ahh i am playing this now for the first time too and it is a blast!! still figuring out if i can run a currency scam between NCR cash and caps, and i’ve successfully learned how to fleece the locals at cards

gf: my most entertaining story involves a corpse in a fridge

me: 🙊

this is not exactly how they phrased it, to be fair

my parents said they would pay for me to trans faster

which, in line with my philosophy of refusing to spend more than $10/month on any product, is TJ’s teatree condish/shampoo and suave clarifying every once in a while. for those curious! i used to use deep/leave in conditioners but since i never use heat, i don’t think they’re necessary

oh yea it’s def CGM. cowashing is too fussy for me so i use a low-poo and clarify like 3-4 times a month. i kinda think the ingredients thing is BS but the products i use (i think) are compliant

i have not but i’ve gotten this advice too! when i break the gelcast i like put my fingers on my scalp and kinda move it up and shake it out to voluminize a bit. volume is less of an issue for me, partly just how my hair is and partly because i have a lot of layers cut in

i just scrunch a palm full of that LA looks blue gel into my wet hair, wait to dry, then crunch it with a tshirt

my hair is chest length and it works great for wavy curl definition! the downside is it takes ~6 hours to air dry, at least for me

imo the way to resolve this is gelcasting

this was pretty widely publicized in mainstream liberal circles!

rough new for oregonians :/

Service Change Proposal Survey We want to hear what you think of our service change proposals for August and November 2026.

Idk how many Portlanders are on bsky but if you live in #PDX & rely on/care about public transit, please go do this TriMet survey on their proposed service cuts.

These cuts will be devastating to low-income & disabled folks all over the city, so please be loud about how much these will suck

seems like there is an obvious 8-9 replacement??

he def wants to be governor but unlikely to run this election imo
