yes.

Hey all!

I’ve been trying to get a reservation at a restaurant for over a year now—I don’t eat meat and they have a vegetarian tasting menu about once a year. I missed out last year because I was out of the country.

I was genuinely ecstatic when I saw they were offering this menu again and rushed to book my spot. When I got onto their site, I struggled to book the reso on for that date, so I emailed them and was unfortunately informed that they were fully booked for that night. However, they graciously offered to prepare the veg menu for me the following night! I am BEYOND EXCITED and feel so blessed and grateful that the chef has agreed to accommodate me (I don’t wanna say where out of fear of anyone who works there seeing this, but for more context: this is a restaurant steeped in cultural tradition that involves the consumption of meat (in a very particular way I guess), so for them to deviate from that is a big deal I think—and yes, I guess they’re doing it for a night already, but had this been any other month/week it’s very very unlikely that they’d be willing/able to do this for me—I am the luckiest girl in the entire world).

I feel like this warrants a gift, would that be weird? and, if not, what would be a good gift to get in this scenario! would love any advice :) Thanks!!!

​Bello Everyone!

If you've been around this sub lately I'm sure you've seen Minions and Monsters writer, Brian Michael Lynch, replying to posts/comments, bestowing his vast knowledge of our favourite franchise onto us redditors!

We, the mods and Mr. Lynch, thought it would be fun to do a more formal Ask Me Anything, where he answers some of our burning questions about the best yellow guys around and the latest and, in our opinion, one of the greatest films in the Despicable Me/ Minions universe!

We are very fortunate to have him discuss the film/cannon with all us followers of Gru, so please remember to stay respectful and kind (we WILL NOT hesitate to ban anyone who displays clear signs of being injected with the mutagen PX-41🟣).

He agreed to answer the questions asked under this AMA post near the end of the day (Thursday July 16th), so please ask away!

Also, should anyone have any logistical questions, please message us mods directly and hopefully we can help you out :)

is this maybe a hormonal thing? i’ve done two sessions with the braun silk pro 5 thus far and have noticed considerably less hair on my legs; with my bikini area, i’ve noticed slower regrowth and no razor burn w less ingrowns (i’ve also switched to a single blade razor and am now using glycolic acid after shaving, so that’s probably why); for my under arms i’ve seen no change at all. the hair is coarse in all three areas, like pretty much the same texture, soooo what’s up with the varying results? honestly i’m not too mad about it since the whole reason i bought this was for my bikini area, so i’m beyond happy with my results—just a bit curious if this is normal?!

edit: actually the back of my legs seem to be completely hairless after two days, they’re prickly in the front i’m so confused. i’m definitely not missing the entire front of my legs lol.

i foolishly tattooed myself under my pelvis at 14 and due to liberal shaving (probably), it has since grown hair. i just got my braun ipl machine to do my pubic area and it’s pretty much not possible to not go over the tattoo without leaving a patch of hair… which would look insane. i tested it on there today and it didn’t really hurt so i tested it on another shitty tattoo on my ribs and boy that one REALLY hurt😭. anyways, i know you’re not supposed to do this (i know there’s different frequencies with the lasers and whatnot) but what’s gonna happen? it’s already faded quite a bit, since it’s nearly ten years old, and i hope it disappears with this. like idk there’s hair on part of it so… i hope it disappears. obviously i wont be doing the other one again that was stupid and it’s been like 20 minutes and i’m still in pain i hope it’s okay 😭.

i’d love to hear of anyone accidentally or on purpose removing their tattoos with ipl!!

I was told this is a neurodivergent thing. I don’t think the muscles or ligaments work well atp. I cannot walk up stairs on flat feet, I’ve never been able to and now that I’m working out more, I find my body just doesn’t wanna do it and it like hurts to be off my tip toes. Does anyone else experience this?

For context, I am starting a new MA program in the fall. But I’m wondering if I should ask my MFA thesis advisor, who has more notoriety than any faculty in my new program, for a letter for the upcoming PhD cycle. I presume he’d send the same one with a few tweaks—since my thesis was nominated for the highest academic award in the country lol.

The main issue with my apps last cycle seemed to be the MFA credential not translating well, despite me being in a writing and research stream of the program rather than the practical/typical fine art path. (I am in canada and an MA is a requirement for entering a PhD programme, Americans need not advise if all you have to say is “you don’t need a master’s degree”).

I just wonder how that would be perceived. Like if it’s bad? Does it call back to something that set me back last round? I will most certainly have *a* prof from my new program write for me (likely my MRP supervisor). But, nonetheless, I do feel that he knows me and my work really well and is a great reference to have! I think I will also have my mentor who works in the US write for me. I think diversity of references (in terms of not only having profs from one university to paint a better picture of my post grad academic track record) could be a strength.

I have a 26 under bust and 33 over bust so technically a 30 or 32 D or DD but also can go down to 32 A (?). I love the implant look I want them to sit up more than a natural breast can. I want a high profile implant but i don’t want them to get too big; ideally the goal is to be a true D/DD. I don’t think a lift would give me the implant look (not like bolted on but yk when you can tell they’re fake), so I’m not super considering that atm.

I’m also not looking for CC number per se, but more so like idk I feel like there’s a good amount of boob fat or whatever there already and I guess I was wondering if other people have done this sort of thing?

I don’t wanna post on here my like inspo on here (because she is a friend of a friend and doesn’t have that many followers) but like the look a lot of LA/Miami girls have if that makes sense?

Sorry if this makes no sense but tldr; What should l do to get implants when I already kinda have boobs but don’t want them to be giant I just want them to look like implants?

this is my first time watching. is the reason she chose an epilogue ending purely creative or was the show canceled? can someone like explain if they got sufficient closure?

season six was like akin to that wellness retreat where the woman hannah sleeps with is about to cum and hannah just stopped eating her out. i have girls blue balls i guess.

I am half black, but as an adult, I’ve gotten super pale (like you can see my veins). I used to get so dark as a kid, but since puberty, I don’t tan. I’ve tried all kinds of oils, and today I tried using water because someone on TikTok said that works, and I’m still pale as a ghost. I’m not burning either though so it’s super odd. Is this something I should see a doctor for or is that like ridiculous?

I’ve seen a few posts on here with people who had similar experiences, though they never explain if this is something new or they’ve been that way their whole life (or the race/melanin factor), AND there’s really no answers.

PLEASEEE HELP

Let me just preface this by saying I have AuDHD myself and I’m on 40 mgs of Vyvanse.

I think this “friend” is a pathological liar; they claim to have AuDHD, but I was just discussing this with a mutual friend today who told me they are actually bipolar.

I have given them some of my medication before trying to be helpful as they told me they were out (had I known they were bipolar I most certainly wouldn’t have given them anything because I know how bad that can be for someone with bipolar disorder!!). Now it’s become a regular thing that they ask me for pills. I am not comfortable with this and I have told them no multiple times. I sort of half-lied and said that I don’t have any anymore because I was presumed to have some other health issues (POTS), so my doctor recommended I stop taking them for a month before I met with a cardiologist, so I really didn’t have any for a while and they stoped asking for a bit. Now I’m back on my regular script as my heart is fine (I just haven’t said anything and am still pretending I don’t have any), but they know my sister also has ADHD and now they keep asking me if i can steal her meds.

Which brings us to yesterday when they fucking Facetimed me, and the first thing they blurted out was “I dare you to steal your sister’s adderall.” I think she heard that and told my mum, because my mum just told me that she thinks I’m stealing her meds.

I’m beyond pissed at them, and I really don’t wanna be friends anymore. They ask me literally for free drugs all the time. It feels like they’re using me tbh and don’t even actually wanna be friends.

They asked to hang out today, and tbh, probably only trying to get meds as they do every time like I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I kinda hate them now and think they’re a pathological liar, but I don’t wanna tell our mutual friends. I want to end the friendship but like keep the peace idk. They claim to be moving away, but my friend thinks they’re lying about that as well. I hope they are like I’m just so done.

I tagged this under rant/vent but I would love advice if anyone has been in a similar situation or can advise me. I am so bad with boundaries in all my relationships and have struggled especially with addicts as my ex (who actually did have ADHD lol) was addicted to cocaine and really mean to me idk that’s a whole other thing i’m not trying to traumatize dump!! sorry!!
