Stop it now!

Tell them they’re so fun, you want to pay them to be your penpal, and you’ll send them a picture of $50
- Comment on Are products "for curly hair" supposed to straighten hair, make them more curly, or just formulated not to effect the curl at all? 1 week ago:
Curly hair is great for people that love beauty routines and self care sessions!
It’s not so great for people who don’t

Opting out and getting dull and scraggly as a result is the type of opting out I want
- Comment on Are products "for curly hair" supposed to straighten hair, make them more curly, or just formulated not to effect the curl at all? 1 week ago:
I’m one of those people with curly hair that hates it. I hate it, because I can’t opt out of dealing with it.
That out of the way, products for curly hair are designed to assist in caring for curly hair.
Products that are designed to straighten hair, or intensify curls will state that explicitly for all the ambiguous wording issues you’ve mentioned

I can only speak to Spanish, as I have Spanish at a B1 level. It would be a challenge for me to get through a full spanish novel. I could do it with a lot of patience, and taking my time to read and understand each sentence, but it would be a mentally draining experience.
However, reading a page or two a day as a method of gaining exposure would probably be quite manageable.
- Comment on Australia is the only major democracy without a human rights act. Is that about to change? 2 weeks ago:
The human rights acts in other major democracies don’t seem to be with the paper they’re written on…
And we have a “left” government with the numbers to implement one here, but without the political will to do so, and already looking for loopholes to ignore those rights if they ever do codify them.
I mean, yes, we should have a bill of rights, but even if it does happen, I’m not holding out any hopes for it changing much of anything
- Comment on Why do supposedly dentist have a higher suicide rate than others? Also is it worse in the Pacific North West where depressing weather is always going on even higher there? 4 weeks ago:
Other people prefer equatorial climates with lots of sun, humidity, and storms that rush in and rush out again.
This is me!
- Comment on Do you remember every single scene and dialogue of a show or movie you just watched? 1 month ago:
Whatever the exact opposite of that is, that’s what I do…
- Comment on So, has age verification really become the new normal? 1 month ago:
Are you giving up your privacy to a profit driven corporation who absolutely can’t be trusted with it, just because you want to watch a video that has no real point other than entertainment?
That’s what normalisation of age verification looks like…
- Comment on Does bradycardia feel good or neutral? 1 month ago:
Mine is fitness induced bradycardia, and to me, I don’t even notice it most of the time. It doesn’t feel like anything. The exception is sometimes, I get dizzy when standing up, which has historically been attributed to fitness induced bradycardia, but now they believe it’s specific to runners, and related to changes in the inner ear from running a lot

Page 236 is Terns. I mean, if that’s what you’re in to…
- Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual? 2 months ago:
Labels are meant to help you navigate and exist in the world. If it’s achieving that, it’s the right label!
- Comment on Live: PM to address nation tonight on response to Middle East war 3 months ago:
I witnessed this from the bike path that runs adjacent before anyone comes at me. I was hardly riding quickly and I was moving faster than the climate change deniers.
In Queensland, they’re about to pass laws that means that if you were riding an ebike, you’d have to be on the road with them, or failing that, limited to 10km/h. Oh, and you’d need a drivers license
- Comment on If your son was a super wealthy multi-millionaire and lived in LA or New York, but he wasn’t famous and wasn’t close to your family members (brothers, nephews, nieces, etc.), would you tell them? 3 months ago:
I don’t have any other family members aside from my mother. I don’t have a son either…
- Comment on Is 71° F (21° C) the ideal weather to wear shorts? 3 months ago:
Ideal? No. Reasonable? Yes.
21C is a bit chilly for me. Not chilly enough that I need to rug up, but enough that I notice the cool tinge to the air
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 3 months ago:
I don’t consider it a new point. I consider xenophobia and racism two slightly different manifestations of the same underlying mindset, and don’t consider the difference between the two to ever really matter in practical terms.
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 3 months ago:
Against Mexicans/Latinos. ie, the bit where someone throws all hispanohablante folk in to the “Illegal/Mexican” bucket, irrelevant of where they come from.
If you want to argue that’s xenophobia more than racism, sure, that’s probably accurate. But it doesn’t really change my point…
- Comment on Why do some people (i.e. white conservatives) think all Spanish speakers (especially native Spanish speakers) are Mexican? 3 months ago:
Racism.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
DRM is still a thing, as is region locking
Lots of Youtube videos can’t be seen in some countries for example. Netflix and other streaming platforms show different things on different dates depending on the region.
I remember when it was a thing, because it’s still a thing!

- Comment on Coffee ☕ 3 months ago:
There was even an entire standards document drawn up (as a practical joke), called the Hyper Text Coffee Pot Control Protocol (HTCPCP 1.0). To this day though, there the server status response 418 - I’m a teapot still exists. It was defined as part of HTCPCP as the error code returned when you tried to get a teapot to brew coffee :)
Web nerds took their coffee seriously! Or maybe they didn’t? Does doing up an entire standards document as an april fools joke count as serious or unserious?
- Comment on Why do we eat dessert? 3 months ago:
Your first two options contradict each other
1) It adds fat 2) It doesn’t add fat, because your body burns up fat when you sleep

Native english speaker, B1 spanish.
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 4 months ago:
Yeah, that’s what I meant too. Men and women almost universally have different vocal patterns though, even when they ostensibly have the same accent.
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 4 months ago:
All of them?
