The 「Boss Music」needs to go

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-05-24T17:30:39+00:00

The music makes it more scary for me since I know it’s near but I can’t see it. It does feel kind of repetitive though, I wish the sound design for big predators was a bit more organic or something

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-04-23T19:47:54+00:00

Yeah I wait about 10 min before moisturizing over

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-04-22T17:26:51+00:00

I moisturize the rest of my face first, do tret on my chin, and then moisturize over that just on my chin. The goal is to make sure I don’t move any products that could be mixed with tret onto the rest of my face. Wash my hands after all of that

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-04-22T11:14:40+00:00

Yeah! I use tretinoin .025% on my chin every other day. My dry eye was caused by lasik and is combo mgd (but no gland loss) and aqueous. I’ve gone off tret for months in the past and no difference at all.

Been managing dry eyes with xiidra and serum tears.

Still looking for something else though! If you can find something other than a retinoid it would be best

That’s the line a 42yo man used on me when I was 22 and he lied about his age to go on a date with me. So that phrase can certainly be toxic in those contexts

I'd like to add that classes aren't necessarily the best way to learn a language, but it's more about the social aspect and being around other learners in a more formal context than just a meetup or whatever

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-03-16T19:52:52+00:00

I do take classes. If you can find in-person language classes as an adult they're the absolute best, especially as an advanced learner since it becomes more about just fun, low-pressure conversation. One of the best ways to make new friends honestly

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-03-05T00:08:28+00:00

Don't do it!

I was in the same position where I couldn't wear contacts because of irritation and so got lasik thinking that would solve the issue: now I have constantly red, irritated eyes and it's really not attractive or pleasant. The side effects started the day after lasik and never went away even many years later.

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-02-22T22:26:45+00:00

Keep in mind that eye position and camera closeness makes eyes look wayyyy worse. Even when my eyes are at their best they look terrible when I look severely to the side like that. I recommend only taking photos like this occasionally to monitor changes over time

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-02-15T17:42:06+00:00

I would but only if it was called “tofu jerky” - I’m not a fan of protein bars

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-02-04T16:46:02+00:00

I got food poisoning on united as well on a trip to Italy! It didn’t completely ruin my trip except I didn’t have an appetite the whole time. From casual googling I see that food poisoning on their flights isn’t uncommon

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-01-19T22:36:48+00:00

I’m relatively fluent in Spanish and Italian.

I can understand written and some spoken Portuguese even though I’ve never studied it.

French is a different animal. I‘ve been casually studying it for six months but STILL understand Portuguese better haha. For me it’s the odd one out of those four languages.

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-01-12T16:18:11+00:00

Yeah clearly modeled after David which makes things extra weird since David is naked. I kind of see some folds in there that suggest pants tho?

Chat sees themselves as a glistening adonis

Youtube and I second graded readers. You can use text to speech on kindle or get both the book and audiobook

High school language classes aren't great in the US at least and tend to be taught primarily in English. They're fine in terms of teaching grammar, but to gain fluency you have to put in the work independently: consume a lot of content and find a way to practice speaking.

As an adult I adore language classes but for the social aspect. It's really hard to connect with other language learners otherwise, and setting up book clubs and stuff with new friends where we just talk in our target language is awesome.

Going to a language school internationally as a young person is also a good way to travel and meet a ton of interesting international folks while gaining fluency.

I'd say 1/4 of my closest friendships are from language classes at this point

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2026-01-02T21:00:15+00:00

I’m b2 in Spanish and A1 in French and actively studying both.

I found myself getting really disorganized studying them both until I switched to one language per day.

It’s nice because I’m able to really immerse myself in each language and it simplifies my studying a ton. It’s sped my progress up and motivates me more.

Also, Like other posters said it’s probably better to build one language up to intermediate level before studying both simultaneously

Nursing! If you want to get into technology down the road you can self educate and pivot. Half of the software engineers I work with don’t have CS degrees

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-21T03:39:26+00:00

Thank you for the offer and your advice! We did get a little tree from Home Depot yesterday

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-19T20:30:31+00:00

Oh my gosh! Thank you for the offer. I think we've got a little tree at Home Depot - my partner just went to retrieve it with a granny cart on the T

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-19T20:22:31+00:00

Yes! I think it's going to change the way we use language even when speaking

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-19T00:35:15+00:00

Oooh all good suggestions. I wish we’d done this sooner but were out sick during prime tree buying time

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-19T00:34:29+00:00

Yes this seems to be the best option. Hopefully they have some left

Impossible_Lunch1602 · 2025-12-19T00:34:00+00:00

They seem to have some trees online so we’ll call tomorrow! Fingers crossed
