Hair type 2b/c, medium thickness.

I usually handle my frizziness by keeping my hair tied in a braid.

But I’ve been going to more events lately and wearing my hair down more but within a few hours of humidity, it starts to look bushy.

How do I maintain its smoothness I get before I step outside?

I know how we view ourselves is a different thing. Sometimes I look at my scars and feel like it’s okay. Other days, the shadow is heavy and it looks awful to me.

If I stare at it up close, I could feel like that. When I see other people, it’s something I notice but I don’t make a fuss out of it interacting with them. I wonder how this hits for the rest of you?

Do we also dislike seeing acne scars in general even on other people or just on our face?

Is it only for special occasions? For daily maintenance too? If so, why? And how much does it cost you

I had bought ingredients for zupa ogorkowa and wondering ig else what i would need to be buying to do repeat recipes instead of go to store for each new recipe

I am a full-time employee working 9 to 5, but I am also a master's student. I want to talk to more people in my career interest, so I've been reaching out to people in my school alumni network on Linkedin.

I have received replies from other professionals. However, the time they proposed is in the middle of the workday.

On one hand, I feel like since I’m the one asking for their time, I should be flexible and work around their schedule. I also assume they’re protecting their personal time outside of work for a reason. On the other hand, I work in the office during the day, so it’s difficult for me to step away for a coffee chat.

Is it reasonable to ask whether they’d be available after work instead, or would that come across as inconvenient since I’m the one requesting the meeting? Is it rude to ask for one on the weekend?

My therapist is going to go on vacation and it's almost the weekend, so I wanted to make sure she sent me these because we won't have our session until she comes back. There has been times where she has forgotten to send the exercise, so I want to check in but idk what the social convention for this is. Could you please let me know how you interpret this message? Is it rude? I want to come across socially smooth and maintain a good relationship.

Hi [Therapist], I wanted to follow up and make sure/remind you that to send the somatic exercises, the roleplay/scripting exercises, and/or prompts before you go on vacation. In case you forgot! I thought about it and decided I would want to move my session earlier in the week just for the week of the 15th, Mon Tues or Wed based on your flexibility.

The window was open about 1/4 in the second row and I’m not quite sure where the water splashed but I do know it smell really musty after 2 days and I’m not about to pay someone else to do this so God help me.

can you explain like I’m five like make it really concrete

I am working a remote job and my teammate assigned to the same feasibility study task as me is based in offshore. I’m on shore.

While I sleep, he already develops a deliverable. When I wake up, he presents and then I think it’d be easier to share what’s been made. At best we can share a static VS code folder so I can see what he has done but I’m not live connected to anything.

I’m at a loss at how we’re supposed to work together and contribute on the same idea if there’s this time difference. I might be working on one version of the idea and then in the morning he says it’s become a different version of the idea that basically overwrite all my work and then I’m not sure what I can help with because I don’t know what’s been done outside of what I’m doing.

I would love to know how you guys would handle a situation like this. I’m also kind of wondering is live collaboration actually not a thing in tech companies

as opposed to like how they were in college where you have a group project and you’d make sure everyone has a part and you would make sure that they could also see the Google doc so they know what everything has been done….

I lived in the United States and grew up pretty far from all of my cousins. In my state, it’s only my parents and me. No other relatives. We also only travel to India every six years so I know I have some cousins but like I don’t have that memory of growing up with them.

I’m trying to build a friendship with my cousin specifically this cousin because she’s almost my age. But every time I call her to talk if in the first sentence , she asked me when I’ll come to visit.

She is a working professional like me and unmarried.

I just got my first job. The tickets are expensive a trip there that would be worth it would be at least two weeks. I don’t even have that much PTO honestly the answer might be never or it might be in the next two years. It’s like I can’t even call her without wanting to have a plan to come there. I almost want to say to her like hey am I not allowed to have a relationship with you if I’m not coming to see you???

but that feels like it’s a loaded question so this post is wanting a smarter way and calmer way to go about addressing this so I’m kind of asking like how would I go about asking this?

I see sometime layover of 8hr-13hr on international itineraries …I wonder can I use this to exit the airport and sightsee?? Does anyone use it?

That’d be much more joyful use of a long layover I’d imagine

And how do you justify the flight ticket???

Whenever I look at international round trip ticket prices ranging $1200-2000 for one person, I find it hard to convince to myself that I’m not going to be a wreck after spending this much amount of money.

Even though I’m a single person so I don’t need to pay for anyone else else’s ticket except for mine. And even though I know that I would make back that amount of money in two weeks…. It’s a big number so it scares me.

It feels like no money I could make from my job could ever be so high of a amount that I can just spend that much of amount of money and like not care.

So, I’m wondering like when you plan trips like this and you are the one paying the bill do you make the purchase kind of feel like yeah I have so much money like like you just think you’re gonna make the money back or you have felt similar to me before and how have you dealt with it?

I feel like as soon as you log onto the social media and they noticed that you haven’t got a ton of pictures with friends. That’s when people start judging you and notice you’re different

I don’t get how you’re supposed to branch out and making community if people keep judging you for what you didn’t have before.

If you weren’t lucky enough to have a good friends when you were younger and you didn’t get them quick enough and you’re not making them quick enough when you moved to new city then ….people hold it against you.

Do you just lie about it?
