I learned back in the '90s to keep my eyebrows away from trendy salons. The cheaper places staffed entirely by Vietnamese women with limited English proficiency are where you want to go if you want your eyebrow waxer to do what you ask. And you can tip 100% and still walk outta there richer.

This is your mother speaking and honey, it’s just not attractive on you. Any of you. 

Well, I think the take-away here is that the first search should have been “how to erase your google search history”.

I’m going to rang here. I worked in social work when I left University and I saw the impact of high-rise living amongst the population of my city. People think super-talls and high rise apartments are the way to go. It depends on where you’re living. In my city - Glasgow - we built dozens of high-rise apartment…

Most (all?) commercial carpet deodarizer products are mostly baking soda.  People have been using it for decades on carpets, with no problem.  I suspect the issue now is that weak robot and stick vacuums have become so popular.

Though mainstream depictions of AI often read draconian, when used properly, chatbots can help relieve depression, anxiety, and loneliness.

The average person, seemingly, is just kind of like this.

“They said I need this. And I had a lot of mixed feelings,” she said.

Many meds are. Synthroid, insulin, heart medication and many more. Why are people acting like this is a failing. Sometimes you need to keep taking the meds. That’s what they’re for. 

I feel like I might come across as an asshole about this, this is also what happens when you come off a super restrictive diet and fall back into previous eating habits. I guess my question is, did she change her eating habits while she was on the drug, and then not stick with it once she stopped taking it, or is…

But she didn’t want to become reliant on it and stopped taking it a few months later. She told Hirsch that she gained back double the weight she’d lost, and her binge eating worsened dramatically.

Not exactly surprising. The drug works, but you can’t really stop taking it or you’ll gain the weight back (if you don’t want to take it more or less indefinitely, then you should probably look into bariatric surgery instead).

all of this celebrity “getting in shape” stuff is such bullshit.

Remember, the right wing and the underlying fascist movement are way ahead of the Democrats on using social media. Plus, if you are the side telling the truth, it’s hard to combat the lies and conspiracy theories.

I don’t get the cynical reaction to Democrats’ call for people to vote. It’s not a one time thing, you can’t just show up every 4 years. You got to vote every year, for every level of government: local, state, and federal. The Trump years should’ve taught us how fragile democracy is. 

The latest episode of America’s Test Kitchen has a recipe for Baci di Gama, a sweet hazelnut sandwich cookie with chocolate inside. It’s a shortbread type dough, very tender. They grind the hazelnuts very fine with the dry ingredients so the dough can be rolled. With a few tweaks, and substituting Rondele for the…

They aren’t runny but I’m sure this isn’t the most important thing you will be wrong about today.

What about the three sea shell method? 

Here’s hoping they self-destruct over it, like what happened with Tumblr (Tumblr booted their NSFW content, then collapsed in valuation and user numbers and got sold for less than $3 million). 

It’s already happening. I know many people whose posts were removed on instagram. And, I’m not talking about posts with nudity or semi-nudity or even sexuality. A friend with a good sized following posted a fundraiser for a trans organization (entirely text based, no images), and it was removed.
