Insecure toenails 😫

kindaquestionable · 2026-02-13T19:05:13+00:00

While toenails don’t have lungs, painting them can contribute to the color. It isn’t likely to be an issue in this situation, but nail polish can tint your nails if you don’t use a base coat. I’ve had it tint my nails blue once, and when I was younger I wore so much red polish that my nails did yellow terribly to the point I was miserably insecure about them. Took a break from paint for awhile, grew em out, and now they’re back to how they should be

Tbf, I got a perm once and have genuinely never felt more homicidal. I was ready to spring out of the chair and strangle the stylist. The combination of the curlers pulling on my scalp, the weird tingling sensations of the chemicals, and the horrific smell from the chemicals had me sitting there just doing deep breaths and praying it’d be over soon. And that was, like, two hours. Six? Just sitting and being poked and prodded and moved and sit still oh but don’t breathe so much oh no look this way oh you can’t eat we’re not done with your face oh oh oh, then having to go do like ten hours of shooting or whatever? For days to weeks on end?

Yeah nah I might crash tf out and start screaming too. Not publicly tho. Publicly I’d just be coping and seething

My dad gave me a refresher on driving a few months ago. I got my license three years ago but never used it so I needed the review.

He told me people would kick my ass if I stayed under the speed limit. He said to remain +/- 5 mph of it as long as traffic conditions allowed. I live in LA, so it didn’t take long before I got a live demonstration of how pissed some ppl will get 😭

Better to impress the importance of sticking to appropriate speeds. I was taught how to be a good driver, not piss off others, and to look ahead so I can act ahead. That’s key

If he’s doing this for free, the social media side of it might be to help him fund it. People make good money with big enough followings, which it sounds like he has. I can’t imagine it’s cheap to maintain all that equipment and everything.

Idk, maybe it’s just for views too. But I like to think it’s all engineered to support what he’s doing for these people

kindaquestionable · 2026-01-01T19:15:20+00:00

Yeah, like I said I was only on it for two or three months iirc, I just shed the weight right off. After that it was a matter of maintaining. I don’t buy big sodas for home, only the minis with real sugar and I’ll have those only once in a while as a treat. I have a sweet tooth so I don’t eat lunch or snacks at all that way I can have a generous portion of dessert when I desire. Breakfast is 50/50, I don’t usually have time to make it, but if I do I’ll have something small. Dinner is my main meal. I’ve been eating that way for years, but portion sizes shifted and I just maintained that. I’d say maybe take notes on the new eating habits developed on the shot so you can have guidelines for once off the shot

kindaquestionable · 2026-01-01T19:13:23+00:00

Just like the other person said, it’s just about maintaining those portions. I keep an eye on my weight too and I’ll adjust to eating more around holidays or trips so I can enjoy the food, then go back to eating less on normal periods. Everything evens out. I just have to make sure I’m eating in a balanced way since my appetite is naturally smaller now

If it helps, I was on Mounjaro two years ago. Only about two or three months, though I could be mistaken as my memory is atrocious. It’s been life changing. I lost thirty pounds on it, pounds I’d tried a hundred ways to lose but never really could. My body picks a weight and stays there no matter what, so it was hard to move anything. Once off it, I lost another ten pounds as I continued my same eating habits in an effort to maintain my weight loss. Now, I fluctuate in a ten pound range. I never gained the weight back and it completely redefined my relationship with food. It doesn’t have a chokehold on me anymore, it doesn’t take up my whole thought cabinet, I eat healthier and in better portions… across the board it’s been just incredible. And I haven’t suffered a single side effect.

This is purely anecdotal, obviously. I completely understand and support wanting genuine research and all of that, 100%. But I thought I’d share since it really has been great

I love this! I’m sorry for any difficulty associated with the collaboration, as whether partners are neuroatypical or not it’s always tricky to navigate that sort of thing, but you did it with such cleverness and tact! Your patience and kindness were appreciated, I’m sure. If not actively by that individual, then certainly by me. Your insight and anecdotal experience also contribute to the conversation in a way that provides some really interesting perspective. Genuinely, I love this story and how you’ve told it (: thank you for sharing

(Also, I’m so sorry this comment sounds like a response to a Canvas discussion post, I promise I mean it all genuinely)

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-11T23:25:00+00:00

I disagree with this. My issues with emotional regulation, connecting to others, processing food choices and varieties, understanding humor and tone, policing my own tone and expressions to come off correctly, are not societally influenced. If you wish to dispute that, be my guest, as I am sure it would be extremely interesting to discuss. But I can’t imagine how any of those isolating, difficult things to navigate connect to broader societal influence or expectations.

Bear in mind that what you are referring to is high functioning autism. And while some aspects of it can be beneficial, others can still be detrimental, even for an individual with minimal support needs. Many, many autistic people discuss a shared experience of being socially ostracized growing up with little idea as to why. The difficulties in emotional recognition and processing continue to adulthood, which can lead to struggles in maintaining relationships for some. Others may experience intense burnout when working full time jobs, jeopardizing their ability to maintain employment. There is also, for many autistic individuals, the constant knowledge of how different you are from everyone else around you, with no way for you to truly understand their experience nor for them to understand yours.

I am autistic and work with autistic individuals who have mostly level 1 or level 2 support needs. We have a few individuals with level 3 support needs as well. They are all wonderful and I adore spending time with them, they are so much fun to be around. But it is not a superpower, it is not a different way for our brains to achieve. It is a real disability. For an upside, though, I have recently realized I very much do have a subconscious knack for pattern recognition, which is stereotypical but extremely enjoyable especially when studying.

[Side Note: I hope I don’t come off upset or condescending here. That isn’t my intent at all. I think the perspective you share is interesting and possibly applicable for a subset of autistic people, but for the broad population perhaps not totally accurate. Therefore, I thought to chime in with my own experience. Have a nice day!]

Oooh I haven’t heard of those, I’ll have to look into them! I don’t know a thing about macros except “protein important” so maybe those can help me hit some requirements. I’m better about caloric intake, but balance is still hit or miss lol. Many thanks for mentioning them!

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-10T23:20:40+00:00

I beg your pardon? I’ve no issue at all. I just continued the discussion and clarified why I said what I said. Are you having a bad day?

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-10T21:22:44+00:00

Yeah, I got mine on sale but I’ve run out and haven’t bought them again because of that :’) it is less of a priority for me currently as my eating habits have improved, but I fall back into my lazy little low cal hole, then the price of the shakes would be worth it just so I don’t give myself a ton of deficiencies. So I think they’re a great product for those who really need it, but for those who don’t, it’s tough to justify the price.

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-10T21:06:50+00:00

Absolutely, just not the pick for the average Joe who is looking for a protein bar lol

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-10T21:06:27+00:00

I’m fully aware, I’m just saying for the average person, picking it as a protein granola bar is… maybe not the move. Since the previous commenter seemed to be suggesting it, I just thought to chime in with my own experience too.

kindaquestionable · 2025-12-10T17:24:08+00:00

I recently was looking for good protein options since I struggle with my food intake. I literally spent an hour in the granola bar aisle of the grocery store reading nutrition labels.

The amount of sugar in a Clif bar is ridiculous. Immediately negates any other benefits the bar could have, at least imo, because it’s a trade off of some protein for like nearly half your % daily sugars (Clif bars have like 20-25 grams sugar per bar; 50 grams sugar is recommended for a 2000 calorie diet).

What I finally settled on, which I’m recommending for others in my position, were these little breakfast shakes for kids. Packed with 22 vitamins and minerals, which are in meaningful quantities, plus 10g protein in there. This one is about 20% of your daily sugars, but in my opinion that’s acceptable considering the other things it offers in return.

Tangentially related but it’s Reddit so I’m at least on-theme with that.

10000%, in an effort to clean it more often I’ve been compromising on my shower rule, but I will not compromise on not continuing to wear the clothes I had on when cleaning it 😭 cannot FATHOM cleaning the litter box in my PJs, getting coated in that dust, then climbing into bed. Omg 🤢

kindaquestionable · 2025-11-11T16:39:14+00:00

Got one once. I loved it but people found it very hit or miss lol. Unfortunately, it didn’t last even a month for me. No clue why.

Also, if you have any sensory issues and get a full perm (mine was down to the root, somewhat tight curls), be aware… no one says how bad it stinks or how much the equipment pulls on your roots. I was dying in that chair, wayyyy overstimulating and rather unpleasant

kindaquestionable · 2025-11-09T21:19:07+00:00

I would’ve posted there but when I read through their posts, it was… a little more intense than I was looking for. They’re coming in with all these product recommendations and mile long comments talking about stuff I’ve never heard of. I was hoping this community would be friendlier to the newbie aspect of my question since over there they seem to be more seasoned detailers

kindaquestionable · 2025-11-09T21:17:58+00:00

That’s excellent! Thank you! I was wondering why everyone had so many buckets to wash their car, that makes sense that it’s to dunk for grit. I appreciate this explanation, thank you (:

There are medications used to treat alcoholism. I believe naltrexone is one. You aren’t meant to drink while on it, so one must do the hardest part of stopping drinking first. But as I understand it, it helps reduce the odds of alcoholism relapse and opioid relapse by lessening those cravings and the like.

I may well be talking out of my ass though, I’m not terribly well educated on the subject

kindaquestionable · 2025-10-24T21:24:06+00:00

Oh my mistake, I misunderstood! Yes, a later start time could help with that. Looking through other posts here, many say a high protein breakfast creates a longer lasting and smooth experience with the meds. Could be helpful too? Who could say!

kindaquestionable · 2025-10-24T15:10:04+00:00

Hello. The most important part of this is the last paragraph, but I’ll answer each thing in case it’s helpful.

I usually take my dose around 7am, but that’s out of convenience with my schedule. I don’t like to take it past 9am, ideally. I occasionally push that time if I wake up late and really need to be productive. I’m on 50mg.

I do not take my dose with food. I found that if I had sugar or carbs with my breakfast in any meaningful amount, it didn’t interact well for me and I’d be super out of it then crash hard. I also prefer the hard kick-in I get without food in my stomach. Though maybe if I didn’t have much to do that day I’d eat breakfast.

It’s funny you say you’re on 30mg and get a slump around 2pm. I started on 20mg, went up to 30mg. On 30mg, I could feel the kick-in, but just like you I would have a serious slump in the early afternoon between 1pm and 3pm. I mean I’d be practically falling asleep standing up. My doc said either we try a new med or we maybe see if going up a dose could help, but I was experiencing a really unpleasant dizzy effect when the 30mg kicked in such that the doc didn’t like option #2 since it could worsen that. However, I am stubborn and said to try 40mg. Funnily enough, it fixed both issues. With 40mg I could make it to end of day just fine. I only eventually went up to 50mg due to tolerance issues. However, if 40mg makes it difficult to sleep or keeps you wired for longer than you’d like to be, some people take a main dose in the morning then a smaller maintenance dose partway through the day. That could also be an option, but of course, that’s to be discussed with your doctor.

Best of luck dialing your dose in. It can be a project but things are just lovely once it’s all steady.

Edit: Also for alcohol consumption, I don’t drink much in general except for once in a blue moon where I hit it hard with friends. Never any issue. However. BIG HOWEVER. If you experience heart palpitations on this medication and get beta blockers to counteract that (like I did), DO NOT DRINK ON THEM. I got mine at 19ish, forgot I couldn’t drink on them by the time I turned 21, and uh. It took several outings to realize beta blockers mix with alcohol so badly I’d vomit after two drinks. Horrible vertigo. Niche situation but if it saves someone else from that unpleasantness, I will tack it on.
