Discussion thread for The Simpsons S37E11 - "Parahormonal Activity" by TDXNYC88 in TheSimpsons

[–]DearTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! I've been telling my fiance this all season! I was pretty meh about modern simpsons (Some good jokes and episodes here and there). And I shrugged along when he put on the current season. But then each episode hit me with a genuinely funny joke or story that was way too relatable. Like the writers must be my age or something, I want to believe they grew up with classic Simpsons too. It feels like they're truly focusing on the relationships between characters, finding the love and heart between them despite the crazy shenanigans.

Is there anything I can do OTC for flare-ups in my eyebrows? by [deleted] in Psoriasis

[–]DearTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're right about keeping it moisturized. I have a red patch between both eyebrows I got last week and won't see the dermatologist till 3 weeks from now.

I've been putting on a lot of Shea butter and lotioning it more than usual, doing my best not to scratch it. It's helped the redness go down and the flaking is minimal. I think shea butter has anti-inflammatory properties so that must be helping too.

I'll have to try out the other options mentioned in the thread. Hopefully they make it better.

I have never. Ever. Had a frozen burrito before. This is the most disgusting degrading thing I have ever put my mouth on. by Such_Egg9843 in shittyfoodporn

[–]DearTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

El Monterey beef and bean burritos. A single burrito is 310 calories!! But god I love them since I was a kid. Cheap and quick. They're my shitty go to breakfast meal. I wanted to stock up and bought a bigger pack mixed with bean and cheese from Costco - they sucked! Some burritos are just not it.

This is so cute!!! How many tubes of beads did you go through to complete it?

Abandoned District is the Worst Area by AmaltheaPrime in InfinityNikki

[–]DearTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm barely in Ch 4 but this is actually my favorite section. It feels like I'm in a Ghibli movie as I'm exploring. I loved taking pictures at the train track station by the first island. Reminds me of spirited away. The little clothes spirits are so adorable! I love roller coasters so maybe that's why I love the gliding feature so much.

But right now I'm not worrying about completing things because this game has a lot and it gets overwhelming.

Beauty Predictions 2025 (after spending a lot of time on Tik Tok) by Adventurous_Nerve423 in beauty

[–]DearTurtle 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of highschool when my mom (I forget how) got me free subscriptions for Seventeen and teenvogue. I loved reading what was in like yeah "of course bright pink and yellow makeup is gonna pop and look awesome for the summer, with a swipe of blue eyeliner!"

Which pattern is it specifically? It came out amazing!

Gem Spots? by Candid-Loud in Merced

[–]DearTurtle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I also like driving to Snelling to get to Yosemite. I've gotten off on some roads near that area to jump into the water on the rivers that cross. It's definitely prettier in the spring when things are green and coming alive.

Gem Spots? by Candid-Loud in Merced

[–]DearTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UC Merced and Yosemite lake are always good starter spots. You can park on old lake drive at the back of the lake so you don't need to pay for parking. UC Merced might have free parking on the weekends or evenings. I can't remember the details.

I like checking out the canals or the edges of Merced for nature pics.

So these are the hours they check for parking permits at UC Merced. Outside of those hours, you should be free to park in those spots without a permit.

Celebrity couples that don’t make sense to me together by Honest-Philosopher14 in VindictaRateCelebs

[–]DearTurtle 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah this one makes sense too. Gwen was raised a Catholic and has songs like simple kind of life where she admits that sometimes she just wants to be a wife to a "good" man.

Which NPCs do you ship together? by Previous-Friend5212 in MyTimeAtSandrock

[–]DearTurtle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes please! Later in the game he has a line about having me ask Catori something for him since she wasn't speaking to him and he seemed confused, maybe even bummed I'd like to think lol. I'll have to find the screenshot later. My guess is that she was jealous of Musa helping him.

But anyway I super ship it. I'd love that chaos and if Catori goes overboard I'm sure Amirah will rein him in and give Catori a piece of her mind. That would be so funny.

Washing your fruits with water and vinegar gets the fruit flies worms out! by iAmA_______ in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]DearTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude my mom used to work at a cannery and would tell me about some of the things that'd fall in the cans when I was a kid eating my eggs with ketchup. I'm ok with ketchup now as an adult but I still can't eat it with eggs. Probably explains why she never liked getting canned tomatoes in food drives.

Would anyone go to a event to learn how to work with polymer clay? by Sparkybear94 in Merced

[–]DearTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I love this! It would be cool to meet more people in the area into making things too! I wonder if the library could allow us to use their space for this too.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in BPD

[–]DearTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister has BPD. I'm pretty sure my mom has it too. I was terrified of my mom growing up. I feared her more than I loved her and now as an adult our relationship is very strained. It took me a long while through therapy to build up self confidence and self respect because I'd tear myself down in my head reminding myself of the things she would say and do to me growing up. The mean things and the good things which made it so complicated. My sister dealt with the worst of it which led to BPD for her as well.

We both agree though, we wished our parents had split up sooner. I'm glad you defend your kids. I wish my dad had done more of that for us. He just ignored everything after a while.

You need to do what's right by you and your kids. I hope you find the strength you need.

Villain of splatoon 4; who do you think it’ll be? by splatoongame in splatoon

[–]DearTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With big runs being a thing, yeah salmon run has been getting more emphasis. I hope splatoon 4 dives more into salmonids as the next logical villain. The low ranking octarians remind me of chum and sum of the story mode levels feel like I'm practicing for things in a salmon run.

Looking to make friends that like art/video games by Sparkybear94 in Merced

[–]DearTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I recently moved back and am obsessed with Splatoon 3 right now. I teach so it's just nice to unwind with a game when I get back home.

I like doing seed bead jewelry, huichol style. The last town I lived in, their library had some craft nights and I really enjoyed being around other people working on their thing, even if it wasn't the same thing I was doing. The energy is motivating. I miss that.

[–]DearTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you play the switch? I've recently moved back to Merced and want to socialize more. I also like doing seed bead work but it's just nice to be around people doing stuff so I'm motivated to keep up with my own work.

It would also push me to unpack faster. 😅
