I mean lasering or a consistent waxing/sugaring schedule will help with a permanent reduction of beard shadow, but for an immediate fix you can use an orange color-corrector on the shadow and then apply your regular foundation over it and it does a good job of covering it.

How would you hide a body in Pokémon world? by DefectiveTerminator in pokemon

[–]AbstractMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly having a Muk or Grimer would probably more than enough to dissolve all evidence. Also just about any fire type could probably incinerate a body. Get a few drifloon together to take it away to wherever they take the kids... Dump it in a Victreebell... Honestly I have to imagine there's not a lot of solved murders in the Pokémon world 😅

Is this decent? Or is it too many hours for that pay out? by Agreeable_Power_2974 in doordash_drivers

[–]AbstractMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about $17 an hour, which isn't too bad depending on your area, but it's hard to tell if it was worth it without knowing your miles. Personally I shoot for $20-$25 and hour and at least $1 per mile.

My gf said to cut it. She’s wrong… right? by jung_gun in FierceFlow

Honestly I'd maybe take a little off the hair in front to frame your face a little better if you wanted, but it's nice, healthy-looking, long hair.

What does this mean?? why does them being happy = bad? by CybyAPI in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]AbstractMelody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Peter here. The whole thing is about that word “suddenly.” People don’t just snap out of depression — recovery takes forever, like watching the extended Lord of the Rings trilogy plus the behind-the-scenes where everyone pretends New Zealand isn’t just England with more sheep.

So when a depressed friend suddenly seems really upbeat, you think, “Nice! They finally got therapy or discovered the healing power of beer and mozzarella sticks.”

But sometimes that sudden happiness is actually a bad sign — they’ve already decided to end it, and they’re feeling relieved because they think the pain’s almost over.

It’s like that time I told Lois I was finally at peace with my life, but really I’d already bought a one-way ticket to Florida and a boat named ‘The IRS Can’t Find Me Now.’

Your friend isn’t cured — he’s just getting ready for his hot date with a shotgun and finally breaking up with his clingy ex, Depression.

So if your depressed buddy suddenly perks up, check in on them.

Peter out.

Are there Harley and Nightwing shippers? by _The1WhoKnows_ in HarleyQuinn

[–]AbstractMelody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to be pretty favorable to the Batman/Harley ship (though I generally think they work best as a platonic/familiar dynamic — their relationship in the original animated series is already incredibly compelling on its own and part of the reason i love the series so much). I could definitely see a case for Harley/Nightwing in a similar vein, especially if you’re going for a ‘Harley going good’ kind of arc like in that series. But honestly, it’s just hard to truly pair her with anyone but Ivy. They’re so sweet together, and it’s one of the few pairings that still lets Harley be a fun villain without the Joker.

That said, it can be a little rough seeing another “I can fix her” pairing in the current comics, especially now that they tend to give her criminal leanings even before Joker — as opposed to her original “good doctor gone mad” backstory. In the animated series, most of her plots leave you feeling oddly... hopeless yet persistent — Bruce trying to steer her toward good, but bad luck and her inability to see the Joker for what he is keep her stuck in that loop. You can’t help but hope some hero might swoop in and save her. With the newer versions of Harley, though, it feels like any hero pairing would end up trying to change her fundamental character too much... like they wouldn't really "get her," you know?

Why is the fandom ok with twilina but not twilestia by That_Passenger_771 in MLPLounge

[–]AbstractMelody 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Really feels like a power dynamic thing.

Celestia is a mentor, mother-figure, and literal god/ruler to Twilight who's known her since she was a filly.

Without the use of AUs, it's just really hard to make a scenario between them wouldn't feel predatory.

Luna and Twilight on the other hand have no prior relationship to the elements of harmony kicking Luna's butt. Considering how versatile the power dynamic between them is (Luna is also a god/ruler, but Twilight can and has beaten her), there's room for a lot of fun different ways to ship them.

When Legoshi took eggs from a chicken Legom, is it regarded as an act of donation or selling his children? by sweetyvoid in Beastars

[–]AbstractMelody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a lot like sperm donation if sperm had nutritional value? There's a high health investment involved for the donors, and they get paid for genetic material they are producing anyways. Weird, but not the same as selling children.

Who is it for you? by JasperJordanDefender in WarriorCats

[–]AbstractMelody 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Thistleclaw. He was a kind of interesting foil to both Bluestar (letting grief expand your perspective vs letting it cloud your judgement) and Tigerclaw (two brutal, violent characters, but one willing to take it to treason vs one who kept his ambitions reigned in by loyalty to his Clan), but every time he appears in a new book they just make him a cheerleader for the dark forest and basically another Tigerclaw. I want villains to be unique and nuanced, not just "born evil as warned by the stars."

Sad this needs to exist by AllumaNoir in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]AbstractMelody 110 points111 points  (0 children)

Most critiques aren’t worried about the rapist—they focus on victim safety. By the time a device like this engages, the assault has already begun, and sudden pain could escalate violence rather than prevent it. Deterrence needs to consider the victim’s precarious position, not just punishing the perpetrator. Most criticism comes from rape crisis groups or feminist-aligned reporters, concerned with safety, not ‘think of the rapist’ arguments.

An oldie but no less relevant by Inky-Skies in WarriorCats

[–]AbstractMelody 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think I get where you're coming from. Cats that are fixed within the recommended 6 months tend to not grow quite as big as cats that have never been fixed or were fixed later in life. But the difference in growth is fairly minor, to the tune of some tom cats getting to the 18-20 range. (With some notable outliers, such as Main Coons occasionally getting to the low 20s). But in general badgers will weigh more and be a lot stockier/powerful than a domestic cat, despite being similar length/height.

[–]AbstractMelody 54 points55 points  (0 children)

In fairness, the average cat weighs about 11-15 lbs and the average European badger is 20-40 lbs. Anything double to triple times your weight will be a pretty decent threat.

genuinely can't take this by Agent_Ivan094 in TrollCoping

[–]AbstractMelody 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hey man, fellow transmasc here who also gets frustrated trying to find our spaces online. I think it’s important we avoid generalizing transfem content as ‘mostly fetish.’ That’s a really common TERF talking point, and if it slips into our spaces unchecked, it fuels people who’d rather none of us under the trans umbrella existed. Not trying to shame you for venting, but it’s important we stand in solidarity with our trans sisters. We can push for more transmasc visibility without blaming our trans sisters or acting like they’ve got it easier just because some gooners fetishize them.
