  • This is likely one of those things that is highly dependent on both genetics and one’s own goals. I’m not sure that it’s entirely possible for anyone but yourself to answer that question. I’d advise approaching it from angles like “What issues do I have with my skin that I want to improve?”, “How do I want my skin to look?”, “How do I want my skin to feel?”, etc. Once you establish the fundamental problems that you want to solve, you can then try to find solutions and answers.

    At any rate, for reference, I personally moisturize twice daily: I moisturize my face in the morning, and then both my entire body and, again, my face at night. If you are curious about the details, I described my skincare routine here.


  • Do y’all actually read articles or just the headline?

    Both. I first read the headline (while taking it with an immense grain of salt due to, by my experience, the commonplace usage of clickbait/misleading headlines) to see if the article may interest me, then, if so, I read the article to either effectively fact-check the article’s own headline, or to actually get more detail on what the headline summarized ­— though, it certainly feels like it is more often than not the former. Sometimes, however, the headline, on it’s own, is enough, but that seems rare — logically, it is in a news company’s best interest to get people to read the article (if it is assumed that they get income from people reading the article’s content) so they would be incentivized to make the headline as provoking or nebulous as possible to maximize the probability that one will click on it.


    Its just crazy cabinet nominees every time. Wars happening. Nothing I can control.

    Personally, I believe that it’s, at the very least, important to be peripherally aware of what’s happening in the world, but one must be careful to recognize what they can and can’t control — what is worth fretting over and what isn’t. Inundating oneself with the knowledge of any number of horrible things that may have happened somewhere in the world in a given day is generally of no help to anyone and only serves to degrade one’s own mental state.


    Y’all actually read all this shit? How does anyone have the energy?

    The most tiring thing, personally, is fact checking. It is tiring to feel like the majority of my interactions with news articles that are shared are that of dealing with misleading claims and misdirected or misinformed reactions. It certainly feels like the majority offloads the scrutiny of data onto the minority.












  • I don’t think that this is the correct usage of this meme format given that Frank Grimes (in the case of the meme, I presume he’s representing the Democrat voters) was making a point that Homer (in the case of the meme, the "protest non-voters) is able to live a cushy and easy life despite, being lazy, constantly making stupid and careless mistakes, and being inconsiderate of others (in the case of the meme, that would be the “protest non-voters”, well, not voting and having a good life despite it). Frank goes crazy and ends up electrocuting himself, in the exact scene that the meme is showing, when he has a meltdown and starts impersonating homer, but the message that the meme is trying to convey, that the “protest non-voters” will “get what’s coming to them” doesn’t fit, as it shows the people that voted Democrat getting shafted, by the project 2025 logo being on the cables where Frank gets electrocuted, rather than the people that didn’t vote. The meme just twists the intended message around, imo.
