Very nice. I wonder what they will find if they look at the DNA of people that aren’t of European descent.

Wonder what they’re doing about Jim Lahey since John Dunsworth passed in 2017.

All the budgeting in the world did not save me from the massive bills to treat conditions I was born with. I live paycheck to paycheck because of it.

I find with people like this, they only see the problem with the issues that affect them directly (or maybe even people they care about). Some people would use this to question their belief system.

But for someone at her point in life, she will just be a Republican “except for the women’s issues but I am totes not a feminist” or find another ideology that is more or less Republican but she finds aligns more with their new beliefs, like a right-wing Libertarian.

Indeed we will see, but I would be shocked if she decided to no longer be right-wing.

You know how some people are bad at reading technical documents, find coping skills that make it tolerable, but ultimately need to have the information presented in a different way? You might be one of those people, but for recipes.

I don’t find most recipes easy to follow, but taking a long time to learn them and getting familiar is a big help. Sounds like you already tried that, but if you haven’t tried it long, you might find that you will gain more of the “recipe reading skill” if you keep trying. (Not necessarily, but possibly.)

How do you feel about reading cooking blogs? I like being able to read more details about how a dish is prepared, and the pictures/videos really help it come together. I find they’re able to express more easily when things need to happen concurrently, and they also feel like they have more space to explain why they’re doing what they’re doing. I like Once Upon a Chef and Serious Eats, personally.

I shook my head like a snow globe and I still have no clue what’s going on.

We’re gonna need a bigger blanket

Spider lashes are so last season, it’s all about those centipede eyes, swerty. 🐛👄🐛

I thought he kind of looked like Jeffrey Tambor.

What did I do to make you not like me? You liked my sibling.

Why was everything I did worthy of your contempt?

Why did you make my transition to adulthood so much harder than it should have been?

Why did you move me to a car-dependent area, make it so it was impossible for me to get a car, and use the fact I was useless against me?

So many straight men complain if women take a long time to get ready, but will also complain about the looks of women without an involved beauty routine.

Or they think that a “natural” beauty routine is what no effort looks like when it’s not even close.

It’s easier to just do what you want and consider these men not worth your time, but it does get annoying some days. Especially when other women buy into it and also give you shit for being “gross.”

The whole time I was reading that, I was thinking “man, I miss the old Cracked. This is gold.”

Then, I saw the author was Seanbaby! I think I know what site I will be wasting time on next.

She actually says in the book, if you don’t want the book, you should get rid of it.

Are you doing a pencil, gel, or liquid? All of them have their own challenges. Some pencils are better than others, but I also haven’t used a pencil in a long time. Ones where I had to press down harder and were dry were trash to me.

I like liquid with a brush, but I had to stop because my oily lids would just… Melt it off. I could get some crisp lines with them, though.

For gel, I would use an angle brush. I would start from the center of the eye outwards, then go from the outside to the middle to even it out if that makes sense. After I did that, which I always find to be the least forgiving part, I would do the rest of the eye.

No matter what type I am applying, I would have a mirror near my face, my elbow on the table, and the brush or pencil in my hand. This way, I only have to control my hand with my wrist. I don’t have to think about my shoulder.

Make sure you have some good, gentle makeup remover. Practice a LOT. I also just had to wear it for a bit just so I get used to my face looking different.

I found that using a lighter hand on the lower part of the eye, if I put any, gives me a look I prefer over lining the whole eye uniformly.

All time is poo time when you’re close to the boss’s desk

Thanks so much, the venting really helps a lot tbh and helps me get through some days.

I am a web developer, so I’m hoping to find another programming gig. The company I’m currently working for is failing. The search just started last week, so it’s to be expected I don’t have anything yet. I hear that it’s not a good time to look for a dev job, but I’m going to keep trying anyway.

I may have to take something else to stay afloat (my family’s medical needs are high $$$), but I’ve definitely been in worse situations.

Right now hovering between overworked and depleted. Working on executing my plans to free myself up more, but it’s still a long road ahead.

One of them is to get a new job, and the search is rough.

I DO A.I.!

That’s just baaaaa-d practice
