Somehow the funniest part is that this isn't anywhere near as painful as a bad period, and the pain doesn't last for days at a time either.

I'd upgrade the depression away from my brain and give myself the ability for hyperfocus at will and to turn off sensory issues. Taking the autism and ADHD away altogether would leave me a different human, idk that almost feels like dying a little bit, or being lobotomized. Wouldn't want to lose a part of my brain that makes me me. But super valid to want to be neurotypical!

Thinking about it, if it counts as an organ, idk if I wouldn't rather change my immune system to stop attacking healthy tissue and get better at attacking viruses instead. Tough choice.

I usually use micellar water and cotton or reusable pads for less plastic and more uses per package.

But isn't that French's mustard?

True! But then it'd make sense to draw another line between east Asia and the middle east

French

English

Naming them by the country of origin is almost equally odd to me. You literally mentioned Dijon, which is also French. So wtf is French mustard supposed to mean. There's probably dozens or hundreds of French mustards.

Not super believable tbh. Cans aren't some mysterious indestructible material.

If anything, it's the divide between Asia and Europe that's arbitrary.

You're an asshole. I'm not sorry for saying that.

Some countries have a less evil version of Amazon. Mine has shoepping.at, for example.

But also, there's very few things you actually NEED that you can't get anywhere but Amazon. My main strategy in avoiding Amazon is to just reduce my conspicuous consumption. Everything I need, I buy from brick and mortar shops: tech shop, grocery shop, textile retailer, sports shop. When I was living out of town, I'd order from the specific shops/chains website, so at least it was only them who had my address. Also, no account needed.

All of this, of course, depends on what country you live in and what your town/area has to offer. Except reducing consumption.

 

I held out hope and waited for her to grow into a teen but it only got worse! I did match them up because I find them both snobby but why does she literally LOOK punchably rich and arrogant?

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!

 

A red button. Image says: 'Would you press the button?' [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it's near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn't want them to.

 

I hope this is how cross posts work

 

I know, not all omnis. But this is based on personal experience.

 

Two part meme. Part one is a crying young person who looks like they're desperate to get someone to understand something. Caption: 'Me explaining why I can walk fast and run but can't stand or walk slowly well'. Part two is a super annoyed looking, slightly older person. Caption: 'people still assuming I'm lying out of laziness'.

 

I'm aware that I, the consumer, won't change the world and that we need structural change.

Still, I've been wondering. I've come to learn that plastic recycling is largely a myth/scam, but what about glass and metal recycling? Also, what happens to the plastic coating on metal during recycling?

TIA

I regret nothing. Say what you want.

Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.

For real. When I can get my skin to clear up, people guess my age accurately. When I have a breakout, I get carded for beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.

Looking young isn't the be all, end all imo. I prefer to look my age. As I get wiser and more experienced and know myself better, I develop white hairs and fine lines and I wouldn't have it any other way.
