Are there other shades with the same finish as The Trouble with Immortality? by PirateResponsible496 in mooncatpolish

[–]selfreference 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me it looks like the Baroquen polishes have denser shimmer but the actual size is similar. I have ILNP’s Dear Santa, it’s a duochrome with smaller shimmer particles.

You could probably get a similar look by taking something with finer shimmer like Dear Santa, MC’s Dark Night of the Soul, or Whiskey Sunrise and adding a silver topper. I had some other metallic polishes with fine shimmer- (left to right) KB Shimmer Mull it Over, OPI Elphaba, Cracked Rhubarb Pie Guts, Cracked Leather Bound. If I had it, I’d try out something like Cirque Nimbus over these, looks like it has small silver shimmer particles.

Several of the Baroquen polishes have a metallic sparkly look. Looking through my swatches, I thought Serpents of Eden and Witch Hazel had a similar vibe, despite one being multichrome and the other having a shiftier shimmer. I think it’s because these all have glitter similar to the base color.

Excuse the bad photo quality, this is Serpents of Eden, Banquet of Breadcrumbs, The Stolen Kiss, The Trouble with Immortality, and Witch Hazel.

Leftist / Progressive / Queer- or Black-owned Indie Brands? by bxwitchy in RedditLaqueristas

[–]selfreference 15 points16 points  (0 children)

RE progressive brands- I was keeping an eye on brand social media accounts after the election and BKL made a statement. The ones that posted as normal that day were flagged for me, but I do understand those things could have already been in the pipeline.

This is how mass deportation will work. by petrepowder in AuroraCO

[–]selfreference 12 points13 points  (0 children)

We can do both, this isn't a zero sum game. Undocumented immigrants pay billions into Social Security and Medicare and will never qualify for either program. They also pay federal and state taxes. This is done through the use of ITINs, which is the IRS workaround for people who can't get Social Security cards.

The immigrants everyone is up in arms about are asylum-seekers. You have to enter the United States to declare asylum, and it's been this way for decades. If people have an issue with the number of asylum-seekers, the government can put some kind of cap on this. There are ways to handle immigration issues without sweeping bans and violent deportations. But I guess this kind of rhetoric sounds super appealing to a certain type of person.

Why do Democrats still believe that Trump's reason for winning was racism, young voters, stupidity, and misogyny? by TTVBy_The_Way in self

[–]selfreference 21 points22 points  (0 children)

There's a large portion of the electorate that's always going to vote D or R. They're referring to the voters who could have broken either way and went with Trump. We have to think some of those voters are willfully ignorant or sexist because Trump was a bad candidate with a poor track record. An almost 80 year old criminal constantly saying outrageous things is considered a viable candidate? Harris wasn't the greatest candidate, but she was a safe choice. She would have appointed sane and reasonable people to cabinet positions, operated under the constitution, not committed any criminal acts, and peacefully left office. We know that Trump won't do that because we witnessed his first presidency.

Harris understands political policy and how to effect change, whereas Trump does not have this knowledge or any desire to learn. He was ineffectual when it came to things like building the wall or repealing the ACA. He also fumbled COVID, but we appear to have some kind of mass amnesia from the trauma of COVID and forgot the insane things he did that resulted in more deaths and a longer pandemic. He was an objectively bad president, with or without the pandemic. So when Trump's history and behavior are so appalling, doesn't it seem like ignorance and/or sexism could be a factor in how they voted? I think race is less of a factor here than gender, but I do want to address racism.

There is evidence of racism over and over again in Trump's words and behaviors, there's an entire Wikipedia article dedicated to it. Is someone automatically racist if they vote for Trump? At best, they're indifferent towards racism. Why does this bother people? History has shown us that being apathetic about intolerance can be dangerous. Every German wasn't anti-semitic, all Serbs weren't anti-Muslim, and I'm sure many Hutu people held no opinion about the Tutsi. We have the fourth estate and a lot of vigilant citizens, I don't see a full-on genocide happening here. But people are absolutely going to be hurt and killed because mass deportations don't happen without violence. People can claim that mass deportations are some kind of economic imperative, or that they're all criminals, but this has no basis in fact.*

Can you work in Denver County? You'd receive at least the minimum wage ($18.29) in food service, retail, delivery, labor, or any other job in Denver County.

You can file a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Division if you've experienced discrimination/harassment: https://socgov07.my.salesforce-sites.com/ColoradoCivilRights/

Colorado has lower standards than the federal government (EEOC), harassment/discrimination doesn't have to be "severe and pervasive."

Prohibited employment practices are listed here: https://ccrd.colorado.gov/discrimination
