It doesn’t widen the follicle or anything, just dissolves the hair. If you leave it on a tch too long it does chemically exfoliate a bit—be VERY careful and obviously YMMV—which sort of makes it seem like it’s removing hair under the skin. It’s equivalent to a very, very close shave when done right, but it’s not…

I realize the article says don’t and people get burned, but I guess I just like playing with chemicals, because you can’t take away my Nair on my downstairs. It is SO MUCH EASIER with zero of the intensive pain of waxing (I can’t get used to waxing the labia, just can’t).

American Gods is good; I love Anansi Boys. It’s not as outright chuckley—though it is funny, full of sly humor—more ... fantastical? The way Gaiman writes contemporary fantasy is like magical reality meets surrealism.

Yeah, he was born in 1962 and she was born in 1966... they’re very close in age. But age is a trickster when you’re a filthy rich vampire like Salma Hayek!

Thank you! I am like your sister. I tend to be intense and I’m private when not online. I don’t have a lot of friends period, and in my case, I have had long stretches of time with no close female friends.

GLOW is pretty good; not what I expected when I started watching it (a bit more serious), and well acted. It felt very time-capsule-y to me, in a good way. I’m looking forward to the second season.

I’m dying.

I loved this interview, but now I’m obsessed with your comment because this sentence reminds me so much of my mother—in her most savage incarnation—that I can’t stand it:

It needn’t, but it’s only another way of communicating. That’s like asking, “Why would talking about their marriage play a part in anything?”

I think because I’ve done social media professionally in the past I’ve gotten especially forgiving of different user modalities... People interpret social spaces online *so* differently.

I find lots of “I WUV U” posts obnoxious, but in general I don’t feel dislike for the way people obviously exclusively pepper their social media accounts with the good stuff. As far as I’m concerned Instagram and Facebook are contemporary photo albums, and who saves photos of terrible memories? (Then again, I’m also…

So in my “real life” I have seen a lot of couples separate, then get back together, then fight publicly, then get back together, then fight privately... ad nauseum. Not that it means much, but they all have posted lots of happy looking Instagram photos, etc., whenever they’re having a Together Moment.*

That’s not what this is about, Troll Who’s Somehow Out Of The Greys. Mexico not *paying* for something has nada to do with Mexican emigration.

I love love love that haircut and I wish my hair weren’t curly so I could do it.

I like it a lot for leggings, but only leggings. I think I have like 10 of them from Fabletics?

Thanks! I will check it out, definitely!

For the sizes this seems to be targeted at, it is *not* more expensive than a proper bra. Once you go over a DDD, the prices for bras get bonkers.

It’s meant as a punishment, a long and extremely difficult one. The actively and with malice tried to ruin another person’s life—and almost succeeded!—for what looks for all intents and purposes like publicity for blogs/social media.

Statements like this make it sound like you are in support of 1-to-1 compensation:

What I’m learning from this comment section is that the numbers of people who read contracts are roughly equivalent with the numbers of people who click through and read source articles.
