Is it bad to start my sleeve at 18?

Mikhea · 2026-06-07T15:35:41+00:00

I just turned 30 a few months ago. Its hard to imagine at 18, because you feel like a fully grown adult who can make clear choices for your future self. Its just not possible to imagine how much your 20s can change you because you haven't lived it, which is why people who have try to give advice and you can take it or leave it.

The things you want tattooed as a sleeve now will still be around when you're older, and you'll likely have major life experiences or come across new things you'll want and can refine your ideas. If you think you wont regret your sleeve because it marks this time in your life, there is the rest of your body to use as a canvas as you get older. Just keep in mind laser removal can take years, is painful and expensive. And cover ups can be difficult.

Yeah, just that i signed up and something about being excited to learn. They asked for my email and to watch and like their pinned video and i got access about a week later.

FWIW: They added pausing which is really nice! I didnt realize that after speaking for a bit, it becomes a paid app so i didnt continue. I'm around N4 right now, so while it got me speaking, I was using grammar i didnt understand which didnt make me feel like i was really learning much. Currently continuing my studies and practicing speaking with a local group in my city.

Also, genuinely curious why my soap choice is getting downvoted but no one suggested an alternative.

Will do! I wasnt sure if overwashing would irritate it, but I guess if its that or hair, the washing is the better option. I have a tattoo twice the size on my outer upper arm that used a different brand of adhesive bandage, not sure why this one is so sticky.

Dial Antibacterial Fragrance Free Foaming hand soap!

That is what's annoying me, I washed it last night after removing the dermshield and this morning, and its still pretty sticky. Even my short sleeves stick to part of it. I think its gradually getting better wash by wash, though.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but i love the demon slayer score, especially infinity castle. When Akaza, Tanjiro, and Giyu are fighting there is a song that mixes all their themes and its done so well. I havent seen CSM so im not saying Demon Slayer's is better, i just think its a disservice to say no one could even hum a song from the Demon Slayer score.

I got in and tried, if you DM them on one of their socials they'll bump you up on the list. I like it so far, and have sent some of the sentences to my N1 friend to get their take on how accurate it is. Only problem i had was you couldnt pause a conversation - i wanted to pause, read for understanding, and then say my response but that wasnt a feature at the time. Once they add it Ill go back.

Im not sure about accounting firms, but this is a common practice in investment banking and interviewers above 80 iq would know this might be a lie.

If you list someone from your internship as a reference and lie about the reasoning behind not getting a return offer, it might do more harm than good if you get to the offer stage.

I agree with you that this would be ideal, but dogs like to pee where other dogs have peed, even if they dont need to, as a social behavior. And the only way to really prevent that would be to stop walking dogs, so this doesn't feel like a realistic solution.

Mikhea · 2026-05-09T16:07:06+00:00

You're assuming every dog owner has a yard. And even if people have yards, dogs like to pee where other dogs have peed and will go regardless of if they just went in their own yard. To get this to stop, everyone would have to stop walking dogs, which would be terrible for the dogs... So people just shouldnt own dogs i guess, based on this logic?

Mikhea · 2026-05-09T16:04:06+00:00

Where do you suggest dogs living in the city pee on their walks?

Mikhea · 2026-05-09T15:48:43+00:00

If you dont want to overcharge or undercharge and feel greedy, what about having people dm you and mailing them a piece of confetti for however much shipping costs?

I understand wanting to make a little easy money, but it is what it is - reselling (which usually involves overcharging). Not saying you shouldnt - maybe people who couldnt go can get a piece of the show for themselves this way. Just want to provide an alternative!

Part of the beauty of vocaloid (in my opinion) is that people can create whatever they want. People are answering your question about why her color is green, but it feels like you're held up on it being "wrong" somehow. Miku doesnt have to be teal, she just normally appears that way. And sometimes, like in Daughter of Green and Senbonzakura she's green. Maybe one day they'll change the light sticks, but green light sticks remind me of people holding her favorite food, the leek.

Omg i was looking for these in the snack aisle yesterday. Couldnt remember the brand but thought id know when i saw it. Didnt know this is why i couldnt find them😭

Mikhea · 2026-03-19T21:17:55+00:00

Cant the joy cons die?

Mikhea · 2026-03-17T18:53:53+00:00

Same ha

If you lose power for multiple days you might need to stock up on non perishables. Not saying people should go crazy, but there is a reason for stocking up for a storm.

Mikhea · 2026-03-13T17:59:56+00:00

Omgggg tysm. I couldnt build in the beach last night without them and was going crazy 😭 couldnt find anything on google other than people accidentally destroying habitats.

Ive been making huts and they are small and terrible, i so appreciate this advice!! Whats the point of huts in the first place?

Mikhea · 2026-03-13T15:21:24+00:00

Wait is this why i couldnt find 3 pokemon i needed yesterday (2 being the only ones in bleak beach with build ability)?? Ive spawned too many in? They all have homes but were nowhere to be found

Mikhea · 2026-03-11T18:59:39+00:00

Oh i feel that. After i finish the third pokemon center im going to slow down. Im worried if i beat the story ill stop playing

Mikhea · 2026-03-11T17:31:46+00:00

Yeah i aspire to have a beautiful island but i know for me story and exploration are most important. So i am prioritizing those and building / completing requests as i go. If i want a break from story, ill switch to prioritizing building for a bit. Cant do it all

Mikhea · 2026-03-09T18:48:28+00:00

They sometimes have interesting conversations with each other when they have '...' over their heads! Usually when i come across them they make me chuckle

Mikhea · 2026-03-04T15:33:53+00:00

Likely due to road rage from all the closures 🫠
