I got on TikTok and I see that I’m logged out and get a msg “account suspended, it will be permanently deleted on 6/12/26” so I try logging in and it says the reason is they suspect I’m under 13 (I am well above 18 mind u) so they do some facial recognition and it doesn’t work. Tried 3 more times till it said “multiple attempts try again later” tried again later and it worked and got my account back.

System notif said I’m permanently banned from violating community guidelines… I haven’t said or done anything but whatever I got my account back. I realize that they wiped my username and pfp so I had to redo all that and then I realize I can only watch videos. I can’t like, dm, or comment on anything. They never said when this would be lifted. Pretty pissed off rn.

My question is has this happened to anyone else and if so what ended up happening? I don’t wanna get back on the app and my account is completely gone.

I am 23 years old and love piercings. Although, my parents (gen x) are very weird about piercings (and ironically not tattoos… except face/neck). I had 2 lobe piercings before going off to college. When I got to college, I got my nostril done. They weren’t very pleased with it but got over it soon enough. I also got my belly button pierced at the same time and they gave me so much shit about it that anytime I talked to them they had something to say ab that piercing so I took it out. December my Christmas gift was a tragus piercing which I was surprised they let me get.

Fast forward to now I decided to get my belly button pierced again. I told them last night I was getting it done this week and they were so mad at me, saying it was a stupid decision, it’s trashy, etc etc. I told them I’m getting it anyway and they’re like “whatever do what you want cause you’re obviously gonna do it regardless of what I say” so I got it done today they don’t know but they will at the end of the week. Kinda nervous ab their reaction but u can’t even see it unless I’m wearing a bathing suit or crop top, not like I’m wearing that to work.

Just wondering why this specific age group is so weird about piercings? I see lots of people my age with far more piercings than me (including facial piercings). If I were hiring someone for a position and they had piercings all over their face, it personally wouldn’t affect me. I also don’t see people as “less than” if they got piercings (or tattoos) all over them.

I had recurring BV from October 2025-February 2026 and felt hopeless that it was never going away. Medications alone would not work for me. This isn’t super high maintenance either… not a lot I needed to buy for this to go away for good. I’ve been BV free for about 3 months now so I think it’s safe to post this lol.

First, you need antibiotics. I thought the metro gel was more effective (and less side effects) but everyone is different. Took a 7 day course as prescribed.

During my antibiotic course, I started a lactobacillus probiotic (I use uro, found them at target) And continue to take them after treatment daily.

I switched to an unscented soap (dove) and I don’t shave there as often as I used to but when I do, I use a separate razor just for that area and use the unscented soap as a “shaving cream”

Increased my water intake significantly.

This was a last resort but boric acid. I will use them the day after my period ends (my ph is still slightly elevated after so this helps it not elevate further). I only take them for 1-2 nights but I don’t have any problems after.

I’m just glad I figured it out because I was getting BV every 2 weeks post treatment. One time it came back 3 days after treatment and I wanted to cry. This is what is helping me thus far.

For context, I work at this mall. Majority of the time I bring my lunch but sometimes I’ll forget it or not pack that day. I noticed this mall has very little food options. They got 2 auntie Anne’s, 1 sandwich shop, Starbucks, cava, chopt, and the rest are expensive sit down restaurants. I know some of y’all would say to leave and find lunch elsewhere but I don’t wanna leave and go thru all the Hillsboro pike traffic lol.

I used to love auntie Anne’s as a kid. I don’t know what happened but their food sucks now. majority of the time they only got pretzel nuggets out. Nope

Sandwich shop costs $20-$25 dollars for a sandwich, chips, and water. Mediocre at best.

Starbucks, well yk Starbucks, snacky food but their drinks are decent.

Cava sucks. Went there once during my break and waited in line for 25 mins for some slop. $20 dollars and 3 bites later I threw it out.

Never been to chopt but I don’t want a salad. Let me know if they sell anything besides salads.

Just my opinion tbh. I wish there was more of a food court in that mall… maybe it’s just not busy enough for one bc it’s a ghost town on the weekdays. I will just remember to bring my lunch every time.

I know many people love fast food breakfast but I am one of the few who don’t. Sometimes before work (which I get in before 11) I want to stop and get some food. Thing is at that time breakfast is only available. I just want a burger and fries at 8:30am, not some egg sandwich. Usually I’ll get 2 chicken biscuits from McDonald’s and take the biscuit off and just eat the chicken. Sometimes I just go to sonic or Taco Bell bc they have all day lunch but wish other restaurants closer to me did the same lol. I know this is silly but I know there has to be someone out there that agrees with me.

Edit: I’ve worked fast food before and I’m aware of the grill/fryer changes they gotta do transitioning from breakfast to lunch… this is just solely an opinion of mine lol
