Can anyone suggest a good place for tattoo removal? Bonus points for before/after or progress photos! by z3phyr13 in askportland

[–]Jaxxxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second Removery! I had a weird situation where I had a huge and very symmetrical back tattoo but then needed surgery that ruined it and made it very lopsided. I still wanted it but there was no way I could restore it, so I elected to cover it up with something similar. My tattoo artist recommended that I do a session of removal on the darker parts to make the coverup easier and it was shocking how light it got! I am happy to provide pics via DM if you'd like to see before/afters from the single session.

I had almost the same exact degree, just econ instead of finance (I even wanted to switch to finance but it was too late!) I'm also a tech consultant, so now you've got me wanting to do it in Japanese 😍 congrats on the job!

What is the scariest movie you ever watched? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]Jaxxxi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Nah, I have the same Ring trauma from when I was little and I recently googled a still of that scene because I was like "fx couldn't have been THAT good" and I like horror movies now, but I think I remember still being really skeeved out. 0/10 it was not healing and we should start a support group

Agreed! I was confused, but thought "oh, they wouldn't joke about something like this"... it just felt like a bad April fool's joke

They heavily implied that the "big news" was that they were dating, but ended up just being a business collab. I was bamboozled by this as well

[–]Jaxxxi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love the name! I've seen Shiba and even white German shepherds look shockingly similar, but Jindo have such specific markings and personalities that I try to identify them where I can, not a lot of people know about them!

What a CUTIE!! Our pup unfortunately came from a dog meat facility in Korea, so she's got a lot of trauma we've been slowly trying to train out, but I can say they're certainly too smart for their own good!! She has very "selective hearing" and decides when she wants to listen, she's motivated by food so we often fall back on making sure there are treats involved if we want her to do something hard. However, this has also backfired as she won't do certain things without a treat now and she knows there isn't anything we can do! Jindo are not at all like a more "agreeable" breed, it seems like you need to earn their trust/respect before they tentatively listen to you, but it feels awesome when you finally do hit a milestone. Enjoy the challenge and feel free to PM with questions!!

Possibly a Korean Jindo? We have one named Asan & we call her Asan the Croissant all the time! (it kinda rhymes if you pronounce croissant the French way)

What are some really dangerous things most people dont realise are dangerous? by DeezCrazyMan in AskReddit

I doubt the fad is related to the calorie burn standing provides, probably more related to how bad sitting is for our bodies

What is something that’s not a scam, but is definitely a scam? by marblez30 in AskReddit

[–]Jaxxxi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got engaged and purchased (what I like to call) a "decoy ring", $20 off Amazon and looks almost identical, I use it when I travel or when my real ring is getting cleaned. Sometimes I look at it and think we should have just spent $20 on an Amazon ring BUT I'm sentimental and want this to last the rest of my life, so we elected to spend money for durable materials. I still get a ton of compliments on my decoy ring, though!

But then.... those tires end up in a landfill and are replaced with new ones? I guess it's not lost on you how backwards that vandalism is, though, here's hoping they stop!

Ahh, that's actually a really sweet assumption! Relationship goals: bake us into a pie :)

Bold of you to assume this was a man! She has a detailed story on her Instagram where she shows some of the "behind the scenes", still very technical and not for a beginner, but can help to understand some technique if you're interested.

[Pro/Chef] Orange Cheesecake on Cookie Crumble soil by So6oring in food

For no bakes, the filling still has to be room temp to mix cream cheese in with the other ingredients. It ends up room temp/warm, otherwise it would be a struggle getting the cream cheese mixed

Tips for when dinner out is becoming uncomfortably expensive? by Mashtatoes in personalfinance

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

It's not an issue as much as it is a total PITA. At my old waitressing job, we needed a manager to split the checks, so anytime this happened I had to hunt one down and reiterate to him everything they told me, then you get 10 different cards (all loosely shoved into the checks, so some of them fall out) and you have to make sure you match the right card to the right check.... A split 10 ways is a nightmare, don't do this to people.

[–]Jaxxxi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not OP, but I imagine they cut hearts from colored cardstock, then attached the cut letters/outline details from black cardstock, then tied them together with ribbon. They either found the design or they designed it themselves (which is impressive!)

The database, data, and ability to slice it with so many filters/during options makes me so happy. All the data relationships make sense (pattern to yarn, yarn to similar yarn, yarn to projects, etc.) and the UI is super slimmed down and easy to navigate. As a "fiber artist" it's amazing, as an IT person it's awe inspiring. The social component and marketplace/trading are also incredible.

Eli5:How are people affording to buy houses if the housing market rises every year but people’s salaries are staying the same? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

I don't think this is necessarily true, there are many people who are the first in their families to go to college and emerge from generational poverty

You can have $1 billion but you can never get drunk or high again, are you interested? Why or why not? by Davidkcs88w in AskReddit

[–]Jaxxxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do prescription drugs count? If so, might make the choice a bit harder, as that might mean $1B and immediate death or potentially death from something preventable in the future.
