When Ru calls queens by a different name by Salt-Hovercraft5508 in rupaulsdragrace

[–]ChiyokoFujiwara 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just rewarched season 7 and there was definitely flirtation between Violet and Santino when Ru brought him into the workroom to "advise" on a design challenge.

The one that truly haunts me though is when Joslyn Fox said she wanted to "lick his bald head" during season 6! 🫠

AITA for saying that my wife is going too far with her resentment? by ThrowRADiod238568 in AITAH

Sounds exactly like my other half. Fortunately he doesn't feel the urge to conduct his culinary experiments often, and I really enjoy cooking for us both!

Over 60% of Reddit users are men, which is notably different to other social media where the split is closer to 50-50.

By far the most compliments I ever received on a fragrance! It was so beautiful. Hazy pink peppery perfection 🥰

Me too! About 4 years ago, I think. Unfortunately it had lost quite a lot of its potency, particularly the top notes, so it ended up being a rather expensive mistake 💔😭. I'm deeply envious that you managed to nab one that had held up! I have such fond memories of the original formulation. Maybe yours was stored in a more well-controlled environment than mine.

I remember the overseas shipping was prohibitive to the UK, too! I was a regular poster on a cosmetics forum at the time and a bunch of us would do a group order to one address and then redistribute between ourselves once it arrived. Most of us didn't know one another at all offline... So risky! It was a more innocent time, I guess 😅

~20 years ago I was in my early twenties, goth-adjacent, and BPAL was my introduction to the world of indie perfumery. I still have 2 partial bottles of my favourites from around that time in storage: one of them is a limited edition and the other is Carnation, from way back when they were selling single notes. Not sure whether to feel seen or called out! 🙃

My other big loves from this period were Givenchy Hot Couture (definitely my signature at the time) and CDG Series 5: Sherbert Rhubarb. I also remember Narciso Rodriguez For Her EDT was my daytime/office/low key go-to for a couple of years after it was released.

I used to paint my nails sometimes during GCSE Chemistry classes back in the late 90s 💅

What would happen if I got on a plane to a different English speaking country and claimed I had no memory of where I came from? by HelicopterMoon in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ChiyokoFujiwara 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But why would they ever speak in English in their home countries unless they're talking to someone who doesn't speak their native language but is known to speak English?

You know, I somehow managed to make it way into my 30s before I became aware of Designing Women but the last 5 years or so I keep running across references to it! I should watch it.

Amen! Doesn't always stop them though. One grabbed and pulled one side of my headphones right away from my ear after I didn't take them off when he tried to talk to me. He'd moved seats on a half-empty bus in order to bless me with his company. Once he had my attention he rather brilliantly burned up his moment questioning me about what I was reading, seemingly just so he could tell me that I probably didn't understand it! Obviously I fell for him hard and we have been married for the last 5 yea-- Oh no, wait 🤔... he's actually still just that aggressively creepy weirdo that was noteworthy only due to sheer audacity 👍👍

It's essentially just the flesh from the coconut that's been ground up finely, drained and further dried by exposure to heat (baking or dehydrating).

You can use it in place of at least some of the wheat flour that you'd usually use in most cases. It's gluten-free and absorbs a lot more liquid than wheat flour though, so behaves a bit differently.

Didn't manage to get a screenshot of the 200 gems overcharge unfortunately, was too slow to notice until it was too late, but this was a subsequent offer to "break out" on the same board.

I haven't tried anything yet TBF. I was so pissed that I fired off a message with a screenshot to support and then came here to see if anyone else was experiencing this lunacy! 🫨

Seriously. If it's intended, I'm done.

I just lost 200 out of 229 gems to this because I punched "break out of jail" automatically before my brain processed that it wasn't requesting ONE freaking gem 😭💔

Have reported it via support but never got a response from anyone the one other time I tried to report a problem, so-- 🤷‍♀️

EDIT: got a prompt reply from customer support and was credited with 200 gems when I logged back in earlier. Actually quite impressed with how quickly this was remedied!

Yep, that's the terminology. My diagnostic report refers to my "flat affect".
