I'm sorry that people were being rude to you for asking an actual question. I think they forget that users are from all different parts of the world and might not use the same products.

It's for filing down fingernails and toenails instead of cutting them. Most people use disposable files, but metal ones last much longer.

"Buy once, cry once." How much would you spend on another X years of cheap ones?

Some individuals feel it's safe to take a stand and refuse direct orders, and others do not. I have never been in that soldier's shoes and I'm guessing you haven't, either, so I can't know what consequences he would've faced.

If you're a member of US military forces and your commanding officer tells you to do something, you can definitely catch a court martial. Folks have been shot by firing squad for dereliction of duty, let alone having the livelihood that's supporting their family taken away.

"I vas just following orders" wasn't valid for full-on N_zi atrocities, but there's a spectrum.

I hadn't heard a lot about the actual case until I listened to a two hour deep dive podcast. He was absolutely unfairly accused and it was awful to waste his talent and his health.

Generally speaking, I try not to ascribe genders to gender-neutral things (being transmasculine). But "guyliner" is just such a fun little expression to put on cis dudes.

That's a solid strategy.

Not your fault and not your grandfather's fault, but our government's use of weaponry against its own people was horrifying.

There is plenty of evidence that he was totally innocent of the charges. He looks "creepy" because he's wearing white pancake stage makeup with heavy eyeliner around light eyes.

It's stage makeup for early cameras. Calm down.

Instead of speculating wildly, look it up. ;) He could only direct, and under a pseudonym. After the false accusations (supported by the lies of a totally unreliable, likely bribed witness), his name was box office poison. He died from the stress.

(Copying my comment from another thread)

Guyliner. It's dark/black eye makeup around light eyes in sunlight, which is creating a weird effect. In silent films of this era, it was VERY common to still employ "heavy stage makeup" techniques because the camera/film quality was so low that features and facial expressions were in serious danger of getting lost.

Check out Rudy Valentino's heavy guyliner (for example, "The Shiek," 1921) as an example.

Groucho Marx wore literal greasepaint as a mustache-- granted, it was partly for comic effect, but it's an example of heavy stage makeup making its way into the movies.

I take a great probiotic and eat yogurt, but that still isn't enough of a help. My poor hoo-ha situation is so upset!

I hope your ear is better. We are so lucky to have treatments that can save our lives and our hearing. Most of history didn't have it, and the post-antibiotic era won't, either.

Excellent question. I try to avoid antibiotics as much as I can, but got strep a month ago and had to go on clavamox. The happy flora that usually make my reproductive area peaceful are still rebuilding their population.

I AGREE THAT OUR FELLOW HUMANS ARE TELLING GOOD JOKES.
