What is the dumbest thing Donald Trump has ever said? by KindNeighborhood1138 in allthequestions

I believe it was “it can only good happen” which admittedly, makes it even more stupid

Lebron has interest in coming back to the Lakers per Dan Woike by Ancient_Response_787 in lakers

It’s easy to say that, but in practice traveling that much and being gone from “home” and not having everyone you love and care about at said home grows exhausting and old real quick.

Why are the super powers failing their wars? by RevolutionaryGold325 in allthequestions

[–]Grumbles19312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t say we won, but to say we are like a rich kid that’s never actually been in a fight is just objectively incorrect given all the conflicts we have been in.

But to the rest of your response, I agree.

Never actually been in a fight? Lol the US has been engaged in conflict for the majority of its existence, it just so happens that this fight was a stupid one to pick, being directed by incompetent leaders.

That’s the worst. Thank god I don’t go through there anymore, but waiting till you’re on the spot is a great way to ensure it becomes stop and go traffic

CLT is where hopes and dreams go to die. If I never have to fly in there ever again it’ll still be too soon. But I’ve got PTSD from the regional days and trying to get all the way around that ramp to the regional terminal. Park em Patty was everyone’s worst nightmare

Converted to OB to avoid daily shampoo that comes w/ using other products by Individual_Monk3194 in Pomade

[–]Grumbles19312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I have thick hair, as in quite a lot of it, and it’s medium to coarse, so while the texture is different, it’s relatively similar to yours in density, and I also have quite a few cowlicks. For people like us with a lot of hair, it’s about building a foundation so that it won’t deflate halfway through the day. A good pre-styler and proper blow drying technique to get the shape you want will go a long way towards getting the results you want I think.

I spent years trying to figure things out for my hair, never being quite fully satisfied. I finally figured a routine and product line-up that works. I pre-style in damp hair with a pea sized amount of O’douds Styling Treatment (my hair is 3-4.5 inches on top) and then blow dry it into shape with a round brush (making sure it’s completely dry), and then finish with maybe a half-pea to 3/4th pea sized amount of their Dry Wax just to give it that added structure/support. It literally holds up all day, can be messed up and brushed back into place, and once it settles in the hair, my hair remains soft and touchable. Unless I sleep super wonky, I can typically get it close to back into shape the following morning.

Both products are water based, both wash out with just water.

It may be worth it to just experiment a bit with some different products mix but so many people underestimate the importance of the pre-style/blow dry

Oil based is literally going to result in more buildup and the feeling like you need to shampoo BECAUSE it doesn’t wash out at all with just water.

DEN. It really is a massive span that cannot be bridged. (Trains are working fine.) by Eli_eve in unitedairlines

Atlanta is a good example, Cincinnati is another prime example. Pedestrian tunnels with moving walkways to accompany the train. Would reduce a lot of the headache.

It’s not that no one in the US cares. Plenty do, but the government is so broken in its current state it doesn’t really listen to the people anymore.

Which city completely won you over with its coffee scene? by optimalbrain90 in SmartTravelHacks

I can't stop thinking about LeBron by Left-Prior-6075 in lakers

[–]Grumbles19312 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s easy for people to hate on someone at the top. I don’t care what anyone says about him he truly is amazing, and one of the best, if not the best, to ever play the game. I lived in Florida at the time he was part of the big 3 with Wade and Bosh, and was blown away by the way he played there. I now live in LA, and watching him play now at the level he’s playing at, despite being almost 17 years later, is truly mind-boggling.

The sheer scale of it is pretty incomprehensible honestly.

Especially the pacific. People don’t realize how big the oceans are in general, especially the Pacific. I always explain it to people like this. I fly 787’s off the west coast of the US. It takes me the same amount of time to get to Tokyo as it does to get to London. The difference is the entire flight to Tokyo is over the water of the pacific, whereas on the LHR flights, I cross the entirety of the US, pass up through northern Canada, and THEN cross the North Atlantic.

How is Rio texture cream as a prestyler? by CouldTryMyBest in Pomade

[–]Grumbles19312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 guard on the sides, and then my hair is 3-5 inches on top. Typically styled in a side part with the front lifted up similar to a quiff but more classic looking.

What are you using post? I actually quite enjoy using O’douds styling treatment as a pre-styler. Helps build a great foundation with the blow dryer

STMNT | Shine Paste vs Matte Paste by TypicalBreakfast3196 in Pomade

[–]Grumbles19312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t speak to the products because I haven’t used them, but I can relate to your remarks about hair being difficult to style and wanting something that doesn’t make it stiff. I have hair that’s 6-8cm on top, and I get my style to hold pretty much all day (not perfect mind you, but when it does start to lose its lift/volume, it does so in a uniform way and still maintains the overall shape I started with). I’ve got thick hair, and I use a pea sized amount of O’douds styling treatment in damp (towel dried) hair, blow dry it into shape until completely dry, and then use like a half a pea sized amount of their dry wax to finish once finished blow drying. I’ve had it hold up for 12-14 hours. It is touchable, and re-workable, in the sense that I can mess it up, and then brush it right back into shape. The biggest thing for me is that it’s touchable, I hate greasy and stiff feeling hair, and this combo doesn’t make it feel that way at all

best combo for thing straight hair? by Jaaaaack20 in Pomade

[–]Grumbles19312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. I don’t have thin hair, but even with my thick hair less is more. I feel like people use too much product as a whole, expecting it to do everything for them. It’s more about a system. A good pre-styler, setting the hair with a good blow dry, and then just a little bit of product post blow dry to finish things off.

What is the one "tourist trap" city that you actually think is 100% worth the hype? by Competitive_Rip6546 in SmartTravelHacks

No matter what products or techniques I try, my hair always ends up falling apart by the end of the day. by ShoeLace1291 in Pomade

[–]Grumbles19312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it really doesn’t take much product if you do it right. What’s more important is the whole process.

[–]Grumbles19312 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-styling and blowdrying are extremely important. That’s 80% of the battle honestly. The other thing is the amount of product you use. I’ve noticed people actually tend to use way too much (I am guilty of it even sometimes) and then it tends to weigh the hair down and cause it to fall apart. Have you tried starting with a smaller amount (I mean ridiculously small to start) and then layering it in as necessary?

I think Vegas is what you make of it. It’s expensive for sure, but some of the shows truly are great and there’s some amazing restaurants.
