  • For a guy:

    You’re not going to do anything well yourself except a buzz. And even then, there’s a learning curve.

    If you’re trying to keep it long, you’re going to fuck it up.

    For medium length, there used to be an “as seen on tv” product that was basically a shop vac that pulls hair into it, and cuts it a uniform length. I don’t know if they even sell them anymore, but that would be your only option.

    If you just don’t care, start buzzing it. Do it often, like buzz today, and then buzz again after taking a shower. You’re going to miss spots and a shower in between makes the hair stand up different and easier to make it uniform

    As you get better you can start doing it every two weeks or whatever, but at first do it really often to make sure you’re not leaving patches you can’t see.








  • Nope, the wealth inequality makes them sociopaths too…

    It’s a hard reality, but if me or you had Elon’s net worth, we’d be just as fucking weird and just as dangerous to everyone else.

    Like, as much as people say it, people don’t realize how much just a single billion is. Just a single billion is enough to fuck up anyone. Like 100 million, some people might be able to remain relatively normal. But a billion would get us all.

    What you’re doing is the same as writing of the Nazi movement as Germans being intrinsically violent or sociopathic. When obviously that shit can happen anywhere.

    It’s just a very hard truth to face, so we rationalize by saying “those people” were born evil.

    No one is inherently good, just some people are properly socialized to be “good”. And we need to accept that so we stay vigilant against it.


  • Pay morally bankrupt actresses to dress up as a videogame chare ter for sex work then leak the photo to brag about it…

    Then probably all the shit Dubai princes do.

    That level of money will fuck you up, because not just the human brain, but damn near every living organism is wired to always want more.

    No matter what kind of thing you find enjoyable, if you have acces to it 24/7 then your going to get bored and move onto something more extreme.

    Why do you think all these old rich/powerful people become rapists and child molesters?

    It’s not that they were necessarily born evil, this is just the “natural result” of someone having this insane level of wealth inequality. Which honestly doesn’t even.make the top ten lists of why we need to address wealth/power inequality, but like…

    Certainly topical when trump won’t release the Epstein list because it says he raped kids.


  • What?

    The OP is asking if he can contact her family to ask why she doesn’t reply quickly enough…

    If her family doesn’t care enough to investigate why she’s not replying to them, then they’re not going to care after OP contacts.

    If they care enough that they would contact when OP asks…

    Then they would have already reached out to their own daughter/sibling/whatever if she wasn’t responding to them…

    Meaning the woman isn’t self-isolating, or her family is already trying to engage with her.

    A friend that moved away two years ago their daughter isn’t texting back and is t meeting up when possible…

    Probably just isn’t an important part of this woman’s life.

    And at some point OP has to accept that, unless they’re a stalker.


  • So she still lives where all your mutual friends live…

    Where her family lives…

    Let them handle it.

    Rest is also mostly an invention in your side, but not believing at face value someone somebody said on the internet is generally a good practice.

    Buddy…

    You keep making “typos” that completely change the meaning of what you type or just make no sense.

    Just leave the woman who clearly doesn’t want to interact with you alone.

    Although I’m sure you’ll ignore every response that’s not:

    Only you can save her! Do anything possible to talk to her no matter how many times she says she doesn’t want to talk to you. Shell appreciate it after you save her! You know her needs more than her!


  • Her moving to another country and not talking to you or your common friends doesn’t mean she’s “self isolating”. No single friend group is everyone’s life. Especially since it’s been two years since she left your country…

    Going to her family would be creepy as fuck.

    And honestly it feels like you have more motivations than just friendship here. And she’s been trying to let you down gently for over two years now…

    Like if “reconnect” means a text, go for it. But it sounds like you want someone to tell you it’s ok to contact her fucking family that you don’t know to complain she doesn’t text back immediately.

    That’s dangerously close to stalker shit, and they will always present a narrative similar to yours and use that for justification of inappropriate actions.


  • except in the case there is no source or there assertion it is a genocide is “seriously contested”.

    I think a big part of this, is how Wikipedia was never meant to be a source for developing news…

    Like, 1943 the nazis would have seriously contested any of the multiple genocides that were committed. Or US/Canadian treatment of their Indigenous populations at the time.

    But it’s “logic” like in actual logic classes in college.

    They could have 37 different examples of how what Israel is doing meets a definition of genocide, with video evidence, and a list of everyone who says it’s a genocide…

    But their job isn’t to draw the conclusion, it never was.

    And I get wanting Wikipedia to say it is, because it undeniably is.

    But the opposite of biased reporting isn’t biasing it the other way. It’s counterintuitive, but it’s easier to hold onto a nonbiased organization than one biased in your direction. The pendulum swings faster the higher up it is. You can’t push it the way you want it to go, you have to hold it as still as possible.



  • which would also apply to other accepted genocides

    Can you give me an example where despite lots of evidence of genocide, there’s not been an international ruling declaring genocide yet Wikipedia still says it’s a genocide?

    To me, that would be the smoking gun that this was a biased move.

    But what he is saying now is how it should always be. Throw all the evidence and sources up there, and make it clear that it hasn’t been ruled a genocide yet officially, maybe even have a section on how that process has been going and who’s opposing it.

    That would be how to do it right.
