questions (:

So this might end up being a case of a blind man leading another blind man so bear with me lmao.

If you truly want to fix this problem, the best way to do this is to "just do it". I know it's a really big cliche but the only way to beat laziness is to do what you need to do. The thing about motivation and whatever is that it's not very reliable. You can be motivated one hour but not motivated the next hour. As soon as you lose that motivation, you fall back into the cycle and go back to doing nothing. So if that's the case, what you need to do is to develop self-discipline (which is a great trait to have anyways). You need to develop the ability to tell yourself, "This is something I need to do.", and then to go and do the said activity.

"But Thoughts how can I go and do something if my problem is not doing something?"

True, this part I don't really have a solid answer for but I do have suggestions and I do have the will to help you. The best way to go about this is to schedule specific blocks of the day to do specific activities as Christos mentioned before. But you have to be intelligent about your scheduling too. Don't just set a block to "study" for four hours and burn yourself out. Schedule in your breaks as well. Yes, they're mandatory, schedule in breaks. Personally I like to study in 3 hour blocks with a set up of 25 minutes studying, 5 minutes off. After 3 hours, I'll force myself to break and chill out for an hour or so. However, when you're working, you're working. Don't make dumbass excuses to log onto the showdown server or to check social media. Do that in your 5 minutes. But remember, you're not a machine so schedule in fun time and time to do nothing as well.

In the beginning its going to be hard to stick to your schedule (especially if you've set yourself an unreasonable schedule). Stay flexible and tweak it so that it's actually reasonable. I also recommend telling someone about your efforts and to get them to hound you to stay on the schedule. Worse comes to worse, message me and I'll get on your case about it.

Last thing I wanna address is that the cultural thing you mentioned in your post is just an excuse. That's it. You define who you are, not your culture or whatever. I'm asian but that doesn't mean anything other than my parents came from a country that wasn't Canada. If you've decided that you will be a productive person, good for you, but this has nothing to do with your culture.
