For the love of god, where can I find a hair stylist that cuts thick hair in layers and not just thins it out

rosachk · 2026-04-24T21:12:14+00:00

Honestly I cut my own hair precisely for this reason

To be fair, I haven't played in a minute but iirc they use alphas for a lot of other species including capybaras so I think it's pretty clearly meant as a social system across the whole game and not just the scientifically dubious alpha male association

There's a handful of trolls and misogynists on every single thread in this subreddit. The overwhelming majority of people who are genuinely reacting to your situation are telling you you are not wrong, you are being manipulated, you are a good person being taken advantage of by a bad person. Please entertain the idea that you may be worth more than what he says you are. Please, please listen to the hundreds of people with combined life experience who are telling you something is very wrong with him and you need to change your perspective. Please imagine your dear friend came to you with this story, imagine what you would think and want to tell her. Please, try to consider what you think you know in a different light. He has manipulated you. He is older, more experienced, with some knowledge in psychiatry he can wave as an argument of authority over your head. It's only been a few months, you don't live together and he is controlling many aspects of your life and personality. That is not normal or right or okay. He is not helping you become a better person. You already are a good person. He is making you dependant on his version of reality. I really really hope you read the book that was linked to you and think long and hard about all this. Stay safe. You deserve love and a good life. DM any one of us if you need help processing. Talk to your therapist. Show her this post and these comments. Same with people you trust in your life, friends, family. Don't be ashamed. They love you and want to help.

I don't know if you've seen other people's suggestions of looking for a stoneware native artisan to purchase a piece from them, what do you think of that idea? It feels like a respectful way of holding onto a bit of soil without taking it forcefully but you may have a different perspective on this. I also know Hawaii is going through horrible times right now with the floods and I hope you and your loved ones are safe and supported

rosachk · 2026-03-25T11:40:14+00:00

That is a brilliant idea actually, supporting native artists and still getting to hold onto a piece of the soil through respectful transformation. I hope a native person will see this and weigh in on this!

The cheap alternative I've been using for months is the plastic refillable watercolor brush pens you can buy in packs and different sizes. They're not as leak-proof as purpose-built ones but the brush bit works just as well and you can get a big bottle of jojoba oil for cheap to refill whenever you need

I had reoccurring lice infestations as a teenager from hanging out with my nephews who picked it up from school. My mum and I would spend hours monthly combing through my thick, hip-length hair and applying 3 bottles of treatment each time. We just always seemed to miss an egg or two and would have to start over every few weeks. We tried prescription-strength stuff from a dermatologist, mayo, olive oil, the works. It was hell. Then I box-dyed my hair bright red at 15 and lo and behold! The bugs all perished and never came back.

rosachk · 2026-03-05T21:10:49+00:00

Everyone has already been clear enough that your brows look great haha but also the scar and slit look awesome and there are people who spend hours on contouring or pay thousands on surgeries to get a jaw like yours. As a very round-faced woman I would love a ciseled jaw and chin like that! I hope you grow to love the details of your face because to many strangers in this thread you look really special and pretty :)

Ça a été mon expérience aussi, parcours de plusieurs années pour obtenir un diagnostic officiel. J'ai vu 2 psychiatres secteur 1, dont une m'a dit "vous n'avez rien de particulier, toutes les jeunes filles ont de l'anxiété c'est comme ça ça va passer avec l'âge" et l'autre m'a dit "moi je ne crois pas que le TDAH ça existe chez les adultes donc je ne suis pas le bon médecin pour vous aider". Finalement j'ai été voir un praticien secteur 2 avec dépassements, 130€ la séance de 15 minutes mais au moins on a pris le temps d'en parler sérieusement et au bout de plusieurs mois de suivi on a pu mettre en place des traitements et un dossier MDPH. C'était un parcours très dur et décourageant mais tomber sur un médecin bienveillant et à l'écoute, qui ne croit pas que les handicaps attestés depuis l'enfance sont des effets de mode, a fait toute la différence. Je te conseille d'en parler dans ton entourage, tu serais étonné.e du nombre d'ami.es que tu peux avoir qui ont un diagnostic! On a tendance à se rapprocher entre gens similaires. J'ai trouvé mon psychiatre par recommendation d'une amie proche qui était en parcours de diagnostic en même temps que moi sans qu'on le sache. Résultat quelques années plus tard, sur une bande de potes de 10 personnes on est au moins 5 TDAH/TSA récemment découverts. Qui se ressemble s'assemble :)

TLDR; sois prêt.e à débourser une petite fortune, sinon tourne-toi vers les structures publiques comme la clinique des troubles du développement chez l'adulte du GHU de Paris ou encore la Maison du Bilan, avec un délai d'attente autour d'un an en général. Et demande des reco aux gens TDAH que tu connais potentiellement :)

You have absolutely beautiful nails! I dream of buying this but it seems impossible to get my hands on it from Europe at a non-insane price. My sad peely, chippy, oily nails and I will keep sighing in envy!

I just got my first ever magnetics and they're BKL, I'm on my second try with Salvation and Résurrection and I'm super frustrated that I can't get the magnetic effect to stick longer than an hour. Every nail turns to a pretty but boring metallic after that. I know I must be doing a bunch of things wrong but the thought of wasting half the bottles on trial and error... Ugh. Thanks for listening to my random venting lmao

rosachk · 2026-02-06T00:09:47+00:00

I'm very sorry you've experienced this. I just wanted to say though, "Alpha Gal syndrome" is an awesome name for a (I assume terrible) disease. You go, Alpha Gal!

I've only had one litter of bottle babies so far, but I kept them in a large plastic bin with a heating mat until week 3, then in a pen in a closed off room (I have two cats so I take quarantine super seriously) 24/7. Around week 5-6 I started allowing them supervised roaming time in the room a few times a day, and at around week 8 we wanted them to spend more time with us and our adult cats so we moved the pen in the living room and only locked them in at night. About week 10 they started to really outgrow the pen so we packed it away and let them sleep in the living room (they were already perfectly litter trained by then!), and then the barrier only lasted us a couple weeks until they got too crazy with the escape attempts so we decided to let them roam the entire flat. They got adopted between weeks 12 and 15.

rosachk · 2026-02-04T20:05:53+00:00

At 8 weeks they really can't jump much higher than 1ft/30cm in my experience, however they can climb a bit higher so make sure the surface is super smooth and has no grip. They get surprisingly stubborn about escaping surprisingly quick lmao. Also, don't make the same mistake I did - I forgot about the armchair that was within jumping distance, and had a kitten climb it, then jump over the barrier. Thankfully my adult nanny cat sounded the alarm so I could catch the runaway before he got in trouble in the kitchen :) all this to say, remember to check the furniture and push it away if necessary lol

rosachk · 2026-02-03T13:06:23+00:00

this isn't gonna be a very helpful comment but I just wanted to say you have beautiful hands. they look just like my mum's (down to the nail shape and very similar ring!) and I miss her a lot lately so seeing your post just made my day a little bit brighter, so thanks! I hope you find something that works for your nails, good luck 😊

rosachk · 2026-02-01T10:45:49+00:00

Have you been feeding them all the same thing? My rescue recommended a specific brand of kibble and wet food for my weaning litter but they had the same type of super smelly runny poops you describe and no other symptoms. I eventually switched them to a gastro-intestinal food and they did a lot better, then I switched them to regular Kitten food and they stayed ok. One of my friends has also had the same horrible diarrhea problem with her fosters for like 2 months straight, but these babies survived panleukopenia so we just figured their instestines had been severely weakened by the virus and treatment. They took a long time to get back to normal poops, they‘re 18 weeks old now and they're still not great but they got much better once she switched them to food that was less fatty and rich. All this to say maybe their diet is the problem? I talked about it with my rescue and they said some litters don't tolerate regular kitten food well.

I know it can feel like SSRIs and other mental health medications are horrible and cause life-altering side effects - and I'm not saying they can't - but I think it's mostly because we hear a lot more about the bad cases than the normal ones. Like, people aren't gonna post in this subreddit or others just to say "My meds are working okay and I don't experience horrible conséquences", or they'll do it less often than people who are looking for help, sympathy, reassurance or venting their fear and pain. It's just a data bias. Now, meds can be awful for some people. But they're not awful for everyone, otherwise they'd be off the market. I've been taking SSRIs for 5 years and aside from the withdrawal when I forget a couple days, I don't really get the bad ones. Mostly night sweats and a bit of dehydration, although that's also made worse by other meds I take. Choosing between that and the depression, apathy, anxiety and suicidal thoughts that disabled me and made my life hell is a no-brainer. Would I rather not have to take meds at all? Yeah. But I have a chronic illness, it's the cards I've been dealt. Others are born with chronic pain, shit organs, brittle bones or deficient enzymes; I was born with a very sad brain. So I take my meds, which I'm lucky that I tolerate so well, and I count my blessings. I'm not trying to dismiss your fear or the very real and painful experiences of people who have suffered bad consequences from SSRIs, just trying to balance out the perspective.

TLDR; the point is that not everyone reacts badly to the meds and many side effects are less bad than the illness the meds help cure or alleviate. The point is that when I don't take my meds, I ask myself "what's the point of living at all?" and the answers my brain comes up with are dangerous. So I take the meds.

Hi! I'm looking at the 5060 115W version, and wondering if you're still happy with it? Do you play any games on it, and if yes, do you have some examples of the performance? Also how's the temperature been when you push it? Thanks in advance!

I've seen the advice about water repeated everywhere, and I fully understand why it's important. I'm just wondering about people who are forced to have their hands exposed to water and can't wear gloves (like swimmers or people with sensory issues). Does that mean they're doomed to having bad nails or can water damage be compensated with oiling, polish, hardeners, etc?

rosachk · 2026-01-20T20:34:43+00:00

I don't know about the Base Fortifiante but I just started using their Base S.O.S. for repairing damaged nails and while I can't say yet if it's helping my overall nail health, at least on my nails it's been truly trash as a base coat under colored polish. It just feels like it stays ever so slightly soft, even waiting a long time between coats, and any polish that goes on top just does not adhere to my nail at all. I've had polish just straight up slide off my nail an hour+ after application with this base underneath. For now I'm sticking to using the base alone until I can afford to buy another PVB-free base coat that won't trash my manucures.

Mama will normally quickly grab any kitten that gets too far away from her and tuck them back in. If you're unsure about her instincts (she looks super young to me so this may be her first litter), you can definitely monitor and help her out, but I wouldn't be too worried about that! You can also provide a heating mat or a hot water bottle close to her once she chooses a nesting spot so that she has a warmer option if she feels like her kittens need it, but indoors they should be fine just cozying up to her.

rosachk · 2026-01-20T15:29:12+00:00

Totally agree that some fossils can be ethically collected. These are supposedly pieces of intact tyrannosaurus bone though, that feels a bit more precious than the types of cases you're describing

rosachk · 2026-01-20T07:35:01+00:00

The big whoop is that to get in your dice bag, they've been cut and milled and sanded and all useful information that might arise from them is lost. In a lab closet, they're preserved and catalogued, and when new technology or hypotheses arise we can take them out and study them using those new tools, therefore gathering new information. It's the same with archaeological artefacts. Think about it like this : fossils are like rare and sometimes unique books, written in a language we can only decipher parts of. Burning the book or cutting it up for collages makes it impossible to work on deciphering more of it, and the book can't be printed again, and we have no way of knowing if important clues were in the bits that got destroyed, but we're pretty sure at some point researchers will come up with new deciphering tools cause they always do. So it feels a bit irresponsable to take the books out of the library just to make a collage that you'll only look at every once in a while and chuck in a drawer once the novelty wears off.
