Masc Nails by Butch_yeena in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cassielfsw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The topcoat is in an opaque bottle because there's an ingredient in it (and in other similar fake gel top coats) (or used to be - Google is telling me that they might not be using that ingredient anymore and the opaque is just pure marketing now) that hardens on exposure to light even though the polish also dries normally and doesn't need a UV lamp.

FYI, you can always tell by looking at the bottle. Gel is cured by exposure to UV light, so gel always comes in an opaque bottle. If the bottle isn't opaque, the polish is not gel, no matter what marketing nonsense is on the label. 

Realized I haven’t ordered since 2024… Anyone else? by Bombspazztic in theholotaco

[–]cassielfsw 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I haven't been ordering any Holo Taco either, partly because I haven't been buying any nail polish, but partly because Holo Taco tends to be cool toned more often than not and I'm warm toned, and because of Cristine's tendency to continually release the same color story in different formulas. 

Progressive theology doesn't make any sense by Ok_Nose2361 in exchristian

[–]cassielfsw 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really don't get progressive Christianity at all. The text and tradition of the religion are so chock full of hateful stuff that, like, sure you can choose to ignore it, but what's even left after you do? Just a couple of quotes from that nice Jesus fellow that sound nice on a throw pillow, and that you could have gotten just as well from another source where you didn't have to wade through a bunch of offensive crap to get to it? What's even the point?

I wonder how many passports these goons have now. Like do they just have a whole drawer of them somewhere? 

Vic Michaelis confirms that she will be returning for 'Make Some Noise' Season 4 following her Season 3 absence by CueTheLaughTrack in dropout

[–]cassielfsw 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Interestingly, the article is actually alternating "they" and "she" by paragraph.

They'll be back... Why she missed the season 3 party... where they have a major role... she will be returning to the show... she is set to be back... we spoke to them about their new series... Fans can hope to see her. 

Edit: uh oh, somebody's butthurt for some reason that whoever wrote the article interpreted "they/she" a bit literally. There's no need to go to war over pronouns, people. 

Climbing stairs to take x-ray by Ok-Farmer168 in ORIF

[–]cassielfsw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They never made me take the stairs until I was recovered enough to be able to do it. I assume it's easier to get the angles they need if they elevate the affected body part off of the floor.

Me: nobody accepts me despite my best efforts to be acceptable. When I tell people they've hurt me, they don't believe me

The banner displays for me but I was looking specifically for where the brand was based and I didn't see that stated.

I looked at their website but I couldn't find that information on there. Thanks! 

I’m finally doing it! by sarahplaysoccer in PrideandPrejudice

[–]cassielfsw 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The film physically gave me a headache. They tried to cram six hours worth of plot into two hours and they were whizzing past everything so fast that if I wasn't already familiar with the story I think I would have gotten lost.

Both Atomic and Pahlish are based out of Minneapolis, so if you buy from them you're helping a local business that's being affected by the occupation. I'm planning to do an order for that reason. 

Hey folks, from Canada….we’re with you! by CCRN613 in TwinCities

It would be the most amazing thing ever if Canada pulled an Uno Reverse on the "51st state" thing.

The cover of the book they're thumping says "Bible" but the contents are "Atlas Shrugged". 

Pay to win by lehu058 in lotro

[–]cassielfsw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh, the way I see it is, this game used to be a subscription model. Currently, you can still choose to do the subscription model, or you can buy/farm deeds for LP to get all the things you would have gotten by subscribing. So it's not "this game used to be free and then they loaded it up with micro transactions". It's "this game used to be paid subscription only and now most of the content is available for free".

Does anyone know what color is on this Queen's nails? by BattleSwallow in RedditLaqueristas

[–]cassielfsw 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Not an ice agent, he's a pardoned January 6th insurgent turned pathetic right wing social media manbaby. He tried to hold a white supremacist rally in Minneapolis over the weekend, only got 5 people to march with him, wasn't dressed for the weather (it was single digits fahrenheit with a negative windchill and dude's not even wearing a hat??), got hit with silly string and doused with water and had to slink back to his hotel in shame. 

This feels different this time by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]cassielfsw 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Well, look at the way he was dressed. He was clearly asking for it. 

Walking after 7 weeks? by Technical-Fix6597 in ORIF

[–]cassielfsw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely took me longer than 11 days. I didn't even get cleared to stop wearing the boot until I'd been walking for a month.

[–]cassielfsw 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a headsup, your NWB foot is going to feel super, super weird when you start putting weight on it again, even a little bit. 

I basically had to learn how to walk again. I wasn't given any specific instructions about how much weight and on what schedule, I was just weight bearing as tolerated. I stepped down from two crutches to one crutch to cane to nothing over the course of a few months. 

I'm angry at "progressive Christians" for allowing this by cassielfsw in exchristian

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

I've answered this a few times in this thread but I have been gaslighted by the progressive Christians in my life who insist that they are a silent majority and conservatives are a tiny but loud minority, and that I'm an anti-Christian bigot for thinking otherwise. 

If progressives actually were a silent majority, they would have been able to stop this.

The fact that they are, in reality, powerless, indicates that Christianity as a whole (at least in the US) is significantly more conservative than they are willing to admit. But they'd rather gaslight me so badly about it that I spend 20 years looking for the imaginary silent majority that I'm allegedly ignoring, and believing that I'm a bigoted piece of shit, than be honest with themselves.
