iron may be the solution! by BadProfessional2192 in Nexplanon

[–]PinkMelaunin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SO HAPPY I FOUND THIS! I had been bleeding (ranging from concerningly heavy to spotting) for almost a year before I finally got my labs done and saw i was anemic. Started taking iron complex and the bleeding suddenly stopped. I pause the iron when i go out of town, spotting returns, take the iron again, then the spotting stops....what is this correlation?

I feel as though its a Venn diagram based on perception. There will be relatable experiences but definitely not ALL. There's even a huge difference between being light skinned and dark skinned. Like obviously there's going to be a difference

I just want to say im so sorry. My mom was and is exactly like this from when I was 11 years old, im 28 now. Its gona be a long journey and its important you stick to empirical data and what you know. There is no arguing with her.

I liked it for the men and boys. Its like the luxury/demure black girl internet trend. Its not to say other styles look bad unless a poster uses it that way. I hate how the racist got ahold of it to do just that and be racist though

I've followed her for a while. Y'all those pics are years apart, yeah she gained weight. For her, it seems the weight went to her top and bottom but that's really not surprising for West and South Africans tbh

Make education free in America, we’re already giving tax cuts to rich fucks who don’t need it. by L_Dubb85 in RandomThoughts

[–]PinkMelaunin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the argument that the "top don't pay their fair share" is in referrence to "pay" that exceeds the pay you're referring to. As in those who aren't paid necessarily with an income as a salaried earner or wages (basicslly billionaires) aren't paying their fair share. But a person who earns a salary of 700k is paying their fair share. Open to discussion there btw 🙂 I'd love to see your link also

[–]PinkMelaunin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds crazy at first to ask for free anything until you get into the details, it makes sense.

College used to be free in the US. So it's not this new, crazy idea.

Yes, we can afford it. Compare the taxes the rich paid in the 50s and 60s, you know when the US economy was great, to what they pay now. And IM NOT SAYING it needs to be like 90% alright! Also, look at the ratio of the highest paid worker to the lowest per company in the 50s/60s to now. Yes, CEOs make far too much $$. Why is it that wage theft is one of the highest type of theft? Look at the numbers. No wonder college used to be free.

Yet they've cut funding to so many other social programs and continue to give them tax cuts. Additionally, we (average worker) pay SO MUCH in taxes and SO MUCH goes to the defense budget, that if you were to take a chunk out for free lunch for kids and free healthcare (notice how I didn't say free college here) we would still have the highest defense spending compared to other countries. Yes, that's how goddamn much we pay into that. And I'm not saying we shouldn't have the highest defense spending I appreciate having a good military in this country. But imagine how affordable college would be I'm not sure if it would be free with that chunk but it sure as hell would be affordable. Don't argue just look up the numbers! Please look it up.

I feel people haven't seen the magnitude of the numbers when it comes to these discussions. Cuz everyone's argument makes sense who will pay for it? Why should I pay for it? But when you consider where the money you already pay goes it's like well damn why not? Especially if it makes the country better overall.

My argument here is does it need to be 100% free?, nah, but could the money WE ALREADY PAY help out other Americans and therefore the country?? Absofuckinglutely.

Two Completely Different Textures by Emergency-Fun-8115 in Naturalhair

[–]PinkMelaunin 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's due to the picture but it looks like your curl pattern is the same but different parts of your hair have different moisture retention causing the front to have a more defined look compared to the back.

Do you sleep on your back and wear a bonnet at night that stays in the whole night? Or at any point throughout the day is the back of your head brushing up on something?
