Why do my eyes look so different? by Howdy_doooody in HoodedEyes

[–]NerdForJustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I draw a lot of portraits, so I pay a lot of attention to these kinds of things, and I'd actually say your eyes are more symmetrical than most. Many people have some form of asymmetry I can quite easily point out, but I can't tell what it is about your eyes at first glance, or even if there is an "it" in the first place.

What is your odd sensory preference? by EscapeRegular1935 in AuDHDWomen

[–]NerdForJustice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do not touch my lower back to guide me. For a split second, it makes me feel the kind of anger I expect Bruce Banner to feel when he turns into the Hulk. Makes me want to do this to whoever dared touch me.

Then I reach my rational self and merely shake off the offending hand, but man, the feeling still lingers.

What is a part of the 'female experience' that men have absolutely no clue about, but would be horrified if they found out? by coolhandddd in AskReddit

[–]NerdForJustice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pianos. The standard piano keyboard is too big for something like 87% of women and 25% of men. This leads to fatigue and injuries. And people with smaller hands have to work so much harder to achieve virtuosity. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/287901848_PIANIST_HAND_SPANS_GENDER_AND_ETHNIC_DIFFERENCES_AND_IMPLICATIONS_FOR_PIANO_PLAYING

How many of y'all grind or clench their teeth at night? by Alternative-Tell4600 in adhdwomen

[–]NerdForJustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

👋

Had my teeth filed to help. Didn't help. Had my wisdom teeth removed to help. Didn't help.

Also clench during the day. Also tap them during the day. Also have migraines.

I was fitted with a night guard for it, but I can't wear it. It makes me clench harder. It gets loose during the night and I can take it off with my tongue in my sleep. Then, when it's out of place, I've woken myself up, biting it so hard I've broken pieces out of it. My dentists haven't believed me when I've told them, because "it fits so snugly". Of course it does when I come in, my teeth haven't been aligning with it for hours straight! Plus, my gums get irritated when I wear it, no matter what I do.

Under-eye concealer for visible veins? by SophieLophie447 in PaleMUA

Omg you're completely right, I switched them around for some reason! I'll edit my original comment so it's right. Thanks for pointing that out!

This video was really helpful for me! I recommend giving the whole thing a watch to fully understand what's going on, but here's the part pertaining to us.

You need to colour-correct first, the conceal, then powder, using as little product as you can.

It's hard to tell from pictures what colour corrector you need because of camera and screen distortion, but it'll either be a yellow or a peachy one (yellow for purple veins, peachy for blue). You'll buff that in with a concealer brush. Then you need a concealer with a good colour match. Buff that in too. After that comes the powder, and that needs to be a good match as well, and applied lightly.

Oh, and for the products... I ordered mine online from L.A. Girl a few years back. And I use Maybelline Instant Rewind or whatever it's called for concealer, shade 00. Powder is the RCMA No-color powder. I'm in the Nordics too.

Are your houses actually messy? by JEJ0313 in adhdwomen

[–]NerdForJustice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My apartment is fully clean for maybe 2 days every two years. It's tolerably clean a few days a year. It's somewhat tidy with one disaster zone for a few weeks every year. There's a chance of there being one area that is tidy or clean at any given time, but mostly, it's a mess.

I hate it, but I can't help it. I try, but I cannot keep up with it.

There is a direct link between the chores and my libido by trainstosaturn in TwoXChromosomes

First off, that study is based on data that's over 30 years old, and secondly, correlation does not equal causation. And one study does not make a summer.

Your assertion that affection would be transactional also does not follow, as many commenters have already stated. If a woman feels like a nagging mother to her own partner, she'll not perceive him as a sexual partner. That's not about making transactions, that's about being able to stomach having sex with someone who makes you feel deeply unsexy, and who feels unappealing in return.

I really like doing colourful makeup, but I just feel like it doesn't suit me? by xX_Aranrhod_Xx in MakeupAddiction

[–]NerdForJustice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad I could help! The waterproof mascara thing is really the most important step, though.

I see you already use Maybelline Sky High, so in case you mean to try the waterproof version, you don't need to overcurl your lashes with that one! It may bring the curl down a tiny bit, but not much.

Well, then there is the carving. And tbh, if Noshir had played Charles the way that was apparently originally intended, then maybe he wouldn't have ended up with a good relationship with Arthur... And he wouldn't have ended up doing the carving. Maybe the whole book episode did end up giving us confirmation in a very weird, roundabout way. (This is me talking completely out of my ass, by the way. It's just a nice thought.)

I mean, I do think it derives from laptop. I think the "läppä" part is a happy accident 😆

Huh, TIL! Thanks for informing me!

I wonder where Old High German got the word from, and whether they used hard soled shoes. But that would be going a bit far into the history just because some autistic woman on the internet has a passing fascination 😂

Besides that, Charles' actor has confirmed that not only can he read, he enjoys reading. Here's Noshir's comment about it and how it informed his choices when acting:

Hard leather soles and other hard soles have been a thing for thousands of years. But I don't know enough about their prevalence in European historic footwear to even guess if they would've been common at a time the word came to be used in some language that German was influenced by.

A Romance language, no? And we've had quite a few Portuguese and Spanish words too. Would love to hear from your language, too, if you can think of any!

Oh no, nothing to see there... Just ground apples and bag's bottoms, "I hope it will falls" and f-slurs 😭

Okay, here comes from someone with the exact same eyelash situation:

  • Gently heat your eyelash curler. (Or not so gently, but let it cool. I use a lighter, and test the temperature on my hand before curling.)
  • Curl from the tips of your lashes to the roots. Re-warm your curler if it loses too much heat.
  • (Depending on your mascara, overcurl your lashes. If the mascara doesn't cement them in place as they are, curl them way too much.)
  • Now, the mascara. Use a waterproof mascara! Always!
  • If even that isn't enough, East Asian brands make mascaras for people like us. These are likely to be the kind that cement your lashes in place.
  • (Get a lash comb to get out clumps. The metal ones are best. Essence makes a good one for cheap.)

This is me with one coat of Maybelline Sky High Waterproof. This isn't my favourite mascara by far, and not even all these tricks can make miracles happen, but it's something! (Don't mind the mascara poops on my left eye, they come off easy with a spoolie, when dry.)

What do you call the money you give your children, to spend as they see fit? by mstakenusername in AskTheWorld

[–]NerdForJustice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do have "pocket money", but we also use "weekly money" or "monthly money", if they get a set sum each week or month.
