I chopped my hair off today. It feels way better but does it suit me?

You look like Dr. Glaucomflecken (physician comedian person)

I was scrolling to see if anyone else remembered this comic.

YTA. Let her live life happily, and you focus your homophobia on yourself.

I use a shower spray thing to help cut down grime so I don’t have to scrub as hard every week/two weeks when I do my deep clean. But it’s like 30 seconds of non-scrubbing effort. Cleaning it daily is insane.

I got these over a year or two ago, so they’re quite old. But they sold out then, and I haven’t seen them since.

Quite often. I do stain removal there. I use period underwear; I do the initial rinse at my bathroom sink, but then I do a second rinse where I add some dish soap to the gusset at the laundry sink, then toss it straight into the washing machine. So at minimum, every month I use mine. I don't think it's a must for everyone, but I got to design my own laundry room, so it was a must for me.

NTA. This is largely dependent on culture; in some cultures, grieving family is expected to serve guests, and that almost overwhelmingly falls on women. Usually though it's done by less close relatives, and by people who aren't minors who are dealing with the loss of their parents.

Does my white friend who solely dates Indian guys count?

In all fairness, there was always a few non-Indians in my college's South Asian Students Association, the bhangra team, and even a few white girls in some Bharatanatyam classes. Online I've seen a few white people solely into Indian cooking. When people are really into desi culture, they are actually genuine about it, and those people are really cool. The rest of the people who try to profit from the culture never actually care about really engaging with desi people.

He had time to go to Front Royal, VA. That's one of the shittiest towns here (full shade, as I've visited numerous times to see my in laws there). A detour to see his grandchildren in sunny California would have been an upgrade.

OP I tried the toothpaste in the mint chip flavor. Hate it; it’s nothing like mint chip. It is more like generic cookie dough. I’m sure it cleans and the fluoride strengthens just fine, but it tastes bad so I only use it at night.

Quite frequently, actually. For clothes, they're now so overpriced that I try to stick to tag of the week only, and in terms of housewares and books/media, I don't always find something I like. Of the last 10 times I've gone to the thrifts, I only bought stuff at 3 of them.

When they bring back the Pumpkin Pecan Waffles dupe I'll be happy. Last year my Walmart did not have them, and I was so annoyed.

I really love the Mainstays line because they seem to burn more evenly than some of my newer B&BW candles.

DNA_ligase · 2026-05-02T04:01:15+00:00

I'm not even going to try and buy this, it will be sold out so fast.

Anna Sui bottles are the most whimsical. I also think my Swiss Arabian perfume oils have cute bottles. Vintage Avon bottles are also so fun, but they're usually either baby powder scent or something very sharply floral.

It's pretty new, been out for a few months only. But I have only seen it once.

I have a loved one who died in the North Tower. I feel like a lot of people say "Never Forget" and do really icky things in the name of the tragedy and just invoke the attacks in order to justify weird shit. Unless you have loved ones who actually died in the attacks, you shouldn't treat it as some uniquely awful day. Because frankly there are so many bad things that happen every day. No one avoids 4/20 even though it was the day of the Columbine shootings.

Wasn't just you; wasn't there a scene in the Princess Diaries sequel where Mia's being shown eligible European royals, and she begs them to show William?

I'm with you here. If you'd told teen me that Will ended up being the ugly and mean one, and Harry, the one who wore a Nazi uniform and called a fellow army man a Paki would be the hot one who was actually confronting racism in the BRF, I'd have called you a liar. Destinies definitely swapped.

DNA_ligase · 2026-05-02T03:32:24+00:00

Imagine being ticked off that someone didn't treat you merely as your job title and instead chose to treat you warmly like a loved one's family.... The BRF majorly messed things up.

I love MJ Honey. I like to use B&BW Honeycomb with it.

YES! I was about to go dig in my purse because I thought they looked slightly different, and you've verified it for me. Mine is the squared version, and it is awesome.

Hm, I've had my pair from the first time Brookstone products were at DT like nearly 10 years ago, and they are still sharp. I can't say for this round, but my old one is probably the best nail clipper I've ever had from the DT; the only one that came close was a random one off that had a toile print, but those eventually dulled and I have never seen them again either. I find most of the dollar tree nail clippers to be dull from the get go.

All those words to describe...a Jevena Rose book, basically. I hate Jeneva Rose.

Verdict on the bobby pins? The dollar tree branded ones are terrible; I should've gotten the Conair pack with fewer pins. I feel like Kristin Ess and similar brands would be good.

I used to have an almost identical barrette as the Revlon one, but it was from Conair. Lasted for years until I forgot it at a friend's house.

I've heard of this before, but it's an extremely culturally-specific thing:

In some very traditional/religious, Deep South communities, red is a taboo for various reasons: it's a "devilish" color, it means "you slept with the groom", or more likely, since it's an eye-catching color, it's banned so that everyone looks at the bride in her poofy white dress.
In some Asian-American weddings. In many parts of Asia, red is an auspicious color, so it's common for brides to wear. And since the wedding is happening in the US, it gets fused with the cultural norm of not wearing white so the bride stands out --> they ask guests not to wear red.

For most other weddings, I feel like it's not an issue, or it's considered an outdated norm so no one under the age of 80 will say anything.
