@andi GEL NAIL STUFF IS FUCKIN AWESOME!!!! for me the most irritating bit of doing my nails is that 45 minutes of being ~*in the danger zone*~ but gel nails are FANTASTIC. especially since you don't need to be a pro to order from bornpretty, too. my little light i got (a Fuze brand one) actually runs off usb and does only one finger at a time, but is pretty fantastic. plus with gel nails you can easily do all the cool chroming powders n shit!!!
@lawremipsum@mspsocial.net @noiob @it_wasnt_arson ooohhh i see, that makes sense!
i guess this is why i also sometimes see that the then-videos look as if they've been chewed on by the same monster makes jpgs cronchy
thanks y'all, i appreciate folks informing my sorely clueless ass l m a o
hey people of the fediverse who are clever at tech and like run linux and firefox and do rails of ruby and shit
why is everything videos these days?
like instead of gifs. why do imgur and facebook and places like that some of the time convert a gif into a video? doesn't that mean it takes up more space? why take the time to do the conversion anyway?
are gifs a security concern somehow now? why do only some gifs get converted to mp4??? is this just a mystery or what
a real stateent i just wrote in a support ticket to g-portal
"of course it may be entirely possible that i've accidentally got a setting switched wrong. if that's the case, please accept my sincere apologies in advance. i have an awful cold and i've just been sort of rolling my face on the keyboard after taking enough nyquil to get a horse pretty krunk while making sad bleating noises"
@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have zero idea about what kind of gems you'd find in the rockies-ish, but i know around here it's a lot of garnets, rubies, and sapphires, as well as some cool semi-precious stones - like i have a cool piece of flourite with really nice banding
also honestly it means that if anyone ever asks you about it somewhat disapprovingly, you get to gush to them about the wonderful personal time you had together and then if they still object THEY LOOK LIKE A MASSIVE ASSHOLE OHOHOHO 
@kara@witchcraft.cafe i have absolutely no idea about west coast, as a georgian, but i know appalachia is lousy with such places LOL. i can give you a solid recommendation if you want to go to the north georgia mountains, though... LMAO
i may be colored from the fact that i went on a vacation there as Official Third Wheel with my best friend and her fiance, and i'm still starry-eyed about the idea of them using the buy-a-bucket-get-a-credit-to-us-making-it-into-jewelry to use for some of their gems 😍
this cold continues to be hell and today i must figure out how to breathe thru my nose even if it means sleeping fitfully after i'm forced to take some pseudophedrine
the sleep apnea dental device i use is great, but holy shit, your mouth gets fucking dry as fuck if you're trying to mouthbreathe because your nose is stuffed up
ended up taking it out last night and had nightmares about struggling to breathe. so like. thanks, cold, you shitter
@kara@witchcraft.cafe this is a somewhat sappy suggestion, but if you live anywhere near where there are any of those 'pan for gemstones' tourist attractions... a gemstone you find yourself, set in conventional metal, would be one way to not only make a wedding ring, but a lovely memory as well! and then you get the kismet of "let's see what luck brings us" to get some of the decisions made for you LOL.
@kara@witchcraft.cafe it's a different sort of chic bordering on hipster, but i've seen some really lovely wedding rings made from iron meteorites (either in whole or part), and ones that also incorporate bands of wood. people also do some really pretty wood in resin bands, which is more forest hipster than geeky, but perhaps worth considering - https://www.etsy.com/listing/594264232/juniper-wood-ring-mens-wooden-ring-real?ref=related-1&frs=1
@meatmage it's also ignoring the true rightful owner of purple:
the artist formerly known as Prince.
so therefore if anyone gives anyone flak about 'we owned the color purple first', tell them solemnly that the community officially leased it from Prince and therefore has a genuine and valid claim
Misogyny in music perception
@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club ok yes, that's perfect. more of that.
and more uh... i don't fucking know, what do teen girls like these days? jojo siwa? i only know the name because apparently giant fuckoff bows are controversial and some schools ban them now and that means i narrow my eyes and resolve in my little #lolitafashion heart of hearts to wear bigger and bigger bows as to be an inspiration to all
Misogyny in music perception
@slightlyflightyone@vulpine.club i agree with the sentiment but given that twilight is a regrettable pile of normalization of abusive relationships with a weird half twist of racism up in there, may i suggest another series
we need more uhhhhh
barbie games and babysitter's club books?
