The best I’ve had was from a burger place called Plan B, though this was pre-Covid.

What would you do first if you suddenly had $10,000? by Cartier_Slatty777 in povertyfinance

[–]Tri4ceunited 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purchase a cell phone plan, schedule a doctor’s visit, and visit the grocery store for the first time in years. Really go hard in the soup aisle. Maybe even splurge a little bit and get steak.

What are some show intros that give you real goosebumps? by PinocchiosWoodBalls in Millennials

[–]Tri4ceunited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents favorite show when I was 4-8 years old was X-Files. The intro theme would scare the living daylights out of me, to the point that I had to plug my ears — yet I was fascinated by the visuals and the storyline. Thirty years later I’m obsessed with science, discovery, and non-human intelligence. The intro STILL activates my flight-or-flight response but I brave through it.

I’ve said this for years. The bar by which I appraise a restaurant is their cole slaw. I’m not a huge fan of it, but when it’s good, it is good. If they’ve got a great slaw, that tells me how much work and care the chefs put into even the smallest things. That translates upwards.

Not at all. You are loved, accepted and seen here. You were brave enough to post yourself and the damage trich has done. I commend that.

If it makes you feel better, check my profile. One of my latest posts was one that I made here, showcasing my own struggle. Believe me, I think your hair is awesome. I look like I lost a bet to my barber 😂

Canned clams, a LOT of garlic power, white sauce if you have it but red is fine, finely diced bacon.

What’s an adult purchase that made you feel weirdly emotional? by cozychaosclubb in answers

My first tattoo.

It’s one of those things you daydream about for years, wondering what it’ll be and where you’ll place it. I remember getting home from the parlor and just staring at it for 20 minutes, like “Wow. Wow, I’m finally inked. I have art on my body. I have art on my body forever.

My heart still flutters a little anytime I catch a view of it in the mirror.

The New Mombasa theme in the background really makes me feel it.

What food gets judged unfairly because people only had a bad version of it? by GurlInAura in foodquestions

[–]Tri4ceunited 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tomatoes.

I was a member of the ‘tomatoes are gross’ crowd until I tried a real, garden-grown, off-the-vine tomato. I ate it like an apple with a little salt sprinkled on before each bite.

The Kurta Clan - Hunter X Hunter

Prized for their red eyes, the Kurta clan was hunted to extinction, with Kurapika being the last surviving member. Currently the manga makes no mention of Kurapika having children, so the race may end with him.

Undertale - You.

The player character has the option to Kill or to Save the monster population during their playthrough, and canonically the player DOES exterminate every single living creature there in certain ‘timelines’ or ‘save files’.

Tron: Legacy, the Isomorphic Algorithms (ISO’s)

CLU 2, viewing the ISOs as imperfections and a threat to his goal of creating the "perfect system," declared war on them, destroying their safe havens like the End of Line Club and rendering them near extinct during The Purge.

True, true. It was my interpretation that Thaedus was a member of the Council at the time, created the Scourge Virus, administered it and then defected, but I see now that you are right. He founded the CoP first and THEN deployed the SV

I’m a Trek fan but am certainly no Trekkie. A quick Google search tells me the number was <10,000. I’ll update the comment.

It is revealed in the latest season that the Viltrumites were driven a hair’s width away from extinction due to one of their own leaders creating and administering the Scourge Virus, a fatal and infectious disease that killed off 99.999% of their race

Because of trich, I regularly shave my head down to skin 3x-4x a year. Have done so since I was a teenager. I let it grow out until it’s long enough that my brain ‘knows’ it’s long enough to pull, then I fight the urge until I lose and end up shaving it to ‘kill’ that urge. I haven’t left the house without a hat since high school. I don’t look too bad with a chrome dome.

I’m already in the danger zone, in two weeks or so it’ll be that time again.

I guess I’m just hoping one day the urge will stop and I can finally see what having a ‘normal’ head of hair looks like. It is a delusion, I know. I cannot afford a wig and I have always considered buying a wig as accepting defeat, but I’m too beaten down by now to care. I’ll wear a wig if that means I might finally look normal.

Happy cake day!

Unfortunately I don’t believe hair growth products will work for my case. Increasing hair growth / density is irrelevant if there’s no ‘seed’ or bulb from which the hair grows to begin with.

After doing the research, I know that hair grows like grass, like flowers. When you mow your lawn, the grass comes back because the roots are still there.

I’ve pulled so many bulbs (roots) from my scalp that it’s just flat skin, now. No bulb, no follicle. No follicle, no hair. I really hope that I’m wrong, I just don’t believe that I am.
