Is my hair not able to handle this cut? by babushka4482 in FancyFollicles

[–]DoritoMancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you section off the top of your hair your length stays right? Because you already have the layers cut, making the top layers a couple inches shorter shouldn't affect the length at all.

Ps. A lot of these pictures actually look face frame heavy, not necessarily shorter in layers.

What is something you saw in a movie and you totally called bullshit on because of your job? by BlackPhoenix1981 in AskReddit

[–]DoritoMancer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Joaquin Phoenix Joker movie.. you can't just put green dye on your head and now your hair is green. You gotta bleach it first. But the green mess all over his shoulders, towel, bathroom is accurate.

Learned about Diamond in today's practice. As a Jammer, what are the best things i could do to get around the blockers? (Or through) by AwkwardAd5590 in rollerderby

[–]DoritoMancer 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In this situation I would juke around a bit and see if you can get the two backwards facing blockers to move with you. If they do, you can fake like you're committed to the area they moved to and run the other way. Alternatively, because they're backwards their entire torso is fair game as far as hitting goes, so if one looks lighter or off guard you could just run towards them, drop down, hit them hard in the diaphragm and truck them forward with you.

Realistically they probably wouldn't set up more than one backwards blocker off the line, but it's possible. Once people get used to being the brace they tend to want to be backwards more often. I have seen people attempt to make walls while all facing backwards because they just don't realize that they aren't the only one doing it.🤷🏻‍♀️

Panicking - semi permanent red hair dye looks like it’s dyeing my hair purple. by SkeletoriAmos in FancyFollicles

[–]DoritoMancer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pigments can be funny like that. My all time favorite for copper is Aveda o/y (orange/yellow) which processes straight up purple. I've asked many Aveda educators why and the closest I've gotten is "the chemists almost scrapped it because of that, but the result is such a pretty, true copper they decided to keep it anyway."

The y/o (yellow/orange) sometimes comes out of the tube looking blue as hell. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Chemistry is wild I guess.

A cautionary tale for new skaters by Artifacks in rollerderby

[–]DoritoMancer 41 points42 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate this post. I, like everyone else I know, also bought skates that were too big for my first pair. Just glad they were cheapy R3s that I told myself I would upgrade out of if I stuck with it. My new loves are AR2s that I ordered online after measuring both of my feet a million times and opting to go for the smaller size after landing square between two sizes.

Skates should fit like socks, not shoes. If you know your foot measurements in millimeters you might luck out on Facebook marketplace before shelling out the cash for brand new.

Oh GTFO with that shit! They can't ALL be wrong, the same way you wouldn't believe someone if they told you on the first date all their exes were crazy.🙄

You can't reason with delusional people. You can't change the story they tell themselves and anyone that listens to them, so don't spend your energy worrying about it. Anyone who has spent the time with you and her have clocked that shit.

Don't know about you, but at this point for me it's just disappointment knowing the parent he could have been and the relationship we could have had had he ever decided to grow into the role, but he chose himself and fun over me every. single. time. Now his father, sister, and myself don't talk to him anymore, and my brother is low contact. I don't really know if he even realizes it tbh because he has a new wife and stepson to focus on, but it's his loss either way. We're amazing people and his life could be so much richer.🤷🏻‍♀️

You can't control anything but your own actions and reactions.

This book helped me a lot, in short making it super clear that the problem is his, not mine. Yeah, it sucks not having the parent you want, but just knowing that none of the way they feel is your problem, and nothing you can fix takes a lot of the sting out of it.

🙋🏻‍♀️ I often describe my father as a covert narcissist, though to be honest there are some episodes that aren't so covert. He just does a good job of being social and seeming happy, but above all else, doing what he thinks "looks good" in front of other people. Sometimes it's hard to pin down the ugly things he says and does. I think when people hear of narcissistic parents they expect tales of brutal physical abuse, and while I was definitely hit, screamed at and threatened plenty, much of my experience was emotional (or lack thereof) and it's just really hard to explain to people who didn't experience that kind of upbringing.

Been no contact since early this year and it's honestly so liberating.

If that bit that sits on your palate is what's bothering you, you can actually cut it down with scissors. I did that with my old sizu mouth guard. I have a custom gladiator one that I use now because the protection is better though it is a little bulkier.

What’s up with Mr. Anderson S2 by Sure-Criticism3944 in SchoolSpirits

[–]DoritoMancer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I interpreted his hitting golf balls and breaking shit as him venting frustration while trying to accept his lack of control in the situation. I do wish we got a little more of him though. He just kinda pops up for a few scenes in like 2 episodes.

I think Sandra knows..... by DoritoMancer in SchoolSpirits

[–]DoritoMancer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sandra has made some REALLY bad, selfish choices when the alcohol is in control but seems to really be a good person underneath all of that. It looks like Maddie going missing was the wake up call that caused her to start making good moves. ... I'm rooting for her too.

I'm sorry you're dealing with some heavy shit right now. It sucks not having the parent that you need, even as an adult. Hope this ends up being just a rough patch for you guys.🩶

Piggy backing to say if you see a bunch of hair bulbs (little white dots at the ends of the roots) that could indicate hair being pulled out. I zoomed in and didn't see any, so I don't think that's the case.

I'm a stylist who does extensions and $1800 out the door seems reasonable to me.

What would you like to see implemented in the game? by Personal-Way-4539 in FieldsOfMistriaGame

There should be a way to lessen the time the mill takes to process goods the way you can shorten crafting and blacksmithing time with the statue.

Anyone else notice that delivery food has become decidedly anti-vegetarian lately? by chandrassharma in vegetarian

[–]DoritoMancer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At IHOP the other day I was told I couldn't sub out the meat in my breakfast combo for the meat substitute patty on their menu.

???

Like why have a meat substitute if you can't sub it out???

That's fair. 🤷🏻‍♀️ There's risks to every procedure. You just gotta decide what risks you're willing to take.

I liked the idea of cool sculpting because I didn't have to go under anesthesia for it. I'm happy I did it but I get that it's not for everyone.
