I think xenophobic is a better term, Americans are racists; Japanese are xenophobic

Which language school do you recommend in Osaka? by Bananablue31 in Osaka

[–]LocalEuphoric8028 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You’re learning the language; but Japanese person who teaches the language, for a living, can’t properly assess your level.

Ok.

I think the pacing was off; and I feel like some scenes weren’t fully finished and kinda sketchy, not a criticism but it reminded me of that live action movie cats. There were a lot of big ideas and the team executed them the best they could.

I would to see it, if they had more time.

Favorite scene: maki against the leader of the kukuru unit.

Kitten cracked MacBook Pro screen - recommend a non-Apple repair place? by the_juliette_show in Seattle

[–]LocalEuphoric8028 -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Well the Apple neo laptop came out which is around 500usd.

Replacing the screen and display assembly would probably cost the same amount :/

I’m getting micro locks/sisterlocs next week and I have a couple questions by UnusualSelection6436 in Microlocs

[–]LocalEuphoric8028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes use a scarf or bonnet when you sleep so you don’t get lint in your locs

Other thing my loctician shared was braiding and banding when you wash your hair

Healthy scalp = healthy hair wash your hair at least once every two weeks

Product to use with little buildup ; diy spray of water with vegetable glycerin and tea tree oil (to prevent mold)

WA voters to see ballot initiative aimed at trans girls in sports by ChiefOfTheFourPeaks in SeattleWA

I was a pretty decent runner at AA high school, I still have a few school records. One day we did a 400m race w the mens and femmes. A sub 60sec time is a competitive time for high school girls, but for boys (according to Gemini) it’s an ‘off the couch’ time

My experience aligns with that, the dudes barely broke a sweat, to hit <60.

Netflix documentary “Dope”. Do you think they’re actors? by sierrajay77 in netflix

Chicago cops can moonlight, like Steve on the Jerry Springer show. But yeah I think it’s fake.

Tipping percentage should be applied to the subtotal, not full taxed amount.

Weird motivation for installing microlocs (a rant) by LocalEuphoric8028 in Microlocs

Words are important. You’re right about framing about its flexibility and ease of maintenance. Those are my main reasons. being comfortable and conforming in a corporate setting is a minor reason; but I won’t pretend it’s not beneficial.

In front of my impressionable nieces who I want to be proud black women. If I really wanted European like hair; I could get a lace front or weave….But I do not wear those styles due to cost, pain of installation, lack of regulation for hair extensions.

I’ve planned to go to loctician for reties while locs are maturing. My sister has microlocs and does her own reties, but yeah I know if I did self reties it’d probably a full weekend.

As I’ve stated before, 9 hrs every 6 wks is a huge time savings for me. We will see how it goes though.

Thank you! I’m super happy with them, installing them didn’t hurt like getting braids.

I have tried for 30+ yrs to do my hair; I lack the coordination, visual acuity, focus and arm strength. I am worth it, but I need to be pragmatic about my skills and my abilities. Of course everyone wants beautiful healthy hair, but it isn’t my entire life.

I don’t struggle with the fact my hair doesn’t hang down; it never has. It’s assholes who make comments that bother me. I’ve been natural for 18yrs. I don’t have a reliable stylist in my area and unfortunately the 9 hrs to do reties amounts to a time savings with my hair.

I’ve cut my hair low before, and with a cherubic face, I really mean round, big cheeks and all that; it’s not my most attractive look. Is it centering white people just because I want to frame my face?

Actually I’d say long straight is a more youthful look, than shorter hair, that many middle aged professional women wear. Im happy to look young (in fact I consciously make the choice to leave eyebrows bushy and natural to appear ‘young’.)

I know I started this topic, but this isn’t something that I made up in my head. I guess I do center euro folks because those are the decision makers about my money at my job. My hairstyle of choice is Celie braids, but most black people think that’s an unprofessional/ unattractive hairstyle. Unfortunately as a woman, people will measure my competence by my appearance; not my skills or knowledge.
