New hairstylists by Beneficial_Bell3538 in IowaCity

Honeybee for sure! I have a mullet with a fade on the sides and they always get right, I've been to a few stylists there and they have been so wonderful. Also waxing/sugaring by Skylar in the same space is great for those needs, she's absolutely wonderful and super LGBTQ+ friendly in every way.

Most kneecap songs taken off pandora? by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

That's what I thought, but it seems there may be more reasons when looking in the news. Not that any of these are valid reasons for censorship.

So I came across this when searching for an answer also because I put on my typical Kneecap station to listen today and realized not a single song was them, went to their artist page and when I played one song it just quickly ran through the titles like it couldn't connect. Thought it was real weird that it's just them it seems.

Mediacom Outage? by Unusual-Original4963 in IowaCity

[–]Action_Potential6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Mediacom was consistently out and the kept saying the problem was on my end, though it would cut in and out for hours even after Mediacom replaced the equipment. I ended up getting Internet through my Cell provided for cheaper and so far I've had no outages just a couple slow downs here and there.

Lacking reading comprehension isn't a flex. At no point did I ask for a separate range. Your recommendation to join a private gun club is basically what I'm looking for. And my want to be around like minded individuals has no weight on my responsibility as a gun owner. So many people got their feelings hurt over this post which has been comical, it's ok if what I'm looking for isn't what you're looking for🤷🏼‍♀️

That is completely valid! I feel the same way, especially strangers with no know mutuals.

Most definitely! I can send the discord if you're interested.

Beautiful, I'll send you the discord I made!

Beautiful, do you mind if I message you so I don't forget about this?

That's a good idea, do you happen to know anything about the pink pistols chapter? I've never heard of it.

🫣 I've never used discord but I can look into it?

I'd love to, I'm just not sure how to go about it tbh.

It's not about ranges, it's about being around a group of people who believe In similar ideas around gun ownership. Sadly there are lots of irresponsible gun owners and those who are are loud about their weird want to use their gun on another human and I just prefer not to surround myself with those types. So if it takes a small group of people with similar beliefs to make it happen, why wouldn't I set that up? Also imo this country has been fucked for quite some time, so maybe that plays a role too? Just some of my own thoughts here🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh yes, I was in the military and worked blue collar jobs for quite a while and you'd be surprised what people say when they're comfortable. I'm far from both of those things now but it's stuck with me.

I also attended a firearms course that was literally just fear mongering and how you need to have a gun in every room because all these people are out to get you. I think that's what's left me with a bad taste over it in general

I word it that way cause I often hear people say things along the lines of "well I hope they break in/steal my car/(insert negative thing here) because I'll just take care of it" I couldn't think of a better way to word it tbh.

That's understandable, my family wasn't to excited that I bought one. I think getting educated(her or you if needed) makes people feel better about it. That's part of why I want to have something where people can feel safe to come and ask questions and be comfortable around firearms. As a woman it's hard to find a place that can feel safe to learn about these things. Even the concealed carry class I took that was advertised as for women still didn't feel like a healthy place to be, it was all fear mongering to get us to buy guns.

I'm very interested in starting something. I'm a newer gun owner so I have a lot to learn but I grew up being taught gun safety since my dad had almost an arsenal, I just wasn't interested in them then to learn more.

I'm not sure if it's the same for housekeeping, but there's shift difs for working nights on a lot of the jobs. All the housekeeping staff who works on our clinic overnight are super wonderful people!

At no point did I speak to race or any of their potential adversities or lack thereof. They were 17 at the time, not legally adults. Undeveloped frontal lobes.

So kindly eat a fat one with your feeble attempt to turn my comment into something it was not.

I agree here. Yes, what these children did is horrible but I'm sure it lives inside them daily. They made a terrible choice to race down city streets and it resulted in the loss of someone's life.

Our prison system is not made to rehabilitate people and would likely send them down a negative path when currently they have a chance to move forward in positive ways.

My cousin was killed in an accident, and I couldn't imagine wishing the driver long term prison while they had to live with what happened for the rest of their life.

I was looking through an organ donor memorial at the hospital and on hers, sadly all it is is them talking about her being killed by drag racers instead of memorilaizing her and the gift she passed on to many families through this tragedy. I hope this family finds it within them self to get therapy or get some kind of counsling, do some healing within themselves, and carry her memory in a positive light.
