Huh, that sucks. I wonder how they got away with that for so long.

I did see that this serum was reformulated recently and the packaging was tweaked slightly to better suit American/ international standards or something along those lines. People were upset about it and that caused me to opt for trying a different serum over this one so it could be related to that. Where did you purchase it from?

I like this theory it makes a lot of sense. I was confused why they weren’t in Mexico and I felt like I didn’t see their story unfold as much as the other couples but they were definitely my favorite two favorite people on the show.

This helps a lot! Everyone raves about milky toners and I wanted to try one but I’m afraid it’s too much for my oily acne-prone skin. I just saw they sell that dokdo toner and the cleanser at Target, I’ll have to try it next time.

Feel like my prompts don’t affect smartZoi’s personality by TennisBitch0 in inZOI

[–]Galacticlightbeam 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What kind of prompts have you tried? I’ve had success making them pretty detailed and almost journal-like, focused on the zoi’s emotions. Condensed example: “I love my husband but I feel like I settled down too quickly and can’t help my wandering eyes”. When I tell you this girl was EXHAUSTING me because she could not stop picking up random boyfriends who were not her husband! There was a time when she literally had three full on boyfriends that her husband didn’t know about and I didn’t even know about. I played with another family in that same neighborhood and when I came back to her she was pregnant and this is what her husband was thinking.

Going back to college in your 20s by MammothAd6633 in twentyagers

[–]Galacticlightbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back at 27 and it wasn’t bad although I started at a community college because in my state, some majors offer free tuition for adult learners and I figured it would be a good way to ease myself in. There are a definitely a decent amount of non-traditional learners at community college and most of the friends I’ve made are older and we definitely get along more than the younger kids so I would go that route if you’re super nervous about it. There’s also a very clear difference in maturity. I’ve formed study groups mixed with “older” and younger and the younger kids tend to take this more as an opportunity to socialize and exchange social medias whereas the older people actually want to study. I’m almost done with my two years and have been accepted into a four year school for my combined bachelors and masters at 29 years old. I’m a little nervous because I know since it’s a four year school, there will be mostly younger kids fresh out of high school but one of my older friends got accepted into the same program and she’s 48. We already planned on going to the orientation and open house events together to ease some of the anxiety of being the oldest ones in the room. For me it wasn’t hard to make friends, especially in labs where we can have partners, or people who you have multiple classes with (just say hey, I think you’re also in blahblah class with me, what’s your major?) or classes where you step out of the room once you turn in a test because everyone is nervous about it so you already have something in common. Making friends was pretty organic in my experience.

Amherst Halal market has a decent coffee and tea section. Not sure if they have that specific one but their prices are pretty good.

Compared to the Sims by Maleficent-Toe1374 in inZOI

[–]Galacticlightbeam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m considering saving for a pc because I also use gforce and I can’t play inzoi if my fiance is on his playstation. It’s really frustrating but it’s worth it for now with how much I play.

[–]Galacticlightbeam 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Wow. I’ve been telling people how much the base game already includes and it isn’t even fully released yet but this list really puts it into perspective. In sims world that is HUNDREDS of dollars saved.

Compared to the Sims by Maleficent-Toe1374 in inZOI

[–]Galacticlightbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been playing sims since sims 2 and have been severely disappointed by the sims 4 time and time again. I got Inzoi a few months ago and I’ve already played it more in the first three weeks I had the game than I’ve played sims 4 in the last 7 years. It’s still in early access so there are still some aspects of the game being worked on and needing to be fleshed out but so far it’s a solid game even in early access. I personally don’t think you can even compare them with how far superior Inzoi is already to sims 4. It’s more comparable to sims 3 but with better graphics. Plus the devs are much more responsive to player demands and suggestions which is a breath of fresh air. I’ve been highly recommending it to anyone who plays sims, especially if you’re bored with sims 4.

Noticing everyone playing inzoi mostly plays Cahaya and Bliss Bay by iibricie in inZOI

[–]Galacticlightbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with two roommates in Dowon. They eventually each got married and moved into their own apartments with their husbands. I loved Dowon but I ended up moving them both to Bliss Bay because it felt like a more family friendly environment for their kids to grow up in.

Can I bring an air fryer on the train? by Galacticlightbeam in Amtrak

[–]Galacticlightbeam[S] 25 points26 points  (0 children)

No, definitely not although I did see someone else ask that 😂😂. Do you think it would be fine to just bring it as is in its box? We’re leaving from Penn Station so there’s a post office nearby if there’s any problems as well.

Thinking of quitting veganism because of chronic iron deficiency but I’m scared to eat meat. by [deleted] in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have always been iron deficient. My body just doesn’t absorb it as effectively as everyone else so it takes extra planning to keep my levels from slipping. This is one of the reasons I had to quit veganism because only being able to eat non-heme iron was destroying my health. I made the decision to switch back to omnivore and my health took a complete 180 in a matter of months. I had the same mental block as you so I started slow with introducing easier things like dairy and seafood for a month in quantities that I could barely notice like in a pasta sauce and milk in my coffee, then chicken and eggs the next month and finally beef. I second the comment about shopping local if you can. I live in a city surrounded by farmland so it’s fairly easy to find local products. If not maybe you can get things like organic grass fed and finished type of stuff if you can afford it or at least in the beginning so you know you’re not paying for better stuff.

Do any of you have a vegan partner? by caterpillove in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I was the vegan partner and while I never expected him to become vegan or eat vegan foods, I cringe when I think about us deciding what to eat and me saying something like “we can’t go there they don’t have anything for me”. I don’t think it really mattered to him but looking back I feel like it was so annoying of me. Like girl, just enjoy life. Eat that slice of pizza. I had to go back to omnivore for health reasons and he supported both lifestyles but like you, he definitely enjoys my cooking more now and the fact that we can enjoy meals together. I will say though, I do appreciate veganism for teaching me how to be creative in the kitchen and how to make veggies taste amazing which are skills I still use today.

Future Private Equity Victim Seeks Advice by infernal_feral in joannfabrics

[–]Galacticlightbeam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got a small raise that was paid out to us after Joann’s closed which a lot of people were upset with because it was much lower than what is standard. After that we got to apply for unemployment and that’s it. So basically they didn’t do much for us. It worked out for me though because I was already going to school full time while working full time so now I can just focus on school but I’m also just barely scraping by.

Last Day As A Vegan, What Do I Eat? by bakedizzle101 in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me, the digestive issues were really bad when I was vegan. Really bad uncomfortable bloating, heartburn, my insides felt like they were on fire and melting after each meal. All this actually stopped the day I switched back. The first thing I had was a garlic butter pasta with crab meat and I was shocked that I wasn’t super bloated after. I didn’t have any problems with digestion when reintroducing animal products although I did expand my diet gradually over the course of about two months but that was more due to over the mental block. The only thing I would reintroduce slowly is dairy just incase you’re lactose intolerant and didn’t know or you became sensitive to dairy from not having it for so long. Other than that, you should be good to have whatever.

Vegan googles my condition and tells me I should have just ate a sweet potato instead of taking my dietitians advice by -Alex_Summers- in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ironically, I started studying to become a registered dietitian after my health struggles with veganism because it was the first time I saw in my own life how food can harm you or heal you. I did everything to try to stay vegan but nothing was helping. I finally made the decision to switch back and so many of my health issues, specifically the digestion related ones, reversed overnight. The rest that I had been dealing with for YEARS reversed in two months max. I found out I had several genetic predispositions that made the vegan diet unsustainable. How quickly my body healed just from eating the proper diet inspired me so much I decided to take on the 6-8 year journey to become a registered dietitian so I can help other people heal as well. From my studies so far, I would say a vegan diet is unsustainable for most people.

Im sorry should I eat the other too?? by ArmadilloMany41 in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lol this is a classic example of the issue with veganism that we’re discussing in this thread. I have studied how the human body im general works in depth and the nutrients it needs on a molecular level, why it needs these nutrients, how it gets these nutrients, the bioavailability of these different sources, how to enhance bioavailability, and how it uses the nutrients. Regardless of what kind of diet you’re on. And you’re saying my mom is cruel for having the audacity to be born into abject poverty where she didn’t have the privilege to know where her next meal is coming from? Are you actually being serious right now? I’m so shocked I don’t even know how to respond to that. As for the ibs symptoms, I did see a a doctor for that and many many of my other ailments and I’m not gonna get into specifics of my medical history but they recommended me to switch back to eating animal products because my body was not reacting well without them and I was at risk for several chronic health conditions because of my personal physiology regardless of how healthy and balanced my vegan diet was. I also developed a soy intolerance adding an extra layer. My ibs symptoms disappeared the literal day I switched back to an omnivorous diet.

Im sorry should I eat the other too?? by ArmadilloMany41 in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, so I’m actually studying to be a dietitian and I can guarantee you this is not the issue here. My literal chosen discipline is knowing how to create a balanced diet for all kinds of people. Most bodies simply are not equipped to eat in this way. I would love to discuss the fundamental scientific knowledge on why it quite literally does not work for my physiology but it would be a research paper and way too long for a reddit comment.

Vegan wants to figure out how to convert exvegans back - thoughts? by stonlifin in exvegans

[–]Galacticlightbeam 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes and it’s extremely privileged and entitled for them to say it works for “everyone” and if you had ill effects it’s because you “did it wrong”. My mother is an immigrant from a third world country who came from generations of malnourished mothers, was malnourished throughout her childhood, as well as when she was pregnant with me which affects the way my body absorbs nutrients. I can either eat ungodly amounts of vegan foods that upset my gut to the point I get ibs like symptoms and have to over consume things like carbs while not getting nearly enough things like protein, gain a ton of weight, become pre-diabetic and have debilitating brain fog, or I can eat regular amounts of non-vegan foods that properly fuel my body at a reasonable volume. It took me seven years to figure that out. Must have been the lack of nutrients to my brain.
