So I tried the scotch tape thing and found that it lifted up my base coat. What am I doing wrong? Do I need cheaper dollar store tape?

Me too! I’ve never owned a car, so walking and public transit are my primary modes of transportation. I’ve had guys yell at me as they drove by a few times (less than 10), but never even caught what they were saying. Beyond that, I get a lot of attention from panhandlers and those people who want to sign you up to…

My TDEE given my active lifestyle is right around 2000. To lose a pound a week, I have to lower to 1200. That makes weight loss hard for me to do. I understand the logic in larger portions, but I can eat buckets of vegetables and still be hungry whereas a burger will fill me up for hours. If larger portions of the…

Well, that friend...that friend is the type who needs to be the most desired, the most desirable. It either stems from severely lacking self-confidence or having way too much. She's been on a string of married fathers, as though if she's able to get them to leave their wives for her, that's an accomplishment. She's…

You know, I chose "I look worse than people say", but honestly, the only two positive comments I've heard about my looks in the past couple of years are "you've never looked better" and "you're way out of my league anyways..." Is that it? Have only two people commented on my looks in that long of a time? And note,…

I was at a party and I heard the guy I was sorta seeing tell my best friend that he liked my body but hated my face. My friend burst out laughing to that. Really taught me something that day about the kind of company I kept. And I'm not even able to blame it on being young and naive about friendships/relationships.

Man, I look at myself and sometimes think, yeah, I'm attractive. But I've never for a second thought I was conventionally attractive. I feel like you have to look at all of my features as distinct entities apart from the rest. Because the whole package is like someone put together florals and stripes and called that a…

Oh, and Belgium's a hotbed for FTF recruitment. Their per capita number is insanely high! What's going on over there Belgium?!

I just came from a two-hour panel discussion on Foreign Terrorist Fighters and Radicalization. It's true, the numbers aren't high. That's good news. The bad news is that about 1 out of 9 comes back to their home country with intent to commit radical acts of violence on home soil. They are desirable candidates because…

This is totally fake. They played the same prank when Jay-Z had Blue Ivy. I remember the news about it. And if I remember correctly, Jay-Z just ignored it. Cos how do you go out in public and say, "no, I love my daughter, but I'm still rapping about bitches and hos. I'm just not referring specifically to her when I do…

Pro-tip: "So, my place or yours?" may not be sophisticated, great or ridiculous, but it's ridiculously effective.

www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness is a great resource. You don't need a gym, you just a few feet of space.

I'm 100% serious and it's something I struggle with and think about a lot. I appreciate your willingness to talk to me about it and read through my verbal diarrhea. But I'll be straight up. Nothing about your answers has been satisfying. It all comes across as sort of an "ehhhhh....some things will be ok, some things…

So to err on the side of caution, is your proposed solution that there be no cultural exchange at all? Or that it only goes one way (other races may be inspired by white culture, whites cannot be inspired by another culture)? Which cultures may exchange with each other? Do I need to stop practicing yoga because I am…

Mostly because nobody else knows that you got it from a traditional Native artisan. You're walking down the street wearing your beautiful dreamcatcher earrings that you bought from a woman who made it herself, and others around you are tsk tsking you because you're appropriating from another culture.

We were still going to be living together, at least for a short time. We had to fly back to our college town together after the holidays and he had to pack his things and move out. Refusing to see him when we'd have seats next to each other on a flight a few days later would have been a bit weird and not conducive to…

I assumed "without" autocorrected to "whiteout".

Oh, I can participate in this one..

The 16 year old daughter of that woman gained a similar amount of weight over the same time period (30 lbs and 34 lbs over 16 months, there's no statement about the daughter's weight over the second time period they refer to). The daughter was the fecal donor.

That's the lingo used on the reddit site. Everyone refers to the narcissist as Nbrother/Nsister/Nfather/Nmother, etc. That way, the readers know throughout the comment who the narcissistic parent is, who the enabling parent is, etc. It's just shorthand that's developed on that little corner of the internet. It's not…
