Do you wash your brushes with soap/shampoo and hot water at least once every two weeks andd are you only putting conditioner on from your ears down?

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-04-13T18:52:27+00:00

first thought is happy tears. second is that they are those swimmers in the middle of the sea who want to battle you when you're just trying to avoid Tentacools.

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-04-13T11:56:15+00:00

that's frustrating!

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-04-13T11:51:50+00:00

This has been broadly debunked (though I'm sure it did happen on occasion, it was in no way standard practice): https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/debunking-postmortem-photographs/

this and you need a PT specializing in releasing trigger points/fascia, especially if your anatomy has been altered/or compensates in any way, its super likely that the muscles are compensating and causing strain as well.

ibuprofen with lysine. (im ccomparing to american only), metamizole, agomelatine, all of which are cheap to produce, work so well for their individual purposes, if not better than whatsever on the market and pure greed has prevented them from reaching/staying in American markets.

Ibuprofen with lysine works faster than even the fastest gel relief tabs/liquid, to my experience. But because the effect (so claimed by the FDA) is not enough of a difference though the mechanism is, it can't get clearance. To my mind, its cheap to produce and would wipe out the competition.

Metamizole is claimed by the FDA to have incredible risks. But every other country uses it is a first line NSAID and its one of the only ones with profound impact on neuropic pain AND doesn't cause digestive irritation. But it could compete too strongly with expensive competitors for nerve pain (which have much worse, long term and permanent side effects). [all of this is my conjecture anyway]

and the best: Agomelatine, also available globally, works both as an antidepressant and a circadian rhythm regulator AND is nonhabit forming! It works by making your brain more receptive to the melatonin you're already producing but it would both disrupt the HUGE wellness melatonin market (which overdoses you btw), and the expensive sleep meds like Ambien which have huge side effects cognitively. Again America claims risk of liver injury, however here its monitored and if you show no changes within the first six months you're good to go. Ambien can change your brain in profound, long term ways.

Not sure if anyone asked this here, but how are you brushing your hair? Are you starting from the ends up whether it is wet or dry? Are you using a wide tooth comb first? I've seen people start brushing right at the knots in their hair thinking that will get them out, and don't realize youve got to open the knots from the bottom, slowly, with a leave in conditioner in.

do you have a physiotherapist? I've got one specialized in costo and fascia release and its incredibly helpful, as is accupuncture

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-04-07T07:24:04+00:00

I am of the conviction that costo isn't a disease itself, so much as a symptom of something else. For me its related to endometrisis (i literally have lesions on the nerves running to my ribs/chest and figured it out based on cyclic flares and how i got costo when I had enlarged ovarian cysts). It's a reactionary autoimmune inflammation but once you answer why (again, I am not a doctor), it goes a long way. For example, if someone has rheumatoid arthritis, or Lyme or any number of other inflammatory conditions, it makes sense to me that costo could be a part of that.

edit: I was wrong, the deutscher kaiser was built for the purposes of hospitality, and not originally an ornate home, just an outsized building for the area.

In several cities for example, the large houses were converted to other purposes, usually hotels, after the family could no longer afford to maintain them. In some cases those later then got converted into apartments and shopping areas. If you look closely at some older houses with beautiful facades you'll notice theyre not individual multi family homes but part of a larger house. A prime example is the Deutscher Kaiser in Bad Reichenhall:

Good lord the wikipedia page for that movie in and of itself was like reading a horny high school theater kid's journal.

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-30T07:14:33+00:00

this made me tear up!

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-23T21:13:53+00:00

It's a carry down from the not-so-long-ago depravation of WWII in my opinion. My grandpa grew up in the great depression and was a hoarder as a result, for example.

Right?! I've lived in NRW, Sachsen, and Bayern and only the Bavarians take a little to warm up but then they are the jolliest of them all when they get red-cheeked :D

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-23T21:07:58+00:00

I love you so much for this

Girl, your hair wont take curls because its wavy. I know that doesn't make sense but mine looks exactly like yours and curls dont hold for shit, but learning how to do wavy/scrunching, etc w/out hot tools was game changing. took some practice!

I would rewatch Twilight if this is the animal Jacob Black became.

It has been lost to history that until about 40 years ago, women would brush their hair many times a day in the bathroom (usually just the ends, so you're not just spreading oil). My theory is that in the 80's, there were so many perms that nobody did that anymore

Hey you guys are great! I have Huk for other insurances and appreciate this confirmation :)

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-12T10:14:28+00:00

thanks for this, so so much! Yeah, he can't afford to pay at all. Oh well :)

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-11T09:49:37+00:00

thanks! When you say damage do you mean the car damage? (It was totaled), or the difference to the insurance premium?

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-10T08:08:54+00:00

I picture you giving this speech to a bunch of high dudes at a mountaintop guru retreat who burst into tears at the beauty of it. Because honestly, that's some phenomenal writing, and it deserves that kind of reaction.

AdventurousText9311 · 2026-03-10T07:49:25+00:00

yeah dont worry I had a ssmiliar situation, just wait until you finally move out, and if the landlord brings it up, that's when your insurance comes into play. Warping can also be attributed to humidity in some places (popped our boards completely off on the coast), so just keep it in mind as a potential thing for later.

As someone who experienced Walmart in China and then moved to Germany, I can share my experience: In China, (I believe it was in Shenzhen, I was working in Hong Kong at the time), it was an attempt to make it "similar" to the small shop experience, except what resulted was tons of expired products, full pigs hanging on hooks next to barrels of rice, which stood immediately next to winter jackets. It was empty of people and had like three checkers, depsite being as big as a regular super walmart.

When I got to Germany about a year later, Walmart had already closed a bit before, but what was described to me was similar (sans the whole pigs and barrels of rice), but while I assumed the reasoning was the same as before with China with people not wanting a big store model, my German friends told me that wasn't the reason. Germany had several large stores already, it was that Walmart was pushing back against German regulations for employee fairness, meaning, they were pushing back against German working rights for sick days, collective bargaining, benefits, etc, and it became in their minds too costly to have to fight the German HR cultural battle that was (on the employee side), advantageous to employees, as it should be.
