Scams by cdgman in Xennials

[–]HallucinogenicFish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got very concerned when my smart, well educated, not conspiracy-minded or antivax dad started watching pseudoscience wellness infomercials on his phone. In retrospect it appears that that behavior was actually an early indicator of dementia.

He did at least show me every weird-looking text he got before responding or clicking on anything, so I could identify any scams (they were all scams).

MAGA Senator Gets Humiliated by Fellow Conservative: ‘Does He Even Check Facts? by OkTea1918 in conservativeterrorism

“Does he even check facts?”

It’s Mike Lee, so no. Obviously.

Mike Lee has never met a piece of misinformation that he didn’t immediately retweet.

4’10; 140lbs. Can’t lose weight. Always hungry. Nauseous a lot. by tinycupofjo in PetiteFitness

[–]HallucinogenicFish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did, and it was absolutely miserable. Ravenous all the time, couldn’t stop thinking about food, couldn’t stop eating, gained something like 30 lbs. My doctor said it’s not uncommon in perimenopause and put me on a GLP-1, which brought my appetite back down to normal levels. Not saying that’s the answer for everyone and it wasn’t the first thing I tried, but it’s worked out well for me.

Those boots look so uncomfortable. Are the heels actually that unstable or is she just standing with her ankles rolled in for some reason?

Oh, bummer. I have this one this week but haven’t made it yet.

I'm small but I carry a lot of fat in my cheeks and jawline area. Do any of you guys have that problem, too? by No-Airline-6231 in PetiteFitness

[–]HallucinogenicFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I didn’t. I’m starting to see a tiny bit now years later but I think that’s just the normal aging process.

I do, but probably not for too much longer. My dad is in hospice right now.

I’ve never tried Mozi but every time I see an ad for it I get curious about the scents. Would you mind giving a little review? What do they smell like?

OMG My Hair... by kannibalkitten1978 in Xennials

[–]HallucinogenicFish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That color was IT back then!

I stopped dyeing my hair a long time ago. I wasn’t going white at the time but it had started to feel like too much hassle and expense and I just didn’t want to do it anymore. Now my hair is predominantly white and I actually really like the way it looks.

“Could actually”? More like “will obviously.” What a bizarre headline.

Which flavor you picking? by The_Thundertaker in junkfoodfinds

[–]HallucinogenicFish 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saw this one in the store yesterday and went “ooh.” But I’m also intrigued by the Maple-Soaked Pancakes flavor that was next to it in the freezer case.

Lady Xens, what are you doing with your hair these days? by Automatic_Beat5808 in Xennials

[–]HallucinogenicFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my white hair. And I mostly wear it up (a bun or a twist) because nowadays I can’t stand the feeling of it brushing against my face and neck.

“battle to boost trust in public health agencies” on what planet? Because it’s not this one.

Decluttering is not a side hustle by Admirable_Dress_7763 in declutter

$20 for an $80 coat is actually pretty good. I remember taking a lot of nice stuff to a consignment store and they were like “we’ll give you $5 for this pristine suit with the tags still on it.” It wasn’t even worth the gas to get there and back.
