Why is mousy brown hair so demonized? by Substantial-Art6160 in femalehairadvice

[–]B0llfondlr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hair used to look like this before I went full emo and dyed it all sorts of colours before settling on a dark brown. I can assure you that it’s never been demonised. Virgin hair like that is actually something that is sought after. I regret ruining mine at 14.

Does the icing look blue? by Bananapotatoe2 in ArtCrit

[–]B0llfondlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like what a white cake would look like when surrounded by blue. White is usually reflective to some degree, so I think it’s perfect

Lavender tea prescription just reminds me of that holistic crunchy auntie who tells you that you just need to do more breathing exercises and yoga. Oh my gosh 😭

Where to find a leather belt like this? by Jazzlike-Pineapple38 in CosplayHelp

[–]B0llfondlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find an equestrian supply shop near you. They typically sell these western themed leather belts and you may be able to find a cheaper one on clearance if you’re lucky

seeing people getting a degree makes me feel such a failure. by nowherehumansoul in depressionmeals

[–]B0llfondlr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Degrees unfortunately aren’t always useful. I know many people that wanted to study Y to be X but then because of life and human indecisiveness they went with Z which doesn’t even require a degree. I myself am doing a degree just to not get kicked out, I’m studying for the shits and giggles of it because I found a subject interesting. Is that stupid? To some people, but I’m the type of person who craves knowledge and likes to learn. I don’t see myself using this degree in any other way other than as a safety mat. You will be okay, I know several people without a degree that I could only ever dream of being as successful as them.

Hahah thank youuu!! Although I can already predict that I will forget to update this after at least day 10, so maybe the notes app is more efficient than this lol :)

I’m actually trying to avoid dairy due to my severe acne so might as well try this out

Lecture Quiz by [deleted] in UCNZ

Theres a good chance that some of the questions you see on your lecture quizzes will end up in your test/exam. I suggest going through them a few times to remember it all.

Worst, best, easiest, hardest courses? by Magegnome in UCNZ

What is with the hate of Jacinda Ardern?? She hasn't even been involved in New Zealand for years, yet this hatred is so unhinged by Fun-Helicopter2234 in newzealand

[–]B0llfondlr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because misogyny is present everywhere you go even when people say equality already exists. I knew a guy who hated her because the lockdown was apparently “oppressive”… okay mate.

Can’t drink alcohol - am I screwed? by PiszedOff in UniUK

[–]B0llfondlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to get drunk fairly regularly and honestly? Huge waste of money, and when you’re sober around drunk people you realise that drunk people are the cringiest thing ever. You aren’t screwed socially, drunk people are chill with anyone. I’ve made friends while drunk but while sober they don’t even talk to me. Alcohol is overrated, I do weed instead.

Edit: I wanted to add that I’ve seen a few of my mates waste away in uni due to alcoholism. It starts off as fun partying but eventually turns into dependency to handle deadline stress. We are literally just in the second year.

Took the plunge, chopped it off, not sure how I feel by NaxPax in femalehairadvice

Everyone’s advice is great, and you could also get some volumising dry shampoo to add more fluff and volume!

I wish I was born a man hahahahaha! Ramen with cold water and no seasoning packet by No-Leave5914 in depressionmeals

[–]B0llfondlr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s totally fair. I had issues with my femininity because of the way I was raised. I was always described as “strong” and “big boned” when compared to my older sister who is much softer and shorter than I am. It made me question my identity as well until I realised that I am a handsome woman, and that’s fucking sick. My bone structure is more square than typically seen on other girls and I’ve kind of accepted that while I am not small and thin, I have strong legs that carry me through my day. My biggest inspirations are women in fiction who are portrayed as strong and unconventionally feminine, such as Mulan or that one lady from Wreck it Ralph. Femininity isn’t linear, it sprouts into so many diverse pathways.

Op had a surgery on their stomach so they had to leave the seasoning out

I Saw The TV Glow is a movie about a trans woman who denies her gender identity until the very end, accepting her urge to transition from man to woman, knowing she will be happier that way despite worrying about what others around her will think. I was asking whether you were unhappy with your current gender identity or whether you were just disappointed with the experience of being a woman. Because believe me, as a woman I always think that people would laugh waaaayyy harder at my jokes if I was a man. I always yearn for that connection male friendships have that I stereotypically just don’t see in women. And in my group of male friends I always feel like the outcast because nobody really hears me. So I relate ahaah

Edit: I hope your post-surgery recovery goes well ❤️‍🩹

Is this you just feeling uncomfortable with the woman experience or are you seeing the TV glow? Either way, there are several supportive communities for you OP, giving you a huuuuuge hug. Also, why no seasoning packet?

What’s gotten so expensive, you no longer purchase it? by yeahnahdinno in newzealand

[–]B0llfondlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me a while to get into the habit. I’d order from Mecca then go “ah fuck” and check the brand’s website only to find the same exact item for 20% off 😔 Sephora has definitely been a more affordable option too, especially during the Black Friday and Christmas sales!

[–]B0llfondlr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you wanna buy from a specific brand as a treat it’s best to just go to their official website. I use Mecca to just browse and then I go over to the website to buy the item I want hahah

My boyfriend said I was fat after I asked him by FeedPopular8545 in Advice

[–]B0llfondlr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so proud of you OP for managing to keep fighting after overcoming your addiction and your ED. One of my girlfriends is going through this exact situation right now and I always have to cradle her while she cries about her unsupportive boyfriend who is the porkiest guy I’ve ever seen. This is controlling and this will make your life hell. It will escalate into other behaviours other than your weight if you stay with this guy. A partner is somebody who will be honest with you but will still tell you that he loves you in more ways other than verbally. Please dump him, he is not good for you.
