  • Having your nails painted isn’t nearly as scary as it sounds. You might get a second glance sometimes, but mostly people don’t really care and it’s all in your head. Mine are a nice flashy corral color right now and I haven’t had any negative interactions. In a worst case you just kind of get the feeling that people are actively trying to not comment on it.

    It honestly works great as a good social filter. Sometimes I’ll run into a cashier or someone similar in passing who seems uncomfortable with it(usually older folks), but it’s otherwise a good way to find other queer folks or allies in the wild and start a conversation.





  • If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

    Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.







  • I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

    In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, NC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

    That’s about it.





  • I’ve moved across country twice so far and this is pretty spot on. The very beginning and very end of the trip is the only point that’s going to be potentially difficult, otherwise you should always be traveling on a major highway if possible.

    The only thing I would add is to plan ahead and make sure you know exactly where you’re going to stop and rest for the night with that length of drive. You’re going to want to plan to get to your final destination in early evening when there is a good buffer of sunlight still around or in the early mid-morning so that you can get as early a start as possible on unpacking. Also make sure you have a lock for the back of the moving truck if you’re stopping anywhere overnight and park the truck somewhere you can see it from your hotel window.
