I hope it’s peach flavoured so it can have a name like “peachy dish”

I started shaving my head when my hair started thinning in my early 30’s. That was 25 years ago. I used to love my hair, but now I would not go back to having hair if I had the option. It took a few weeks to get used to for me.

There is a Seinfeld episode about this.

I use to have long hair and a ponytail. I started to lose hair, like all men in my family, around ~25 yo. (I swear I don’t do roids or testosterone treatment)

I just jumped the gun and shaved i all.

I really enjoy being bald:

  • It feels great to be able to scrub and moisturise your scalp after every shower
  • Sometimes, I will let my beard grow for a few days, and groom it real well (shave clean the bottom half of my neck, and the top of the cheeks). I believe I look good.

If you’re worried about male pattern hair lose, but don’t care about having a libido: Prescription Finnesteride. It a testosterone blocker specifically for the one that causes male pattern baldness. I was hitting stage two, and a long with the HRT I’m taking, I am seeing a lot of clawback on spots I thought would be bald forever.

I only pay like $15 for three months through GoodRX.

HonkTonkWoman ,

HRT is magic for hair loss.

gueybana ,

but don’t care about having a libido

This is a small minority of men or so they say, it’s not a guarantee

Pick up boxing as a habit.

Take my surgical scalpel and remove portions that do nothing but bring me grief. The best part about being an adult is being able to choose my friends and acquaintances. If someone I love is going through a rough time I’ll help them, but if it drags on for years or if I never get any joy from the relationship I don’t need to keep it in my life.

What’s the threshold here - on and off again with their ex type rough times, or ongoing cancer battle

xmunk ,

That’s a choice you need to make for yourself, and it’s okay either way you make it.

I’m asking you what you meant, not taking it as advice.

I’ve dropped people for the former and similar drama. The latter would be… Gross

HubertManne , to showerthoughts in There should be a semicolon punctuation for exclamation and question marks.

are you envisioning it as a lighter exlamation, question ??

HEXN3T OP ,
@HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

It’s just an exclamation or question mark combined with the purpose of a semicolon; Not quite ending a sentence, but also changing the tone midway through. It’s situational, but I’d absolutely find it useful.

HubertManne ,

ok I think I get it. seems as valid as using double question marks or exclamation marks which is kinda common.

jws_shadotak , to nostupidquestions in What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

If you are truly struggling and need actual dental care, try searching for a local dental school near you. Many will take patients for cheap or free, with the caveat that a dental student will be performing the treatment.

Otherwise, brush at least twice a day and floss. Do not re-use strands of floss, like with those convenient plastic picks. You’ll just be transferring bacteria to each crevice after it’s been used.

Get a water pick (whatever it’s called) - I heard those are great but I don’t have one myself.

Also, in my area, most dentists will allow you to pay over time (like a year+…).

And there are FREE programs like this:

Niagara’s Mobile Dental Clinic

Ask around - you may be surprised.

BearOfaTime ,

Every dentist I’ve had disliked water piks. I had one for a while. Had.

etchinghillside ,

Any particular reason why?

tamal3 ,

… Wait, don’t reuse dental floss? Oh no. I thought the point was only to loosen gunk!

As someone from the Netherlands, where cavities get checked twice a year and filled for a few euros a month, this is actually wild to read.

Do people here overpay insurance that much? Or is this just a business in some other countries? Or is it something else entirely?

TheBigBrother , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

Just don’t give a flying fuck about anyone else’s opinion about you, it works for other things also. Good luck!!

NJSpradlin , to asklemmy in How to deal with being bald?

I had ‘a little’ thinning back in 2013, and immediately went fully bald shaving my head 3x a week since then. Our appearances and acceptance of it depends on your ability to come to terms, identify and personify with the truth of the matter and your decisions.

I had thinning. I said fuck it and told myself how I would identify, instead of letting my genetics get the better part of me. I was in my early 20s. I’ve been bald since and when people know you as bald, they don’t judge you like people who knew you with hair.

Go all in, make it who you are, stop caring about hair, and people, and their opinions (if they matter), will follow. (That being said, don’t be bald with a stache, unless you’re ready for that kind of judgement. In my field it’s pretty common, and so are the ‘pedo stache’ jokes. You just have to ignore them. For clarity, I’m bald with a mustache.)
