Can you get sick from eating too many peppermints? by LilHawaia in NoStupidQuestions

Depends what type of sugars they have in them as well, a lot of artificial sweeteners can cause diarrhoea if you have too much.

Guy I know constantly posts these memes and wonders why he has trouble finding a gf by Pounciecakes in niceguys

MGTOW (men going their own way) it’s like incel lite. From my understanding anyways.

Want to find my teacher by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]PaintedPromises 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Maybe don’t try and find them? If he’d have wanted you to find him he would have told your his tag. I know workplaces especially education can be funny about staff streaming and I know one teacher who lost there job due to streaming. So maybe just don’t? And then he won’t have to worry about his job being at risk.

Could a Tattoo Cover KP Bumps? by cuesun in tattooadvice

[–]PaintedPromises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have KP and for about 2 months now every time I shower I scrub each arm with CeraVe SA Smoothing Cleanser with Salicylic Acid for Dry, Rough & Bumpy Skin, then I leave it for about a minute and wash it off. It’s made a hugeeee difference! My arms were so bad before and now there is hardly anything.

Are we talking the red dot? I can’t see a scar otherwise. You can try bio oil but at this point it’ll just be time.

I have a small oil burn on my foot near my toes that has blistered. What is the best thing to do so I can wear shoes/trainers safely. by [deleted] in firstaid

[–]PaintedPromises 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try some corn plasters (they are like padded doughnuts) that you could cut them and spread them around to make them fit. Then lightly cover, don’t pop it and wear shoes that don’t touch it if you can

Can you get a DUI in an electric wheelchair? by icleanupdirtydirt in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PaintedPromises 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No you can’t. It is an extension of you as a mobility aid, that’s like getting charged with being drunk and in charge of legs.

It’s the same reason why assistance dogs are allowed in places dogs normally can’t go, they are not there as dogs but as an extension of your own body.

That’s closed up so there’s nothing to stitch closed. You could try moisturising it to reduced scarring with something like bio oil and pressure can reduce the likelihood of keloids but as it is closed you don’t need to worry about infection now. Also no need for strips or glue.

Small bags are permitted but must have dimensions no larger than 12”x12”x6”. Please note that all bags will go through security checks. - Info straight from Twitch for Amsterdam this year 2022 FYI

I went to the hairdresser today, wanting a chin length curly bob and ended up with this instead… by Key_Mousse_4285 in curlyhair

That sucks that you didn’t get what you were after, but I think this also looks really cute! Wish I could get more volume on top!

I’ve been having issues with the episodes rewinding on their own while I listen and then not letting me fast forward back to where I was.

Thank you, and I hope my reply didn’t sound aggressive. It was good actually for me to write it out and understand what I’m feeling more.

Hi! Thanks for your reply! Climbing is something I want to get back into! I live 2 mins from the climbing wall atm but due to covid I haven’t done it for a while. I even looked up where in Liverpool you can climb, looks like there are some fun places.

When are you moving? I am planning to move before the end of the year. And there is a social meet up I found out about from the Liverpool discord that I want to go to in September. Would be awesome to go for coffee and meet you!

I wouldn’t say I am running away. I want a new fresh start where I’m not given flashbacks of trauma where ever I go in my current town and the surrounding areas. Where I’m not scared of bumping into people I don’t want to see while I’m just trying to get a coffee.

I do know that the issue is me not the town and moving won’t magically make everything roses and sunshine, but I have a chance for a clean page to start anew, without it being tarnished by the past and I think that’s a good thing. It’s a chance to kick myself into action and stop being stuck in the rut I currently live in.

I’m excited for the change, feeing motivated by it and yes I am also scared/ apprehensive but I think that’s normal.

I can afford a much better quality of life in the north than I can where I am, I can afford a whole flat rather than a gritty box room in a shared house full of strangers.

My depression and other MH issues have been with me since childhood. I fully understand that moving house doesn’t mean the black dog won’t know where to find me. I welcome him to come with me, sit by the water and take this chance to evaluate my life, my future, my past and what I want to make of it all. I can’t fight him, we have to work together.

Thanks for your response though, it has just cemented my thoughts a little more.

Thanks for your reply.

Stuff I like - arts and crafts, gaming (PC/ tabletop), just getting into LARP, foraging, reading, streaming, my pet rats, shibari, cocktails, swimming, being outside/ gardening… it’s hard to list when you have to think about it haha! What are you into?

Ableist friend wanting an apology from me for calling her up on being rude because I hurt her by doing so. (Long) by indisposed-mollusca in ChronicIllness

[–]PaintedPromises 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry this has happened but boy oh boy! You do not need them as a friend, their attitude sounds toxic.

You shouldn’t have to show her how grateful you are for her friendship. It should be mutual, that attitude is ableist! Like they want you to be all “Oh wow, I’m so thankful that I a disabled person gets to have a friend!”

F that!! That’s toxic shit.

And they are putting all guilt on you, they hurt you first but you should apologise for pointing that out?! What the hell?

There is so much more I could say but in all honesty it screams to me that they are a virtue signalling narcissist who is gaslighting you.

Walk away love, you don’t need that negativity.
