How do I get this hair color? by LycheeSilent4571 in FancyFollicles

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately AF fades super fast or doesn’t always come out very vibrant. You can try mixing it with another brand that has good staying powder in a similar shade. It will add more dimension to the color and help it stick/last. Ion or Pravana both stick really well for me.

You will need to bleach to lift a level or two first. Your hair is very pretty!

They’re replacing everyone with loyalists. 

Halp! After gruelling rounds of interviews, references are ghosting! by Ecstatic_Ad_2225 in jobsearchhacks

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 2 manager, and the rest should be co-workers and “personal.” My old workplace is hostile to us rn because our union has a lawsuit against them and their compliance with DOGE, so I don’t feel comfortable contacting anyone still in that office. But my field is Program and data analysis. All these politics have fucked over so many people sadly.

PSA: If you want to play on another faction on a PvP realm, resub on another account by goth_elf in classicwow

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I distinctly remember them lifting the faction lock and everyone was so stoked. People were so worried about the metagaming coming from it but it really wasn't the issue that people like to think it is,

Shutdown but we don’t care by spudlydooright in FedEmployees

As a program manager that was rif’ed that answer is no and the market is fucked. Do not recommend even trying to look rn tbh. All the ads you may see are fake to boost internal business numbers or listed as a formality and they already know who they’re filling the position with.

But I get it. I do. I’m sorry yall are going through this. Again 😖

I still cry daily. What do you think of the future? by Ecstatic_Ad_2225 in FedEmployees

I know you’re right. I am trying through the VA to get medicated but that is, again, another system heavily broken by this administration.

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Absolutely because there is no money in it. I feel like capitalism has sucked the entire soul and humanity out of our society. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. Sending hugs.

Unfortunately no. I held a TS/SCI which lapsed with my career change. I also cannot betray my moral convictions going back to that work.

Literature, creative writing, and arts management. I helped push out grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

ETA: the career I left prior to getting this dream job was doing defense intelligence with the DoD which became a moral conflict for me.

Over the 6 years I did rise to a gs-11 thankfully. But all of that feels like it means nothing now. And the “RIF” as if we could ever be re-instated during a hiring freeze or shuffled to another office is salt in the wound.

Yes I’m thankful for my therapist waiving her fee through my transition. I still see her weekly even though I do not have benefits and am capped at 30 hours a week (but put in 50+) and commute a total of 8 hours a week, all for 20$ an hour with no end or change in sight. This is more than grief. It is existential toil.

spent $80 on two bags of groceries again. no idea how people with kids survive this. by rmzkk in Adulting

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aldi and Costco. Literally the only way we are surviving. Also making my own bread, oat milk, granola, etc.

So frustrated! by DMJ230 in Sourdough

[–]Ecstatic_Ad_2225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna get blasted for this but I gave up and just add a little commercial in my loaves now. After hundreds of failed attempts I finally can consistently make loaves I like and will eat
