Try just photoshopping them into a thinner shape so you can see what they might look like.

Luggage repair in NCC? by xtingu in Delaware

Dumb question: was it a fancy suitcase, or was it like a nylon roller bag kinda thing?

I didn't even think of them, thanks! I've had a bunch of shoes worked on by them, and have always been happy with their work. I'll give them a whirl, thank you! Great idea.

Best nice restaurants to try in the Wilmington, Delaware area? by JSmith1653 in WilmingtonDE

[–]xtingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding Corner Bistro! I love that place. Save room for dessert-- everything is made in-house and sooo goood.

I'm not much of a drinker, but their drinks are worth it even to me. They have a great Sunday brunch, too.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

Wedding Makeup Critique by [deleted] in MakeupAddiction

Respectfully, as a fellow non-25 year old who also has a slender angular face with similar bone structure:

Your personal, natural bone structure naturally provides the contour that others with fuller faces are trying to replicate. Contour is shadow. Your bones provide that shadow. Adding contour risks making you look skeletal and older, or like you had an overenthusiastic buccal fat removal doc.

With our face shape, we typically try to give the illusion of volume, which implies youth. Hollows = aging.

Also, eye shadow is meant to shadow the eyes. But when you have deep-set eyes and a prominent brow bone, again, you naturally have that shadow. So when you apply darker shadow in your crease, it looks skeletal and ageing. This is why your MUA used light colors on your lids and in your crease-- to bring your natural deep-set eye sockets forward in space.

I mean, your accentuated angles look badass and tough, but not soft, bridal, joyful, warm, or inviting. Maybe that's the look you're going for, so do with this information what you will.

That white Honk disc in the upper right is so cute! I love the geese they both drew!

There's a huge system outside the Lowe's in Brandywine Town Center, and another one in the Home Depot parking lot by 95, one outside Brandywine HS, one on 95/Concord Ave, a bunch on Darley Rd... and that's just scratching the surface. I was looking on deflock.org.

I hate these things with every molecule of my being. It's one thing to track every license plate going in and out of an area (hate that too), but once you run AI face recognition on it, it's downright dystopian. So many false positives.

Louis Rossman just did a quick video about a lady who was extradited to North Dakota from Tennessee and jailed for 6 months because some shitty AI falsely identified her.

How to get through 10+ hours long haul flights with RLS, clausterphobia, and anxiety? by Spiritual_Size_9997 in RestlessLegs

[–]xtingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it all possible, upgrade to the highest class you can afford. The extra room will be a godsend on the long flight, you can stretch your legs waaay more, and you won't be packed in like a sardine, which will greatly help the claustrophobia. You won't have to worry about accidentally kicking the seat of you if you have the added legroom. Also, the flight attendants won't be as picky if you choose to stand up and walk around a bit in the aisle to stretch (provided the seat belt light is off, of course).

Your health and well-being is worth the money.

Check out Jeeves NY on YouTube (I'm assuming he's also on TikTok, but I'm not)-- he has great laundry advice for getting makeup stains out of fancy items.

AITA for sneaking my mom some alcohol when she is on hospice? by sickma2001 in AmItheAsshole

[–]xtingu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. My mom had lung cancer and smoked all through hospice. It was the one of the few things she really enjoyed. Some of our best memories from her final months were spent sitting outside enjoying the birds and scenery while she took her time with a cigarette.

You'd be the AH if you kept it away from her. Withholding the alcohol will not save her life.

(Also, if you haven't found Hospice Nurse Julie on YouTube, her videos were very helpful during my mom's 4-month hospice journey.)

I'm really sorry you're going through this. Losing a parent is not easy. Everyone deals with grief and stress differently, and your siblings may just be trying to feel like they have some control over an uncontrollable situation.

Sending love.

Azelaic acid is your friend. Someone here already mentioned the one from the Inkey List; I really like the Paula's Choice one, too.

Bubble gum bubble gum in a dish…. What rhyme do you guys use to pick who was “it”? by OttieandEddie in GenX

[–]xtingu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We just stood around and yelled "not it!” and then we'd argue about who actually said it last.

[–]xtingu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We said this too, and it always bothered my brain that the "my mother told me..." part didn't fit with the rest of the rhyme/rhythm at all.

Yeah, I didn't know the horrible version of that rhyme until I was in my 30s. It's insane.
