Can we all agree that Leon is one of most handsome and dreamy male characters in fiction and best in RE? What went so right with this guy?

I hate this Leon. He looks like he couldn't cope with his twink death and resorted to plastic surgeries. Idk why everyone is so hype about him.

That's because he has neither of those things. His backstory is that he's a police officer from raccoon city. His personality is making quips (in RE4).

I've been a nail biter all my life. I have avoided biting my nails for a while and now theyre the longest theyve ever been. They extend all the way to my fingertip now. The only issue is i dont know how to take care of them.

in my experience, a simple gel polish manicure (just color, no design or acrylics) would last me around 2-3 weeks, sometimes longer depending how tempted i was to pick and bite the polish off. obviously it will last longer if you don't do what i did. you can get your manicure redone even if the nail polish is intact though for long term nail health i am not sure if it'd be healthy. if you want acrylics, i've heard the shortest they will last is around 1 week and the longest is 4 weeks but it depends on your nail tech i guess, since acrylics and press ons stay longer when you have clean nails and cuticles pushed back. for just a gel manicure i'd pay roughly 50-80 dollars when i still got them done, i've never gotten acrylics or any fancy designs so i have no idea how much they cost. i'd recommend saving money if this is too expensive for you.

crackpot yet affordable ways to grow flat chest Anonymous 22283[Reply]

So..I am really flat due to genetics(my mother told me she had the same condition before she had me). I don’t know if this should go in /feels/ because it relates a lot to body dysmorphia. As much as I try to fight it, it keeps nagging at me. Anyways, I’m a brokie so some things I am thinking of trying are bee pollen if i can find it and otc menopause meds.
Nonas, do you have any other suggestions?

Its anecdotal, but a slim girl with big ones told me it is because she drank cow milk every day and it looked like it works, but it could be just genetics, although her mom had smaller ones. I don't know any more details.

Tell me about your experiences. Are SSRIs a meme? Did they help? How long did it take for the supposed effects to kick in? Did you experience severe adverse effects or weight gain?

I'm about to get started on paroxetine with clonazepam for sleep, been taking lorazepam everyday for a month now so I will have to taper off and jump in the SSRI train, that or abuse the clonazepam.

I’m the same way with the useless procrastination/motivation I hate myself

Anonymous 18001

I take an NDRI (bupropion/wellbutrin xl 300 mg), not an SSRI. I got put on cipralex (an SSRI) initially, which made all my symptoms worse.

I can notice its effects if I forget to take it for a day or two; I get very lethargic, my sinuses feel swollen, and I feel all of the guilt that I have suppressed. I also become incredibly hungry (Wellbutrin is used as an appetite suppressant).

The only problems that I have with it are that it causes tinnitus and hand tremors. It also heightens my anxiety level, but that's relatively okay. It also makes me more prone to seizures and I'm not supposed to have alcohol with it, but I don't really care about that and drink normally anyway.


>Are SSRIs a meme?
Can't say, but my NDRI appears to be working.
>Did they help?
Yes, I don't think I would be where I am today without it.
>How long did it take for the supposed effects to kick in?
I'd say 3-5 weeks.
>Did you experience severe adverse effects or weight gain?
I experienced a lot of weight loss, which I loved.

I kneel before SSRI's and other psych meds. Neurotransmitter dysregulation is absolutely real. Obviously a large part of fixing it is changing your lifestyle but 1) meds can be very good support if you have nothing else 2) drugs are probably a good way of figuring out what is wrong.

At the very least drugs aside approaching problems from the neurotransmitter perspective is a good idea so you know why you're so fucked up and unproductive.

However, one thing I don't want is to be one of those people chugging med cocktails. Doesn't seem right to me somehow. Like it's the main treatment and not changing the things that fucked up your neurochemistry to begin with.

genuinely start calorie counting. measuring cups are okay but food scale is better. calorie deficit consistently is physically guaranteed to cause you to lose weight and be skinnier. start working out (focus on abs, glutes, legs) if you want a better form/physique.

Anonymous 22669

Be careful counting calories. You should, but don't obsess over it and think eating less is a cure-all. Try to avoid any diets that involve cutting food out completely because those diets always end with binging. Your best friend is consistent workout. If you are so big that certain exercises cause pain, choose weight friendly ones or swim. Suddenly doing difficult workouts when your heavy can ruin your joints.

Anonymous 22670

Sometimes weight gain is hormonal or genetic. You can eat less and still hold onto fat because some of your ancestors starved at some point in time.

The answer to why moisturizers are needed is in the second half of your post.

You should wear sunscreen. Retinol is maybe the only skincare active worth investing in and if you use it you definitely need sunscreen. You should take the sunscreen off in the evening with a cleanser. And most people's skin gets dry after cleansing so they need a moisturizer.

Anonymous 22575

>>21863
That's like saying soap doesn't work.
Of course if you expect moisturizing to keep you young forever or reverse aging process you're setting yourself for disappointment
as long as the moisturizer does it's job of keeping skin from being dry, it's effective. it's literally the only thing it's supposed to do and everything else is a marketing gimmick

You don't know how the world works. Where I live the only food you'll be able to afford to make from 'scratch' is instant noodles unless you have a high paying, skilled job or you work a lot.

sounds like a horrible place, too bad for you the only way to be alive as a human today is to live in the exact place that you live in and there are no other places you could go where there is food available.

How bad does my body look? Anonymous 22181[Reply]

I'm chubby and working on it, currently 58kg trying to reach 50kg, but I don't know if that will be enough, I fear that losing weight won't really make me look that much better since my hips are so narrow. I'm not asking if I should give up on losing weight, I'm asking how bad my body looks.

Hi nona, I don't know how you are doing right now, but I think we have pretty similar fat distribution. Although I am probably taller than you and weigh more. I also have narrow hips with kind of an unflattering shape and losing the fat definitely helped me get a nicer more sculpted waist. But also working on my posture really helped me get a more defined waist. Hope you are well and your weight loss journey is working!

I think you should focus on being a healthy bmi for your health's sake rather than looks, since you only look few pounds overweight. The issue here is the dress. It looks cheap and unflattering, tight around your hips and bunchy at your waist. What you need are skirts/dresses/pants that are baggier/flare out at the hips, and it will balance out your silhouette. A fit and flare dress would probably suit you, or straight-leg pants with a tank top. At least, that works for me since I have a similar silhouette. Also, nicer materials drape better and are more flattering.

I only shave my underarms and do it because it's easier to use deodorant + get clean after sweaty exercise when there's not hair in the way. I do it probably every other time I shower

Overall I find shaving legs to be a meditative thing to do once in a while, but I wear long pants so I have no reason to do it regularly

Overall I think shaving is a waste of time unless you have a specific functional reason for it. Beauty standards and whatever but who gaf. I'm a human being, not a barbie doll to ogle

For those who have gotten electrolysis how does it feel, specifically how much does it hurt? I want to get it since I hate body hair but I'm nervous, especially about the bikini area

Anonymous 22092

>>22091
Depends a lot on the skill of the technician, I think, as well as the part of the body. That said, it barely hurts more than just plucking the hair out normally. Usually they use a topical anesthetic of some sort so it can also basically feel like nothing at times.

It's important to remember that it takes a while to get results. A lot of people seem to expect it to be some kind of instant miracle.

Only the bikini line for me. Its winter so i dont really shave my legs but otherwise i do
