And to be fair, not all of those are equally bad. Seamus Finnagan and Anthony Goldstein could very well be real people. The other two are so much worse, especially now that you've made me realise the slavery connection.

Right, sorry, I kinda assumed the US had good tap water (except that one town), so people there would fill their bottles at sinks, too

Btw I've always wondered. What's up with those fountain things? Do Americans not carry water bottles?

Meh, having tried high sex before, I honestly prefer low sex.

Especially since no seat on the plane will be as roomy as the one in the waiting area.

With TVs, which have had a smart version for a longer time than appliances, the dumb, spyware-less versions have actually become somewhat more expensive. Nothing stopping other devices from going the same way.

Like, indefinitely? That's hard to imagine!

You can pronounce any word any way you like, full stop. But pronouncing them the way most people do just makes for more effective communication.

Put bluntly, those who live off labour aren't the enemy. Those who live off property (aka others' labour) are.

Please reread my common. I said in my region, western austria, we use the formal you less than the rest of the German speaking world does.

Hair darkens with age in most people, no?

 

And what language and region is it?

I've noticed my language teacher uses the informal you in one language and the formal one in the other.

 
 

I can sew and darn, and knit from scratch, but I've never re-knit a hole before.

 

I'm so bored of just watching shows, but I'm kind of out of ideas of what else to do when I'm tired (usually about half the day, sometimes al day). I don't even have any one super debilitating disease, but I have like a dozen small things going on that kind of rule everything out.

Hand-to-elbow tendonitis keeps me from what I used to enjoy that doesn't require a lot brain power (drawing, gaming and sewing). I know tendonitis is supposed to resolve more or less on its own, but it's been five years and I have no reason to believe it'll go away at this point.

Socializing drains me, I have to do it in small doses.

I used to run, but I have arthritis iny knees now. I swim for exercise, but that's not relaxing at all, because the pool is sensorily overstimulating. I'm actually only supposed to do low intensity exercising for cardiovascular reasons. But I put up with it because of how much it benefits my mental health.

I also have endocrine orbitopathy, and reading often makes me too aware of the pain in my eyes. I tried audiobooks, but I have ADHD and can't keep attention at all when I'm just listening to something.

I love to hike, but I'm kinda scared to get back into it because I need to be close to a bathroom, and that's kinda putting me off.

So, what do you do to unwind? For fun? Not even necessarily looking for advice, I'd just love a chat with people who have similar struggles.

 

In case you were wondering how media in different countries assess the US' situation, one of Austria's most read newspaper did a cover story on the Kirk assassination, describing it as the US edging closer to civil war. Apologies that it's in German, I've translated the title at least.

 

I realise there's zero posts in this com but figured I'd try. Wanted to censor their handle, but it's the cherry on top of the comment.

 
 

Routine for reference:

AM: rinse, sunscreen (that online moisturisers enough) PM: cleanse, sometimes BHA (tried varying the frequency), retinol, moisturise

I've become frustrated because I still get clogged pores, every single pore on and beside my nose is black, my entire chin is white gooey pores. So I eased off and put the BHA and retinol on hiatus, and the painful cystic pimples came back, along with even more clogged pores. I really need them gone to keep me from picking at my skin.

So, anyone else been there?

Anyone got any tips? Yes, I wash my pillowcases, sleep enough, drink enough (if anything too much) water, eat well.

 

I have no idea how I fucked up and had this compressed so much, it's OC and still ended up this blurry

 

Hey fellow enbies!

Does anyone here have experience with binders? Specifically, do they permanently alter the shape of your chest? I like my naked body and view is as gender neutral, but I'd like to be READ as more neutral while wearing clothes sometimes. So I want to bind in a way that won't alter how my naked body looks. What's your experience with that?

Thanks!

 

I used to be super lazy and not take anything. Just lived with the tight feeling of my face after washing it with shower soap. The only cosmetics I'd take were always deodorant, tooth paste, tooth brush, shower soap. Hair was washed with the shower soap, too.

These days I take proper face wash, my moisturiser, sun screen (I've never gotten a sun burn, so I used to not be diligent about this), floss, and, if it's more than like 3-4 days, shampoo.

If it's for a fancy event like a wedding, I'll bring conditioner and the small number of makeup products I'm going to wear (eyeliner and/or lipstick. I don't do base and have black lashes and eyebrows).

The only cosmetics i usually use that I'm not bringing: (sometimes) conditioner, retinol serum, BHA peel, the clay I use for clay masks and cuticle oil. I use hand cream, but only when I teach, because the chalk dries my out like nobody's business. So I keep the cream at work. I do keep the cuticle oil, retinol and bha at my partner's place because I sometimes stay there for two weeks or longer, remote working.

I think it'll be a different story when I go backpacking!

How about you? What do you bring? What things that you usually use do you not bring?

ETA: actually going away for four days right now, somehow I packed my cuticle oil but forgot my floss! I guess I'm not consistent haha.

 

Hi there! I've tried researching this myself, but found myself overwhelmed because I'm simply not knowledgable enough.

I've got a 20 year old 50cc vespa. I got this idea in my head that I should convert it to electric, since getting a new vehicle has such a huge environmental impact. The battery is on its last legs, and I'm not so sure about the engine either, and I was thinking I'd convert instead of replacing the existing parts. I'd like to keep it at a similar power bc that way, people who don't have a motorcycle license could legally drive it, too. (If they have a car license.)

Has anyone done anything like this or has some other pointers?

TIA!
