Electric trimmers are hot garbage, shaving is one thing that technology hasn't improved on in a long time. Even those multibladed carts are universally terrible. The best shave is still a brush, cream, and a single blade razor.

They're fine if you just buzz it to 1/2 half blade length once or twice a week. Clean-shaven and beard grooming take a modicum of effort. I still loathe the 2 or 3 minutes of it. If I'm ever rich maybe I'll try a huge beard. Related peeve: dudes who grow huge beards but don't realize that the cool, good-leaking beards you see are high-upkeep. If anyone has a good solution for dicks and balls I'm all ears.

Are women still expected to shave their legs and pits? It's 2022 ffs I groom my facial hair into designs and people know them by name. Presently I'm sporting "The Blade" which is a variation of "The Sword". The most advance form is "Silk and The Heron" but requires three levels of hair growth to pull off. credburn has a new favorite as of 18:50 on Mar 7, 2022 |

It's 2022 ffs At least here in The States the shaving is still generally considered a fundamental aspect of femininity and lapsing or rejecting it is considered a transgression. The only person I've known to take a stand about it? The last time we talked they told me about how empowering it felt to be packing. And you know what? Hell yeah.

Killingyouguy! posted:I need to know what this means So, I'm going to do an awful job, so here's an illustration. I know it's an awful illustration but it might help. So if you imagine, I grow naturally a full beard. The Sword is where the mustache and beard meet, and they taper out about an inch before reaching my sideburns. Actually, I did the illustration badly; the tapering ends about my nose. The Blade is like The Sword but there is a division between the mustache and beard. The mustache tapers toward the sideburns, and swoops down a but, but doesn't touch the beard. And SIlk and the Heron is this; The beard and mustache do connect, but only barely, just as they both taper off toward my sideburns. Furthermore, on my chin, there are three levels of growth so that it kind of jabs downward. That's the heron's beak! Or actually, here is just the image I use on Facebook. It's The Blade but kind of looks bad because I hadn't shaved that day. credburn has a new favorite as of 04:13 on Mar 8, 2022 |

Killingyouguy! posted:I'm no industry expert, I don't know if this was a real technical limitation or a stylistic choice, but there was definitely a period right around when everyone was switching to Flash for tv animation where it looked like they were overdoing bounciness in motion (not squash and stretch, like literally just exaggerating the paths moving layers took) to get over how otherwise lifeless flash looked and it was terrible I remember learning Flash for animation when it first came out. It was really hard to make the animation have life to it. It always ended up stiff. Apropos of nothing, the last time I used Flash was for a job that paid $600 in 2000. I did a turtle that played guitar and sang "On the Road Again." It was pretty good. I wish I had saved it. The company did not acquire the rights to the song even though I told them they needed to. I think I did pretty good turtle Willy Nelson. My turtle had the braided pig tails and bandana. Plus a scruffy beard. It was for a trade show for a product that they made that was a power meter that sent data across power transmission lines. It was called "The Turtle" because it was slow but it was better than a meter reader. This was pre cell service everywhere so it was actually really cool for rural areas. I delivered the animation and they promptly declared bankruptcy. I played collection agent and, after a month or two, got my $600. I was pretty happy with that. The check was a personal check. I'm sure the person from the company that hired me just straight up paid me herself because she felt bad. And that was the end of my animation career. Too bad. I really like doing it.

I used to make derpy Flash animations in the 2000s, back when you had to e-mail a guy to get your cartoon on Newgrounds. I was 16. In a convoluted teenage-drama filled adventure, I, an American kid traveled to Australia to meet my Internet girlfriend and was briefly engaged to her. Her father was going to hire me as some kind of specialty thing that would greatly help if not basically grant me citizenship in my new country. Until he brought me to his job, sat me down with a guy, gave us a task involving making an interactive activity for his business website, and thus discovered I knew gently caress-all about Flash but I guess was pretty good at hiding my ineptitude behind elaborate motion tweens. Even the guy whose job was to make poo poo in Flash for a living thought I must know what I was doing.

This is exactly how I got my job in tech support, just know how to Google poo poo and make sure you take notes in case it comes up in the future. My first job I basically had a mycrimes.txt OneNote that, should my boss ever have actually read it, would show that my experience was 20% knowhow from using computers daily and 80% desperate Google searches like "how do you reset a network adapter" and "what is a raid array" I know what I'm doing now, but you can totally still get a job like that.

Which brings up my job related peeve. When you start at a new job, where what exactly they want/need done is a mystery and you'll "be trained, don't worry". Month later, still got many many questions, but just roll with it seems to be the answer. When I heard about some jobs using eye scan technology to make sure you are looking at the screen when you are supposed to be, I had the fear put into me. What kind of misanthrope programmed that?? Someone who is tired of their coworkers slacking off all the time I bet.

hello if you are a package deliverer, can you please not just open doors without knocking or ringing the doorbell and waltzing in like you own the place? Are you trying to get shot or what? Why would you ever do this? Also after I tell you to get the gently caress out, why would you yell through the door "should i just leave it at the door?"...yes, you should, that's your job. Put it on the ground, knock and leave.

gently caress anything I have to plug in on the back of a large electronic device but you have to look at the plug to get it in properly. I should be able to plug that poo poo in blind and reaching and bending my wrist weird because, guess what, that's the situation. The absolute worst is the recessed plug area on the back of my TV, because I can't even see the jacks looking down from the top, in from the side, tipping it... I literally have to be entirely behind the TV looking at the jacks or I'm probing around like a bad date.

I get kind of annoyed when a song that is normally followed by another song is not. Like, when you hear We Will Rock You, you expect We Are the Champions to follow. When you hear Feelin' That Way, you know Anytime is coming up. Tainted Love should segue into Where Did Our Love Go, and Nights in White Satin into Late Lament. Well, that's more a poem than a song. I went out dancing to 80s music last night and had to be like WAIT WAIT STOP EVERYTHING more than once

Google, please introduce a tipping function for basic guides on how to do something. Make that a way to make a living, where instead of a 20 minute youtube video where 80% of it is telling you to smash the notification bell, make it so i can give money to people who just tell me how to do it, no frills, just the steps. I have spent 2 days trying to learn how to stream oculus quest 2 to twitch. I will not watch your drat videos. Just tell me how in text, i'll pay you!
