Thanks, I’ll have to check that out next time I’m in the PA Wilds!

That’s a little harsh. Smoking projects the exhaled smoke from the body and into the air around them. But perfume is sprayed on the wearer, not into a public environment. There are definitely people who wear too much perfume, which I agree is really rude, but if you’re wearing perfume properly the scent shouldn’t project past your personal space.

Yup! I love fragrance and I switch it up every day. I don’t just wear the same scent over and over because I’m afraid of going nose-blind to it and becoming one of those people who uses way too much without realizing it. And also because I like variety! I look forward to choosing the day’s fragrance based on my mood and plans.

I lean toward fruity, gourmand, and spicy scents with a little sweetness, but not too sweet - I don’t want to smell like dessert - and I prefer complex fragrances over more straightforward ones.

I will say, I’m mostly not nuts about body sprays. Some are fine but a lot of them smell kind of sharp/acrid to me, probably due to a higher alcohol content in the formula. I like a more mellow fragrance.

Have you been to Cherry Springs? The stargazing there is really amazing.

I will buy this adorable sheepo

To be fair, hilter was the wooooorst ;)

I wonder if that post was deleted - if so, then it’s definitely for the best!

Have you tried silicone nipple shields? They stick to your skin without requiring adhesives and should easily stay in place inside a bralette or sports bra.

Jesus christ. I saw a thread in some other community the other day about Women’s Stuff and the men wah-wah-wahing like little babies about this sub were ridiculous. Same thing - in that thread some man was saying that when he replied to threads here he felt like he had to walk on eggshells.

You guys, all we want is one tiny corner of lemmy to ourselves. Somewhere we can talk about things that uniquely affect us -or- perhaps they affect men too but they affect us in a unique way due to our gender. And many men are cool with this concept and generally supportive (and a sincere thank you to those guys!) but a significant number are butthurt little babies about being unwanted here.

Those are the same butthurt little babies in the Fox News poll. If you can’t keep it civil in the workplace I don’t know what to tell you other than you’re a low-quality human. Have some fucking empathy.

Edit: here’s the post I was talking about.

I was gonna go with Sam Kinison but yours is way better.

Do you mind if I ask you - I’ve always been curious how anyone could join the military and not bother with politics. Don’t they want to know what they might be sent to fight for? Is it just blind trust that the government will use the military wisely, or is it being young and dumb and possibly poor, or is it the appeal of the GI bill? Or - you’ve mentioned Bush and I assume you mean W, not HW, and if so you must be roughly my age. Did they mostly join in response to 9/11?

If you’re willing to share a pic of your current eyeliner attempts, I could take a look and provide some tips for improvement.

But generally, decide what you’re lining - top lash line is most common; I think bottom liner might still be out of style? (I don’t care, I still rock it anyway, but it’s something you might want to check on.) You could also tightline, which is using eyeliner on your upper and/or lower waterline (the thin part of your eyelid between the lashes and eyeball).

Assuming you’re doing top and/or bottom loner: start with a sharp eye pencil and draw the line as thin as you can to start out. This will give you a sketch to build on. Try to hug the lash line as much as possible - make sure you can’t see skin between your lash line and eyeliner. Avoid lining the inner corner of your eye (it can look weird; usually I save that for a more editorial look).

Once you’ve done this with both eyes, compare them and make any adjustments needed until the shape and line width are the same. Then you can dull the tip of your eye pencil (try tapping it gently against your palm a couple of times) and start building the line up to your preferred width. Go slow and switch back and forth between your eyes as you go to make it as symmetric as possible.

The kind of eye pencil you use will make a huge difference. You want one that’s got a nice creamy formula because those are easier to work with. I’m a fan of the Urban Decay 24/7 liners - they come in loads of colors and last a long time. Almost any color is fine to start with except Perversion - that one has a more difficult formula. If you want black, try Zero -

- or for a nice soft grey-brown shimmer, my favorite is Mushroom!

Generally when you’re starting out, don’t go for something more complicated like winged liner until you’re confident with basic liner. And when you’re ready to try wings, you can get liquid eyeliner wing stamps (search on Amazon, there are a ton), or you can try with eyeshadow and an angled brush (much more forgiving than a pen!).

Another piece of advice: YouTube has loads of makeup tutorials, so you might want to look for a basic eyeliner tutorial there.

Good luck!

You can count on that

Man when I was growing up my dad told me it was for a quarter in case I needed the pay phone and I never questioned it.

This looks very slick, but I hope it isn’t style over substance like Discovery was. Discovery was terrible but it sure did look nice. I’m keeping my expectations on the floor for this show.

Awww goober looks like a sweetheart 🤍

Aw, dip

They’re comfortable, super easy to clean, and stay in great condition with minimal effort. My car has cream-colored leather seats with a seat warmer, so they’re a comfortable temp in both summer and winter.

Aw Bear is so cute
