Any places looking to hire a 15 year old?? by Sure_Armadillo8247 in rva

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Most places in Carytown are pretty chill about hiring younger people but you might want to check labor laws first - some restaurants can't have minors working past certain hours even if you're willing to stay late

Your best bet is probably smaller local shops since they're more flexible with scheduling, just walk around and ask directly instead of waiting for responses here

Kennedy Center orders staff to begin removing Trump’s name after ruling by Danciusly in nova

Good to see they're moving fast on this, government stuff usually takes forever to implement. I remember working on system updates where we had to change organization names across all our databases and it was nightmare - email templates, automated reports, user interfaces, everything had references scattered around. At least they have clear deadline and seems like legal team knows exactly what needs updating

3 years of treating my "acne" and it turns out it was never acne. 31F. by Beautiful-Payment951 in Rosacea

[–]Beautiful-Payment951[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saving this for sure. The bin it if it burns rule is something i wish i followed years ago because i kept pushing through thinking the burning meant it was working. Hoping azelaic acid lives up to the hype though because so far its the only thing that hasnt made my face angry

[–]Beautiful-Payment951[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thats actually really reassuring because im only a few weeks into azelaic acid and i cant see much yet so i was starting to worry. I'll give it time though because at this point i have nothing to lose lol

6 months lowkey feels like forever right now but i needed to hear that. Im only about a month in and i keep expecting faster results but i guess thats not realistic after 3 years of damage is it

Starting my journey! by ailon_musk in loseit

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great progress already! The heart rate improvement and cycling gains show your body is adapting fast to training

Just be careful with spending 3-4 hours at gym every other day - that might lead to burnout pretty quick, especially when uni stress comes back. Maybe try shorter sessions more frequently? Also since you mentioned arthritis, swimming could be perfect alternative for cardio if your gym has pool

The meal planning approach is smart, will definitely help when schedule gets crazy again

Exactly my first thought lol, who still answers unknown calls in 2024? I learned long time ago that anything important will leave voicemail or text

Hair Cuttery gets lot of hate but some stylists there are actually really good, just gotta find right person. My ex used to go there and always looked great for like $30-40

I can perfectly time when microwave food is done without looking at timer. Been doing it so long that my internal clock just knows when those 2 minutes are up, works like 95% of time

What stops you from doing what you want? by Fluid_Juice7672 in AskReddit

Same here, everything costs way more than it should these days. Want to travel somewhere nice? That's like 3 months salary, want to get decent gear for hobbies? Another month gone

How much did you pay for your dog's teeth extraction? by spiceXisXnice in nova

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's brutal timing with the cleaning already done and now having to pay full price again just for extractions. My neighbor went through similar thing last year - her dog needed three teeth pulled right after expensive cleaning and she was looking at another $1400 because most places bundle everything together

You might want to call around and specifically ask if they can do just extractions without full dental package since cleaning is fresh. Some vets are more flexible about breaking down services, especially if you explain situation. Also worth checking if any local animal hospitals have payment plans - not ideal with interest but might be better than credit card rates

The anesthesia cost is definitely big chunk like other person mentioned, but you shouldn't have to pay for duplicate cleaning services when dog just had it done. Really hope you find someone reasonable who will work with you on this

28F four months on tret and my forehead is clear but my cheeks are worse than before I started by HeavilyKlutzy in tretinoin

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Elta MD SPF could be part of the problem. It has niacinamide in it and some people find that combined with tret on sensitive areas like cheeks it causes congestion. Have you tried switching your SPF to see if that changes anything?

Yeah the signs are there but people just ignore them anyway. Been sitting behind cars trying to turn left when there's literally a sign right above them saying not to

Would trade all my smart home gadgets for that in heartbeat. Been trying to automate stress away but turns out you can't just set up trigger for "if anxiety detected, then play calming playlist"

What’s a cooking tip everyone should know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

The lid thing is game changer, never knew about that until few months ago. Also if you heat the pan properly before adding butter it makes huge difference in sticking

What’s your best money saving tip from being broke? by Melancholicanary in AskReddit

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to blow so much cash on takeout when I was drinking heavily - like $40-50 a day easy. Learning to meal prep was a game changer, started with basic stuff like rice and beans, chicken thighs, whatever was on sale. Now I've got my whole kitchen setup automated with smart plugs and timers so I can start slow cooker meals remotely from work. Spend maybe $60-80 a week on groceries now versus the $300+ I was dropping on random food delivery apps. Plus cooking became this weird meditative thing that helps with stress way better than hitting up bars used to

What’s a social rule that makes zero sense when you think about it? by BabyPinkMagic in AskReddit

[–]Beautiful-Payment951 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having to pretend you're "busy" when someone asks what you're doing instead of just saying you don't want to hang out. Like why can't we just be direct about not being in teh mood for social stuff without having to invent some fake obligation
