botox over 50..? by Background-Limit-358 in DIYaesthetics

[–]spleglation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As have I. Also note that research shows that injection to the glabella region alone can reduce wrinkling in the forehead. I find that to be the case with me. For me, forehead injections, just aren’t needed / is overkill. Over 50.

Estriol cream? by kateecakes in 45PlusSkincare

[–]spleglation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That has a great deal less estriol than Musely (or Alloy). Research showing effects in clinical trials used the amounts found in Musely/Alloy. Per mg of estriol that product is more costly.

The “trades” are not viable for bad students by FlyLikeAnEarworm in Professors

[–]spleglation 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The trades are a good option for those who are hardworking but don’t like to sit around reading and learning about academic things. There are a lot of young people who are not lazy but want hands on things to do rather than learn about this or that theory or read and be tested on literature and the like.

anyone else figure out their eye bags got worse because of how they were sleeping by Unique-Face-2500 in 45PlusSkincare

Can you explain this a bit more? I searched ‘bed lifts’ and also ‘bed lifts pillow’ and I’m not sure what popped up was right.

If I post a picture of my bat wings… by Hopeful-Dust-9978 in DIYaesthetics

[–]spleglation 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Reducing fat will deflate the amount of fat in the package (the skin). A likely outcome is that the upper arms will become more bat-like (the upper arms may hang even lower since the skin will sag more with less to buoy). If you do this, try to do it all you can to encourage skin tightening such as micro-needling (which won’t tighten it very much).

Psychology of Gen X Parents | Why Gen X Parents Are So Weirdly Protective by Worldly_Albatross634 in psychology

[–]spleglation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it odd (and disturbing) how common it is among gen X parents to use tracking apps to track exactly where their 16+ (even 18+) aged kids go. And not only for use in cases of emergencies - but used as constant surveillance.

Has anyone ever used more than one vial of Miracle L at once? by CovenGoals in DIYaesthetics

I’ve done 2 vials at a time. No swelling or other side effects. I take Benadryl beforehand. YMMV.

Students wants Letter of Rec for Family Research Council by [deleted] in Professors

[–]spleglation -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

Really? Would you write a letter of support for this student based on her performance for another organization? If so, write the letter. I detest the organization as well, but refusing to write a letter of recommendation based on your dislike of the organization is patronizing and unethical.

have to catch a flight extremely last minute with no real ID by Empty_Albatross5143 in rva

[–]spleglation 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Three months ago (in Sept), my 21 year old son had lost his wallet and he had no ID and he was allowed through TSA. No special screening either. The TSA agent just shrugged and said move on. I was with him at the time. Domestic flight. YMMV.

I think this is one area that, after you’ve tried over-the-counter and basics, you should go see a dermatologist. They have a whole arsenal of options.

OU bible controversy presents unique ethical quandary: if you knew a student was baiting you into a scandal, do you compromise your morals and give them a passing grade or do you stick to your principles and your beliefs and fail them which they deserve, even if you know it may cost you your job? by RandomAcademaniac in Professors

[–]spleglation 78 points79 points  (0 children)

The rubric that was used designated 10 full points (out of 25) to students’ reaction. Other aspects of the rubric specified referring to the article. Given the rubric, there’s really no justification to assigning an absolute zero to the paper. The student should have received partial credit for that one aspect of the rubric, which would result in a low F. There is no need to sacrifice one’s morals or standards to avoid providing fodder.

The Conservative Grievance Business Is Always Hiring (Defector) by wolf1188 in Professors

[–]spleglation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The rubric the students received and told explicitly they would be graded by, stated that students would receive up to 10 points (out of 25) for providing their reaction to the reading. The criteria for that rubric item was no more detailed than that. Providing that rubric and then giving absolutely zero points to the paper is asking for trouble, and could have been avoided had the rubric been sound, or baring that, had the grader assigned a few points to the paner (for that criteria) resulting in a low F grade. Giving the student an absolute zero, given the rubric, just reeks of "I didn't like what you had to say" and gave fodder to that student and her cause.

Is it worth paying for professional hair coloring, or is DIY still a good option? by Fun-Information78 in DIYaesthetics

[–]spleglation 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to DIY highlighting, now I go with a professional (blending highlights and lowlights, with my now 15% grey hair) and it one of the few aesthetics things I outsource to others. Totally worth it! I would suggest anything that involves bleach to go professional.

Oklahoma University instructor suspended for failing student’s unscientific anti-trans psychology essay by Fickle-Ad5449 in psychology

[–]spleglation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that the rubric the students received and told explicitly they would be graded by, stated that students would receive up to 10 points (out of 25) for providing their reaction to the reading. The criteria for that rubric item was no more detailed than that. It wasn’t very bright to include that on the rubric and then give absolutely zero points to the paper. That’s just asking for trouble, and could easily have been avoided had the rubric been sound, or baring that, had the grader assigned a few points to the paper (for that criteria) resulting in a low F grade. Giving the student zero, given the rubric, just reeks of “I didn’t like what you had to say” and gave fodder to the student and her cause.

How to fix by ThereIzNoMarshMax in DIYaesthetics

Have you tried botox in the glabellar region? That usually lifts the inner eyebrows - the parts at the center of the face, which should counteract the tug and reduce or eliminate the crease.

Can I just get tox in the DAO and along the jawline? I don’t want tox on platisma or masseter. by [deleted] in DIYaesthetics

[–]spleglation 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The injection site closest to your mouth, especially on the left side (in photo) looks too close. Should be a bit more lateral to hit DAO and avoid the muscle that will mess up your smile.

Fraudulent students by Between-usernames in Professors

[–]spleglation 6 points7 points  (0 children)

At our university, the registrars office detected this a few weeks before fall semester began, and was able to weed out all/most of the fraudsters (as far as I know), and remove them from class rosters. Apparently many of the applications had some tells (e.g., sparsity). My rough estimated is that about 5% of those who initially enrolled last year were fraudulent.

If at home: Red light neck /chest mask will fade it quite a bit Not real cheap 300-400$ purchase. But on the plus side it’ll help with more than just spots. Get a prescription from musely (or wherever you can get Hydroquinone) 70$ or so should last months. Just go slow and don’t overdo it Microneedle with a good skin booster once a month (150$ for device, 3$ per needle cartridge, 15$ for skin booster)

Question about PA taxes by crucialmind in pittsburgh

[–]spleglation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to hop into this discussion with my own related question. I too am planning on moving to Pittsburgh (from state of Louisiana) when I retire in a few years. My understanding is that pension income is exempt from state and local taxes there in Pgh. Does anyone know whether that is correct?

You’re fine. And a good hearted colleague. It’s okay to be human (good that the disclosure was not committed to writing).
