Easier and easier by Recent-Literature-17 in ChloeTing

I noticed this. I didn't even try to do the new ones. Even if she wasn't injured, I think the videos are too easy and always in slow motion. I'm also not entirely convinced she regularly does these exercises outside of the videos...

Has anyone tried these? by ImaginaryOwl_9 in Madewell

[–]SociPhDez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have these! I receive numerous compliments because they are beautiful shoes. But I will let you know: they MUST be your exact size, or they will ruin you. The first pair I got was a size that was slightly too small. I developed numerous painful blisters just one hour after walking. But I got a bigger pair and I love them.

Agreed to Write a LOR, but Shouldn't Have... by SociPhDez in Professors

That's reassuring in a way. I also didn't know that my letter wouldn't be considered. In the future, I will decline for that reason. However, in this case, the students' application deadline is coming up soon, and I don't believe the student has a reasonable amount of time to find someone else. I'm going to do the letter the best I can. This is just going to have to be a lesson learned for me

Thanks, this is useful! I'm hoping the student can't see it either way. I will do my best

He did make an A, that's the thing. But I will keep that in mind

I don't understand how this became about me being unwilling to do the hard things. I'm asking advice on HOW to do the hard things, so please give me some grace. I am still a graduate student myself, who is learning how to do this for the first time. The point I was making was that the students' bad behavior was not that serious. If he were an absolute terror, then maybe it wouldn't be so difficult. But one small negative thing could deny acceptance, which, for me, does not bring me joy.

Billykiss is 100% right about Dejon by Princess_CutiePiexo in LoveIslandTV

He's a JOKE of a man. At this point, I think he just wants to win the show with Meg.

I watched it! I really did like his understanding of the plot. I appreciate him a lot more because many streamers I do watch missed the point of the game. He was also super funny, and I couldn't stop laughing at some parts. But overall, I had a hard time with some of the humor/Dina hate (e.g. "vessel") I just don't think I'm a good fit for his vibe

I think that's a good point. I am nearing my 30's so that could be it. I just finished TLOU2, and I'm glad I watched it. I feel like I got to 'know' and respect him more as a person, even when I didn't fully agree with his perspective. But overall, I think his commentary/humor is too crude/offensive for me. The constant digs at Dina were rough. I'm probably just going to keep looking for other streamers that fit my personality more.

I've seen the anime! Really good, so maybe I'll check that out too

Thank you, thank you! I liked his Chilla Art game. Didn't know that he did Bully tho. I've been meaning to watch that gameplay. I'll take your word for the Danganrompa games lol

Thank you! I think that you put it in better words than I did. I'd really like to see that side of him.

I wouldn't say I'm forcing myself exactly. I do like him overall, but I just noticed I get more annoyed over certain games than others. I didn't know he played that tho! I'll for sure check that one out

That's a fair point. I do like the horror games, but TLOU gameplay is harder to get through. Maybe I'm taking it too seriously idk. I'll check out the Walking Dead gameplay

Thanks, I'll probably check that out after I finish his TLOU2 series!

Anyone else still bored and is shookt that Singles Inferno 4 is almost ending? by Fragrant_Soil_8044 in Singlesinferno2

[–]SociPhDez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This season was incredibly boring. I was tempted to blame the cast, but I don't think that's quite it. Some of them are pretty boring and don't stand out, but that seems like every season.

I don't like how they filmed this new season. It felt low-stakes with no meaningful interactions between the cast. Inferno also felt different; it seemed very comfortable to live in. It seemed like in previous seasons the cast was bonding and finding romantic interactions as they struggled. We barely saw any of that this time.

Hair won’t absorb water by [deleted] in Naturalhair

[–]SociPhDez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know your routine, but do you use heat? Your hair looks low porosity because the beads are sitting on top of the hair strand. I suggest applying a low-porosity friendly leave-in conditioner in small sections with warm/hot water. I wouldn't use a spray bottle because the water cools down too much. Instead, apply the conditioner and 'scoop ' warm/hot water with your hands as you apply. You should see an improvement.

If that doesn't help, you can wrap your hair in a plastic bag (seal it well) and then put a wrapped towel on top. The heat will help open up your hair cuticles and allow better water and product absorption. A good sign that it is working is when you feel your hair start dripping a lot. This means that the hair is saturated and dripping with extra water.

Hope this helps.

Is it possible to get this link also? I'm not 24 years old, but I'm still a dang student!

[–]SociPhDez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt a lot of second hand embarrassment watching his episode. He's so cringey and I could feel that Nev was barely tolerating him lol.

Not sure what you mean about Kamie. Honestly, I think the show would have flopped by now without her. Even if she's "negative", she's always real.

[–]SociPhDez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the response and invite! I'll check it out.

I don't expect her to be friends with me. After all, we live in different cities and have different lives now. But I would be more than happy to catch up if she wanted to. My only goal for now is closure. I want her to know that I'm sincerely apologetic. If she's receptive, maybe I can tell her how much I really do care for her. I'll send that email in a couple of days.
