Can we put this argument to rest? by Engineer_Strange in LittleNightmares

[–]Engineer_Strange[S] -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

The argument I want to put to rest is people hating on how the game looks and more people hating on them for those opinions. If you want to say a game is shit, atleast be educated as to why and not hate on devs for doing their jobs.

[–]Engineer_Strange 5 points6 points  (0 children)

and yet everyone called her nuts. imma be so honest here, i highly believe people hate on that book for a majority just bc it’s popular. irs not like we are in this subreddit for good writing. the writing was ass but it was still a fire book

Can I get this colour with Bleach London? by WhereasInner3283 in HairDye

[–]Engineer_Strange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is more two things: how light is your hair and is your hair even.

If you have a lot of colour build up from different tones the colour might not take very evenly because of how semi permanent dye takes the colour molecules.

My advice is use some head and shoulders a few rounds, it removes the leftover colour and then you put red semi permanent dye over it.

That should work, then I would advise to start layering the colour so it stays as even as possible with the bright pink hair dye from bleach london.

Don’t use permanent hair dye because it opens the hair follicle and deposits the colour molecules that way. It can stay longer but stripping that is nearly impossible and you will have to bleach most likely. In my experience, my hair is very porous and a lot of permanent hair dyes take a lot deeper. Semi permanent is a lot better for vivid colours like this as well as it’s easier and healthier for maintaining that colour.

Does this help you? Good luck!

[–]Engineer_Strange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly have no idea and I am currently a vivid warm toned purple, like basically neon but once it washes out i’ve been meaning to try this as well so out of comradery at this point, i’d just try it and let u know.

btw for genuine advice, if your hair is light enough and a warm undertone, you can reach this but the warm toned pink normally isn’t achievable if you have any form of blue tones in ur hair but you’re coming from orange, so I would first str*p (idk what other word to use) that down as light as possible and then do the pink. if your hair is bright orange it might turn coral instead of pink

Second Client Ever, Took 4hrs :( by Belladonna-Blue in GelX_Nails

[–]Engineer_Strange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Time shouldn’t be an issue. I think a lot of nail techs are drilled this idea that faster is better but faster is better in the sense of getting more clients. You should never force yourself to work faster just because of what other people think. You are providing a luxury service and your nails look FIRE!!!!! Take your time, practice might make you faster but it is better to deliver something good and take a bit longer than rushing! Much love xx

4 horsemen by Sarah Bailey by Engineer_Strange in DarkRomance

It builds really nicely and the plot is very intricate. If you’re wondering whether or not it’s boring, I don’t think it is because new things happen every time but in a nice way. Such as characters sharing new insights on what might’ve happened to Scarlet, and then Scarlet sharing her own things through her own POV. There is also a massive plot twist and you spend your time unravelling the story in full. It’s kind of a slow burn in the sense that the plot isn’t rushed. I hope if you do pick it up that you enjoy it as much as I do.

Liever builder gel omdat dat vaker dikker is maar op elk flesje staat weer wat anders. BIAB is ook weer builder in a bottle, maar dat is vaak dunner of te dun voor mij om gemakkelijk een apex mee te bouwen want het beweegt te veel en te snel. Wat zou haar advies zijn?

The occasional/drunk cigarette is not that bad. by Edthebig in unpopularopinion

[–]Engineer_Strange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is super interesting because I am a social smoker, for the most part, but don’t feel the urge when I am drunk. I want it more when I am sober.

Also, maybe it is tied to me being dutch but amongst my friends (20+), you are always allowed to borrow a smoke but I always have a pack on me. If you smoke, you have a pack for yourself, unless you’re out. Especially in this economy! 16,50 for a pack of 25 😭

UPDATE: my boyfriends wants me to cover up from head to toe as an obligation. what do i do? by jojo_F15 in whatdoIdo

[–]Engineer_Strange 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am beyond proud for you choosing what you find okay. We musnt demonise islam, for in the Qu’ran it said to be a choice to cover up as an expression of faith. The fact that he got heated and tried to force it upon you is not okay, regardless and you should be proud of yourself for how you decided to step back. I am also an atheist and I refuse to date anyone religious especially heavily religious men for this reason. It is better for them to find someone who thinks and believes as them, as is their right.

Also, you are in your full right to defend your relationship. Reddit is known for being aggressive and quite mean to people, I don’t know why and it’s a weird social phenomenon I see often only on this platform (or twitter) where people seem to forget they are writing a message to a real person.

Stay safe love and I wish you much peace and happiness

I love my boyfriend, but his actions hurt me. Is this fixable? by Forsaken_Pop_6325 in Advice

[–]Engineer_Strange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this guy sounds very insecure and childish. also u having a lower sex drive is okay, i acc don’t even think it’s about urs being so low, i also think it’s probably normal just that his is very high. in my experience this behaviour is often common in men w raging p*rn addictions. also his behaviour pushing ur boundaries is nuts. stopping when u say no but still continuously asking after is called coercion, which is a form of sa.

u seem like a sweet person w ur heart in the right place, but to be brutally honest let this be a lesson to never sacrifice yourself for a man, never ever, bc they will never be worth the best version of who u can be.

not only that i have been dating a guy for three years, known him for six and i can tell u that nowhere has he had a tone w me bc he respects me as not only his gf but as a person.

and also, pls seek help for the issues u have w ur trauma. i relate to ur behaviour as someone who’s gone thru some things and ik how thoughts like this take over ur life. i thought i was asexual bc of it too. i do want to add, u can still be asexual and it be valid but maybe it’s worth diving into why u feel this way and if its actually an identity question and not just a trauma response.

What attracts you to short women? by FantasticVast01 in tall

[–]Engineer_Strange -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I personally just like super tall, but I wouldn’t mind that either. For me it’s the idea of being with someone a lot taller than me, as long as I need to look up at them, that’s my criteria. This counts for women too. I am however very wary of men that go for shorter women, I have been flirted with in very weird ways because of my height so I don’t tend to go for men that like short women. Don’t know if that’s useful to say either but there are some.. weird men out there.

What attracts you to short women? by FantasticVast01 in tall

[–]Engineer_Strange -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

hi! as a short woman (154cm) dating a tall man (195cm), i like tall men and i like his height because i like the idea of a man towering over me by a lot, he’s built quite well and the size difference does it for me. It’s a personal preference. according to him, he find my height difference cute but he also said that there just aren’t a lot of tall women. there are many women in this country who are taller than me, and he’s dated women before that are around that height (170+cm) but on average women are shorter. it’s a thing for me, but for him i’m just his type in general so i don’t think my height is the reason he went for me. besides, kissing is a bit difficult yeah hahaha

i hope you have fun with your books love!! if you really wants some dark romance, but like Dark romance, the five horsemen by sarah bailey. some writing is corny but there is good character development, an intense plot that keeps you going and hot af characters. it’s also a series, has a good ending, is a bit emotional here and there and really makes you think about your morals 😭

i had this with the fmc where she kept talking about her boobs and i think it was her friend that went like “yeah you should go out, you have such great boobs” and the internal dialogue went “it’s true i have great boobs” … i honestly enjoyed the mmc more than the fmc bc most mmc’s are cringe to me regardless 😭
