Was is Crimson Room or one of its follow-ups?

Thank you for the detailed response! I will see if I can find Bondi Sands sunscreen.

Even though my skin would be fine without tretinoin, I find that it is the only ingredient that makes a significant difference in an otherwise low-maintenance routine.

Good skincare tips, thanks! I heard positive things about Korean skincare products, particularly how they have lighter and less greasy sunscreens. Is there a non-cosmetic one that you can recommend?

For my routine, I wash my face with a cleanser and apply moisturizer in the morning and at night, both from La Roche-Posay toleriane line. At night I use tretinoin 0.025% gel in between cleansing and moisturizer.

I could start an occasional question or discussion on those subjects, although I wouldn’t be able to do it regularly. At the very least, I would be interested in commenting if anyone else decides to post! With a large enough user base, makeup and skincare could eventually become their own communities.

Oh, they almost never taste as good as they look on the packaging, haha. Nothing wrong with simple comforts once in a while. Sometimes I use those odd flavors as inspiration in my own cooking and baking or try to recreate the recipe.

I did a quick search online for caffeine-free energy drinks and saw a brand called Sparking Ice mentioned a few times as having variants without caffeine, as well as Monster Unleaded.

Even though I try to avoid processed snacks, the weird novelty flavors are what tempt me. I support innovation in food :D

Urine luck 💚

That’s a more positive answer than “handlebars”, so let’s assume “yes”.

Good take. Some things are not even worth engaging with and my life has been much calmer since that realization.

Going back to the shower thought, turning off your hearing aids during an argument is like a live version of putting someone on mute.

I feel your pain 🫂

Language learning is one thing that can be done when you only have your phone on you but want to be productive. Browsing Wikipedia can also lead you down some interesting rabbit holes where you end up learning something new. I’ll also use downtime to clean up my files and photos.

This must be one of those two wolves that we are always being told are inside us.

Whenever I am using the kitchen is the exact moment that everyone else decides they need something from it and try to shove past me.

I’ve also learned to let people form their own opinions on the food I made instead of preemptively telling them it didn’t come out as well as it could have. Unless it was my first time making something complex, they’ve always been satisfied :)

First, it’s not only you: making plans that accommodate everyone’s schedules and budgets can be tricky, especially if a lot of people are involved, so you might not be doing anything wrong. You can try letting them know what you want to do earlier in advance so that they know not to make plans for the day. People are more likely to respond to concrete dates, times, and locations instead of vague ones.

Also not all of your friends are going to share your hobbies and interests and that’s ok. Try inviting just the ones you know for sure enjoy the things you do, or joining clubs or activity groups for those things to potentially meet new people to do them with. The time with your other friends can be spent on things you know they want to participate in and can afford.

Appreciate the honesty about the AI disclaimer.

Nice to see some love for RevCo here. That whole album was great.

Metallic mini backpack.

Worth it. I love the color, it was on sale, and I hate carrying purses.

Heat pump.

Sometimes the alignment has to be very precise to get it in, and when it isn’t, it causes you to think you’ve used the wrong side/angle - especially when you aren’t looking at it directly.
