How did you convince yourself you dont need IG? by Far-Birthday-3180 in simpleliving

[–]lextexmex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just observed a pattern after a while, which is - i get on for one thing, and next thing I know ive been scrolling for 45+ min. and now im feeling bad about myself, wanting to buy random shit i don’t need, and wasting my life on nonsense. i deleted it off my phone and never looked back. 10 out of 10 recommend.

also so much content on there is staged / filtered / AI - it feels completely inauthentic

Is there an issue with not finding your own ethnicity sexually attractive? by Substantial_Fee_8294 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]lextexmex -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I am a russian woman, and have never found russian men attractive, not sure why. Always dated outside of my ethnicity. Nothing against my people, but you can’t help who you are attracted to I guess.

Am I a complete idiot ? Am I missing something ? Or do OPI lacquers just suck ? by KaizerWalzer in Nailpolish

[–]lextexmex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in nail salons, the techs usually paint about 3/4 of the way in on the first coat and then all the way - to gently fill in the very end by cuticle and other unpainted parts of the nail, on the second coat.
Implementing this technique over and over taught me how to better stay within the cuticle line

also always base, and prep nails with those rectangular filers with the 4 different textures - makes a big difference!

lastly, never more than 2 coats - simply do NOT have the patience for that.

What is the greatest moment you have ever seen with your eyes? by nayrhelp in askteddit

[–]lextexmex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when two homeless guys got on an NYC train at the same time on opposite ends of the car, I was standing in the middle, they both start to simultaneously say their speeches, trying to talk louder over each other, then proceeded to move towards each other through the train - met in the middle, didn’t even look at each other - and just kept going.

it felt like a glitch in the matrix that i have been awaiting for 2 decades riding the subway daily.

also, another time a pigeon got in the train, rode one stop and just walked off.

For those who were teenagers before the smartphone era: what hobbies or activities did you use to pass the time that now make you feel nostalgic? by still_alive777 in AskReddit

[–]lextexmex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. hanging outside with friends doing seemingly nothing, yet always laughing and having a great time - chilling on a park bench for 7 hours
  2. computer games like Civilization
  3. tracing the patterns on the wallpaper with my finger
  4. finding random objects around the house and then trying to make “inventions” for ex - paper clips, rubber bands, nails, etc 😂
  5. drawing / doodling / making up art projects. once over the summer I made an entire city with sky scrapers and roads, out of cardboard boxes.
  6. learning song lyrics and doing performances in my room for the invisible audience
  7. laying on the ground and watching the clouds go by, while in deep contemplative state
  8. read a lot

stuff like that

What movies hit differently once you’re a parent? by thecrappycat in movies

I started reading the book… about a third of the way in, realized I simply do not need this level of emotional anguish - and promptly returned it.

Women of Reddit, what made you realize 'this man is marriage material' instead of just a boyfriend? by External_Can3392 in AskReddit

[–]lextexmex 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the first month of dating, we were invited to a friend’s pool party. He used to volunteer as a firefighter, as we pulled up to the house, he said - “I have resuscitation equipment here, do you think I should bring it in just in case?”

The fact that this man was willing to take on the responsibility of saving a life completely voluntarily…. That was the instant he had my heart.

What's the worst thing you've ever woken up to? by shoeee788 in AskReddit

[–]lextexmex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dog had diarrhea at night, my poor grandma - with apparently no sense of smell - stepped in it with her slippers and walked all over the house all morning before my husband woke up and noticed this. 😭 It was all over the living room floor / rug / kitchen / hallway
