I'm sorry, but I don't understand why 90% of people's interactions with those they like or date seem to revolve around making mean jokes about them. A lot of people seem to think this is okay. Why?
"Mummy pleasee, I won't do that again."
"No,no. Read up on Antiarrhythmic drugs. You will present to your dad and I tomorrow at the family library, 9am"
There's enjoyment for whatever stage in life you're in. You're aspiring for billionaire flex when there's the one within your couple of thousands' budget. Do that first.
One random lady asked me how I washed my clothes with nails on, I simply told her I have a washing machine and I let the awkward silence reign. Even if I no get machine, what's your own inside there?
The same way people will see long nails, skip all the regular questions to ask & go straight to "how do you wash your nyash with those nails?".
Do you really want the answer to that?
Decorations on your nails don’t merely signal that you like pretty things. They also signal that you don’t need (or want) to do functional things with your hands.
In evolutionary language, extensive nail decorations are a handicap—just like high heels and skirts that restrict movement. They say to the world: I am of a class or a mindset, or aspire to be of such, in which physical work is beneath me. I do not expect to fix my own problems, or attend to my own needs.
Does simple color on relatively short nails say the same thing? I don’t think so, but I admit to being a novice in this arena. I am 57yo and have had but one manicure in my life. Growing up, my hands were precious: I was training to be a concert pianist. Thus, early on, even though the “work” I was doing was neither necessary nor physically strenuous, I understood that my hands were functional, not decorative.
I am a devotee of color. Sometimes I see flashes of color on another woman’s nails and think - oh how beautiful. Still, I do not want it for myself, and I am hardly alone. When I am gardening or cooking, working with clay or with ink, I do not want to be concerned about preserving the art on my hands.
Also: it’s toxic. Does toxicity vary between treatments and brands? Sure. That doesn’t make any of it safe.
I saw someone’s story time yesterday talking about “things moved fast between us for 6 months and I ended up pregnant even though we weren’t planning for a baby.” I kept scrolling. My tolerance for listening to women act like pregnancy just falls out of a coconut tree is on 0.
Catholicism is so deep, sometimes I forget how ancient it is. Listened to a Tucker Carlson's podcast with an exorcist & he talked about training to cast out demons as they receive about 800 requests monthly.
