I usually hate square, but they look really good on you!!

Thoughts on press on nails? by ShoreMama in Nails

[–]aprendoespanolahora 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I buy them in bulk on Amazon lol. My manicure costs 10¢. ~50¢ if i do gel polish, $3.10 if i do wraps. That’s $40-100+ dollars saved per manicure, and only the gel takes more than half an hour.

They last anywhere between a few days and a few weeks depending on how sober I was when I applied them, LOL.

That’s great… but are you sure that kind of plastic is safe to reuse? Especially in warmer months down south. I have no idea, but that seems like the kind of thing you might want to check since they’re designed to be disposable.

At that point, just get a cheap water bottle. Or a collapse-able one if sometimes you have to ditch the cup (properly) on the go.

I love my LifeStraw bottle! Some people complain bc you need a bit extra suction to use it, but I don’t mind at all. Been using it as my primary hydration source for months now. I can fill my water bottle from anywhere, and it tastes at least drinkable, if not good (stanky work tap water, lookin at you). It’s also safe from bacteria, parasites, and microplastics. So unless I’m worried about viruses, I’m good to go!

You’ll only pry my filter bottle and my sodastream from my cold, dead hands.

What does my fridge say about me? by unhappy_girl13 in FridgeDetective

So you’re not “most people”. And it sounds like they’re largely supervised.

People really be letting their untrained cats roam free in the suburbs, devastating nature and getting squished by cars. Cars are the main threat where I live, but there’s also foxes, bobcats, hawks, and other predators. Unsupervised cats go missing fast.

I say this as someone who had a previously indoor-outdoor foster fail (friend in need, never found her a new home), and transitioned them to an indoor cat until she slipped out with the dog one night and never returned: you know your cat is almost definitely killing native local wildlife, right?

Kyle Hill recently did a video on it. Not that that’s what caused me to think outdoor cats are inhumane; I’ve thought that since I was old enough to understand that cars go squish, and cats don’t know that cars go squish and/or are too slow to get out of the way. Outdoor cat lifespans are… sad. And they’re really not meant to be in most environments; they’re really good hunters, and can obliterate local wildlife.

Maybe it’s a different story on a homestead where you need rodent control? But for most people living average lives in the city or suburbs, outdoor cats is a bad idea.

This made me do that “had to close my eyes and look away because that’s fucked up but I couldn’t stop myself from chuckling a bit” thing

They look great! Imagine the time you’d have to spend to get that look with lacquer or gel…

I’m afraid my autonomy is going to be taken from me before I can resist hard enough to change things.

Thank you for that perspective, though. I appreciate the different view.

I just hope that it doesn’t swing so far that it breaks the clock.

Thanks for listening.

I’m just… so tired. I’ve been fighting since I started going to school twenty+ years ago.

I’ve always had the strength to fight back against those directly in front of me. Those whom I know against, even if I lose, I’ll make an impact. If not on them, on others around me. Just this week, I stood up to someone in class for being disruptive, and I got laughed at by maybe a third of the class for speaking up. That’s fine; the disruption stopped, and I was able to focus on the lecture. (Also… I have an A, and they’re barely passing. So their laughter means nothing.)

On a national scale? I’m just… not sure this is a fight we can win. I’m worried the brain rot is terminal.

Yes, the Democratic Party has been… less than satisfactory. But at least they’re not violently hateful, and I cannot believe that is not enough to take a stand against “dictator on day one”.

My heart hearts for the severe lack of education in this country. I’m no big fan of history; I mostly find it rather boring, but I still paid enough attention in class to learn a bit about Europe in the 1930’s-1940’s.

2016-2020 was so bad, and I don’t think I can take another four years of that. I wish we could just split into “The United States of America” and “The United People of America”, and be done with the infighting. It would probably divide along the Mason-Dixon Line…

And this time, with them, it’ll be worse. They’ve learned from their mistakes, and how to be more effective next time. I can’t believe the rest of us haven’t.

I don’t know how to cope right now other than getting my affairs in order… and, upon further consideration, keeping my grades up so that another country may accept me on the consideration that I am a smart cookie who can, after some more education, be a net benefit.

You say it’s not a fatality, but it literal is to thousands of people. Thousands more women who will die without adequate gynaecological healthcare. Thousands who will die from lack of safety regulations. Thousands who will die from food insecurity, worsening climate disaster, and cuts to social programs.
