    Lol that's really funny...I actually hate yoga too, but it doesn't provoke rage, just annoyance because the last thing I wanna do is listen to some white lady done on about chakras! But for it to provoke anger in inmates is disturbing.

    Ha, I've never heard hunt and peck called "chicken typing" before, I kinda like it!

    I learned to type in junior high on a Wang (with the black and spinach-green screen), and our typing teacher would tape a piece of paper to the top of the keyboard. Our fingers went under the paper so that we couldn't see what keys we were touching. It made you learn quickly to find your home row keys, and after that learning to type was pretty fun and painless.

    Do kids not get a typing class anymore?

    ETA: before my typing class I 'taught' myself on a Selectric at my mom's office - man did I have to unlearn some bad habits!

    Oh man I tried meditation with Headspace too and I couldn't hack it. For some reason meditation made me so angry! Like this weird rage would come out of nowhere.

    I did find it frustrating that the narrator would give a prompt for what to do, then just enough quiet time to begin, and then interrupt my effort with his talking. Aggravating! But the anger was a separate thing.

    I always thought meditation was supposed to help you feel calm and grounded but all it did was frustrate me. :(

    Same here. I'm in my early forties and retired. Small house, no kids, and we don't carry debt beyond our mortgage, which will be paid off in 3 months. Not a fancy or flashy lifestyle by any means. It's possible, it just takes sacrifice and living well below your means during your earning years.

    We're pretty distant. I'm older but only by 17 months. I love my sister and wish her well but I don't trust her enough to be close with her. Our mother really did a number on us and I have to be very careful what I tell her, because I don't have any faith she won't share it with our mom. And it's a shame because if we could talk honestly I think we'd have a lot to commiserate on. As it stands we trade texts very occasionally, mostly focused on nostalgia for some TV show or game we played as kids. Never anything more personal than that. It's usually months between texts.

    Her dog died and I wanted to send a sympathy text, but my mother asked me not to because she wasn't supposed to tell anyone the dog died... well then why on earth did you tell me?!?!

    We are two women in our forties still goosestepping around a difficult mom who I strongly suspect is borderline, and because of the way she treated us growing up, our sibling relationship basically became collateral damage.

    ILNP has a crème one-coater black called Ink. For me, the formulas in that collection can last up to 9 days with the right prep.

    Prep really is essential. You could ask your wife to share her method, or alternatively, here's my routine:

    • Using a strengthening remover, remove any nail polish already on your nails.
    • Generously apply cuticle oil to your cuticles; make sure you really rub it in.
    • Use a glass nail file to shape your nails and a glass cuticle stick to gently push back your cuticles. Germanikure makes really great products.
    • Using 100% acetone and a q-tip or cotton ball, clean your nail bed. Avoid getting the acetone on your skin.
    • If your nails are weak, consider using a nail strengthening treatment. If my nails become weak or start to peel, I use Rejuvacote 2. But if your nails are in good shape, you can skip this step.
    • Apply one layer of base coat. I like Orly Bonder.
    • Once your base coat is dry, apply your nail color. One-coater polishes can be applied in a single layer, neither thin nor thick. Other polishes should be applied in thin layers, waiting for each layer to dry before applying the next layer. Cap the end of each nail (i.e., be sure to paint the free edge of your nail, not just the top).
    • Use acetone and an angled brush to immediately clean up any places where you paint "outside the lines".
    • Apply a thick layer of top coat, again being sure to cap the nail. You'll want a quick-dry topcoat because otherwise you'll be waiting forever for it to dry and will probably still wake up with sheet imprints on your nails. I've been struggling to find a top coat I really love. Seche Vive is doing pretty well for me but the bottle is new, so we'll see if it gets gloopy halfway through. Make sure you get Seche Vive, not Seche Vite. Seche Vite dries super quick and has a nice finish, but it causes nail polish shrinkage which is annoying.
    • After your polish has fully set and dried, apply cuticle oil again. I personally apply it after washing my hands every time, especially now that it's getting colder outside.

    Lastly: no standard polish or top coat will save your nails if you're rough on them, so consider using gloves to wash dishes, don't open cans with your fingernails, etc. Another option is gel polish, which is practically indestructible, but most casual nail polish wearers don't apply or remove it themselves, they go to a salon. But it'll last you a few weeks, more or less depending on how fast your nails grow.

    Good luck!

    Oh man it was a nightmare finding someone who would sterilize me. I was 24 when I started seriously looking, and I can't tell you how many doctors told me I'd change my mind about not wanting kids (insert huuuge eyeroll here), and one doctor even said that he thought my boyfriend was forcing me into it and that I didn't understand how permanent it was. Thankfully I did finally find someone to take me seriously but man, what a pain in the ass!

    Springfield Twp is largely progressive, I hadn't even noticed that our police had added the thin blue line to their logo. This doesn't represent the majority of people here, just the cops, whose biggest on-the-job risk is that someone might get in line ahead of them at Wawa.

I think this is on the Lemmy development roadmap, but until it's implemented, can we pretty please have the ability to do this through Jerboa? I'm still browsing all communities as a way of finding new communities to subscribe to, but there are some instances whose content I never want to see and they clutter up my feed. Blocking each individual community from these instances is a pain; there should be a better solution available.~~ ~~Thanks for your consideration!~~ Sorry guys I had a massive brain fart, I already posted a request about this a week ago. For some reason I can't delete this post so please ignore!

    Chin pimples?

    I've started to get these really deep pimples on my chin. They don't have a head and they seem to just stay there forever. I've always had pretty clear skin minus the occasional regular pimple so I don't know what to do about these. I'm assuming this is part of peri? Have any of you successfully gotten rid of these?

    Night sweats - halp!

    Hey guys. I'm 41 and pretty sure I'm in peri. My biggest problem right now is that I sweat *so much* at nighttime. I'm not a sweaty person normally but I get so overheated at night, and I wake up with a puddle of sweat between my boobs. We keep the bedroom at 64° at night so it's definitely not my environment, it's me. I had been taking ashwagandha which seemed to help, but didn't agree with me overall so I stopped. I've also read that vitamin E can be helpful, but I haven't noticed much difference with it. Can anyone suggest other supplements or whatever that I could try? TIA!
