I was thinking about adding some tongue twisters in to my voice training routine, since they'll have different sets of sounds than what I normally use in conversation. Here's one for each day of the next week.

MondayTo sit in solemn silence in a dull, dark dock, In a pestilential prison, with a lifelong lock, Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock, From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block

TuesdaySix sick hicks nick six slick bricks with picks and sticks

WednesdayFred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread

ThursdayA blanched black bug bleeds black blood but what color blood does a bland blue bug bleed?

FridayThe great Greek grape growers grow great Greek grapes

SaturdayIf you must cross a coarse cross cow across a crowded cow crossing, cross the cross coarse cow across the crowded cow crossing carefully

SundayLuke's duck likes lakes. Luke Luck licks lakes. Luke's duck licks lakes. Duck takes licks in lakes Luke Luck likes

If you want something normal sounding to say instead, try the Harvard Sentences. Or read a book to someone!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Going to the store for hair product, then might fuck around and shave my legs??

Also any experiences with IPL devices? I'd like to start addressing the actual growth process but laser/electrolysis are a bit pricey for me atm and epilating would apparently be really bad for my keratosis pilaris

Protip: if you get an epilator get the kind that can also be a regular shaver. Theyre pricier but this way youre not SOL should you give up on epilation altogether.

IPL can't do face or genitals, so that's a big limitation you might want to consider.

[โ€“] RION@hexbear.net 4 points 5 hours ago

I'm not so concerned about the gennies at this point. face would be nice but i figure i could always do that separately

[โ€“] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Having smooth legs is really nice.

Sadly the affordable IPL devices aren't very powerful, so if you want permanent reduction you're probably better off saving the money to put towards laser/electrolysis at a later date.

I know a lot of the efficacy depends on the color of your body hair. I think mine might be borderline

[โ€“] peanutbuttercupola@hexbear.net 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

What exactly did you want to accomplish with the IPL?

[โ€“] RION@hexbear.net 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

i mean reduction and slowed regrowth of body hair, right? I don't expect it to be total destruction or anything

Fair enough. If you want to make them more effective, you can try going over the same small area multiple times in rapid succession.
