Me: if I DIY I'll save money!

My 30 bottles of nail polish plus files and oils:

You 100% are judged on your looks. As someone who's assigned female though, and usually lets interviewers read them as such initially, I have something to add.

There's a VERY specific type of look women have to have in order to be seen as professional. You have to be as flawless as possible, but you also have to be understated. Any 'fun' type of femininity is looked down on. The long lashes, long nails and red lips definitely fall in that category. 'Professional' for women means you have to spend a lot of time and money on skin, makeup, jewelry, nails, hair, clothing, but you can't have fun with it.*

Personally I'm in stem academia, where it's expected that you look like you don't spend any time on your appearance at all. Otherwise it'll be assumed you can't keep up with the men. Still can't have, for example, body hair though.

*Unless you happen to have fun with nude colours and understated jewelry and fashion. Nothing wrong with that!

Id look like that if I was using Microsoft software, too.

I have autistic sensory issues and the cheapest one I can at all tolerate to have on my skin is 15€ for 50ml. I have so many of the 5-10€ bottles at home and can't handle any of them. Fml

Half ashamed to admit but I'm white and sometimes something like that slips out when I see my partner. How are some people so perfectly milk coloured

'more damaging' is unfortunately not a simple linear scale. One requires more space, the other releases more poisons into the environment. Both suck. But if production becomes plant based at the same time as organic, there'll still be way less space used overall. Cursory searx tells me 3/4 of agricultural land is used for animal agriculture (including growing feed). Horribly inefficient.

My mum made the decision to not let me skip any grades as well as not let me be tested got ADHD and still is like this.

This follow along while helping family is 100% why I keep a windows partition.

I've had 2 or more messenging apps for about a decade now because of this.

I was like 9, which would make it like 2006, and I remember just typing 'Star Wars' into YouTube with my sibling every time we were on the PC unsupervised. The culture at the time in my area was very much that the internet wasn't for kids.

I have sensory issues and don't handle crowds or noise well, I have fun for a little bit if it's not all too crowded, but then I crash hard while still there. After 1st of May I slept 19:00-11:00. And that's in a country where the very worst I've personally witnessed police do was surround and unjustly arrest people. But if I can spare the resources, it's totally worth it.

It feels like there's reason to inflate those numbers both for Israel and Palestine. Do we know they're credible? Genuinely asking, I'm not sure from my cursory searx.

Everyone basically saying that you can fuck yourself and should never drive again is a bit of a dick at best. It's ofc perfectly fine to not want to drive. But if you do have to, or if you end up wanting to in the future, it's not like this was your only chance and you can never again learn. If you want/have to get back to it, please practice with someone experienced in a calm and safe environment. Pay for an instructor, go to and empty parking lot, etc. Take as much time as you need before you're good enough to drive in traffic again.

you're done with your research before there's any official ruling

This really isn't how science works at all. Results that aren't reproducible and can't be retested under varying conditions are almost completely meaningless. And no way to find out if it's (justly or not doesn't even matter) decided that you can't do that kind of experiment shortly after your single one experiment is over.

I'm not saying more kids die in traffic over there. I'm saying people have to be, and are, way more careful to keep their kids away from traffic.

That, and streets are deadly hellscapes over there a lot of the time. Driving laws are barely enforced and infrastructure is almost like it's intended to kill anyone who dares to exist outside a car.

Oooh nice! Acids have been a life saver for me in my salt-reducing journey.

It isn't. Soap is the salt of a fatty acid, sodium lauryl sulfate is a salt, but not of a fatty acid. Both are surfactants (meaning it breaks surface tensions), but have some different properties. A relevant difference in cosmetics is that SLS strips oils waaay better, which can damage your skin barrier and your hair. For some people it works fine, for others it's too harsh and soap is better. (For me it damages my hair structure and thus makes my waves lackluster, but is fine in shower gel)

Even just some lime juice, black pepper, maybe olive oil would probably be great! I might try that with tofu.

Also 172/5'8 and same, several times! Even from me who were still taller than me! Also dated someone who didn't care and was 175/5'9 and when we went out together and my shoes made me taller than him, we'd get an average of like 10 comments, all from men, about it. Lots of friends have told me their only slightly taller ex bf wouldn't 'let' them wear heels.

Also, on a dating app, I'd get about 50/50 matches from masc and fem people when I didn't list my height. When I did list it, I'd get mostly fem ones, and all the masc ones were tall. And fewer matches overall.
