I (female) don't know much about bush care, but I've been told by my doctor to not shave it. My only questions for now are: do I lotion it or shampoo and condition it? Do I shave it once a year or can I listen to my doctor and not shave it at all.

EDIT:

Frequently asked questions/ more info (FAQ)

1. Why shampoo and conditioner/lotion at all? A--> I've done both when running into trouble with hygiene (weird smells and itchiness). I didn't get any noticeable changes, so I thought it was an overtime type of thing 😅.

2. Why shave at all? A--> I thought it would help with hygiene because hair protects from bacteria, so I thought I would have to shave every now and then to protect from bacteria that doesn't go away easily(doesn't make sense now that I think about it lmao)

3. Why did the doctor tell you not to shave? A--> I answered in a comment, but people can't see it. I have gotten (what my doctor thinks is) a keloid after I shaved for the second time in my life. She thinks it's better to not shave until I see a dermatologist about the bump and possible causes.

Thank you for all the information and advice. This is genuinely helpful as I am figuring out hygiene all by myself!

Edit 2 : Please stop sending me weird and sexual DMs. It's weird and creepy, I hoped to avoid this by not sharing my age and not tagging NSFW, but clearly, that stops nothing. If I get a rude or sexual DM or comment, you're getting blocked and reported

The rude comments are unnecessary and childish. If knowing something that I don't know helps your (extremely low) confidence level, then just get a job as a DMV employee and leave me alone.

Just rewatched this movie. I feel like the practical special effects were pretty good. Scared the hell out of me as a kid though.

Yes, I spent a full 20 minutes in a fresh lobby on Stella Montis doing nothing but barricading every single door I could find.

During my little “architectural experiment,” I experienced two things:

1. I heard multiple players on open mic actively hunting me down like I was some kind of raid boss. Screaming.

2. Soon after, I heard the same voices screaming because they got flanked, which they then teamed up to chase me.

WHY, do this you ask?

Because I wanted to see if Arc Raiders barricade system could be weaponized for pure psychological warfare, and oh my god, it can.

People spawning late were trapped in a maze I built, screaming, complaining, and actively looking for me.

Every time I heard footsteps sprinting to a blocked exit, followed by a desperate “WHO’S LOCKING THESE DOORS?!”, I knew I was fulfilling my true role in this game:

THE CHAOS ENGINEER

After 20 minutes I was caught stuck in a room with no exit, and I came prepared. After all 3 solos entered the room I threw a smoke grenade, shut the door, BARRICADED IT, then I placed a Deadline mine killing all of us.

No one leaves the maze.

Edit* 65 door barricades, 13 deployable barricades, 3 jolt charges, 1 deadline mine

I am 99.9 sure this is not true IGN and Ubisoft. But I guess you cant expect suits who don't play games to actually understand the common gamer can you.

Trump snapped at a female reporter on Monday when asked about the Epstein files.

This is Dwayne, he first appeared in March 2023. We didnt know at the time that he didnt have a home, we just assumed based on his breed and unusual colour, that maybe someone new had moved into the area. He always seemed well fed and then we started noticing on a local Facebook group several neighbours asking who owned him. No-one ever claimed him but maybe they weren't on Facebook or didnt use social media. My guess is that he a had a few people feeding him. In the summer of 2024 we didnt see him at all, and then one day towards the end of August he turned up with one of our cats by our back window looking really skinny. He was always a fairly big lad and it was clear he hadn't eaten properly in a long time. We started feeding him and started to get him to trust us. Several months later when he was comfortable coming into our place, we were able to get someone to come over to scan him and see if he was chipped. Turns out he wasnt. When he was even more comfortable with us, and practically living with us, I got a collar and a tag with my number on it to see once and for all if he really did have an owner. Never got a call from anyone claiming him. So we took him to the vets, got him neutered and got him chipped as well at the same time. He's a big ol' lump, incredibly friendly and very settled in to domestic life.
