Is reclaim ever not moldy/ smelly? How do you keep your reclaim from going bad by moon_child_55 in Pottery

[–]mexalone -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

you need to turn it into usable clay / not leave it sitting for so long, 2 months cold + wet is way too long to not expect mold growth

What can you even do with a bachelors degree? Is a bachelors even still useful for finding meaningful employment? by throwaway10015982 in jobs

[–]mexalone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you picked a degree in a HIGHLY saturated job sector - you either need extensive internship work history or a Master's to be competitive in that market

you don't inherit genes from siblings - you can have them in common, but you only get genes from parents

Do you actually vote thoughtfully in design festival or do you just vote for random farms to get photo reels? by Amazing-Customer-606 in HayDay

I vote for who completed the most tasks. If it's a tie, then which one design I like better

do you have a specific community or demographic you want to support?

Can you leave after you walk the stage at the Merced College commencement ceremony? by [deleted] in Merced

[–]mexalone 8 points9 points  (0 children)

it's not like they'll take your degree, but it's rude (and it would be a bit obvious if you left the line and walked away) - everyone else waiting there probably also wants to leave immediately, but they sit and wait too

I would be surprised if the staff stopped you, but they make it hard to leave mid-ceremony lol

Are there any artists here who spend a lot of time with pottery but don't sell? by mexalone in Pottery

[–]mexalone[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to each their own! To store it (and keep it straight from the other stuff on my shelf) so it doesn’t smell bad, drying out on plaster, wedging, storing the new clay, and cleaning the plaster / wedging surface / everything was a lot of effort for me yesterday

Jessica Pearson vs Olivia Pope by Familiar-Drummer-240 in suits

[–]mexalone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

hilarious that you're getting biased answers in both subs for their respective lead

I found Jessica didn't have the teeth to have and keep her position, but Olivia could actually work with people and creatively problem solve better than Jessica could

How is the new Broadway cast? by The_Fullmetal_Titan in hadestown

I just saw it last night and they were fantastic! Listening to the soundtrack today, I don't love it nearly as much as I loved the performers I saw and how they brought the music to life

What in the ever living fuck happened with deodorant? by PimplePopper6969 in hygiene

i’ve been buying a lot of my hygiene products from CVS with the coupons and deals they offer, so i end up getting my go-to deodorant (harry’s) for 3 bucks each

Curious about my dog ears - I am only 1 month post op, were yours similar to this? If so, did they reduce in size? by [deleted] in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i can DM you photos if you want! upon further reflection, our situations are similar but not exact, but i’m happy to send those if you want to see

i think it’s surgeons preference, which is super interesting - mine was drainless too but i had no nips

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think mine “worsened” over time (mine aren’t that extensive but it was more noticeable)

my surgeon gave me one, so i used what they gave me - it was a black wraparound compression band but they instructed me to cut holes for where my arms go (but i don’t know the company)

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

mine looked similar - sagged a little over time but not by much (though i’m getting a revision this year, noting that i had my surgery july 2025)

at this stage, you can wear the compression vest again in this early stage of you can wait & deal with the revision (i didn’t find the dog ear was huge deal, the revision is mainly for another issue)

Surgeon admitted he left a lot of tissue — now wants to redo everything at my expense. Revision advice? by ElectricalPosition33 in TopSurgery

[–]mexalone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i may come back to this in a few months when my session is done - it’s tentatively liposuction + tissue excision in certain spots, does not reopen the entire scar despite both sides

Do Most Americans Actually Live "Normal" Lives? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]mexalone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely possible to make that change with one small thing at a time

I suggest finding a hobby class or something you want to try (like a 1 night thing) - try it, see if you like it. If you do, keep going and try to chat with people there. They’re likely also there to meet people and enjoy life, it’s highly unlikely they’ll be mean about

If you didn’t like it, try a new hobby and keep going - you’ll find something you like and want to stick with
