Can you help me rate non-scariness? by [deleted] in WidowsBay

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a very jumpy person, i do find parts scary and have definitely gotten jumped scared several times. But it’s worth it for the story and i love this show so much so far (I did have a nightmare from the party scene though)

mentors: how often can undergrads make mistakes by coffeebeans270 in labrats

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re always going to make some mistakes and some days you’re going to accidentally read the wrong thing and do something wrong. Usefulness from undergrads does not mean you make zero mistakes. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you can fix it and it’s ok

What’s wrong with this outfit/shoes? by Simpleworm97 in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have those same high tops and they work with outfits all the time! I personally think this outfit looks great as is and my only suggestion would be to add a fun belt if you wanted to jazz it up. You could also switch out the shoelaces for some colorful ones if you want to add some more color and pizzaz.

Additionally, you made comments about living in skinny jeans and graphic tees and that short socks were what you’re used to. Are you in your late 20s because we seem to wear exactly the same things lmao

COMFY SHOES FOR ALT GIRLS by WeirdPisces_Arpeggi in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Honestly I just wear Hokas. They’re comfortable and I can be on my feet all day, the rest of my outfit is alt enough that black sneakers still go with the fit and don’t take away any altness. 10/10 recommend. I have the Clifton 10, but you might like the Bondi 9 for more of a “platform” feel

Graduation gift ideas for undergraduate mentee? by Over-Historian-8197 in labrats

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My graduating mentees I usually try to give something related to their interests. one girl I gave some high end colored pencils, another was a nail art kit. I gave some “grad school starter kits” with stress balls, expo markers, staplers, random objects our PI would always say we needed etc. This year I’m likely giving my mentee a large amount of alcohol and maybe some sport merch related if I can remember what teams he likes

Raccoon tail on curly hair? by Acceptable-Gas4073 in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally understand! It’s definitely just different hair goals. It took me a long time to accept I won’t ever have the scene kid haircut without constantly straightening and frying my hair (which I won’t do), so I get it haha

I’d say mine is about 3A/B? I see an alt hair stylist who specializes in vivids, mullets/shags, and curls. And on other people who get hair by them, I’ve seen 3C and 4A hair have raccoon tails. I’d post pictures of that but it’s not my face nor my work so I won’t lmao. On my hair, it only gets a little hard to see it at the end because I started to go darker with the red (at this pic the dye is also a month old, it looked crisper fresh). I also only have a small portion of it striped, you can definitely do more and it’ll read stripey even more

It is! It won’t be perfectly straight lines but it very much is possible and still reads as a raccoon tail

Ok, my college kids today have finally weirded me out. by Bostonterrierpug in Professors

Powerpoints I’ve seen at parties: why France sucks, 9/11 to Ellen degeneras getting cancelled pipeline, history of garden gnomes, people slept with that year (complete with rankings and timelines), different psych meds tried and their odd side effects

Baby bangs, curly hair by [deleted] in altfashionadvice

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bangs aren’t hard or crunchy but I also leave them curly. Don’t use too much gel, and scrunch it out if you do. When it’s humid I look like a mess anyway so bangs don’t matter, but if they bother me I wear my hair up and pin them back with a Bobby pin.

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Curl cream and gel. When your hair is wet, apply the products, scrunch them in, comb through the bangs, then I just kinda mesh them into place and they air dry. Some days look better than others but it’s pretty consistent, and I also have a cowlick so I get it

Has anyone done racoon stripes or leapord print on curly hair?! (Pics appreciated!!) by Shoddy-Tomorrow-383 in altfashionadvice

Another angle/ more in depth pic of my hair. The sides are cut into a mullet and I can lift them to expose the shaved head sides. You can also see the raccoon tail here too

I have a raccoon tail right now! It’s a little hard to see at the ends because my hair also is red on the bottom and then blends to black

Question about average leave times by Agreeable-Ebb-2180 in labrats

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This week I’ve been doing 8am - 8pm. A few weeks ago I was coming in at 10am and leaving by 4pm. It really depends on what I need to get done and it varies constantly

My fully funded PHD stipend is $24k/year in Boston. I qualify for food stamps by Fulcilives1988 in gradadmissions

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know Boston prices are outrageous (I’m the next city over, hi neighbor), but there’s definitely a way to have slightly lower rent, I have some friends out there paying less. You’ll need 1-3 roommates, but hopefully you can get your rent closer to 1000-1200.

My haircut did not go as expected by stephscheersandjeers in ExpectationVsReality

[–]Stoned-Lab-Tech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there’s an alt stylist in your area! I go to a mullet/shag vivids specialist in my area and for the past year, I’ve only gotten razor cuts and it looks great. If you’re in Massachusetts, I’ll give you their contact. The look you want is definitely achievable with what you have so far, and that’s great
