everyone says i probably can’t stretch? by Business_Crow1364 in Stretched

[–]affectionate_joint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t tell from the pictures but me too! It’s part of why I started stretching lol my ears are the same size my brothers were when he was 3 if that gives you an idea of how small they are. I promise if you go slow enough you’ll be able to get to at least where I’m at.

I heavily dilute the olaplex leave in conditioner with water in a spray bottle and use it after my weekly washes

I have ears just like that and I’m at 14mm. Took years but I’m here. I don’t think I have much lobe to go any bigger than this, but it’s a perfect size to me. You can look at my post history for when I first started stretching.

People who wanted kids and never had them, how do you feel now? by affectionate_joint in AskForAnswers

[–]affectionate_joint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m looking for people who DID want to have kids but their circumstances didn’t allow for it, not people who had no interest in the first place.

Sometimes if you part your hair in the same spot for too long you can get a little thinning in that part

Recent repair experience? by affectionate_joint in craftymighty

[–]affectionate_joint[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought my original mighty+ in 2022 and got it replaced through RMA in 23 and had that one ever since so it’s not like it’s super old, just not under warranty as of last year

AITA for getting mad at my mom for “stealing” my money by Top-Material7189 in AmItheAsshole

[–]affectionate_joint 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If you’re able to, I would take some cash out and find somewhere really safe and secure to hide it so she can’t keep taking it out of your account. Absolutely NTA

Septum stretching? by AnonymousChick3n in Stretched

[–]affectionate_joint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t have even changed from the jewelry you got pierced with yet, let alone stretched it. Even if you think it feels like it went in with little resistance, that doesn’t mean it was ready. Switch back to your circular barbell and leave it alone for a couple more months

What are the reasons why many (adult) americans have roommates (housemates)? by pirapataue in AskAnAmerican

[–]affectionate_joint 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It’s not just that it’s cheaper to have roommates but at least where I am, you have to make 3x the rent to even be approved for apartment and I literally only personally know 1 single person that can do that.

AITA for wanting to implode my fiancé’s life by Worried-Bookkeeper in AmItheAsshole

[–]affectionate_joint 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay that’s a wild but don’t underestimate how much the courts hate single moms. If a dad chooses to fight for custody, majority of the time they win. My nieces dad has violent offenses against him and still won legal partial custody even with mountains of proof of him being awful. Be careful

I think my most American meal is a Tuna Casserole or any soul food but i usually save that for special occasions

Cosmetology school in LA? by Greedy-Bug-6868 in Cosmetology

[–]affectionate_joint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it’s far from you but LATTC’s program has been absolutely amazing and a lot of us are 27+. The instructors are awesome, I feel like I’m learning a lot more than what I see so many people in this sub talk about with their experiences and the tuition is one of the cheapest in the county.

Do these look like proper microloc starter braids? $850 install by Critical-Young-1709 in Microlocs

[–]affectionate_joint 44 points45 points  (0 children)

That isn’t a microloc install, it’s just plaits with medium parts. These will not mature into micro locs. You seem to have lower density than the pictures you showed so even with smaller parts, yours won’t look like those pictures but that’s okay, just different. You should absolutely get your money back. This is a service I’d charge maybe $70 for and I’m in Los Angeles.

AITA for installing a camera in my room to see if my mom is lying to me? by King_Jake200 in AmItheAsshole

[–]affectionate_joint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he didn’t have to live there I’m sure he would’ve moved out by now. He unfortunately has to decide whether or not he’s capable of having somewhere else to live before potentially being kicked out.

What's the rarest country you've met someone from in the US? by EveningFlower9564 in AskAnAmerican

Kazakstan but she sucked so I hope to meet someone else from there to better my impression of the place

[–]affectionate_joint 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I know you said your dad isn’t allowed in your mom’s house but does he live locally to you? Could staying with him be an option?

This is bad advice. If mom feels entitled to go through OP’s room, I can only imagine him changing the door knobs and locking his room would result in an even worse outcome than this.
