@AudreyJune honestly, it seems to be working pretty good for my PCOS beard. i think the worst case scenario is that you just have to smack it more emphatically, but it does mean you get to do touch-ups at home instead of schleping yourself out and handing an aesthetician more money. ...and if all else fails, hey, it should work great for legs! (i haven't tried that yet simply because chronic pain hates me if i try to pretzelfy myself into leg shaving poses lmao)
....fuggit i just realized i probably should have like. cw'd that chat about hair removal stuff earlier.
also i'm tryin not to be all NOT THAT I'M GAY OR ANYTHING obnoxious but i do want to kinda let people know that when i jump into convos with transfemme folks i'm like... still cishet, just cishet with pcos and potential relevant tips, so that it doesn't feel like i'm gatecrashing? ooerrr this is hard and i have little brain but many painkiller
@AudreyJune no problem! :>
i find mine pretty easy to use. it whirrs intimidatingly as it cools itself but it's just kind of dramatic, not actually a problem. i haven't actually had any bad side effects other than "giving it 5/5, wooah now that's a little strong snap so let's just mosey on down to a 3 or 4"
..............i also think the one i have isn't *rated* for face, but uh, i haven't exploded yet soooo there's that? just, y'know, wear sunglasses and look away while using it probably.
@AudreyJune have you looked at pricing the little at-home units?
a proper facial laser thing is like, hella expensive, but for the fair skin + dark hair combo wombo, the high intensity light ones are pretty reasonable iirc? i have a remington ilight widgery thing. i admit i haven't been keeping up with it because spoons, but it has super cut the regrowth time basically immediately. https://www.marieclaire.com/beauty/g18715687/best-laser-hair-removal/ is a potentially useful article to browse! :>

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz kickstarter to send post-nuclear-apocalypse writers a whole bunch of plants and fruits with a note of "you see these? yeah these were created just by tossing radiation at plants and look, they don't give a single fuck. cover your post-apoc in plants please and in the meantime enjoy this ruby red grapefruit and frilly-flowered african violet"
that is if the plants aren't going to be the apocalypse itself
CAMERA PANS OMINOUSLY OVER TO KUDZU... BEING KUDZU....
@cassolotl mentally overlay states that were in the confederacy in the civil war - https://i0.wp.com/images.mapsofworld.com/answers/2017/05/confederate-states-america.gif?resize=660%2C500&ssl=1 - and it becomes really apparent what happened.
this is also good motivation to not let people write off the south as a shithole that just needs to be purged. there's major racism at play when people do that, especially when it comes to "well they voted for trump so i get to laugh at them dying in a hurricane" and such (not taking into account how many black people are disenfranchised).
"wow harp you sound bitter about video games today"
yep!
please stay tuned for "why dead money is the worst xpack for fallout new vegas, not just because of the Fucking Radios, but mostly because there is no option to reunite the brotherhood of steel lesbians or at least let them know 'hey i know your ex, she's doing good' which would be very meaningful in fallout universe to know a former lover is not dead in a ditch somewhere"
wow a white cishet dude being smugly intellectual about his bigotry, i have never seen that anywhere before bioware, what a fucking revelation,
anyway can you remember that dwarves exist please?
yes there was that one bit of story in da2 i appreciated it but what about -
ok yes there's the scout in da:i, i loved her, but -
oh there's like two missions where all we get is like, text, because it's on the war table. that's all we get for dwarf lore.
oh ok.
CUE SADNESS, IN AEDUCAN.
if solas were in the real world he would be yet another mediocre youtuber a la Thunderfoot or Sargon of Akkad and we all know it
please yeet him off the stage and bring back the actually interesting characters, DON'T GIVE HIM AN ENTIRE GAME TO SMARM ABOUT IN BIOWARE, i will fucking DIE of BOREDOM
you're killing me, bioware. you're killing your aeducan
i mean honestly, what is the more interesting character to you
A: white dude who blathers in a pseudointellectual style but is very snooty
B: somebody's mischevious mom who made you pizza rolls and is cool but also might be out to murder your pal, is a swamp witch, can turn into a FRICKIN DRAGON, and is actually a being of ancient power that the heroes owe one to after saying "oh sure we owe you one it's good" before realizing who she is
B
I'M GOING WITH B
B IS INTERESTING
GIMME B
"harp are you just saying that because you're fed up of solas"
a. yes, b. it's a bland racist egg. he's just tiresome. c. if they wanted to do elf shit idk why they would go kill of flemeth, who we both got to know and is Actually Interesting, and most importantly,
d. I'M KINDA OVER SO MUCH ELF STUFF IN DRAGON AGE ACTUALLY. BIOWARE: PLEASE REMEMBER DWARVES EXIST AND ARE PART OF THIS WORLD
xoxo, grey warden roswynn aeducan, first paragon of the topside, etc etc
@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz honestly at this point, as much as i was a self-proclaimed slut for bioware for so many years, i'm kind of hoping EA just shoves bioware into the grave it's having bioware dig for itself and has it over with soon
i would rather DA4 be this beloved mythical what-if that we could pine for instead of a shitty and slapdash reality.
...but i'm also biased because i think that the racist egg was one of the most painfully bland characters i've ever had inflicted on my person
