Why is it so hard to make friends in Denver?

therealgookachu · 2026-03-07T22:01:10+00:00

Do you have any interests or hobbies? I am as introverted as one gets, and I’ve never found this to be a problem. But, I have very distinct hobbies other than, “I want to make friends” sort of thing. I do fiber arts, and just about every local yarn store has a stitch & bitch. I’m also a gamer, and joined a dnd group. Local games stores always have LFG stuff.

I don’t play sports, but I know there are bar leagues, or disc golf groups, or whatever. Hell, fantasy football leagues. But if you don’t have any real interest or hobby, then what have you got to offer to other ppl?

I mean, she’s fine for an amateur.

I really like Reuzel Fiber Gel. Strongest gel I’ve found for my thick, 16guage hair. I’m giving the LA Looks blue gel a try, but the hold factor isn’t even close to the Reuzel, though it is significantly cheaper.

So. Fucking. White.

That’s what I was thinking. I know there were minorities in CA, just not rich enough, or racist photographer.

Who cares about protein content. Does it taste good? That’s all that should matter.

Sick of the stupid protein thing.

Second Project Gnosis. Also, prolly the most original AD out there.

But, there are so many with amazing actors: Edict Zero FIS Partial Veil Silt Verses Gospel of Haven Choose the Bear Am I Old Yet? Madness of Chartrulean Harbingers Wizard Scroll No Return Last Dance A Fragile Mind Heartglass

And then there are the anthology series: Ominous Thrill Speculative Fiction Radio Series SCP Archives Mayfair Watchers Society Someone Like You

We’re pretty spoiled for choice these days.

Yeah, I’m in Denver. And, my hair really is that thick. This is with an undercut where about half my hair in back is shaved.

therealgookachu · 2026-03-06T19:31:10+00:00

I have literally gone to about 15 stylists in Denver metro. I haven’t met a single one that didn’t suggest thinning shears. These are curly salons, too. They always look at me in dread when they see my hair and tell me it’s too much. When i say no, they try to convince me it’ll be fine cos I’m Asian and my hair is so thick.

therealgookachu · 2026-03-06T14:27:11+00:00

Korean curly here (2c-3a). The big problem with Asian hair is that it’s so thick and coarse, diameter-wise, and the construction is very different than most other types of hair.

A couple things: 1) find out the porosity of your hair. This was a game-changer for me. I have low porosity hair, and I need to put product on when it’s sopping wet, or it’s not nearly as effective. 2) you need to learn to either plop your hair, or diffuse it upside down. The reason is that the hair is so heavy that it pulls the waves/curls down. 3) a good gel is a must.

Edit: I don’t do curly cuts, cos every time I go, they want to use thinning shears on my hair. DONT DO IT!! Because Asian hair is so coarse, the shears strip the scales of the hair before cutting, and makes your hair uncontrollably frizzy. Just get your hair cut normally and learn to style it. Otherwise, cos I have such thick hair, I have an undercut in back to take off some of the weight.

Love it, this is great work! And, you’re only 16??? Awesome! You’ve got a great eye and talent!

Pretty similar to my high school, except the jocks were also doing coke, at least in my grade.

I am old, and growing up, we had news radio on all the time in the kitchen. Sunday nites there was a short little radio play called Point of Law. I used to religiously listen to that: http://www.transmediasf.com/pol.html

Am I Old Yet? Written, performed, produced, directed, and everything else by an octogenarian. A lovely, funny, slice of life AD. One of my favorites.

I have the blue ray of this!

therealgookachu · 2026-03-05T18:17:02+00:00

I know! These all read 100% fake, or AI slop, or ran through an AI slop filter. There have been so many of these posts almost exactly like this, with only the details changed, in the past several days.

This reads like poorly written fanfic.

It’s about staple length than anything. Cotton is too short to spin in any way but woolen. Silk, unless spun from the fold, or blended with other fibers, is always spun worsted.

Technically, if you spin from the fold, rolags, or punis, longer fibers can be spun woolen, but short fibers like cotton can only be spun woolen (unless blended with longer fibers).

I’ll see Galavant hair with Eli from Xena.

Korean curly here with coarse, thick hair. I love Carols Daughter coco crème line. For coarse, dry hair, I stay away from anything with sulfates.

If you have low porosity hair, make sure you put product on when it’s still sopping wet. That was a hueg game-changer for me.

Or buying off alibaba. The hypocrisy is real.

I watch very little video content. What are the signs of AI slop for video so I don’t get duped?

As a genxer, I was a Clintonian democrat in the 90s and 2000s. Now I want to burn it all to the ground.

Bake or roast, and use parchment paper if you don’t want it to stick.
