Thinking about abruptly quitting my job as a food and beverage manager.
Anyone else ever have an employer that just does not fucking pay on time?

Don't abruptly quit, but you know it's time to move on to something more steady
Keep the job, get something better, and still keep the job as a backup.

One thing I like about getting older is that your BS detector gets better and better.
News articles that I once would've thought were "fair and unbiased" are riddled with emotional trigger words and seemingly intentional omissions of facts in favor of others.

Trying to decide if I should finally shave or grow a Dumbledore beard. It's got to the point now I'm chewing on my moustache, I'm having to check the mirror I've not got food stuck in it, and having to spend time drying it off after a shower.
It's nice and soft but looks a mess. I don't know how to trim it. The moustache is quite annoying so maybe just try to give that a little trim.

Sounds like too much trouble. I hated going to get my hair cut/shaved so started doing it myself. if I need to go get someone to cut my beard then forget it. I'll shave the fucking thing right off. I hate shaving so that's why I leave it so long. When I shave I look like a thumb. I can't grow my head hair so my beard is the only thing I have going for me.

I'll have a look. Like I said the only thing that is bothering me is the fucking moustache munching and worrying I look a mess/unclean to people. I guess I'm at the stage where I just look like I haven't shaved for weeks and have been dragged through a bush. I should give it a little trim and push on to the "I'm actually trying to grow a beard" stage.

Shaved my head down with clippers (no guard) a couple of days ago. It was years in the making and I finally did it. Feelings are mixed - I do feel liberated from the shackles of having to try to fool everyone into thinking I still had a full head of hair and it generally looks OK, but I'm SO much balder than I even thought. I bought a head shaver to get it down even closer to make it less obvious. I just know most everyone is going to hate it and be confused as to why I did it, but I know it had to be done.
Here's hoping I'll get more used to it in time and learn to love it fully.

I tried fooling myself and everyone else for a while but it comes a point you realise you're really not fooling anyone. Embrace the shaved head! Going bald was fucking awful but now I don't give a shit. Nothing I can do about it so why get so stressed out over it?

If you like it and have the patience to maintain it, sure, but it sounds kinda unsanitary. Yuck...

It's nice, soft, and fluffy I'll have you know. I even bought some shampoo/conditioner and I can't remember the last time I used either because i'm bald as fuck. I'm treating my beard with care but it does need a little trim. All I'm saying is I need to make a decision or whether I want to shave it off or grow it.
Bruh. No offence. But that's what happens when you have a long beard/mustache. I have long hair to keep nice. My beard is at it's shortest in years.

Yeah man, it was years of Toppik, a comb forward and a ton of hairspray to create this illusion of a full head of hair. It was all so embarrassing - the beach, pool, rainy or windy day? Forget it. It got to the point where I had to make sure girls didn't get too close to it either, definitely no touching. I feel like my looks took a hit, but so be it if it means getting back to a more normal life. I'll still be embarrassed a bit, but in a far more acceptable way. I just wish I was more honest with myself and everyone else years ago.
...and on the topic, losing my beard would be just as tragic as losing my hair at this point. I love it so much, and especially can't imagine the bald head combo without it. I'm letting it get a little longer and bushy and am not even minding the sprinkle of grays coming in now that I'm in my early 40's.

That's just something you have go through if you want some particular model/shape. It sucks but yeah.
And PLEASE watch some YouTube vids before hand. You should use the trimmer from up to down after combing it till its without "knots". You can create a whole different face/skull structure/longer and or rounder overall head shape with a beard.
I went from this (was much longer prior)
I'll wait until the white hairs are more in balance before growing it out again.
And hey. In 20 years I won't give a fuck so no haste.
Also, you can trim your stache right now. It's more about the rest that needs to grow. And i get it you don't want the bum look.
Therefore watch some instructional vids to keep it long but tidy.

I really like his beard. Then again it's all black and his facial structure matches.

I just want a beard long enough that I can tie it up

Ehh not that comfortable.
I feel a lot of posters see it as "look at me!" and think I'm a narcissist fucknut. But that's pure projection from my part.
Thruth is I don't care. I mostly delete them afterwards anyways.
And I'm not comfortable being described as looking awesome or cool.
I have a inferiority complex regarding my meat suit since I can't remember.
So such comments are ego boosting and thus simultaneously proof I still resort to external positive feedback to feel good.
Which is something I've been working on for quite a while.
Let me see...
Haven't watched but the thumbnail looks good imo.

I didn't mean it in that way. I'm sure I've explained it to you before but I am terrified of putting any photos of myself online so to see someone posting pictures makes me wish I could be that confident.
I'll watch that video

My tag is accidentally ironic. Take that for what you will. Took me a third of my life to be confident (sometimes) but i don't give a shit.
I'll delete them soon enough.
Yeah browse around. See what resonates.

When I record my songs, I usually try to be somewhat mindful of getting a good sound during the performance stage, as good as can be done with my limited skill set (translation: desire to take the time to learn, understand and execute, maybe?) as an engineer. But I also tend to not focus on that much or at all when trying to record a song that has especially strong meaning for me. And so, the mixing stage is where most of the hard work comes in for me, cleaning up noise, tweaking what I consider to be poor EQ, compression, etc.
I wonder if that is kinda the process with God. We were a deeply meaningful inspiration, and He/She's is now at (or nearing) the clean-up stage of the process.

I mean, butter is an ingredient sometimes used for excellent chocolate ganaches , so I could imagine the combination working together.

I've clipped it down to a #2. I'll let it grow out again and try trimming it again to see if i get better results but if not then I think I might just keep trimming it to #2 or even #3 if i have that for my shaver.
I'll see if I can find it.Import the real deal
edit: amazon has some but it's only dark chocolate?? i don't like dark chocolate
