Huh. I thought the video was going to be The Geologists are Coming before I read the rest of your comment.

Thanks! You’re the real MVP.

Until you can afford it deal with the more permanent solutions, I used to know someone who both waxed and epilated their beard.

They used stripless wax like GiGi Strip Free, a microwaveable wax that smells like pine resin you can get at Sally beauty supply. They also purchased an epilator from Amazon, which is a device that plucks hair in bulk and looks like an electric shaver.

Both methods are touchy but can give you a smooth face with a longer regrow time.

With waxing you have to be careful not to rip off your skin which is always a risk when waxing the face. Epilating just takes technique and pain tolerance.

Both are reportedly painful at first but you get used to it after a while.

Fascinating. I wish I could read the paper (RIP sci hub) but the article and the abstract are quite thought provoking.

Neat, thanks

Can someone explain to a layman what that less dense (appears darker) area is about? Just a random section of fewer stars or something else?

MASHED potatoes…

DAE catch the live marathon on YouTube for the anniversary? Fuck I forgot how absurd these shows were.

Seriously? That’s cool as hell.

Ditto.

Thank god. I cannot verify the quality of that trash based on my mental state by the time it was over. I hope no one ever reads mine.

Or at least someday I hope to overcome the PTSD and be able to read it again. In an ideal world I’d like to release an updated version/errata.

Guys, I put GW and SW instead of GP and SP and it makes me die inside.

Funny, they seemed to be released all at once. Was there some sort of coordination on TikTok?

Absolutely, well put.

Yeah but injuring the dude’s heart is way too far.

The appropriately-scaled reaction is to stab a pen into their arm. Or maybe a fork to the thigh if it’s accessible and it happens when you’re eating.

(J/k but like, barely)

Fuck prom. I lost it at prom my junior year because I was managing the logistics and social momentum for our entire group despite way too much petty high school drama, childish behavior, and real life drama (car breaking down). After basically pulling a damn miracle to make it happen we got there and the group was still bitching/snotty so I snapped, yelled loudly in front of teachers, and walked the fuck out. My date, who I had recently started semi-dating/hooking up with, went home with another dude. In hindsight I don’t blame her but we were supposed to be friends first and I thought she would be there emotionally for me instead of piling it on.

The next year I went but also had a shit ton of stress because I was getting everyone else ready and then no one would help me/gave a shit. My other friend started pouting at like noon that day because a different friend hadn’t finished sewing her prom dress as promised. So I literally (this was before YouTube) took her fabric and figured out to make a skirt and hand sewed it on the spot to make her happy (it looked great btw) but then I ended up looking like crap with terrible hair.

I wasn’t mature enough to not let everyone put their bullshit on me.

Overall it was stressful and lackluster. Other dances (esp. Halloween dance or sadie-hawkins) were much more fun because there was way less pressure. You could just show up and vibe.

Yes it has been a stark difference that picked up this month. I was in what used to feel like a chill community and the sheer vitriol of the threads the past week has been really annoying.

That’s pretty dope.
