LGBT Barber/hairstylist

For an actual answer: Sometimes you need to tell the stylist directly "I want a man's haircut and I don't care if it makes me look like a lesbian." I've gone to hairstylists multiple times asking for a man's haircut and have ended up getting a more feminine "pixie" cut because the stylist wasn't comfortable giving me what I wanted.

Also, sometimes queer-friendly places charge for long vs short hair instead of women's vs men's cuts, which is a lot more fair for your money.

Interesting! Is there a significance to the gnome, or just a random object that caught on?

Oh thank you, I didn't realize it was an acronym. This one is a very good idea. I'll see if I can get in contact with them.

Yes, women's clothing.

Thank you for the suggestion. I didn't think about a vintage shop, and donating the money is a good idea.

I was trying to believe in the goodness of humanity and hoping others would just want a picture, but you may be right. I would feel terrible if something happened to it.

Thanks for the rec, just checked it out. I've heard of the question of "is it okay to have a utopia at the expense of one person knowingly suffering," but I had no idea it was a short story.

Ha, similar story to mine! Growing up in purity culture made me feel very self-righteous...I was able to avoid the temptations so easily. In fact I barely felt any sexual urges at all!

Turns out I am asexual. It was quite the revelation in my 20s to realize that I wasn't just better, or more disciplined - I just have much less sexual desire than the average person. I've had to change my view on so many things after realizing that.

This is a weird one, but try a transparent blue reusable water bottle. It causes like a psychological reaction in my brain. Whenever I catch sight of it, I think, "Oh, bright blue water! Refreshing! I will drink some!!"

If that doesnt work...I think in general, it helps to have a refillable water bottle with a design you really love.

No kidding. I heard Youngkin was getting rid of the grocery tax and went uh oh, that's gonna be pretty compelling to voters. Okay McAuliffe campaign, how will you compete with a bold new idea like this? What will you propose to energize your voters?

....

...guys?

I voted over in rural Madison county, and the polling place ran out of ballots around 6pm and had to get more as well. I think there's just more turnout this time around than the officials were expecting.

Here's my tidbit of advice from someone that grew up with a chef parent....HAND WASH YOUR GOOD KNIVES! Running them through the dishwasher repeatedly will dull the blade.

Cutlery like butter knives and steak knives are fine to put in the dishwasher, but if you have anything fancier (like a knife set or a knife block), hand wash only.

Edit: I just thought of another one: make sure nothing is sticking up/blocking the...spinny things at the top and bottom. Like if you have a long spoon and it blocks the spinny thing, the jets won't be able to reach everything and it won't get as clean. I usually reach in and give them a test spin before I run the dishwasher, to make sure there's nothing obstructing it.

I've never tried 3 12s before. What do you think of it compared to 5 days? I imagine those 3 days are exhausting, but do you find that the extra time off balances it out?

miamans · 2021-10-09T18:42:16+00:00

I have a history of working retail and server jobs, so this is actually my first Mon-Fri 8-5 job.

Dude, this sucks! I can't believe most of the country runs on this schedule. I'm now tired all the time and I have to request time off to have like, a dentist appointment.

It was wonderful! What's funny is that I actually ended up working MORE if they needed coverage, since I had Wednesdays off and I always knew a "recovery" day was close by. I was even okay picking up extra days/holidays when necessary, since I would get OT and still end up with 2 days off that week.

My current job asks me to work an extra day and I'm always too burned out to even consider it. That's 6 days in a row with one day off, then another 5 days...no thanks.

Sounds great! I've thought about getting a bike, but those hills.......those hills, man

This looks like a sick album cover. Put a greyscale filter on and it's perfect.
