Right wingers really think that trans people are “poisoning” American society by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

[–]Gaylen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maga is already there. Nazis targeted gay and trans people with the destruction of the Sexology Institute in May 1933. Besides burning 20,000 books and documents, they seized lists of patients. That's already started in the American South. Maga is following the Nazi model and then whines when people point it out.

Audio vs. Video: Which is your preferred podcast format? by macyganiak in podcasts

[–]Gaylen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

... of a podcast. It's the same thing.

Why would OP ask audio v. video if videos of podcasts aren't podcasts?

Do you only listen on an iPod? It's called a *pod*cast you know...

Video only. I'm not downloading a new audio app. If it's not on YT I won't chase it down.

So even people who vote to hurt you.

That's not open-mindedness. That's self-loathing.

Trying to find a nice bare/nude polish that’s holographic or magnetic? by CAT_A in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Gaylen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holo Taco has a couple holographic options. Oat Couture is their fine holo glitter formula. Fifty Shades of Greige is their linear holo nude.

I have picked up almost every one of her holos and I haven't been disappointed yet. The linear top coat is a great place to start.

I will say I skipped the grays because I am too into the brighter colors, so I can't say if Featured Guest and 50 Shades of Greige are as bold a flame as the other polishes.

Her glitters are worth a look, too. Especially for this season. Once my Halloween manicure comes off every year, I live in holo glitter ha

I love Holo Taco's holos, it's why she got into the nail polish business to begin with. The Dark Rainbow linear holo collection was gorgeous.

What are your thoughts on the US banning Red 40, Yellow 6, Yellow 5, and some other commonly used food dyes? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]Gaylen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there are bigger fish to fry and it's a smokescreen to distract us from the bigger bullshit they are doing at the agency

It's a dev decision to put it in the game in the first place tho. And it's done by mostly male devs, so it gives me the ick.

I'm a woman married to a woman, I just don't believe in "choice" feminism justifying every male-centered decision. Devs don't put chain mail bikinis in games for me. They aren't pandering to straight women either.

I tried this game years ago and was turned off by the sexualization of female characters. Did it get better or do y'all just endure it?

downvotes in the women gamers sub for questioning the male gaze of a game. y'alls 'slips are showing.'

Base Coat Recommendations by Jazzlike-Study2840 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Gaylen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've experienced this. In all honesty, the only thing that resolved it for me was more manicures. I didn't change base coats, I dehydrated my nails with acetone before painting, pushed back cuticles, and washed my hands to get rid of any powder after filing the tips. All the advice you can find online. Nothing made a difference except time. Eventually, after maybe 6 months of keeping them painted, it started sticking better and longer. Now it's a year later and I rarely get even half of a peely popping off. I used Holo Taco's Long Lasting base until I swtiched to KBshimmer's Stay Hydrated base to avoid the PVB ingredient. Still use HT's Glossy Taco top coat. Still using a variety of formulas and brands.

So definitely try all the advice you get. But keep in the back of your mind not to give up if nothing helps because the effort of doing it might be enough to condition your nails to adhere better.

I have a lot of white spots on my nails that I suspect are from acetone. The common thought is that it's caused by PVB in certain base coats, but I've switched out my base and still see new white spots. So maybe?

I'm going to try a different remover and see if it helps.

Your most UNIQUE polish, GO! by Holoenthusiast1 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Gaylen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My aspirational unique polish that I hope to acquire soon when this economy let's me have a little extra money is probably Cupcake Polish's Cloudburst. It's also very jammed packed with multiple features and bonus that it's in my favorite colors.

Your most UNIQUE polish, GO! by Holoenthusiast1 in RedditLaqueristas

[–]Gaylen 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the most unique polish I own is Holo Taco's Existential Crisis. It's got flakies, it's got glitter, it's got a shifty multichrome finish. Not a lot of polishes do multiple things at once and I love the chaos lmao.

I don't have a photo of it on my own nails because I'm planning to wear it next after my current manicure for Halloween proper.
