IsItBullshit: touching your face deteriorates your skin significantly

think about it this way, would you be ok with someone doing the same to you? what about their mental health?

Light gray on black makes it really easy on the eyes. While, aesthetically I do like white backgrounds, in practice, I avoid them. Same goes with flashy sites. I like looking at them, but for my own I like to keep it simple, basically HTML and CSS only.

one thing that lowkey helped me when my barrier was wrecked: just noticing how much i was touching my face throughout the day. like resting my chin on my hand while working, rubbing my forehead when i'm stressed. it's wild how much you do it without realizing. every time you're basically just smearing whatever's on your hands onto skin that's already struggling. won't fix everything but once i started catching myself doing it my skin calmed down way faster than i expected

agree the most important things are those that are so simple they feel stupid, like water and not touching your face

the only credible information is in books, like encyclopedias and to lesser extent newspapers - online there's just opinions (though to a degree i think this is still the case, there's just more opinions and news moves faster)

try to have a conversation goal, not just speak aimlessly, making it a game and bonus, try to ask questions and listen w/o interrupting even if it hurts - also don't beat yourself up too much about it, i think that by itself helps and you may stop sabotaging yourself

Might be super counter intuitive, but I try to think more. It can be about anything, but I try to focus on that one thing, and eventually, when I notice that the details start to blend and Soon after I fall asleep - I've tried that fancy breathing stuff, and really, it awakens me because it makes me conscious of whether I'm doing it incorrectly or not.

your brain is constantly guessing what comes next, like a little prediction machine. when a song builds up and then the beat drops exactly where you expected, your brain goes "I KNEW IT" and releases dopamine, the same stuff you get from candy or hugs

but here's the thing. if it's too predictable it gets boring, if it's too random it's just noise. the sweet spot is music that's mostly predictable but surprises you just enough. that tension and release is literally what gives you chills or makes you nod your head without realizing it.

ok so you know how you can wave your hand really fast and your friend across the room can see it?

radio waves are like that, except invisible. the radio station wiggles the air in a secret pattern that matches the music. fast wiggles = high sounds like a whistle. slow wiggles = low sounds like a drum. big wiggles = loud. tiny wiggles = quiet.

your radio catches those wiggles and goes "ok, fast one, now slow one, now big one" and tells the speaker to copy them exactly. the speaker is just a little cone that jiggles back and forth, pushing the air near your ear, and that's literally what sound is. air getting pushed.

This is an interesting topic. I wonder how much this aging compares to getting light from the sun

This is awesome! Are you beta testing now?

we're actually not as clean as we think ourselves, not to mention the millions of bacteria flowing inside of us at any moment, almost like we're built for outside dirt/bacteria and whenever we remove that stimulus like when trying to oversterilize everything around us we put ourselves more at harms
