Like all places like this, you'll need to reserve it in advance and sign a bunch of waivers. But the whole process was like 10 minutes at most

It costs about $100 flat, you'll have to stay in a cold room, your face will smell like a pungent burger in the middle of it, and you can't shave or do anything excessively hot for two days after

I hope what was removed was dark enough to be affected. They gave me some cream after to help heal

Facial hair's been zapped. I can't say if it's working yet, but it wasn't as painful as i expected. The technician was super sweet and i hope to come back when i can

when i was a kid i had the classic β€œuncle works at nintendoβ€œ friend. he told all kinds of tales but the claim that really stuck with me was that he and his family got to go to a special pikmin event where they dressed up as pikmin and a guy picked them up and threw them

Two figures are debating at either shoulder of what appears to be a skeletal figure. One is a mycelium spirit in prayer; the other, who seems more pressing in the conversation, is a shrouded being. The skull of the central figure is also a portal with ectoplasm and fire surrounding. The darkness of the skeleton face is patterned with city windows and the clothing worn by the figure has inverted lightning. The eye of the storm seen in another painting β€œghost storm” is now an untangled viscera surrounding the neck of the central subject.

I think I finally realized what bothers me even about the framing of Iran in discourse. 

People frame IR’s tyranny and US/Israel’s imperialist aggression as a choice to be made. Even the β€œgood” leftists say β€œwe reject both choices”. But these aren’t choices, they’re realities.

Endless discourse can happen about which choice is better, how there is no other choice and so it’s silly to reject both, or how people supporting one choice deny the violence implied in the other. I have been part of this discourse myself.

But it’s all fucking stupid because we are not talking about abstract possibilities. We live in the middle of the realization of both of these β€œoptions” as a reality.

In the background, a female, red-silhouetted elf with red eyes faces left; a male, blue-silhouetted human faces right. Center, a full-coor skeletal cerberus with bat wings rampant, its skull faces and red pixel eyes focused on you. Below, the words "A fierce battle with Dark Dragon ensued" appears in florid script.
