Hair training is a myth, so take their advice with a grain of salt.

I’m sorry to have to say, but the idea of “hair training” is a myth.

The oil glands (which are known as sebaceous glands, and produce an oil called “sebum”) are controlled by genetics, hormones, and stress. Sebaceous glands don’t have any sort of “sensor” to tell them when to produce more/less oil, so washing or not washing won’t make a difference.

I feel the same way, but about places that sell coffee having an obligation to provide a public bathroom.

there is NO protocol.

Weren’t you just arguing that there is protocol that would prevent Trump from overreaching his authority?

That’s the “protocol” I’m hoping will be followed - the legal framework that would prevent such fuckery.

At the same time, I expect that those currently in charge of the U.S. see the law not as a barrier, but as an inconvenience.

There are a lot of things happening right now that a younger-me would have thought was “straight up nonsense” and “impossible.”

I want to believe that proper protocol will be followed, but I also don’t believe there are limits to what the current GOP would try.

Perhaps some people never actually lose their hair - rather, their hair just keeps migrating across their bodies. Roaming from land to foreign land, traveling into new territory with every season of life.

You were downvoted for making assumptions about the person you were responding to. All they did was make a lamentful comment about the state of nature, and you came in accusing them of having (or being supportive of having?) a pesticided lawn with automatic sprinkler system. Then you seemed to doubledown on blaming everybody else of shirking personal responsibility, while avoiding giving a straight-forward answer to the simple question of if the “we” in your quote “we completely fucked up the environment” also applied to yourself.

Having the testee measure their own penis is prone to error.

To be fair, testicles aren’t designed for that task.

Important update - he “postponed” this tour. (Here’s a Lemmy-based link about it.)

Now, the article uses the word “postpone.” But we all know that’s just a coward’s way of saying something is “cancelled.” Which is why it perfectly tracks for Schumer and I’d be willing to bet he never actually goes on this tour at all.

That reminds me of a scene in Archer. One of the characters temporarily decides to become a country music star. A foreign dictator becomes obsessed with her. On the day her album drops, she happens to be in that dictator’s country. Instantly, the album went platinum. How?

Cut to a scene where pallets and pallets of her album are being unloaded - all purchased by that dictator.

I don’t know about OP. I went to a public school on the eastern seaboard and we certainly weren’t taught “Spain Spanish.” The pronunciations and pronouns we were taught would’ve been very different if that were the case.

If any specific dialect was taught in those classrooms, it would’ve been because a teacher spoke that dialect natively. All of our teachers were either non-native Spanish speakers, or from somewhere in Central or South America. Maybe OP had teachers from Europe?

If there were regional differences for vocabulary, we were told about them. For example, for the English word “bus,” we were taught that “autobus,” “guagua,” and “camion” all work but in different countries/regions. To be clear, we weren’t expected to remember all the variations, but we were informed that they exist.

you should absolutely rely on friends or family for help.

Aw, I wish. There are two types of people in my family. The first type is people who also have ADHD (unmedicated, at that) and/or autism. The second type is people who believe the first type are jUsT bEiNg LaZy.

There is no in-between.

Excellent comment and very informative!

Just a quick note on the last sentence: 1 yard = 3 feet, which means a yard is approximately one meter, not 100m.

Does that link lead to a “Server error” for anyone else?

You’re definitely not alone.

I think the key is that we are so often told what to do, but rarely are instructed on how to do it - it’s easy to give advice, but without providing the structure to actually implement the advice, it isn’t worth much. People seem to forget how much work it takes for us to do the things they suggest. Very little advice is as straight-forward as advice-givers make it sound.

Like above, one can say “install time-tracking productivity software” but what does that really mean? To me, it means that now I’ll have to research different types of software. Which means I have to find something compatible with my devices that also: respects my privacy, is easy to use, that has a reasonable price point, and won’t bombard me with ads. If I manage to do all that without getting side-tracked for too long (which is a big “IF”), THEN I have to set up the software and figure out how to use it. Only after all that can I get to the step of actually using it… which honestly, is easy to forget to do as well.

Point is, a lot of “simple advice” isn’t actually that simple for people with ADHD. So when people talk like an idea is some easy thing, it can leave a lot of us feeling like we can’t even reach out for help because iT’s sO siMpLe that asking for help feels embarassing. Yet without guided support, it’s much easier to discount the advice outright than to try to figure out how to implement it on our own. So we fall into that trap, and the “good advice” is ignored yet again.

Can’t forget that military bases are communities where people live, too. Not just barracks and mess halls for individuals, but there are full neighborhoods and shopping centers for families.*

*My knowledge on this is limited, I just remember visiting a family member on base when I was younger.

Periods? Pfft, those are for women

My condolences

No need to be jealous now. There’s nothing about this toy that forbids men and enbies from trying it too. ;)

Is there a link describing “the three basic courtesy rules” that doesn’t go to Xitter? I can’t access that site (and wouldn’t want to even if I could, tbh.)

I tried searching for that phrase online and found generic “etiquette” lists, but without further context I can’t tell if I’m finding the same thing you’re referring to.
