Definitely had it at a fair share of parties I went to when I was at uni.
Haven’t had it since though, nor can I see myself buying it. But I really don’t care for gin. Only drank it in the uni days, because tonic water does a good job of softening the blow.
TBH, this makes very little sense to me, because that stereotype hasn’t been true for decades. I was once a braces kid (in a country where that was very normal) and have been living in the UK for 10 years. No significant differences in the state of people’s teeth.
Either the people you were watching are very old (born pre WW2) or an especially unlucky bunch. 😆
You’re right, but the absolute potato of a camera that was in the Nintendo DSi somehow made everyone look good 😆
That is absolutely wild.
When I was at uni (2016-2019), you had to leave all of your belongings behind in a designated area, and only carry a clear/transparent container with your pen(s) to the exam room. You could optionally bring a clear water bottle (label removed.)
If you ask to use the bathroom, there is no opportunity to go back to your belongings.
Trans man here, IMHO being nonbinary can be paired with being trans, but not necessarily, i.e. they are not inherently the same thing.
If they have dysphoria and want to transition to alleviate it (irrespective of whether they can), then yes, they are trans.
If the extent of a nonbinary person’s journey is to go by they/them, or they/them + the pronouns associated with their AGAB, then I would not categorise them as trans. To be clear, I am not saying that this is not a valid stance - just that the experience is not the same as being trans, though there may be some overlap.
Obviously you cannot work this out without intimately knowing the person, and it isn’t really anyone else’s business anyway, but to answer the question explicitly, I would refer to them as a nonbinary person (in the absence of further information, and where the ‘nonbinary’ descriptor is relevant otherwise I would just say ‘person’), not a trans person.
How is anyone using ChatGPT in an exam? Surely exams are taken in controlled conditions?
Happy to help 😅
FWIW, I’m bi and find other bald(ing) men who embrace it attractive :)
I just wish other people were less demeaning about it; rude comments about bald men (mostly from women unfortunately) were the biggest barrier to acceptance for me.
Just putting it out there, because I have been silenced every time I have tried to talk about my negative experiences with minoxidil:
I was on a 10% topical formulation (so 2x the strength of regular Regaine/Rogaine) and the stuff destroyed my skin on a permanent basis. About a month or 2 in I started noticing lines and wrinkles where I previously had none, my eyes were really puffy, and I started to look like the ‘after’ photo in those PSAs about doing drugs. I had to come off the stuff and take collagen supplements daily to even slightly reverse that. I’m not back to baseline and likely never will be; that shit aged me by about 8 years in the span of 6 months. It was honestly much worse than hair loss itself.
Before I came off it, when I told the ““clinic”” that prescribed me what I was experiencing, they said it was placebo. Meanwhile, other hair loss sufferers online told me that I was making it up because I was jealous of other men’s gains (???)
I am by no means saying this will necessarily happen if you take minox, but it wasn’t even a reported side effect on the leaflet (where it lists common/uncommon/rare/very rare side effects), and I was genuinely trying to get it on there so people could be aware that this is a risk.
I would be super cautious of oral administration. When I was on the topical, it was only in contact with my scalp and any part of my body that would touch my pillow while sleeping I guess. Can’t imagine what it would have done going through the digestive system instead.
Sincerely, fuck the hair restoration industry and the way it preys on desperate people.
Sorry that this isn’t necessarily super on-topic (or uplifting), but seeing/hearing about minoxidil brings up a really bad experience.
Am Brit, have 3 credit cards, am I missing something?
I only know one adult who doesn’t have any.
Edit: I think you might be confusing us with France, where the vast majority pay with debit cards.
