Omfg someone please do something

You would think if I turn captions on for EVERY VIDEO IVE EVER WATCHED that they could maybe, I don’t know, STAY ON FOR ALL VIDEOS I CLICK ON?????

Why is there no setting in your YouTube profile to keep captions on all the time??? I’ve tried looking it up and have read it’s due to differences in how videos play on mobile vs desktop, certain creators disable them/have custom captions and some other bs. Sure, it’s not that hard to turn them on every time—but I shouldn’t have to do that? Like you’re telling me that we have all this crazy technology and advancements but this isn’t a thing?!

I either need to watch shit loud af so I pay attention to what is being said or I need captions. But most of the time I need captions, I just can’t process everything unless I have them, or even just to confirm I heard what was being said so I can understand what’s going on.

So if any of you know some decision makers who work at YouTube/google or whatever mega corporation owns shit these days, can you PLEASE ask them to prioritize an update to add this option please please please please

Desperate for a Nail Tech around MKE

Tldr: Rarely have good experiences at nail salons and I want to support independent nail techs or smaller local businesses! I need recommendations STAT.

Heeeeey y’all I’m about 20 min north from downtown Milwaukee. I have been to at least 4 different nail salons near me salons we moved here. At first I’d do walk ins but then found a salon in Menom I loved and would make appointments with a specific tech and we’d do fun designs.
It got frustrating because he would almost try to talk me out of things. I once asked him to cut my nails down from almond bc I wanted short nails to be able to play guitar and stuff and he was just like no it won’t look good and talked me out of it. Turns out that tech completely destroyed my nails 😭 Filed the nail bed down waaaay to far and I had ridges on my nails, and he filed the edges down so far that my nails started curling weird. Took months to get them back to normal.

Wherever I’ve gone, I either leave unhappy with the quality and feel overcharged, they’re unprofessional and rushed, or they just don’t really explain what they’re doing so I’m not even sure if I’m getting what I asked for. Even if I have questions or concerns, I never feel like I fully understand what’s going on or why I’m being charged so much. And I don’t say that bc I think it’s too expensive or anything—I’m happy to pay whatever the cost of service is wherever I go as long as I understand all the up charges and whatever. I also always tip too. I don’t know a ton about all the various kinds of mainicures out there so I don’t want to be blindsided about the process or the charges, I just need to be informed and I’ll pay whatever! (I blame my autism for this, I just need information lmao)

Just yesterday when I got my nails done I had a lot lifting on two nails from prev gel builder fill appt. He I guess noticed more lifting on others so ripped 6 in total off with a nail tip. There was a greenish spot on one and I asked if that was from moisture or something getting under it (googled after appt, it was) and he told me no ! and just kept doing my nails! Google said to not get nails done until it grows out, so now I’m like 🫨. My last post had more details about that experience if anyone wants more info.

I want to be able to get my nails done more regularly (~every 2-3 weeks as they grow so fast and I use my hands a lot) but have been wary to go anywhere now bc I’m always unhappy. I need someone to help me determine what’s best for my nails given the work I do and genuinely care about the health and longevity of my nails and the manicure.

I need to have my nails done as they help keep my nails from breaking (super thin and grow fast) and I use my hands everyday for work so I need the extra strength. It also helps me not pick at my skin and nails/cuticles which is a really bad compulsion I struggle with. So I really need someone to help me n my flimsy nails out 😭 your girl is desperate.

Other info: I used to get dip but they’d crack a lot, so tried builder gel the last few times bc I was told it’s stronger and better for your nails. I don’t usually get tips unless I’m feeling crazy, I like to keep my natural length.

Plug ur businesses PLEASE ! ! !

Am I crazy or is this normal for builder gel?

Would love input from nail techs or anyone who gets builder gel!

This is my 3rd time doing builder gel at a new nail salon that I actually really like. The second time I went I got a fill and they rounded the edges. It’s been over 2 weeks since my last fill.

Today, I said I needed a full set because it was starting to chip and peel from my nail, so I figured probably better to start from scratch. I also told them if it’s easier to just do the few nails instead of a full set, then that’s fine. I also got them filed down like maybe 2cm. Was charged 55 for fill 5 for reshape and 10 for repair.

Why is just filing my nails considered a reshape? Isn’t filing nails part of any manicure? And then the fill + repair, I guess I understand that, but even then, if a full set is 55, shouldn’t a fill be less than that?

Again, I’m new to builder gel so I may not be familiar with the process. I used to get dip all the time and they never charged me to take the dip off at my next appointment, or to just file my nails a little. I’ve only ever been charged for a reshape if I asked for almond or like a literal shape lol.

Edit to add: I misunderstood what reshaping is—I now understand it’s over the entire nail for apex and whatever so yes, that makes sense to charge for reshaping with a fill. But I went in asking for a full set, mentioned 2 were peeling and as he looked at my nails he found 4 more that were peeling and used a nail tip to dig under and pull it off. I don’t understand why they didn’t do a soak off while I was getting a pedicure and just start on all fresh nails ?

Another edit to add: btw I love my nails and they feel fine, I’m not unhappy with how they turned out by any means and have no problem with the price I paid
💅🏼 genuinely asking to understand the process and if my experience was normal

Any chance of saving these?

My husband’s uncle recently passed and we inherited these beautiful pieces he painted. The wood is very old and has varying amounts of mold across the 3 pieces. Is there any way to salvage these? They’re sentimental and I was so looking forward to arranging them all on the wall!

Second read through, time to get a second bookmark out!

Trying to make life more whimsical so did a cutie photoshoot before diving in.

I’m on my second read through of the series and my first read through, I completely messed up my tabs and kept forgetting to switch. I redid all my tabs and I seriously cannot wait to read all night. It is insane how many more details I’m picking up the second time around and how much more emotionally invested I am!

I’m definitely one to reread books/series several times so I’m sure I will eventually read the series a third time (I think I’ve read the twilight series—since the day it came out at Borders—at least 20, if not 30 times). Maybe then I’ll read them back to back instead of the tandem but idk if I can be apart from Aelin that long lol

Packaging is STOOPID AH what do you mean all of that was necessary for two fckin tweezers ?? Did they expect the consumer to be able to even use them? CANT USE THEM IF I CANT GET THEM OUT OF THE PLASTIC AND HARD ASS CARDBOARD. I went through five stages of grief trying to open this. Couldn’t push it thru the back, ok I’ll try peeling it, didn’t work, ok I’ll try cutting it so I can just pull the plastic part off, nope plastic is SUPER GLUED to ANOTHER piece of card board, ok I’ll just peel that cardboard back, RIPS INTO A MILLION PIECES, HEAD EXPLODES, stabs with scissors (WHAT IF I DIDNT HAVE SOMETHING SHARP TO AID ME ALSO?????), tweezers are finally free, but I am still chained to this RAGE OMFG
