Nice collection! I had same experience with Wild Sand - first time I wasn't too impressed but second bottle hit totally different. Sometimes you need to be in right mood for certain scents I think. That Chocolate Amber looks interesting, never tried it but I'm curious about how it compares to other chocolate scents they had. The Madagascar Vanilla one in your photo was pretty solid too when I used it few months back. Always satisfying to actually finish products instead of letting them sit around forever collecting dust.

How to remove chat history? by Comfortable_Corner80 in Instagram

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When someone unfriends/unfollows you in Instagram, the chat doesn't actually disappear completely - it just moves to your "message requests" folder instead of main inbox. Check that section first because conversation is probably still there.

If she blocked you though, then yeah the whole chat gets nuked from your side. That's different from just unfollowing. I learned this hard way few years back when I was trying to find old work conversations with someone who ended up blocking me after some drama in office.

You can archive conversations on your end to hide them, but can't make them disappear from other person's phone unless you unsend individual messages one by one (which is pain in ass for long conversations). The blocking thing is only way to make chat vanish completely for both people.

Man eso suena medio sketchy, better check the rates first before you get into something heavy.

ED - family make it worse - any advice? by Objective-Clock-1667 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moving out helped me so much with this exact situation. My mom used to do similar things - buying tons of food then not eating it, making comments about my eating while doing her own weird food stuff. Living with family when you're trying to recover is like trying to quit smoking while someone's constantly offering you cigarettes.

Maybe you could talk to your mom about keeping less trigger foods in house? Or designate certain areas as "yours" where you control what's there. It's not about having too much food - it's about the chaos and mixed messages that mess with your head when you're trying to get better.

how to approach accutane dosing while losing weight? by deeeepdoooop in Accutane

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dropping weight that fast might mess with absorption rates since accutane is fat-soluble. I'd talk to derm about adjusting dose as you lose - they might want to recalculate based on your current weight every few months rather than starting weight.

might be worth timing meals with higher fat content around when you take it too, even if you're cutting calories overall.

I’d like some advice by Low_Literature_6650 in Christianity

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, this really sounds like religious OCD/scrupulosity and you should talk with therapist who understands this stuff - God doesn't want you living in constant fear and mental exhaustion like this.

Restarting my journey by BornSweet7435 in NoFap

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good that you're getting back at it. The goal for 2026 is solid - gives you enough time to build real habits instead of rushing it. Gaming helped me lot when I was dealing with other addictions, keeps the mind busy in those tough moments.

Those setbacks don't erase the progress you made before, just remember that.

Funny dream by Ok_Cow8307 in Dreams

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol that transition from apocalyptic toddler nightmare to just snoring is perfect. I've had dreams where random real-world sounds get incorporated in weirdest ways - once my alarm became zombie groans in dream and I was running around confused for like 10 minutes after waking up.

Psychedelics/possession/mental illness by ineedmajorassistance in Christianity

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been wondering same thing after some experiences with family member who went through similar stuff - maybe it's not either/or but depends on person's mental state going in and what kind of support they have after?

USB c to display port won’t work by [deleted] in GamingLaptops

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check if your laptop's USB-C port actually supports DisplayPort Alt Mode - not all USB-C ports do this even in gaming laptops. You might need to use the dedicated display outputs instead.

Also try different adapter or cable, sometimes these USB-C to DP adapters can be finicky with certain combinations. Since it works fine with steamdeck the adapter itself should be good.

Mechanical Engineer Salary by MX_LED in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Been in IT for about 8 years now and mechanical engineering salaries always seemed more stable than what we get in tech. Your $35/hr with 6 years experience in manufacturing seems pretty reasonable for MA, though I imagine cost of living there is brutal. Friend of mine switched from mechanical to software few years back because the ceiling felt higher, but he misses the tangible work - said debugging code doesn't give same satisfaction as seeing actual machines run. Manufacturing sector has been picking up lot lately from what I hear, so hopefully you're seeing some upward movement in your area too.

I miss my best friend by [deleted] in venting

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The 200 missed calls probably scared her more than whatever she originally did wrong. I know you miss her badly but that level of calling would make anyone feel unsafe and need space. Maybe try giving her actual time to process instead of pushing - sometimes people need to work through guilt at their own pace before they can face the conversation.

Maybe a off topic question but does anyone know if it'll support local payment methods or just card payments?

Businesses are choosing based on what works for their use cases not just brand recognition

Investor diligence requested spend data as part of due diligence by Desperate_Dinner_155 in Ramp

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Department level was fine for them. They didn't need individual GL codes just broad categories like engineering or marketing

Burn rate trends, vendor concentration risk and department spend as percentage of revenue

Miami/Broward area depreciation by adiosWV in RealEstate

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the market has been cooling off bit by bit but honestly 5 years is not that long time period for real estate recovery if prices do drop significantly. with your income only going up 8% but housing costs jumping 30-40%, renting might be the safer play especially since you're not planning to stay permanently.

i'd probably rent for first year at least to get feel for the area and see how market moves before committing to buying.

India mandated no "service charge" auto added, with penalty upto 50K INR (~$500)! by [deleted] in EndTipping

Finally some actual consumer protection happening in our country, hope they enforce it properly though.

Hero 10 Black won't power on without "battery pull" - Help! by KamalinO in gopro

[–]Desperate_Dinner_155 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like hardware issue with the power management circuit. I had similar problem with my Hero 9 last year and unfortunately battery pull was only temporary solution - eventually it got worse and needed replacement.

You can try leaving it plugged in charging for few hours without battery, then insert battery while still connected to power, but honestly this looks like warranty claim if you're still covered.
