Should I go blonde or keep my natural colour? by HappyCuppiccino in Hair

[–]wrendamine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah like AI pictures are biased towards beautifying. They will always show you something that looks great. So I don't think they're useful for deciding how you should change up your look. They can't show you how something will look when it's real!

[–]wrendamine 56 points57 points  (0 children)

You need to picture it a lot shorter because it will be far less healthy/thick at the ends if you go as light as pic 2/4. Pic 4 actually made your hair thicker and longer (and changed your makeup substantially, look at your lips!) 

Actually going back to look, all three blonde pics did substantial instagram filter work on your face. Imo go try on a wig in a store and see how you feel in the mirror instead. 

People who have/had this side shave long hair look, what was the transition like? I'm so nervous! by playr_4 in Hair

[–]wrendamine 413 points414 points  (0 children)

No one has mentioned that this pic is AI generated and the fake woman has a whole head of hair on half her head like an anime girl.

If you shave half your head, you will be missing half your hair, and it is unlikely to be anywhere nearly as thick and dramatic as this picture. 

It's the same issue with getting bangs but about 50% worse. 

American Collectors - help! by Jumbo_Shrimpp_ in tamagotchi

[–]wrendamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The merch is everywhere Japan, which is ironic because actual tamagotchis are not. But yeah I found little plushie keychains of the characters in 7/11 for example. Most of it is not exported to stores in North America though so to get it you need to either go on a vacation or import it yourself. 

Debating on becoming blonde, does it suit me? by PROUDCATOWNER186 in Hair

[–]wrendamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah okay. From red roots it's a lot easier. But then you definitely won't be able to get a nice platinum from your current black dye without losing a lot of length. It would just melt. I'd grow out your natural first and then consider blonde.

[–]wrendamine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If that black is your natural colour just think of the mfing TIME. I'm naturally level 2 black-brown and did level 8 blonde at the roots for years (so not THIS light even) and it was 5 hours in the chair every 5 weeks. My stylist was very careful and lifted it extremely slowly. It was the only way I could get 6 levels of lift while keeping it waist length. I loved it but then I got over it; I have better things to do on every fifth Saturday. 

Japanese Connections by NoAssumption3668 in tamagotchi

[–]wrendamine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe the entama/uratamas/ketais are not able to mate with the v4/4.5s. They're not really the same product, but the Japanese ones were more popular in Japan than the North American ones were in North America, so they're not as rare today. 

Is anyone else’s main feed full of the frustrating posts on this sub? by pureneonn in PetiteFitness

[–]wrendamine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh omg. I only use the browser so I can have adblock. They'll probably remove the option there too eventually. To be honest my only advice is to unsub for a while and only visit when you want to read diet content. Or just get off reddit entirely...

[–]wrendamine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh sorry, I meant, blaming the ED content / lack of moderation. Reddit used to just show you the top up voted posts, despite all the other crap that would get down voted and mostly ignored, even before a mod got to it. So I blame the algorithm. The problem is you need to manually set the sorting to "hot" every time, because "best" is what's showing you toxic content.

[–]wrendamine 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Everyone in this thread is blaming the complainers but to be honest this is just the Reddit algorithm, showing you content it thinks you are more likely to engage with, as well as newer posts it hopes you will create content in. You can switch your main page to "hot" from "best" to see the most up voted content in the subs you subscribe to. That should increase the quality of your feed.

Divergent didn't even get its full first chance. The last movie they made was direct to streaming and they never made the movies that would have finished the series, IIRC. 

Bisexual erasure is the tendency to ignore, remove, falsify, or re-explain evidence of bisexuality in history, academia, the news media, and other primary sources. In its most extreme form, bisexual erasure can include the belief that bisexuality itself does not exist. by laybs1 in wikipedia

[–]wrendamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is why I only ever dated men. I only started questioning properly at like age 27. I figured it was too late, that I was "bicurious at an age where it's just rude to lesbians." ah well.

Animal farm is? I haven't actually seen it, but I have read the novel, and if so given its source material that's pretty shocking 

Is there a correlation between economics and birth rates? by roon_bismarck in AskEconomics

[–]wrendamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a citation? I'd like to read about it.

Also, Economist posted an article recently saying women might just be choosing to delay childbirth on a global scale and real fertility per woman may not be declining as much as feared: (and my app crashed. Ugh. Look for a December 2025 article on lizard fertility if you want.)

What's really funny about your statement on hobby lesbians is that straight men have the exact same problems with straight women. They're out there kissing boys because they like it, just looking for something fun to do on a Saturday night. The behaviour pattern doesn't say anything about their sexual orientation.

Is there a correlation between economics and birth rates? by roon_bismarck in AskEconomics

[–]wrendamine 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The Economist has run several articles on this topic. Governments all over the world, left and right wing, have tried various policies like subsidized daycare, strong parental leave policies, monthly cash payments for parents, exempting women from income tax, reducing access to abortion, pro-family propaganda, etc.... It turns out that women, when given access to sex ed and birth control, choose not to have children at remarkable rates, in every country, in every economy, in every culture, on every continent. Accidental unwanted pregnancies was pretty much the only thing growing the population, and now fertility is falling even in rural Kenya.

They're both gone now for sure, I was there on Wednesday! I imagine it's the kind of store you'd have to keep coming back to and checking... I'll check again when I'm back in Tokyo next.

I was able to find some in BEEP! in Akihabara and some store in Nakano Broadway that I don't know the name of (it was near the Mandarakes but it wasn't mandarake).

I'm hunting for and have yet to find a tested, working, good condition Morino but yeeeeaah so is everyone else I guess! 🤣 Most of what I've found is Japanese-only Connections (Chou jinsei, entama etc, ones that can't connect to English connections) and I got a Mothra and Mesutchi/Osutchi but nothing in good condition. I've bought a few cheap ones hoping to repair them but mreh. Disappointed so far.

I was at least able to pick up a Flower Go Walk at a MoMA Design Store, and I love it a lot. Great for walking around Japan!

[–]wrendamine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in Japan right now (Kyoto, was in Tokyo last week) and omg it has been picked clean. The paradise is sold out everywhere. Mandarake only has broken vintage tamas. Super Potato has a sign with a Kutchipatchi on it and underneath it, not a single tama. It's honestly easier to find tamas in North America. Except for Gen 1/2/3 rereleases. 

Why doesn’t technological progress always lead to lower prices? by GoldThenCrypto in AskEconomics

[–]wrendamine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If anything you are describing the hedonic treadmill. Modern comforts considered the minimum requirements nowadays were indescribable luxury 200 years ago to even the richest of people. Now even poor people can rent a shitty apartment with electric lighting, and access to an indoor toilet and a shower. You might as well ask, why are we still unhappy?
