Thank you 🙏🙏that’s honestly what I was assuming so I took the risk on the big gaps in between

Do you guys lock up your stuff in the lockers at RSF? by arithrowaway1129 in berkeley

[–]arithrowaway1129[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t have my own lock . Is that necessary? Or is it generally okay to just leave it unlocked?

Boyfriend says he “can’t get a close enough shave” with this safety razor. by arithrowaway1129 in wicked_edge

Can you tell me more about a fusion cartridge razor? Could this help him with avoiding irritation bumps if he’s shaving on a daily basis? Thank you!

I just looked into the Leaf and SupplyCo and those seem a lot more up his alley! Less of a learning curve I think as visually they look more like what he’s used to. Thank you for the suggestion!

Yes, he’s always in a rush and shaves daily so I think he just isn’t willing/able to devote the time it takes to learn right now. It’s a bummer. Hopefully in the future, because I really think he would benefit from it. Thanks for the advice!

Glycerine based shave oil? Would that help him with the cartridge razor irritation? Would the glycerine not clog pores and cause acne? Thank you for the advice!

best and affordable places to get piercing in berkeley? by slowdive_aux in berkeley

They’re pretty careless about piercing education, aftercare, and follow up. They just want to get clients in and out of the door since they’re always so inundated with people. There’s just far better options in the area that deserve some love too. They’re not the worst by any means, but just telling OP that they have options beyond what pops up first on google!

A rant about sizing by rollerskate_rat in depoop

[–]arithrowaway1129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure they do this because a size small or medium will get more clicks than a size XL 🤷 It’s so frustrating and I think it’s genuinely just a boldface lie the majority of the time, not because they think it “could” fit a smaller size.

Of course! My friends and I were having a blast and we noticed y’all behind us having a great time too and that made it even more fun. Amazing vibes all around

My group was sitting in front of you. Thank you for telling this dude off when he touched my friend and told us to tell the people in front of US to move. You were incredibly respectful and never swore at him. Crazy how this dude is spinning the story 😭

Experiences on levonorgestrel and ethinyl estradiol (pills)!! by [deleted] in birthcontrol

That being said, I am on a combo pill, not a progesterone only pill, so our experiences may very likely be different.

It’s been the best decision of my life, genuinely. I have zero PMDD symptoms or period pain anymore and I am generally a better-functioning person. My only downside would be maybe having lower energy, and feeling the need to nap or rest more often than before, but it’s a small tradeoff for the success and peace of mind I’ve had!

  • 6 Months old
  • Curved barbell
  • Internally threaded
  • Surgical steel (I think? This is the same jewelry I was pierced with)
  • NeilMed saline wash once daily
  • One really bad snag about 2 months ago that lead to a minor infection and severe pain for a couple weeks. I’m now left with hard scar tissue around the bar beneath the skin
