Pluses (+) and minuses (−) of this day

[PluMGMK]

+ Got to use a Transmission Electron Microscope for the first time!
± One of my old lecturers walked in during the session and I don't think he recognized me Who could blame him, I wear a ponytail now
+ I think I finally managed to get polyethylene oxide to dissolve in acetonitrile without making a colossal screw-up of it…

+ Looks like my GitHub repo has hit 600 stars (whereas it wasn't quite there in time for Record Day )
– It's also got 22 open issues, many of which are really tricky, with the latest opened today

– Chin broke out in spots yet again, maybe I should see a professional about this…

+ Just made my first, and i hope, the last in-game purchase ever.
In my defense, it was a mere 1.30$! It’s not like i spent 600$ on some French anime girl or something! I’m very frugal when it comes to money, but this time i let my thoughts win… Just a little.

Careful with those, that's how they get you. I used to think like that and then I paid for an upgrade on a Facebook game (that was before I even was on the RPC). 5€ isn't huge but when I hit the next road block my brain was like "well you did it once anyway so ain't no harm in doing it again. It's only 5€ anyway". Before I knew it, I had spent 200€ over the course of three months for a shitty facebook game.

Besides, anime girls can't be French. French cartoon girls are called Animées. Get your facts str8 m8!!

+ This is gonna sound extremely weird, but listen…
I saw a guy today that had hentai as his phone wallpaper, and it made me think… Made me think that i should stop being embarrassed of every little thing that i do. Because if this guy can have a naked lady on his phone, in the public as well, why the fuck i’m sweating bullets everytime i stutter a little or say something too soon? Humans are all weirdos anyway!

Counterpoint : maybe societal norms exist for a reason and he should be the one to be embarrassed. They is probably a middle ground between your situation and his.

Bit late, but congratulations on 10k posts!

I wear a ponytail now

Nice to see I’m not the only one with long hair

I’m the opposite. I have short hair.. I need to get it cut again.

Indeed! Mine's always been really long, but I've only started tying it up recently for practical lab reasons. But it's also something I've wanted to do for years, so I'm happy with it

Haven't had mine cut in ten years

I always tend to get mine Dutch braided

I’ve been growing mine (though I do tend to tidy up their ends from time to time) for longer. Since 2012 iirc

Niiiice! I have to do that sometime…

[CosmicStrider]

+ Didn't even realize I ranked up! I am now a bird!

- Lost 300 tings in a record day bet. Drat!

+ That just means I get to post more!

+++ Feeling a lot better today, think my sickness bug is on its way out the door!

[EdgyRabbid]

+ my rank is making me laugh a lot purely because my dumb ass thinks the guy looks a lot like Richard Simmons.

[Fifo]

– didn’t rank up
+ does it really matter? all that matters is that I had fun, imo

[lyndo64]

+ Just realized I'm over 40,000 tings!
+ Watched the silent Phantom of the Opera film. Funnily enough I was already planning on watching the film today, but what I didn't know that today is the film's 100th anniversary! Crazy coincidence, ain't it

+/- watched Kpop Demon Hunters

Damn guys….too bad I can never get a ponytail. My hair is never that long enough. I attempted to grow my hair once earlier this year but after a certain point it stopped or something.

- I've completely lost my motivation to be active and have been pretty bone idle this week
- While I appreciate the cooldown, I'm also wishing it was a bit more gradual
+/- I've had a pretty decent weekend at least, though I'm pretty tired from yesterday and this is excarberating the lack of drive to do stuff today

That's amazing, I love when things like this happen! Though I can't read the name "Phantom of the Opera" without hearing Andrew Lloyd Weber's music in my mind, so the idea of a silent film of it strikes me as weird

Damn… I guess it reached a point where hairs were falling out at the same rate new ones were growing? I guess for some people that happens at shorter lengths than others…

Speaking of hair; i always had long hair, but i recently cut it! It’s like, shoulder length now.
Honestly, i was kinda afraid of cutting that much hair, because i felt like my long hair had become a part of my identity. I’m not sure how to explain it, but it just felt wrong to imagine myself having shorter hair… But i’m actually pretty happy with it!
+ Bruises are healing, hooray!
+ Ate boiled corn yesterday, i really missed that taste

[EdgyRabbid]

+ got accepted into a collage class!

I know exactly what you mean. When I was about to graduate one of the girls suggested I should cut mine really short as I was starting a new chapter in my life and I was like "wtf, do you know me at all? " (though I was more polite out loud ) Anyway, glad your new style is working for you!

[Greengoop]

I mean, I think that getting a ridiculous haircut while on a gap year or something sounds like a pretty fun idea.
