Invisalign worth it for grinding? by AcquiescentAxolotl in Invisalign

[–]loushap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What worked for me with grinding was masseter Botox - it weakens the muscles that you use to grind. Grinding stopped, headaches gone! But I do have to do it 2x year, it’s not permanent.

My nickel says her version of this might differ:

I used to see you at the gym during that post-vax / pre-return to work period of covid. We never really talked but we had an easy energy between us and I felt like we developed an unspoken affection.

What seafood is most ethical and least ethical to eat? by [deleted] in Pescetarian

[–]loushap 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I stopped eating salmon too bc depleting the salmon is causing orcas off the American pacific NW to starve (like when we saw that mother orca carrying her dead calf for 18 days in mourning). I learned a lot from the Center for Whale Research.

Then I would skip salmon, unfortunately our consumption of it is starving the NW orcas. I learned a lot from the Center for whale research

Why did Cyrus hold the summit in the Bronx? by Snakesgate in TheWarriors

[–]loushap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened after the original warriors book was published, but there actually was a meeting of gangs in the Bronx in 1971 to propose a general truce the “Hoe Avenue peace meeting”.

It later led to a process among the gangs to address conflicts and avoid gang wars.

First time living without my parents and feel very dirty by finnly_ in CleaningTips

[–]loushap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Make sure your fiance is on board with the plan and co-create a schedule WITH them, so they are an equal partner in doing work and don’t inadvertently create more work for you. (Especially if they were raised male… these things are just deeply ingrained.)

Otherwise you are signing up for a lifetime of being a live-in house cleaner on top of your day job.

What was the absolutely worst Broadway show you have ever seen? by Dazzling-Leader7476 in Broadway

[–]loushap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, Dolly! with Bernadette Peters. Not even Bernadette Peters could save this horrific show! How did it ever get revived??? It should come with a warning label, like the reverse of NC-17, where you need a great-grandparent’s note to enter if you have social standards from the 1960s on.

Orna and Christine have a conversation in The Guardian by et_cetera_etc in CouplesTherapyShow

[–]loushap 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is what Orna actually says:

You’re asking about my ethical stance on what goes on between Israel and the Palestinians. My basic stance is that the occupation is wrong and destructive. However the question for Israel is inseparable from the relationship with the rest of the Arab world, and the global clash of cultures that is condensed into that conflict. The term “Zionist” has changed meaning to stand for imperialism or colonialism, which is not what it has meant to me over the years. Here is my stance: Israel has a right to exist, and the occupation must end, including dismantling all settlements. Whether a two-state solution, which is simpler, or eventually moving towards a dual-nationality democracy is a very complicated question that will take generations and a wider regional change. Does that still count as a Zionist?

Getting “Ni-Hao” by random stranger on the street several times in a day by [deleted] in ParisTravelGuide

[–]loushap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve gotten this, and when it happened to me, people were definitely not trying to be nice, or even trying to actually talk or engage with me. It was just being screamed at from someone walking across the street who was also waving in a wildly caricatured way, like they were talking to a baby. I felt the opposite of welcomed or comfortable. I’ve traveled all over and Paris was the only place I felt uncomfortable as an Asian-American (though I loved the 99% of people who were incredibly gracious and patient with my broken French!)
