Head on over to r/curlyhair. The Curly Girl method, which is what we use over there, requires using sulfate and silicone free hair products. So if you are looking for that kind of product, that's where you want to look because the sidebar has a link to a giant list of sulfate-free hair products, including shampoos, conditioners, styling products, and much more. My brand of choice is Shea Moisture shampoo and conditioner (any version works awesome for me but this is my favorite), which can be bought on Amazon for like $12 a bottle or $20 for a set, and styling products are similarly priced. There are cheaper options out there, too, if you're on a tight budget.

Bonus points if you actually have curly hair because the CGM is honestly fucking amazing. I was skeptical at first but finally tried it about 2 months ago and it has changed the way I view, care for, and style my hair and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

Good luck!

I can prove a lot of these mass shooters are doing it for attention: just look where they're shooting. Schools, theaters, and parks. Places where when we hear about it we go, "Oh my God. Why would someone do that?" Gets tons of ratings as we try to figure out their motivation. They know this. That's why you never hear about mass shootings at the DMV.

They all know nobody's going to say, "Oh my God, did you hear??? Why would someone... want to shoot up a DMV?!?!"

If that story was on Reddit you wouldn't even click on the article. You'd be like, "Well that fucking took long enough. Ooh, they're remaking Legends of the Hidden Temple with Ryan Reynolds? Upvote!"

If there was a mass shooting at the DMV while I was there, my first thought wouldn't be, "Oh my God, we need gun control!" or "Oh my God, we need to talk about mental health!" It'd be "Oh my God... I just moved up six spots in line! Thank you!"

PLUG: If you enjoy my material, I just released a stand-up album, which is available now on iTunes, Google Play, Amazon, and Spotify. So if you'd like to hear how this joke or dozens of others I've posted in this sub over the years sounds out loud, this is the best option. Otherwise, see y'all on twitter and Instagram. Thanks! <3

“Lol, k-buddy.”

What a schmuck.

Speaking American: How Y’all, Youse , and You Guys Talk: A Visual Guide https://www.amazon.com/dp/0544703391/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_MjDCCbR9VX4XD

The above link is the actual survey results from which NYT pulled their information. As you can see, the two terms are used interchangeably in much of the United States. The original, peer-reviewed, quantitative survey was conducted by the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee.

The second link is the results of the 350,000 Americans who took the NYT survey as compiled into a visual guide. On the description section of the page you will actually see the map for roundabout vs traffic circle. Traffic circle is only almost exclusively Dallas, OKC, Louisiana, and the East Coast north of South Carolina. The rest of the country seems to use the term roundabout. Now, it only takes a very simple high school education in reasoning and a working middle school knowledge of geography and using maps to see that it is pretty clearly a regional difference to the tune of about 350,000 real data points deep.

But, as we all know, whatever one edition of one dictionary says is probably a better source for the growth and evolution of language than a research study involving living speakers of the language, so you should definitely just keep blindly citing the Oxford English Dictionary like it makes you intelligent. That’s why any time someone says they have “imposter syndrome,” I politely point out that word is not proper English since it’s not part of the 2017 Oxford English Dictionary, and that’s my preferred version on which to base all usage of language.

Tl;dr - you are a pedantic, condescending tool (and unfortunately not even a smart one) who thinks the stand up shots subreddit is the best place to flex your lack of intelligence, “buddy.”

I wrote a book about open mic comedy, it covers my experience getting started in Denver (with some Atlanta, NYC, and Los Angeles). I've had good feedback from open mic comedians in SF and Chicago that bought it.

You can get it from any independent bookseller in America if you request it. It is also available online and on most e-reader platforms.

You can get it for free at your local library if you request it by title/author/ISBN all of which can be found at that Amazon link. If you need support for that message me.

If you are an open mic comedian and want a copy, message me through my website, if you send me a quick open-mic story I'll send you a signed copy for the cost of shipping.

Thanks for any support! If you want to get it somewhere else I'm not offering it, let me know. If I can get it on the Nook I think I can get it anywhere.

This bone is called the baculum. Interestingly, some people use it as an argument about translations of one of the sources of the Bible (The j source. wrote most of genesis, exodus, and numbers).

The argument is that Eve wasn't made from a rib. When most translations say "rib", some people argue that this is a mistranslation of "baculum."

To see their evidence, look at your scrotum (If you don't have one, I'm sure someone will be eager to help). For most men, the scrotum has a line that runs down the center from the base of the penis to the perineum. This is a product of sexual differentiation of the fetus. In males, the proto-labia fuse together and the generic gonads descend into it, forming the scrotum and testicles.

The argument is that God took the baculum out of Adam to make Eve. Hence the "scar", and why humans don't have a baculum when most placental mammals do.

tl;dr: scrotums have lines from where god removed man's penis bone to make eve.

EDIT: I should probably say that I'm not an expert about this. My knowledge is not really from a religious perspective. What I know about the bible is primarily from 2 classes I took 2 years ago in freshman year out of personal interest, which were more about secular biblical scholarship (i.e., study about the book itself. sources, authorship, its history, dynamic vs static translations, etc) than religious study. You can't truly separate studying a religious text from studying its meanings and interpretations, but the class as a whole was from a secular and objective perspective.

Needless to say I'm not an expert about this type of stuff. This theory wasn't mentioned in the class; I saw it somewhere online (wikipedia maybe) and thought it was interesting. I don't think that it's a very well known argument, but it does explain some things that a direct, literal interpretation can't. For example, if you have a finger, ribs, a willing member of the opposite sex, and the ability to count, you may notice that men and women have the same number of ribs.

Ultimately, interpretations of the bible are probably as numerous as the people who read it (and those who clearly haven't). The earliest source (the J source), was written somewhere around the 10th century bce. That's 3000 years ago, twice as distant from the modern day as from the last of the mammoths. The whole thing was written over a span of centuries. It's full of contradictions, unclear references, and obvious falsehoods. The oldest version we have is the septuagint, which is in ancient greek. What few sources we have in biblical hebrew are, as one might expect, in biblical hebrew, which is dead and massively distant from modern hebrew, so translations are entirely subject to interpretation.

There's a lot we don't (and much we probably can't) know about the bible. There are tons of theories and interpretations to explain things that don't make sense. I thought the one about the baculum was interesting.

If you want to know more about this kind of stuff, read a bible designed for scholarship. For the old testament/hebrew bible, I recommend the JPS translation and the NRSV translation for the new testament (nrsv is good for both, but jps is better for the hebrew bible b/c it's from a jewish perspective). The links are for the versions I have, which are really good.

I’m not spreading any lies. I just googled “Tom Myers comedian review” and the first article is this one.

And then I saw the rating of your CD in Amazon (2 stars)

Honestly, I’ve never heard any of your work, my first contact with you was this joke, that just fell flat for me.

Also, of course I’m not touring New York, I don’t even live in the US, or work as a comedian. I’m interested in see what those “repercussions” might be, being that I’m just an anonymous person on the internet and you have no way of reaching me. Say Hi to your high friends for me, by the way.

What about Andy Daly? His "Nine Sweaters" series involved silly costumes and was hilarious: http://www.amazon.com/Nine-Sweaters-Andrew-Daly/dp/B00G5AT5BE

Or Seth Galifianakis? Or the Walsh Brothers? Or any live Comedy Bang Bang show?

There's a ton of great silly costume comedy.

If you're really interested in paneled story telling check out Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud.

This little sample gives you some pretty good ideas for telling jokes with simple visual transitions. It's a must read for anyone who really wants to create impactful messages through images.

Love the joke, but for real, the alton brown method is awesome and gives you real movie theater popcorn at home. (I LOVE movie theater popcorn and microwave shit just isn't the same.)

In a big metal bowl on the store and a couple spoons of coconut oil. Throw in one kernal, when it pops it's ready. Throw in the rest of the premeasured popcorn and flavacol, the stuff they use at the theaters, and then seal with aluminum foil poked with holes to vent and then shake it jiffypop style till it just stops popping.

Perfect pop every time, transfer to another bowl and drizzle butter on top if you want.

I still get popcorn at the theaters, but there have been times where I have wanted to go to the movies just because I was having a popcorn craving, and now I don't have to, LoL.

This is an excellent study of Satan in the history of the Christian religion, and those that preceded it. I love this authors work, she has a way with history. Fun Fact, she is Hans Pagels wife. Jeff Goldblooms part in Jurassic Park was based on him. And I'm not religious, just enjoy the history of it all.

He's got a whole character that wears belts, world champion hats, shirts, etc....with enough tongue in cheek "world champion' jokes to fill a book

https://www.amazon.ca/How-Beat-Anybody-Instructional-Inspirational/dp/006196977X

and 1-3 hours of material that he does live.

His last special on Netflix is more political so it's cool to see that he's willing to take risks and not just ride the same gimmick.

Nice! One of my old roommates is black and he bought me the book Stuff White People Like. Sometimes me and my friends will play a drinking game where we flip to a page and if we like the things listed we drink. That is a hard game to stay sober in

Eh, not really. If you're an audio book fan and looking for something to help with a car trip, it was a lot of fun to hear it in his voice. But it's definitely not his best book.

If you're looking to read Carlin, Brain Droppings is where it's at.

u/Rhombico · 2 pointsr/standupshots

my pleasure! Since I happened to have amazon open when I saw this, I went back and found the order for the one I got, here's a link. I think it was on sale when I bought it though, or maybe I had a gift card? Anyway, there were cheaper options; I wanted the heaviest one I could get, on account of being a giant.

I do get a lot of daylight towards the end of the day in that space. The office window faces west, beautiful view of the mountains too.. the sun would really illuminate the exact accent wall.

I have this painting to put on that wall as well:

There's ways around all alarm systems and doors. If they want in they'll get in. And there's tons of safes that are mounted under desks, on head boards, or easy and quick to grab places that you can open very quickly with finger print activation or a quick access code.
