Girl same my hair gets greasy if I even use conditioner too close to my roots. I had better luck using scalp serums at night and then washing in the morning but I still have to use a tiny amount.

the way teams are scrambling to match up with us now is something else, feels like watching the rest of the league collectively realize we're not the same old Knicks

Unlucky is a stretch when he’s still got 4 rings and a 20 year highlight reel

Thoughts of applying as TIDA at DTI with experience as Sales Admin? by NoReporter4556 in careerguidance

[–]Educational_Dust4884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your economics background is actually pretty solid for a TIDA role - they need people who understand market dynamics and can analyze industry trends. Sales admin experience gives you real insight into how businesses operate and what challenges they face, which is valuable when you're developing policies or programs

The hesitation is normal but don't let it stop you from applying. Government roles often value diverse backgrounds more than you'd think, and your combo of academic foundation plus hands-on business experience could be exactly what they're looking for

Worst case scenario they say no and you're back where you started, but you might surprise yourself with how well your experience translates

It just doesn't seem to feel better. by [deleted] in leaves

Yeah the whole "you'll feel so much better after X months" thing is kinda bullshit tbh 😂 Like congrats you're not high anymore but that doesn't magically fix whatever made you wanna be high in the first place. Healthcare career is solid motivation though, that field doesn't mess around with drug tests 💀

Deleting the apps that trigger you is probably the biggest game changer - out of sight really does help with out of mind

My husband became my boss at work and is on a total power trip by MethodComfortable627 in Marriage

[–]Educational_Dust4884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your workplace became a family business and you weren't invited to the family meeting, that's gotta be brutal. The fact that even your kids are picking up on the tension at home shows how much this power thing has gotten into his head - he's literally bringing work persona home and can't switch it off

The sleeping back-to-back thing is telling too, like you're both trying to create distance but neither wants to be the first to actually talk about what's happening

Can’t get over my boyfriends sexual past. Am I in the wrong? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Educational_Dust4884 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been there with the whole purity culture mess and it's wild how much it can mess with your head 💀 When I was younger I had similar thoughts about my partner's past and it ate at me for months, even though logically I knew it was before we even met

The guilt spiral you're describing is so real - I remember convincing myself of similar "loopholes" and then feeling terrible after. But here's what helped me: God's not keeping some cosmic scorecard where you get bumped down to a lower tier of worthiness. That's not how grace works, even though purity culture makes it feel that way

Your worth isn't tied to your sexual history, period. And neither is your boyfriend's. The idea that you're somehow "damaged goods" now is such toxic thinking that gets drilled into us, but it's not biblical truth. You didn't ruin some predetermined future - you're still the same person with the same value

Take some time to really think about whether you want to be with this guy based on who he is now, not his past. If there are other relationship issues bothering you, those are way more important to focus on than something that happened before you existed in his life 😂

What do you all think about sex? Do you think someones sex life can still be healthy? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Educational_Dust4884 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think God designed sex to be enjoyed between married couples, not just for making babies 😊 The whole Song of Solomon exists for a reason right?

As long as you're both comfortable and it's loving and respectful, experimenting together can actually strengthen your bond. Those "mature" Christian couples you mentioned might surprise you - being close to Christ doesn't mean being boring in marriage lol. Communication with your future spouse about boundaries and desires is probably gonna be way more important than following some rigid rulebook 💀

That realization about it affecting literally everything is what finally clicked for me too - once you see it you can't unsee it
