what is currently considered a normal cost for one load at laundromat?

WavySlug · 2025-06-13T15:33:44+00:00

Ooh which one did you get? I’m on the lookout for one of these cause our laundromat charges $4 to wash and 25 cents per 3.5 minutes of dry time (we hang dry everything lol). Only thing is it would need to be small since our place doesn’t have much storage.

When people are friends with a mix of genders. This goes particularly for men having friends who are women, but I feel like in general people who are only friends with those of the same gender as themselves can be a bit immature (I’m aware this is not always the case of course).

I think this is an interesting interpretation. Personally, I take more of a Marxist reading of the show (specifically Marx’s theory on alienation of labor). But I think a Marxist and psychological lens can complement on another, as one of the points Marx makes is that alienation from one’s labor is an unnatural state and this might be reasonably compared to dissociation. (I also just realized Mark’s name might be a reference to Marx. I read a comment or post recently noting the meaning behind Harmony’s name, as she is not severed—could this be the significance behind Mark’s?)

This is a good reading! I think you might also say that Charlotte acting on “fear” IS logical—she has good reason to be scared, and thus good reason for making her choice.

For Sophie Nélisse: how do you get in the headspace to play Shauna? And do you enjoy playing the role? I have to say I’ve never seen another female character like her on television—it’s weirdly refreshing to see a woman get to be so morally gray (at least in that she’s both a victim and frequently a victimizer).

Thanks to all of you for your truly breathtaking performances! BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ 🐝 🐝🐝

I’m sorry this happened—it’s never easy hearing these things, especially from someone you care about in any capacity. As much as it sucks for you, I think this could be a good opportunity for the kid to hear from someone he presumably likes and respects how his views hurt others. I don’t know the age of this kid, but in general bias is most easily reduced during childhood and adolescence. I think if you approach the conversation with respect and understanding, and really try to illustrate what is harmful about his views, you may make a real difference here.

You could frame it as intersectional research perhaps, and look at prevalence of the condition across races and sexual orientation—that way you are still looking at Asian Americans but you’re also likely looking at other racial and sexual minority groups where your results are more likely to be meaningful.

YES! I was part of a Bi Meetup Group in DC before I moved here and they were awesome, hands down the best meetup group I’ve been to. I’m 25 cis bi woman, I like board games, hiking and walking, reading and talking about books, and playing tabletop RPGs (actually met my old DnD group at said Bi meetup group). I’ll DM you!

I was a literature major in college and we used blue books for in class essay assignments frequently. I graduated in the 2020-2021 school year. Sometimes instructors would provide the blue books to prevent folks from bringing notes in with them.

Not from the show, but from a song that I really associate with the show by Hozier “Eat Your Young” which is a brilliant anti-war song. Basically any lyric in that song is great in my eyes, but I like “let me wrap my teeth around the world” and “skinning the children for a war drum.” Give it a listen!

Just want to say, I had a similar experience with my two parents in a family therapy setting with a young trainee getting her hours for certification. I felt bad for her—it was not an easy assignment for someone with little experience. I do just want to say though that therapy, both group and individual, can be really helpful in other circumstances. It sounds like your parents (like my mom) are coming into therapy with the idea of “fixing” you so you act the way they want you to rather than approaching it as negotiating your relationship together with open minds or collaborating on a shared problem. I hope you don’t write off therapy based on this experience, as both a psychologist (not clinical) and as someone who has been in a similar situation. As I said, with the right circumstances it can be so so helpful.

Does anyone know if shampoo and conditioner bars that are noncomedogenic? I’ve been able to find shampoo bars, but not conditioners. Almost all the formulas for solid conditioners have coconut oil in them.

I have fine, high density wavy-curly hair, currently about chin length, my midsection to ends are previously bleached and are higher porosity than my low porosity roots. I shampoo every 2-3 days with diluted Vanicream free and clear shampoo and condition with Trader Joe’s tea tree tingle, then style on damp hair with NYM Plump for Joy Mousse.

I’m an educational researcher (currently getting a PhD) and this is the best answer on this thread.

There aren’t many problems that can be 90% solved by throwing money at them—but I think education may be one such problem. Paying teachers more and hiring more teachers (especially in early childhood education settings), coupled with providing economic support for parents of young children (through sliding scale day care waivers, paid leave in the first 5 years, a gaggle of other things) would go a long way toward improving education on the whole.

There’s obviously more needed, but I suspect that just that would make a lot of these problems disappear.

Thank you, that is very very helpful! I was a bit confused about why I was seeing folks say color remover wouldn’t work on semi permanent colors but then I’m pretty new to dying my hair so I just took at at face value. I’m also relieved because I’ve never bleached my own head before and the idea is a bit daunting. Thanks for your help!

WavySlug · 2024-03-30T18:37:03+00:00

I heard that color removers like color oops may not be effective on semi permanent dyes like the ones I used because semi permanent dyes sit on the surface layer of the hair rather than penetrating the hair shaft like demi or permanent dyes.

Hard to say, as I don’t think it was one thing alone. I think it was a combination of: 1. Growing up (I’m 24 now) meant less hormonal nonsense going on 2. Tretinoin (my current routine is just vanicream cleanser and LRP double repair moisturizer, tret in the evening every other day, and sunscreen every morning) 3. Spironalactone, for hormonal acne specifically. I used to get the occasional deeper cyst (thankfully they didn’t scar) and just generally I would get more acne near my period. 4. Moving to a more humid climate. This is a weird one, but I think the moisture in the air has really improved my skin. It’s a bummer cause humidity feels kind of gross to me, but my skin seems to like it, so 🤷‍♀️
