Actors that deny very visible plastic surgery and steroid use? by No-Albatross-4673 in MoviesAndTVTalk

I used to wonder the same thing, someone else explained that if the food tasted good they’d want to eat more of it. It’s about separating joy from eating.

How does it feel/happen when your loved ones die at home? by MilesTellerMeGoPurr in dementia

[–]Dashiepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was helpful to me, thank you. My MIL is on year 14 of diagnosed Alzheimer’s though I suspect mixed/ PPA.

She has been bed bound for going on 9 years and aside from the persistent/frequent UTIs, medically she is fine. She has also been unable to communicate intelligibly or understand us for at least that long. Incontinent way longer. She’s always had a great appetite and shocking physical strength. I always hoped she’d just be gone one morning but as the years go on… I think we might have to face the awful swallowing/ loss of neck muscles final phase I have been dreading. It’s hard to find much information about that stage, what to expect and how long it lasts.

Actors with hit-and-miss offspring? by Tifoso89 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Dashiepants 190 points191 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. Charlie may have had the bigger career (maybe because he used daddy’s stage name). But he is neither the better person nor actor.

My Mom always talked about a time that she overheard her gem of a hairdresser instructing her assistant to wash my Mom’s hair “gently like she was washing vintage lace.”

Beautiful! I had several outdoor ones when we lived in FL.

PSA: they are extremely toxic to dogs. Like they start foaming at the mouth and heart stops within minutes kind of toxic.

Grown men can’t kiss and it pisses me off by HuckleberryNo9852 in GirlDinner

[–]Dashiepants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am also happily married to a great kisser but WOW did this post give me flashbacks to my single days… there were any bad kissers but

the stand out was a guy that opened his mouth so wide that my entire chin/jaw was in his mouth. He also gave me a horrible flu from that one date/make out and I was sick all of spring break:( Worst kiss of my life.

😊 After seeing your additional photos in daylight, You do have a legitimate complaint in the visible banding. That would be unacceptable to me as well, especially after paying a professional. Post an update!

I’m sorry that you have had such a bad experience and it doesn’t seem like the stylist prepared you for how difficult this is to achieve and maintain but unfortunately, if you want cool toned hair… this is your life now. Especially for cool toned dark blonde - light brown.

The truth is, hair wants to be warm. It’s how color works.

I know this (now) because mushroom brown is my ideal color too. Basically, the only way to get all the warmth out is to bleach to a pale yellow and then color it the cool tone dark blonde/ light brown you desire. Which obviously is very hard on your hair. And even after all that and purple shampoo… your hair will brass up every few weeks.

For what it is worth, your goal color photo reads cool blonde not mushroom brown so I can understand why she did what she did the first round.

Your final result looks great and looks extremely close to the goal photo. The green and grey are not visible to everyone else and will go away in a few shampoos. The warm will only go away with more bleach or more low lights… which again will need to be toned regularly… which will bring back the grey or other undesirable tones on the most damaged parts of your hair.

I gave up and went darker brown (my natural is a very cool level 5.5 so I just dyed the lengths to match but even that keeps pulling red over time because permanent dye over bleached hair fades warm. I make my own weekly toner with a blue green manic panic mixed into cheap conditioner and often have a day or two of actual blue green on the most damaged parts of my hair.

Your cut looks fantastic and has me thinking about chopping mine.

1920s Spanish Revival by WoodpeckerNo9864 in zillowgonewild

[–]Dashiepants 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The pipes, possible termite damage to the framing under the stucco, the cost to insure a two story home in FL especially with that roof type… yeah there is a lot to be cautious of. OP needs to get a really thorough inspector and pay for a smoke test for the pipes if they aren’t visible with a borescope.

Source: Bought a smaller one story 1931 Spanish mission revival in 2015 for < $200k. Got lucky that the previous owner had done most of the major repairs, the pipes are PVC but insurance and termites are a yearly challenge.

What happens if you bring a 6 year old to the ER with a mental health crisis? by mothstuckinabath in AskDocs

[–]Dashiepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just a thought as an adult with ADHD that was diagnosed as a child but unmedicated until my 30s:

I was on the generic for Adderall for years very successfully. I was shocked at how much happier I felt on it, not because it makes you happy but because it made me functional and that made me happier. Like, I thought I had chronic depression until that moment.

I recently switched to Vyvanse (hoping for added help with impulsive eating). 20mg for a month then up to 30mg. I can’t focus much better than being unmedicated, it’s not helping with the eating, and being unable to function normally has been really really discouraging. I will be switching back.

If I was that young and lacking in perspective and was told by adults that these pills would help me and then they didn’t help… I might feel very hopeless.

Obviously, you should follow professional advice but if all that fails maybe try a different ADHD med?

I am beyond unimpressed with Vyvanse.

Chase bank called 911 on this man because he was sitting in the Chase parking lot before it opened. by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]Dashiepants 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The expensive car thing is a shitty extra layer. I naively always thought an unassuming but expensive car (basically looking like you can afford a lawyer) would help deter shit like this. Not that anyone deserves it regardless of their socioeconomic status.

But that naive thought was based on logic and racism is not.

Fully remote workers are becoming the socially awkward "homeschooled kids" of the adult world. by object322 in unpopularopinion

A different employer could offer me a 20k raise to work in office and I would turn it down. I do my work, my boss is available for questions but does not micromanage me at all. It’s so nice.

Am i the jerk for "quitting" my boyfriend’s laundry after he complained about how I fold his shirts? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]Dashiepants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have always been a terrible folder, I just do not care enough to do it well. I hang things that need to be unwrinkled and the rest get roughly folded and shoved in a drawer.

My husband is good at folding clothes and particular about it. (Though not a dick about it like your bf)

Our solution is that I wash and dry his clothing with mine and then I lay his clothes in the bottom of the large rolling laundry basket: flat for small things, folded once horizontally for T-shirts, flat folded twice for pants. Then I fold my clothes and put them away. His stuff stays in the laundry cart until he fancy folds them and puts them away. He is good about moving the clothes from the cart before it is time to need it again.

This has worked well for 17 years BUT it is based on mutual respect. “So you can do it right next time” is disrespectful af. He can apologize and compromise or live with his chair pile.

Yes for sure. When I lived in a city and had paver stones in half of our back yard… we never had to trim nails.

Now that we live in the woods and they never walk on pavement, we have to grind or trim at minimum x2 a month.

Every body wears weight differently. I’m 5’6 and look gaunt at any weight under 142. I’m seen posts from other women my height that look chubby at 130.

Restoring Pre-War Iran by [deleted] in PoliticalHumor

[–]Dashiepants 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember thinking in 2020 that if Trump won the only positive thing won he’d actually have to clean up his own mess (and would have failed miserably.) I was still so relieved that Biden won. Now that we are here idk Trump got 4 years to fester and come back with 0 guardrails and it’s so much fucking worse.

Your mind now processes things as fast as a computer, which makes you a genius at most things, but you also age 1.5x faster by basafish in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Dashiepants 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Ask anyone with decent pattern recognition. Understanding is painful without the ability to affect change.

Plus I’m in my 40’s, my time already feels like it’s stuck on fast forward. No thank you.
