I do not have personal recommendations for curling irons as I don't use irons, but I will say you want one that has great temperature regulation (so it does not burn your hair which might mean paying more money). I picked up a second-hand dyson blow dryer a while back because of the temperature regulation on it, it never burned my hair but I did feel like it was hot even on low so I had to move it around a lot. You always want to use a heat protection product when using high heat (which curling irons, flat irons, etc. do). It should say it protects up to 400° F, I believe 266° F is the temperature when hair actually burns. I tried the CHI products and liked it, these products will generally have silicone or something else with low thermal conductivities to protect your hair. Look for something made for flat ironing.

I follow lab muffin a lot (this is her article on heat protectants), and it does seem like your hair will still get damaged this way. I use K18 which might help your hair feel less damaged, my hair is just naturally fragile so I use it. My hair is curly, I find that heatless curl methods make it more wavy but I am not sure if they work on straight hair.

So you believe an ethical AI cannot exist no matter what, you accuse me of being a police bootlicker, gullible, and neutral to worker exploitation, and I am supposed to respond to this in good faith? Sorry, not going to take your bait and engage in a flame war with you, after all it is rule 1 here.

"this implies correcting misinformation should be discouraged"

"I report that community rule violation, that is not trolling as I see it"

"I am respectful of the rules of communities"

This is a small snippet of your history. It's a 2 hour ban, you can either chill or not, up to you.

Your conduct is off-putting and should be discouraged, to say the least. Hence a 2 hour ban. Db0's agreement with you was not made with me. It seems like you want it to be a rule that the db0 instance is a safe haven for trolls, effectively putting it at risk of being defederated by other instances.

Hi, I am the PTB that banned this user for 2 hours. As what was explained to you in the appeals channel, you've been trolling for months and when the person you troll gets mad, you report them for things like 'incivility.' You've done this many times to multiple users for months. That is why you were banned, not because of a specific thread and report. This was a warning to you to knock it off, as was explained to you.

It was not made known to other admins that you had contacted db0 in advance of making your account that you were using your account just to do things like this. It makes a lot more sense now why there was this leeway. I thought trolling other users was against the rules, but it seems the rules are muddy about it. We have often been warning people through 1 day bans to knock things off. So your timeout seemed appropriate.

Considering that Bethesda refused to roll in the community bug fixes with their rereleases of Skyrim

IIRC Bethesda lets mod creators own the rights to their mods so Bethesda can't just roll in the bug fixes into the actual game without the mod creator's permission. I know the Skyrim unofficial patch is ran by a team (Arthmoor) obsessed with DMCA'ing other people as well as just being dicks in general. Some of the "fixes" aren't really fixes and just what the team personally thought how the game should be.

Margaret Atwood used real life events and history in The Handmaid's Tale. She didn't invent it or make it up, she used inspiration from events that already happened or were happening while she wrote the book. You are just seeing what happened in history, in the past, happen again in the present.

The source is a copypasta from Trump's first term in 2017, it was posted by Bernice King on FB and has been modified over the years.

Some Wise Advice Circulating:

  1. Don’t use his name; EVER (45 will do)
  2. Remember this is a regime and he’s not acting alone;
  3. Do not argue with those who support him–it doesn’t work;
  4. Focus on his policies, not his orange-ness and mental state;
  5. Keep your message positive; they want the country to be angry and fearful because this is the soil from which their darkest policies will grow;
  6. No more helpless/hopeless talk;
  7. Support artists and the arts;
  8. Be careful not to spread fake news. Check it;
  9. Take care of yourselves; and
  10. Resist!

Completely agree. They ruined GoT during that last season.

I liked Daenerys Targaryen from GoT, she went through a lot of abuse/trauma but learned to assert herself and rose up to free slaves, kill slave masters, and raise dragons. She seemed to be a feminist icon, wanting to end oppression. But the TV show decided to ruin her character, ugh.

I used to have long nails because they actually grew. I used to like decorating my nails and such. But then my nails suddenly kept breaking even at short lengths, bleeding. I try to keep them trimmed so they don't painfully break but they're so fragile, easily bend, and are just brittle. I've been on supplements for a decade and nothing seems to help :/
