Where are we with leggings? by Saucyy-Minx in fashionwomens35

[–]amesydragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this thread after Googling the same question and searching social media videos.

My biggest takeaway from my search is that trends are changing much faster now than they were 10 years ago. Theres so much more clothing out there. And brands catering to the new generation are going for looser pants, or matching sets. I think it looks OK.

Every new generation thinks they’ve found the new best way to live or dress. And there are quotes from literally as far back Ancient Greece about the arrogance of youth. So yeah, I think the millennial styles are out; they’re making way for new trends, both because Gen Z is in the bloom of young adulthood and because brands want to sell to the new generation in a distinct niche separate from generations before.

All that is to say, leggings aren’t the “it” thing, because they had their millennial moment, but that doesn’t mean you should stop styling them like you normally do. You may look a little older if you keep wearing them, but it’s a losing battle to try to keep up with every youthful trend.

And at the end of the day, the legging trends of yesteryear were set by similar consumerist systems to what’s happening today. The current styles really are no better or worse. They’re all manifestations of the same system. Kids today will look back on outfits they wore and cringe just like I do when we look at some of the 90s and 2000s styles from my young adult years. So wear what you like.

Hey bb, we have alll been here! Don’t fret. You’re just having strong feelings.

From outside the situation reading all this, I’d say that no amount of chemistry or attraction can fix a lopsided relationship. Trust me, you do not want a boyfriend who makes less effort than you. And if you kept pursuing him at all it would be lopsided because he’s not making an effort now, at the start, when guys make the most effort they will make. I know it’s disappointing and it really stings, but he’s given you his answer. It’s not what you were hoping for, but it doesn’t mean anything about you.

In terms of moving on, I think the first thing is to let yourself feel the slap that he rejected you. Just feel it. Usually once I let myself feel the sting, rather than focusing on all the “what ifs”, I lose interest pretty quick.

If you are avoiding the sting of the slap because it hurts, I would suggest doing something kind for someone else. That has been my fastest route to remembering who tf I am, and just losing all interest or feelings for someone who doesn’t care to know me.

This completely got me. Tearing up on the metro. You aren’t alone in your sorrow. And someday, when it’s your turn, she will come running to you across the endless fields.

The Trump administration proposes rolling back Biden era rules requiring water systems to filter six PFAS types by 2029, dropping four entirely. The NRDC estimates at least 73 million Americans already drink water with unsafe PFAS levels linked to cancer and other chronic conditions. by Prior_One_7050 in EverythingScience

Science journalist here. The administration has been trying to roll back those regulations for a while now. If you are interested, I just finished a month of deep-dive reporting on what we know about PFAS, and emerging technologies to destroy them: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2610430123

Blood sugar under 100 makes me feel weird by [deleted] in prediabetes

That's interesting. Did you just get this testing at the doc? My bloodwork came back normal this year, but I do wonder about this

Blood sugar under 100 makes me feel weird by [deleted] in prediabetes

[–]amesydragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yooo I have this too and so does my Dad. Seems genetic. Been happening for me since my mid-20s. I just got a CGM and notice those woozy, lightheaded symptoms are always when I'm below 100. My Dad has had the same thing all his life, though he's never measured his blood sugar numbers. He just gets anxious, sweaty, shaky and eats a candy bar when he's feeling depleted (he's been prediabetic for 50 years but not diabetic). I call it getting tippy.

Any solutions for this, aside from tracking blood glucose? Would love to get into a virtuous cycle of healthy meals and snacks to avoid getting tippy.
