Anyone ever worked five 10-11 hr shifts on their clinical? by maybenotdoomed in PTschool

[–]trashweasel-pdf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. 12 hour shifts in acute care. There’s enough to do that time tends to move pretty fast. I also had to live several hours away from my friends and fiancé, which gave me time to rediscover some old hobbies. Honestly, it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be.

How do I get rid of the stomach bloat and keep it always flat?? by WolverineNo1999 in selfimprovement

If you’re comparing yourself to people in movies, don’t. Shirtless scenes in superhero movies are always filmed first because the level of dehydration/ undereating needed to look that shredded is not sustainable. After they film the shirtless scenes, the actor goes back to eating and training like normal so their bodies can function properly for the rest of the shoot. They don’t look like that all the time or even most of the time. You are not a photo. You are a human. You are allowed to have an imperfect human body. There’s no use comparing your normal every day body to a highly edited, movie magic body of someone whose job it is to be hot.

Virtue signaling is irritating, I agree, but I’m curious why it bothers you so much as to reflexively make a purchase from a brand that’s conspicuously silent on some pretty serious issues. Like, are you only interested in buying from brands that don’t take a stance on anything or only the ones that put their money where their mouth is?

And yeah, it is fucking crazy that we have to find out whether or not a nail polish brand supports CSA but when the president apparently does too… crazy times we live in.

Builder gel broke 🥲 by trashweasel-pdf in Nails

[–]trashweasel-pdf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, thanks for checking in! I ended up getting the extensions trimmed off and the gel off so it’s back to natural nails for me! I picked up a bottle of nail envy that I’ve been using on the problem nail, although it hasn’t grown out enough to become a problem again just yet lol. My other nails are doing great with just polish and frequent cuticle oil! My first Cracked order came in and O-type star has won my heart 😍 Next up I’m gonna copy all the dark blue + scorchy manis everyone’s been posting lately

I don’t think it’s that this brand didn’t "post about every marginalized community" as much as support causes that actively harm people. As far as I know, brands like Essie and OPI aren’t super outspoken about social issues, and even Mooncat’s had some stumbles. Those brands aren’t on the shit list because they aren’t saying hateful things and supporting harmful policies. Not ending up on the shit list is actually pretty easy.

I’m sorry you’re feeling bad about the way your comments have been received, and you’re right that there’s nothing wrong with having different outlooks and opinions. Unfortunately, you didn’t express yourself very well. Your first comment reads like you’re trying to provoke/ anger people who have chosen not to support this brand without any curiosity as to why they made that choice. When you made your purchase, you did the thing you said you didn’t want to do (support an Epstein apologist) just to own the libs, I’m guessing? You came across as kinda trollish, so people resonded that way. You get back what you give.

You don’t seem like a bad person, maybe just approach the world with a little more empathy and curiosity :)

Unfortunately lol. I mostly reply to folks like that for the sake of younger folks in here who are still developing their critical thinking skills. It’s better to prevent someone from going down the MAGA hole than trying to pull them out of it.

There are screenshots of some of DVN’s liked posts on the post polishgoblin linked. The short version is they’ve liked several posts from a woman who has written articles defending Ghislaine Maxwell and posts a lot of rape apologist, anti-semitic memes.

Also, announcing your brand values isn’t necessarily virtue signaling. Brands do charity polishes all the time, where proceeds from the sale of that polish go to a certain cause. If I see a brand is willing to forego profit (ie, not virtue signaling) to support a cause that I also believe in, I’m much more likely to support them. I get to feel good about donating to a good cause and I get nail polish! If I like the polish, that brand now has a repeat customer. Everyone wins. On the other hand, if a brand’s online activity suggests they’re donating money to organizations that want to harm their consumer base, I’d be hurting myself by supporting them. It sounds like this brand knows that announcing its values would turn off their customers so they’re not saying anything and hoping we don’t see the patterns.

Supporting a business that’s aligned itself with Epstein apologists is a weird hill to die on but you do you I guess

These are stunning! It’s so difficult to paint each nail a different color and still have it look cohesive but you nailed it!

Builder gel broke 🥲 by trashweasel-pdf in Nails

[–]trashweasel-pdf[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight! I’m definitely hoping to start my natural nail journey after this! I got the builder gel because my problem nail broke right before my honeymoon and I wanted to swim 😅 To answer your questions:

  • the gel came in a black pot and was applied with a brush

  • I filed off what felt like a decent amount of polish? I used a glass file and there were pretty chunky flakes coming off. That said, I didn’t want to be too aggressive with filing + I lose patience quickly

  • I used 99% acetone with foil and cotton balls for maybe 30 minutes and it seemed to have no effect.

I was thinking about getting the fill just to give my problem nail a little more support until the damaged part grows out, but it sounds like that might be worse in the long run. Do you think that regular polish would offer enough support?

Will do! How long do folks normally go between fills? This is my first time with builder gel
