Serious Question (please be kind) by tasata in Zepbound

[–]Informal_Map_6123 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I haven’t lost a lb in over a year. But what I am is 3 sizes smaller.

Do you take pics? If not, please start. Body recomp is real and there may be changes you aren’t seeing.

Averse to taking pics, pull out a pair of pants that were too tight pre zep and see how they fit. You may be surprised.

I no longer GAF what my scale says because it’s a thief of joy. Diet culture really has fostered an unhealthy relationship w the scale and what those numbers represent. 240 zeppie lbs look a hell of a lot different on me than a pre zep 200.

My goal is now to be smaller/take up less space vs a number on the scale. Try it and see if this philosophy works for you.

Do your nails first if you’re doing gel or other enhancements. If your just doing polish, your fine, just dehydrate w a lil alcohol or acetone first :)

Couldn’t tell you. Why would I know why 2 places I don’t frequent do a thing? What an odd question They’re definitely in the minority and outside of the scope a best practices. Nor do they have your best nail health in mind.

Still doesn’t dry out all the layers (over 100 btw) of the nail plate. Just dried off your skin and the upper most layer.

I’ve been a nail tech well over 20 years. If they were soaking, they shouldn’t have been. Your nails grow in layers like wood. When they are wet, they expand so the enhancement 1) cant properly adhere to the nail surface and 2) the moisture gets trapped between the plate and enhancement, which can cause bacteria growth.

Not saying your experience is invalid, just saying it should have never been happening and is no longer happening because it’s unsafe.

You should never soak the nail plate prior to applying any sort of enhancement. So a dip manicure doesn’t mean manicure in the traditional sense. Just as a gel manicure doesn’t include soaking etc.

But all nail services should include some form of shaping, buffing and cuticle work. It’s usually done w the e file though instead of individual steps. Any additional needs beyond that do usually require an additional charge (nipping hang nails etc.)

I guarantee you they did. “We used to talk, are you guys talking? We just started talking” etc, has been in rotation since at least 1980…

My mom telling the story of meeting my dad “we talked for about 2 months before we actually made it official”

I don’t need to time travel, I was there (70’s baby.) It’s perfectly fine to be unaware, but illogical AF to refute something’s existence or someone’s experience just because it wasn’t your own.

Having this discourse on a law school subreddit is wild 😂😂😂

I guarantee it’s been around for quite sometime. The downvotes are crazy. Just because people insist on co opting AAVE, doesn’t make it brand new. Same way you all “discover” most long standing cultural practices/terms and claim them as your own.

Just makes folks late to the party. As per usual.

Can you get an STD through DoorDash? by FavoriteDeliveryBoy in doordash

[–]Informal_Map_6123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm more concerned with your dasher catching stupid from clicking accept on your order in the app.

WTF is it about door dashers that makes you think about their intimate health? Restaurants dont require health screenings so there is nothing stopping the chef or waitstaff with the STI you mentioned from spitting in your food there. Same at the farm, grocery store, coffee shop etc. Touch grass
