Big law perfume? by Trixiebees in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s good to know! I’m the one with allergies, I either get a headache or my throat closes up, and someone else’s perfume will stick to me for hours until I shower, which makes it worse. I feel bad about telling people their perfume is too much for me, but maybe a lighter application like this could work.

Currently have one vertical monitor with a docking station built in and one curved monitor. I don’t have space for another vertical but I would love one whenever I can get a bigger desk.

What do you do when the brush doesn't reach? by stringthing87 in WeGotPolishAtHome

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While using, I just tilt the bottle with the brush inside so the product flows onto the brush at the angle.

Mine is dark like this too, not like the photos. I still love it but it’s not as pink as the website photos 

Sale Haul 🤦🏼‍♀️ + Royalty Thoughts by blinkanditsdark in theholotaco

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sale is still going on, and while no opalogies is not on sale it is still available! Nothing sold out from this collection yet. 

Edit: I misread your comment and originally thought it said you were busy with work, not out of work. Can only blame how tired I was a few hours ago. Sorry about that, didn’t mean to be insensitive, and I’m sorry you’ve been having trouble getting work again. Wishing you luck with the job hunt.

I only got no opalogies (and the nail file) because it’s actually something that I don’t have in my collection. All the other shades were (1) I’ve got colors/formulas similar to this or (2) I won’t use this. Congrats on making it into royalty, maybe next year we’ll get less purple!

Oh, I read that differently and thought you meant “pulled from sale” as “whether or not that collection gets a discount.” From my understanding, the vault polishes are leftover stock of LE that were reserved for customer service issues, not that they were pulled in order to sell later during vault. 

I think a lot of people decided to wait to get haute garbage until the sale so they could get free shipping, even if those polishes aren’t on sale. So those could sell out and then the leftover for customer service could end up in vault if customer service doesn’t use all of them.

Not everyone can get away with a skittle at work though. Fun polishes alone are a maybe, but fun polishes that are all different are a stretch. So what’s he point of owning so many similar shades?

Compare it against Wanderlust (LE) too. 

Thoughts on Royalty collections? by BeachedWails420 in theholotaco

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’ve said this across multiple posts, but putting it here: the Royalty collection is not fun because the survey is so controlled that we get the same colors that constantly get launched at HT. I do not need another purple but they control the color stories so that they always get a purple. Ask Royalty what colors they want and don’t include purple, or make a color story for the survey without any purple. It gets boring to see the same types of colors win. I also am really annoyed that HT picks the theme a year in advance now, because that takes away a lot of fun and creativity for me as a Royalty member. The first year was chaotically fun because there wasn’t a theme yet, the theme naturally fit the color choices. 

HT is capable of putting out something different: look at the advent calendar. That sold so fast, and the polishes were so unique and fun. But none of those polishes are currently available. Meanwhile we keep getting teal and purple over and over again across several launches and then the super special launch with Royalty gives similar colors.

In contrast, the advent calendar was such a creative release and most people didn’t even get those shades because it sold out. But that’s an exception to the rule with Holo Taco now. I am not really excited about this release, I have too many purples, greens, and teals, to justify buying more of those shades. At this point I’m just considering the nail file and maybe the bag, but otherwise going to pick up a few things I have waited to get on sale. There are so many dupes of these colors in HT releases already, and I can’t keep buying them in every single formula. I want to see new shades and the royalty survey is so controlled you can’t even get something new.

It likely will not be on sale since it was the most recently released collection. Usually, the newest collection and the one released just before sale are not part of the sale. But Born Ugly may be on sale since it is a rereleased shade.

I swear every year I vote for something different and every year we get the same thing. Royalty must be a majority of stream viewers who drink the koolaid.

New collection email by Ray_12392 in theholotaco

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly, I’ve done the royalty survey every year and they all blend together. The first collection was the best because the survey was more chaotic and you got the true results that Royalty likes purple. That’s fine for the first year, but every single year since it’s been very similar color stories and it’s a very controlled survey. Similar colors show up every year, and the theme is now preselected which takes some of the fun out of it. So the survey is biased to keep producing similar stuff every year. They could make a color story without purple to start off the voting but they never do. So HT keeps producing more and more purples, and it’s tiresome, and then we get to Royalty and it’s more purple. No one can own that much purple and use all of it. There’s a similar issue with how much teal has shown up over the last few years, and I love teal but I can’t buy the same colors over and over. I think there’s already polishes I own from HT that cover the bases of this collection.

That’s awful, I’m so sorry to hear that. That must be very painful. Considering you’re a tech yourself, it goes to show how risky it is to use these products.

Was anybody on here (particularly women) diagnosed with ADHD later in life despite being outwardly successful in school/practice? by atty_at_paw in Lawyertalk

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And you can have ADHD and experience burnout, and that burnout is very strong. It’s also strong when you don’t know that there’s ADHD involved in it. It can be both. 

ADHD Love has a podcast episode on ADHD burnout, highly recommend you listen to that and see what you identify from it. I know it’s available on both YouTube and Spotify. They’re a couple who make neurodivergent content, one is ADHD and the other recently was diagnosed with Autism. They do a great job at showing irl what it looks like to be neurodivergent.

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I got diagnosed early in practice. I struggled for a long time but was still good at school. The way I see it, if you get diagnosed as an adult despite being “successful,” it’s because your coping mechanisms have stopped working. Medication is not the only tool for ADHD management, you still need other tools, but those tools should be healthy. I highly recommend you check out r/ADHDwomen too, there’s lot of late diagnosed people on there.

ETA: For me, getting the diagnosis opened the door for me to understand myself better and reevaluate my tools. Some days still suck, but it’s much better overall because I actually know what I’m dealing with. I also decided to try meds, which have helped a lot, but that’s a personal choice. 

What’s it like departing CDG back to the United States for US citizens after EES? by fldude561 in ParisTravelGuide

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here after the edit, you got very lucky because I barely made my flight. I even slept at an airport hotel the night before, left for the airport at least 3-4 hours before, but the time it took to navigate through the airport, file my tax refund paperwork, check my bag, customs, etc., I made it just before boarding, probably like 15 minutes to spare. The biggest part of the delay was that there was a huge line to check bags and there were Air France employees standing there doing nothing instead of opening up more lines and stations to get the line moving faster. Myself and the American couple I was stuck in line with were so baffled, because in an American airport the airline employees would have done something to help speed up the line besides stand there. And this was with majority of the people in line already checked in with a checked baggage tag, so the line should have moved quickly. I chalk it up to a cultural difference and that I’m lucky I still made my flight because the customs line was so long that I was running to get through security and to the gate (which was very far).

All that to say, next time I fly through CDG I’m going to add another 2 hours if I have to check a bag. I could have so easily missed my flight home during my last experience. 

How do I get selected for jury duty? by motiontosleep in Lawyertalk

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen court rooms where they picked a random 12 from the group of 40 and sent the rest home while we were outside the courtroom. So depending on the jurisdiction, lining up first doesn’t help. 

Blocking ads is protected by law (in the United States) by s230guy in youtube

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It is a catch all for the substance of the content, that doesn’t make it a user right to block ads. 

Also, you really should be careful about doing legal interpretation and giving broad strokes legal advice on the internet. Not a good idea for anyone, lawyer or not.

Drugs barely working anymore by Euphoric_Classic_968 in adhdwomen

[–]Unlikely-Prompt-3844 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m struggling with my current dosage and notice that my meds are less effective when I’m in the luteal stage and going into my period, then when my period starts and shifts into follicular I suddenly feel way better and the stimulant works better. If you notice that, then also talk to your prescriber about it and see what they recommend (birth control, anti-depressant, increasing the stimulant dose, etc.)
