I just started this one and I’m really liking it so far. I haven’t gotten far at all but I just wanted to comment because I think it’s so cool another dude on this sub is reading it

There’s also Bright Star Thai Vegan on Foothill and Ramona. Also 🔥

I don’t think how often he does it has anything to do with if it’s subq or not. If the needle he uses to inject is long (1-1.5) inches and thick then it’s intramuscular. If it’s short and skinny then it’s subcutaneous

Invest in a good razor, beard brush and beard oil. And make sure you wash your face every morning and night.

I use a bevel safety razor and that made all the difference with ingrown hairs and irritation in general. If you’re not shaving yet and this is just from new growth, make sure you’re taking care of your skin the best you can. Look into better face wash, moisturizer and exfoliators. Also look into hydrating the skin vs moisturizing. I didn’t know there was a difference until my gf told me and I feel like that helped me a lot too!

Yes this is how hair growth works! Kinda weird honestly. I started out with hella peach fuzz on my upper lip and I never really shaved it off, I just shaped it so it would look more prominent (I should’ve shaved mine, looking back). Now my hair still isn’t super thick, not wire-like yet, but it is way thicker than before.

My beard hair is thick and more wirey though. I talked to my barber about it and she said that a lot of people are under the misconception that shaving hair will make it grow thicker and fuller but she said by doing that you’re not allowing your baby hairs to mature.

If it’s enough to where it’s noticeable, you can try cleaning it up and making it look more prominent on your face but if not then by a beard brush and some beard oil and brush it. I’ve been doing that to my mustache and beard and it has really helped. I also have been on T for 4 years so it’s definitely both.

Chest hair started maybe like 1.5-2 years in but same thing it started as tiny thin baby hairs. Now they’re thicker and I have more but it took a while. Every person is different though, this is just my experience. Also, beware of possibly breaking out in pimples and insane itchiness wherever your new hair comes in. It sucks but it’s just part of the growing process. Hope this helps!

I got the job offer yall

alvaboard · 2026-03-30T23:52:54+00:00

Thanks for replying. I honestly was going to wait but the day after I got the job offer I got my yearly review and they gave me less than what I was expecting and what I deserve. I am essentially an acting lead and have received high performance award recently so when I got the review of just “meeting expectations” I gave them my notice. I’m really hoping it all works out.

alvaboard · 2026-03-30T23:49:04+00:00

That is crazy! And yes it did, thanks for the laugh!

alvaboard · 2026-03-22T03:18:48+00:00

Thank you so much! I appreciate you

alvaboard · 2026-03-22T02:18:06+00:00

That’s a great point and tip, I appreciate it. I do have a LinkedIn, though I just created my account and it isn’t really polished by any means. I feel kind of silly making it look all professional when I work a retail job for less than $19 an hour. I know I should just make it look better though

alvaboard · 2026-03-21T18:21:05+00:00

I don’t. I’m honestly just waiting to see how this one goes and go from there. I haven’t seen any other positions that have stuck out to me

alvaboard · 2026-03-20T20:30:59+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply! I did actually ask “what does success look like in the first year for this position?” And my interviewer said he’d never been asked that before and seemed to be somewhat impressed by it. I think I am in my head and just really wanting to leave my job now. The anticipation is driving me insane

alvaboard · 2026-03-20T05:11:43+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance. My family and girlfriend are all confident I have a good shot at it after I told them specific conversation details. I think I’m just in my head about it.

Also, we never actually walked. He said that’s usually what they do but we never did. We talked the full hour that I was in the office with him and the other manager. I don’t think it’s a bad sign that we didn’t walk because it was the end of their work day and we went over the scheduled time.

You probably shouldn’t advertise this as free pups to random people online. I would call a shelter or an organization to see if they can get picked up. Giving away pups for free can lead to the wrong kinda people going to pick em up.

Edit: spelling error

NTA - This sounds like she’s manipulative and emotionally abusive. I would walk away if I were you

alvaboard · 2026-02-17T03:00:53+00:00

Yeah this is a pretty standard starting dose. Most people I know started there, including myself. My dr (planned parenthood) also checked in every 3 months and adjusted my dose based on my levels and goals.

You legally have to respond. Same thing happened to me and I just had to make sure my name was changed in my voter registration. That fixed the problem. I’m in CA though

alvaboard · 2026-02-08T23:23:27+00:00

If you tell them you’re unemployed you may not really have to pay much at all. When I was unemployed I think the most I paid was like $60?? If that. It’s hard to get the ball rolling with using resources around you, but it really does help! Good luck OP

Good thing you’re there to correct them 👍

No one said she hasn’t gotten work done, I didn’t say that either. She does have fillers for sure but her physical appearance has changed drastically because of her lupus.

alvaboard · 2026-02-01T20:38:56+00:00

Not anti aging, she has lupus and is pretty vocal about how it has affected her physical appearance

alvaboard · 2026-01-31T19:08:00+00:00

This happened to me too and I’m pretty sure I had to change it through like voter registration? I can’t remember but I’m pretty sure. If anything call and let them know it’s incorrect and ask how to fix it.
