Ok but absolutely slaying in terms of your look intimidates people and makes them leave you alone

Oh yeah I do that already!

The only thing in the way is my astounding lack of object permanence

I wish, I struggle to keep focus if I don't physically turn the page

Ugh but books are just about the main thing I'm consumerist about. I WANT to have them in my home indefinitely. I want to be reminded a specific title exists by seeing it on the shelf, and then reread it. And I want to underline or comment on my favourite passages in pencil. They're the one non-necessity I'll keep splurging on; pretty much everything else is handed down, borrowed, or necessary to some extent.

Interesting! Nobody at my institute is a native English speaker. They're from several European and some Asian and south American countries.

I'm a theoretical physics grad student and a night school maths teacher, I have never heard this distinction. People in academia around me call them round and square brackets.

Gay is when you have a girlfriend. So regardless of if you're straight, lesbian, bi, pan, etc., if you have a girlfriend, you're gay. If you have a boyfriend, nb partner, or no partner, you're straight. Poly people are gay as soon as they date at least one person who they use the term girlfriend for. If you're a middle aged woman who refers to her female friends as girlfriends, guess what, gay. Hope this helps

I've seen and heard both men and women bring up their own stretch marks, but I've almost* never seen or heard anyone of any gender bring up someone else's. And I have stretch marks, and have been seen naked by several people of various genders.

*the one exception I've seen is as part of a list of reasons husbands have given for why they find their wives unattractive post pregnancy. And that was maybe twice and in anonymous comments.

Find out what your hair 'needs'. Is it dry and kinda straw like? Are the tips frayed? Does it poof up? Does it frizz, ie are there many stray hairs flying around?

In general though, hydrating shampoo helps with growing out unless you have suuuuper oily hair, in which case you should use a clarifying shampoo, but only rub it onto your scalp.

Even literally just using the right shampoo as opposed to something like body wash can make a big difference, in case you're interested

From experience, I can tell you this is actually short haired vs long haired people. You can't really grow out your hair without the ends going to shit if you mistreat it.
