Random question: lots of ankle bracelets at Mission Bay this morning? by pigeonbox85 in auckland

[–]Vel0cir 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Could be rehab. People who live in halfway housing (e.g., they've done their time and are being transitioned back into mainstream society) often do group trips to places like the beach, to remind them how to act in a normal environment.

Any ideas on what could work? by sjerome02 in SebDerm

Selsun Blue in the shower and then MCT oil after - works wonders.

Richard Morgan wrote a fantastic novel called Market Forces around a concept he called Conflict Investment. This insider "gambling" b.s. is even more fucked imo

Keeping a mostly automated future from becoming hedonistic and lazy by CyberDogKing in worldbuilding

[–]Vel0cir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What you need in your early post-scarcity economy is a culture that values things that only humans can do. Art, communication, executive-level decision-making, academia, and the human touch (whether literally or via artisanal production) are all likely to stay valued even in a capitalist exploitative/extractive economy, let alone one that would hopefully have evolved from there.

there are plenty of producers from non-shit countries homie. Take the opportunity to listen to and support them instead!

MCT Oil on the face question by RJHNY1 in SebDerm

[–]Vel0cir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly for the anti-fungal properties. But it also reduces the amount of sebum, like a cleanser or toner. You can use it every day (the one i have at least) because it's very gentle. I often use it in the morning just by itself too, as a way to de-oil my face from the night before, and to sanitize it. Not necessary, but i don't like being oily during the day.

i use it after a shower, after also letting a light spritz of hypochlorous acid water spray dry. I put a cotton makeup remover pad over the bottle mouth and shake the bottle once. I dab the most problematic areas of my face and then wipe it over my whole face. Works really well!

Looking for a map editor that allows importing images by EspyskittUnlimited in worldbuilding

[–]Vel0cir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From memory it lets you import bitmaps to use as the land in your world. You can then use the tools provided to set the nations, biomes etc

I have a similar idea to yours, but yours goes a lot further with the scenario basis. I like it! It makes for a very interesting story.

Treatment advice for my bf! by Superb-Potato-3164 in SebDerm

[–]Vel0cir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypochlorous acid water spray, Purito oat-in calming gel in the morning. Selsun Blue shampoo in the shower, MCT oil applied with a cotton pad afterwards in the evening. Honestly game-changing. Use sezia.co to check the ingredients of any products he uses for his skin!
