So, I'm pretty new to painting nails, and this is the second time I painted them ever.

I painted my nails 5 days ago and applied a top coat. I applied a second layer + top coat 4 days ago, since I managed to scratch the paint quite fast. The second layer only covered up the scratches. Today I realised, that the paint started to get this yellowish tone. Primarily around the areas where I applied a second layer.

Is there something I could have done to prevent this?

Edit: the different colors are all fromthe same brand (the top coat is from a different brand) and they all have this phenomenon).

So if this isn’t the right community for this I get it, and feel free to remove it (but please do let me know why, so I don’t make the same mistake in the future, the rules don’t really say what sort of content, and this feels pretty femme-centric)

Partially I need to vent and don’t have a great social network at the moment, and partially I’m looking for ways to handle.. not the situations (those I can mostly handle as ex-military, former wrestler, badass chick 💪), but the guilty uncomfortable awkward feelings. Those are new since I stopped trying so hard to mask and started experiencing myself more.

I bartend once a week at a bar and grill as the only employee of my shift (I also cook and it’s too much tbh), and I guess that used to be a lot easier, or maybe the places I was working were just… less likely to attract the sort of people this one does.. it’s sort of an older-crowd townie bar (I’m complimented on being highly competent, and I feel like I’m drowning), with a local heavy

There's a lot of societal expectations for women, and often we totally understandably end up meeting them cos we feel we have to. They also sometimes just don't happen for us. What's one you're glad you didn't meet?

Women are taught to nurture and develop men. That's great, except sometimes trying puts you at risk, and it's often not reciprocated. Who here has got stuck in the past?

Women are often really hard on ourselves and it's really understandable. Society expects a lot of us, and women are seen badly for seeing themselves well.

Let's think positive! What's your favourite thing about you?

Feeling bored with your wardrobe but don't want to spend money on new clothes? The Wrong Shoe Theory suggests pairing the most unexpected pair of shoes you have with your outfit to change the whole vibe. Examples include wearing flip-flops with tailored pants, combat boots with a summer dress, or bright colored loafers with a muted suit.

Wrong Jacket Theory works the same way, pairing things you wouldn't normally think go together, like a blazer with t-shirt and shorts, or a jean jacket with a nice dress.

Have you guys tried either of these? What combos do you like?

lazysoci.al comes under immense pressure at times due to bots scraping the site. As all data is federated, they can essentially target any instance, small or big and scrape most of lemmy.

Usually the server hosting lazysoci.al can keep up with it. Sometimes, like today, the response times of the site suffer and it triggers an alert.

If I'm at my PC (which is like 18 hours a day /nerd) then I'll add another rule to Cloudflare to target the bots. Today the response was to block Tencent's AS#, which is a LOT of IP addresses. I'll check later today if I've snagged a Lemmy instance on this range and make adjustments.

Today was slightly special though, as the sheer number of unique IP addresses was 781 (!!). Any sort of rate limiting on a per-IP/visitor basis is not going to get triggered when they have this number of IPs to play with.

Usually Lemmy doesn't use much RAM, but today the server had to use its swap-space due to the number of concurrent requests. **So I am going to double the

It's something I've seen thrown at women a fair bit. Feminazi, stripping men's rights, feminism has gone too far blah blah. Has anyone ever accused you of it? And any women said this to you?

but @LadyButterfly is killing it in my feed.

Our home is our castle, and it's where we spend most our time. You may have just a room, bedsit, or mansion... what styles have you done it in?

I totally get the joke, and Pedro can only be a good thing (huge fan, pray daily that he adopts me). But I do understand why some men would find it insulting. What's your thoughts?
