It's nothing major or harassing or anything, I'm just kinda like ehhhhhhh towards it and I'd rather not it happen again :p

More or less I think I made someone upset with an answer and now I feel bad. It's not the biggest deal but I edited my post because, like, I felt mean putting the whole story outside of the PM it was in.

Again not a biggie and tbh now that an hour or two have passed I'm more or less over it and will probably continue answering questions when I'm free again tomorrow because I'm a crazy person. I was just like "oh geez"

:(. I'm really sorry this happened to you. Per your request I'll remove you from the panel in OP. Do you mind if I leave the your GAF name & a note that you were on it, and remove all the other info? Did you want me to remove your name completely and change your name on my posts to [Former panel member] for all of your responses?

Oh no, you can leave my name in there and all that, it wasn't even a question that was answered by the panel, I don't think. I think I only answered the question as one of my page spam answers :p

I don't mind still being on the panel. I'm cool now. :3

Anyone know of a good place to buy cute clothes.

I dress like Kimmy Schmidt and like shirts with animals, crazy designs etc.

its in the OP but that sounds spot on for modcloth. lots of bright colors, patterns, and i've seen quite a few shirts with animals on them.

thats the only suggestion I have tho since I've just been buying stuff from target recently since thats easy

I'm going to be cosplaying for the first time ever with two of my friends and have to do a big makeup run for it. I'll be doing a Sephora trip in the next couple weeks but does anyone have any recommendation on products? Particularity skin products for combination skin? Since photo's are going to be taken I'm going to be caking it on. xD

Make sure your foundation doesn't have spf in it. spd = shiny in photos

I personally like Kat Von D or whatever. She does a good foundation. Very thick coverage. Use a primer first, for sure. If you have red spots use green tinted primer. Set after with powder.
I'll look into the brands and thank you for the SPF heads up. I'll be picking up some primers my friend recommended plus one apparently found a good combo skin cover.

Makeup Forever was always good to my combo skin (and it didn't break me out), as well as Laura Mercier. They run into the $40 range, though, but you'll get long-term use out of them.

Yeah, it was parked every time. First two times it was hit overnight. This time while we were in a restaurant. Just like... CAN I LIVE?

As someone that's been having annoying car related problems too (no accidents at least... yet *crosses fingers*) I'm so sorry to hear that. Shit is frustrating and expensive.

I've had a bunch of things go out at once on this damn car and it drained any sort of funds that I had, I was almost out of credit card debt too ._. So close and yet so, so far.

At least the car runs beautifully now
 
Yeah, we keep having to get progressively shittier cars because the insurance will only pay so much. :/ at least this time it was just a dent and didn't total the car. The first time a drunk driver in a truck just totally pasted my car, bounced off, kept going, and drive up the hill of a neighbor's yard and wrecked their car. It was a mess.

Cars suck. Solidarity.

If anyone is being harassed in PMs because of that other thread, please let me know. Don't just put up with that crap, it's what I'm here for.

Three things:

1) What Aeana said. If questions get uncomfortable or verge into harassment, let us know.

2) Without going into any details, know that your responses don't make you responsible for the behavior of users. Some people are messed up. And when they don't get the answers they want, they overreact. None of that is your fault. Their emotional health is on them.

3) Don't post your discord in an open thread, please. You know there are people out there that live to mess with people here. Don't make it easy for them. Send stuff like discord links via PM, or you will absolutely have them in your private spaces. This has already happened with another community.

I wanted to ask a general question, have any of y'all been on high blood pressure medication? Cause I got put on one and let me tell you...it erm...makes things quite a lot more interesting in bed. Like, I swear to God I am nearly getting there from nipple play alone. TMI but yeah. One of the best side effects ever apparently. I should look it up and see if it's a common side effect lol

Missed this before, but yes. I was put on prazosin and propanolol for PTS related symptoms, and those drugs are also used for blood pressure and yes sensation increases and libido increases and yeah, lol.
 
I was excited in our meeting we had on my first day when one of the other black girls said she still has a Gamecube. I thought I finally found a gamer I could talk too outside of the internet, but then I asked her if she was getting a Switch and if she watched E3. She didn't have a clue what I was talking about. It's hard finding other black female gamers.

I was looking for something else and came across this - I'm not trying to be all ALL BLACK FOLKS SHOULD BE FRIENDS but my boss/major professor/committee head/sorta bestie (she wears a lot of hats in my life) is a badass black female gamer and we have a pretty good network of (mostly queer) black women gamers through our work. I'm not sure where you are but if you at least want some social media people to talk about games with I can hook you up. :)

I've talked to her about this place but I don't think she'd make it out of junior status without getting super banned.

I'll check it out, especially if it's great for combo skin. Thanks!

Guy thought he could intimidate me at work today and wants to sue me for "stealing his hard drive."

But at the same time refused to let me open up the computer to prove to him that it was there.

"This was a 4 TB drive and it says I only have 2!"
"Sir, that is impossible unless the drive was formatted as MBR or the drive is not the same one I put in there."
"Then that's what you did!"
"No sir, I installed Windows 10 it. As I said, it is impossible. I guarantee that the drive in there is your 4 TB if you would let me open the side panel."
"Like I'll let you touch it!"

He paid his "tech" the other day to install some software and messed up his OS and is trying to blame me.

Lol, what an idiot :D

Like, is it telling him that he has only 2TB of FREE data? Maybe he filled the rest with porn?
No, according to him disk management is telling him that it's 2 TB total. Which will happen if you format in MBR because it'll make anything greater than 2 TB inaccessible. His tech was probably just being dumb, I had it installed as GPT.

Oh, I'm not upset or anything, he signed paperwork that explicitly says he cannot sue us, and my managers take my side in thinking he is being the stupid one here. We all had a laugh about it.

It's not the first time someone has said they would get me fired/sued. :p After working in a call center and retail, nothing really phases me anymore heh
 
I uh...worked at an onion factory?

Would it be bitchy to cite combat deployments, lol. Getting mortared really, really sucks, lol.

But I worked overnight at Whataburger making breakfast taquitos for drunk guys, that kinda sucked

I work for an oncologist who deals primarily with "the bad cancers". It sucks getting to know a patient, watching them decline, and then seeing them on the obituary page :(

Before that, I had a different job in the hospital that brought me to the morgue on a regular basis. Lots of sad stories in there.

A friend was a pediatric nurse (now she's an administrator) and once while drunk she confessed to me that children with cancer were sad, obviously, but also really hard to handle because their parents desperately spoiled them due to the situation and they would act out constantly but you never wanted to be mad at them. It sounded just awful to deal with.

Maybe we can just all agree that many jobs are terrible. Though now I teach at the university level and while the bureaucracy sucks and you get the occasional asshole student, mostly I find it completely delightful. I teach a lot of STEM students and they come in telling me how they're terrible writers because that's what they've always been told and it's just really lovely to watch them start to figure things out and learn their skills.

Bitchy? No. But I might come back at you with doing hospice patient care. Would you rather be shot at, or just watch people die and then have to know when to notify their families? (That's a real question - not a one up :p)

D: You both win.
