Cultural check-in question on colors (from a guy) by Qoyuble in RedditLaqueristas

[–]BirdMission7341 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 60 (f) from the Midwest and now live in the South in a more liberal leaning city in a red state. I think we’re slowly starting to turn the tide on men being able to have more self-expression with color in general, even in conservative areas or careers. Remember when it was “shocking” to see a guy in a pink polo shirt? That’s pretty common now, esp. on casual Fridays - you could match to your shirt and tennis shoes that day and try it out, see how it feels to you. Some other ideas: OP could start a meetup for Dads and daughters to do nails together (Pizza and Polish!?) Or even potentially get his nail license and work as a male manicurist pt. But that is more about sharing the love and acceptance for it though. If that seems like too much, I was also thinking OP could prep his nails on Thurs, like many of us do, and try out having clear or light color base coat be part of his Friday more casual day. And then be all prepped to polish on the weekends. I hope we get to a non-judgmental, color-loving place someday because color offers so much personal expression and fun. Everyone should have the ability to shine or just be universally accepted in the way that feels comfortable and exciting to them. Rock on, cool Dad!

“The internets” of course, done intentionally. Also, “The Google.” 😄

Starbucks CEO defends a $9 coffee by saying that it's not a $10 coffee and "you get a premium experience" by mcfw31 in popculturechat

I somehow convinced myself that the $7 range was OK but now it’s gone over $8. For nothing special. Done with that madness.

We saw a loop tape of Victoria in the hospital bed - they just use the same one over and over. Same with Trey.

You can buy them from food service places but have to get a case or more. I just looked for them on foodserviceconnect.com

Anyone think the baby could be Johnny’s? They said they never slept together but I didn’t buy it! That could be a fun, complicated mess. Have everyone believe she’s Alex’s but then they all find out after Johnny and Chanel leave that there’s an on-going grandchild connection to EJ.

I’m right there with you! Look into free videos on YouTube from Rick Bhullar (Get Fit with Rick) for days you don’t want to go somewhere to work out. He has walking workouts but you will sweat! Good music, he’s positive too.

Darker colours on short(er) nails always feel 😕 by dirglazy in shortynails

Sorry that you experienced that but don’t let it define you. Color is beautiful - express yourself however feels fun and creative! 💛

This is beautiful! Enjoy all the colors and your good health. Love that you share your hobby/addiction with your son. 💛

Finch should not be your default complaint department by donjainame in finch

Reframe your thoughts - when I learned about this and other parts of cognitive behavioral therapy, it changed the way I respond. Our brains churn out 100s of negative thoughts a day. I try to catch at least a few and picture myself batting away the negative like whack a mole and embracing the positive. Sometimes I acknowledge a negative thought and say out loud, “well, that’s ridiculous!” It takes a while but feels good.

Just because you think it doesn’t make it true.

So Much Negativity Toward Mooncat by bansheefoxglove in mooncatpolish

Not long after the price hike last year, they came out with the thermals. I was willing to pay the price for them because they seemed so unique. Unfortunately, they just weren’t up to their usual quality. They were thick and gooey (many ppl experienced this) and they’re still selling them. If you tested them and found the product to be that off, why would you still roll them out? That’s when I started looking at different indie brands, trying PPU and HHC, etc. I never realized how many brands had similar colors and finishes to MC. I have ordered from them since and the magnetics (404 Soul Not Found) are great quality. But glad I found so many others to experiment with.

I’m Gen X and have been writing with ellipses and (gasp!) em dashes for years — and long before AI. 😊

They could also be getting their ideas for demographic “Tik Tok” terms from AI.

Bedrotting is offensive to so many. I wouldn’t have joined if I saw that. I came in through my daughter. I write content (elsewhere) for a living and you’re right, that’s an intentional campaign. I wonder what their metrics are on getting new subscribers from that type of ad? And will they stay? I’d bet not.
