I am almost 40, and have been a VP of Engineering at multiple silicon valley based tech companies. Still I have an uncle who I'm quite sure doesn't trust me to touch any of his computers because in the 90s I definitely bricked more than a few of his PCs by fucking around and finding out.
Ah OK, I was born in Dayton, grew up in Kalamazoo, so that rings true to me. Best of luck to you in any case (as a multiracial weirdo I noped the fuck out of the Midwest long ago, but still have a sweet spot in my heart for Lake Michigan coast in the summer, skidding down sand dunes that make a weird squeaking sound)
Where do you live that middle schools have cops and carry guns? My kids attend the utmost progressive hellscape that is Berkeley Unified School District and I feel like any cops at all in middle school or lower would be protested harder by the parents than the students.
Sikhs want Punjab to be its own country, separate from India. India post Congress is ruled by Hindu nationalists who want to rewrite history books and erase anything positive that happened in precolonial India (which wasn't really a country in the modern sense, but a changing set of integrated states) under non Hindu rule. The BJP are fascist shit stains and literally ordering hits on Sikh activists abroad for trying to promote Sikh separatism. There's really not much more nuance than that. Fuck Modi.
Oh interesting I'll tell my wife. I still continually deal with the unibrow myself. But high quality microblading is way different than normal tattooing esp in the appearance of texture, it's quite amazing. Also pretty freaking expensive.
In the early 2000s plucking and waxing your brows to really really thin was fashionable, esp in certain places. Then people realized it is dumb but if you are around 40 now it was too late. So microblading helps you not look like a MadTV sketch. Source: my wife turns 40 this year, grew up in a particularly hood area of the sf bay area, and from 30 onwards really regretted plucking her eyebrows to almost nothing.
Dragged through the mud by a committee led by our current Democratic president... who still hasnt actually apologized beyond "I wish I could have done something". Motherfucker you presided over the committee you could have done many things but were power hungry and sexist so didnt!
Dr bronners for skin and hair (I have very thick indian hair in jata style dreadlocks down to my knees). For a long time I used a charcoal based face wash (lush until they changed their formula for coal face, then some similar brand I found on amazon) but for whatever odd reason after a few years my skin stopped tolerating it and kept breaking out, so I switched to Kate Somerville's sulfur face wash which works wonders (but does have a bit of a smell to it unfortunately).
