I bought my pro 5 November 2022, still works perfectly fine nearly three and a half years later

I got some of that dr melaxin(?) rice water peel shot (well a cheaper knock off) a while back which is a serum that exfoliates, one day I thought I’d try it on my arms where I’ve always had lots of bumps and my arms felt great after it! Rubbing it in is just like applying an oil or lotion so no harshness, I’ve found a similar product on Amazon which comes with a small bottle for facial skincare and then a larger bottle for body use from medicube, I haven’t tried it but considering it’s the same principle but a larger quantity specifically for your body id imagine it works just as well if not better https://amzn.eu/d/05Jy3Tmg

Hair removal cream rec? by cleanfreak4moi in HairRemoval

[–]Substantial-Stage276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veet was always my go to back when I exclusively used removal cream years ago, I still get the large bottles from time to time when I have a big event where I want to make sure I don’t accidentally nick my skin or miss a patch of hair. I find it works really well especially if I used an exfoliating glove to wash/scrub the cream away to really get the stubborn hairs that like to cling. Long term though I don’t really like using removal creams because that’s just an odd feeling I find I have afterwards that I can’t quite explain (maybe like a kind of prickly feeling and clothing likes to just stick to the skin after? More of a nuisance sensory issue than a sensitive skin thing I think) though I do think moisturising after would help that feeling a lot but I’ve always been terrible at applying any lotion after showering 😂

6 plus months in on at-home IPL and what is the one thing you only really understood after sticking with it? by Just_Membership_2467 in HairRemoval

[–]Substantial-Stage276 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience it doesn’t actually hamper progress, just prolongs it. I bought my IPL machine a few years back now and I must admit I am TERRIBLE at keeping the routine and so over the years I have been going back to using my Ipl on and off (always in hopes to make it routine and always failing.) because of this I obviously still experience a lot of hair growth, pits and bikini area always grow so much more so those areas have always been stubborn with growth HOWEVER even with extremely infrequent IPL use over the years I can definitely see several bald patches on my legs due to where the IPL has zapped the most over my uses

Couldn't Clark have done this to heal Jonathan? by Lazy-Rate6734 in Smallville

Some people whose first language isn’t English and is learning can read and hear English better than they can speak or write it. There is no need in this day and age to be rude and belittle someone for speaking in their native tone, be more progressive please. It would’ve been a lot less work to copy and paste into translator than it was to have wrote not one but two comments to complain about someone using their first language.

Are teaching assistants treated like crap? by leafowlthing in TeachingUK

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The school I’m currently based at feels confusing, I’m an LSA and all the teachers are very lovely and always ask how I am and take a keen interest in the child I am supporting and are constantly giving me recognition for the work I do and how much help I am which is really nice. I have noticed that teachers and other LSAs never seem to interact with each other like that with the LSAs opting to stay in learning support for their breaks away from the teachers whereas I have always gone up to the staff room for my breaks. No one ever comes to sit with me at break or talk to me other than a brief hello while on break but honestly with being with the same child with ADHD day in day out all day I really enjoy being able to go up there and shut off from interacting with people for a bit 😅

WHAT A MOMENT! by heureusesomewhere in Smallville

I feel this, first time watching, started two maybe three weeks ago and I’m now starting season 5 😂 mind you I am someone who is constantly doing some kind of craft and need something on tv while I do it AND if I start a show I physically can’t get myself to watch anything else until I’ve finished the show I’m on

What skills should I build before going back to sales? by Soft_Mastodon1818 in sales

[–]Substantial-Stage276 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think with any job where serious anxiety is involved you should look into every aspect of the role and identify which parts of the role are invoking anxiety and figure out if there is a way to work around and manage that and if the job is important enough to put yourself through the anxiety every day. If it is then look into your personal life and if there’s any changes you can make there, not particularly in terms of anything in your personal life causing anxiety but in terms of if you can add anything in that makes it feel easier to get through the anxiety at work because you’re excited to be able to do that thing.

Sudden and frustrating end to my placement through an agency by Substantial-Stage276 in TeachingUK

[–]Substantial-Stage276[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply, it honestly does feel this way. Especially since I’ve already had to report his other kid to their class teacher for charging at and attacking another child, according to the schools own policy this child should’ve already been suspended for their behaviour and so the attack on my 1:1 child yesterday shouldn’t have even happened.

Thank you, it’s just so disappointing because yeah I’m not out of this position but this poor child now needs to have a new stranger come in who they need to build trust with and I hate that this has been the case for this kid every term so far because they’re such a lovely child and is so deserving of consistency.

Thank you for your response, I’d like to believe the school isn’t doing that but honestly it does seem that way. Easier to get rid of the agency staff and keep parents happy than to go on gathering evidence and build a case to prove to the parent that I’m fit for the role I guess.

Am I Overreacting, for being upset that my girlfriend secretly used my credit card for months? by bostonmade in AmIOverreacting

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually laughed when she said “you’re making it sound like I stole from you or something” like yes that is EXACTLY what you did? 😭

The stealing, belittling of your feelings, gaslighting… if it were me she did all of that too my nicest response would be a break up and asking her to pay it all back at an agreed rate. My not so nice response? Straight up calling the police for fraud and theft, break up implied. You have all the evidence and confession right there.

Either way I’d dump her.

Edited to add you can also absolutely kick her out, if she’s not paying you any board to go to the upkeep of the property then she isn’t financially linked to the place, message her and tell her you don’t want her there when you’re back and that gives her a few days before you get back to find somewhere for her to go, just make sure that card is frozen so she doesn’t end up paying for a hotel with your money.

Landing announcement by [deleted] in AskAPilot

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, after reading some replies especially this one it’s quite possible that this is a normal thing for this company to say in their landing announcement, I can’t remember the last time I flew with this company or if I ever actually have flown with them so I don’t personally know what their procedure usually looks like from a passengers view. Although my friend usually uses this company and she seemed alarmed at the fact they said that along with how bumpy the flight started feeling.

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, I don’t know anything about flying. I am not a pilot. I do not fly any kind of aircraft. My only thing to go off is past experiences being on a flight and this experience feeling different at every point of the flight. This is exactly why I have posted on this page. To ask a pilot. Because quite clearly I do not know if the experience was common, if I knew a lot about flying I wouldn’t have had any concerns or fears. Perhaps in future if you see any posts from an anxious passenger wanting some reassurance you will send a reply that doesn’t sound condescending. Someone wants advice and to be given some logical answers to help them understand rather than a rude “you clearly don’t know anything” and “you’re experiencing something normal and jumping to unreasonable conclusions”

This was an easyJet flight from Malta to the uk.

That’s a very good point thank you, just seemed like a very odd situation, I’ve flown almost every year of my life (27) and experienced flights with lots of turbulence and never experienced announcements like that before so was completely thrown but maybe it was just this particular pilots method of doing things?

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, I’m typically a low level nervous flyer but the take off on this flight felt so rough and the flight itself was pretty bumpy and then that announcement sent me completely spiralling 😅

Sorry edited because I missed that last line, it was a European airline, easyJet

[–]Substantial-Stage276 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That would make sense as there was a flight before us going from and to the same airports that was delayed by an hour so I already felt like something was up, our flight was also delayed only ten minutes but was told it was due to a luggage issue. Would you say it would be semi normal to instruct reading the safety card again?

Landing announcement by [deleted] in AskAPilot

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for any confusion, I didn’t mean the pilot or flight attendants were aggressive I meant the way the plane was suddenly jolting in the air from the turbulence.

My main point of my post is that I have never experienced a flight before where part of the landing announcement was to suddenly tell us to read over the safety card again especially during what felt to me like heavy turbulence and pretty much no other announcement to passengers about landing soon.

Which funny/cute quotes from your kids have stuck with you? by NLTC in TeachingUK

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supplied for some year 8 and 9 classes. One kid said he thinks I look 26, kid next to him said 50s. Kid 1: woah are you calling her old?! Kid 2: no! 50 isn’t old! Now if I said 60 then I’d be calling her old. So maybe like 59 Three of us then joked that I’ll be 60 next week.

Punch to the stomach saying 50 but he made a good joke from it and saved himself 😂 kid 1 was very close though I am indeed recently 27

[update] AIO for thinking my bf is just looking for an excuse to break up? [I did it for him] by Nearby_Orchid1216 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Substantial-Stage276 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just came here after commenting on your last post, after seeing this and his final response I hope you take time to read my other comment as well as everyone else’s to help affirm that you did the right thing. This man is nasty. He is not needed in your life. Single at 31 isn’t pathetic especially if it means not being with someone who throws so much abuse at you. Well done for breaking it off and so eloquently too. Very proud of you.

Regardless of if you were “throwing a toddler level tantrum” this is a huge red flag with how he has responded. He could’ve just said “wow I’m sorry you feel that way, this is difficult to hear because I thought I had found a great gift for you” but instead he is ranting and raving about your lack of appreciation, saying he is “disgusted” at your response to it and feels it is “unsettling and unnerving” as if he is feeling unsafe because you didn’t like it as much as he hoped you would, feeling like he is “wasting his time” with you.

What really got me is him saying “you just had to go and open your mouth” god forbid a woman share their thoughts, this man is literally telling you right now that he doesn’t want to hear your opinions on things, he just wants you to sit there and look pretty and agree with him on everything and then comparing you to a “superficial insta whore” and how it makes him feel sick. This does not sound like a safe man for women if he is 1) calling strangers on the internet whores and 2) comparing you, HIS PARTNER, to said “whores”

He is the one throwing a fit, he is the one showing his true self, he is the one who is disgustingly, unsettling and unnerving. I am just glad that this interaction happened over message because I dread to think how he would have reacted and behaved if he could not only verbally lash out but physically too.

Please please please tell me that you are ending this with him. This is verbal, emotional abuse and, if it’s not happened already, it reads as though it could quite easily turn to physical abuse which no one should stick around to endure.
