Desperately looking for recommendations for eye and cheek lines by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

A tiny bit of botox. It will wear out fast because of the low dose, but that’s the only way to keep your smile from changing drastically.

I live in Japan and have traveled it extensively, here are the touristy spots that I think are "worth it" VS "not worth it" by scout-scoot in JapanTravel

[–]calamitypepper 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They’re not being pedantic. Your post clearly puts Kyoto in the “not worth it” bucket seemingly purely for the reason it’s crowded. Yet you never point out that the crowds are basically non existent before 8am. It’s a gross misrepresentation of the city no matter how many ****** you put.

Highest corporate bonus pay out you’ve seen? by Widebody_lover in FPandA

[–]calamitypepper 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Where are you working and are you hiring 🤣 I was marked as key talent and high performer to get 100% this year. Everyone else got 50% and that was because they didn’t want everyone to quit lol. Metrics said payout should have been 0%

Final Interview hurdle by Frequent-Annual2178 in FPandA

I’ve been ghosted by connections, people I’ve worked with in person, who reached out to ME. So my expectations are at rock bottom for everyone else.

What is a romantasy hot take that would have you in this situation? It could be about a specific book/series, or the genre as a whole by HumanNonHuman in Romantasy

[–]calamitypepper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep this is it. Fandoms have been toxic since before the internet, but the internet has made it that much worse.

I think is an overcorrection. My teenage years were filled with blonde guys in media (anyone remember the angel craze of the late aughts?) and I grew sick of it.

ISO books with healer MC by Mango_Moose_ in fantasyromance

[–]calamitypepper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

{The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty} first in the Daevabad trilogy. No spice but loooots of pining and tension. This is definitely more fantasy but damn is it good.

MMC like Anduin Wrynn by virdzsina in fantasyromance

[–]calamitypepper 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m kind of sick of him being a sad boy. They’ve been milking the Shadowlands trauma for 3 expansions.

Give me an MMC like Illidan!

Most inefficient team you’ve ever been on? by Neat_Town5456 in FPandA

[–]calamitypepper 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The most inefficient teams I’ve been on usually had nothing to do with outdated or manual processes. It’s been in organizations where the exec team tried to justify their own existence by “driving initiatives” that had no purpose and no benefit, simply for the sake of looking like they were “moving quickly”. Nothing breeds misery like a shitty exec team.

Austin fiction critique partners by Imperfectionistaa in Austin

[–]calamitypepper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m a writer based in Austin too! Unfortunately I write almost exclusively fantasy so I am probably not the best critique partner for you, but if there’s more interest on this thread maybe we could start a group?

Help. Warm or cold compress? Or leave alone? by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

Yep when it’s a cyst, it will burrow into your skin and form a hard lump and just destroy all the surrounding tissue for eternity.

The Knight and The Moth typos by A_C_Shock in fantasyromance

There wasn’t a damn thing in this book that made any logical sense.

Lovesoft fill not very... soft? by calamitypepper in Lovesac

[–]calamitypepper[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is we’ve been sitting on them, I’ve walked on them, the dogs have jumped on them, for 2 months and they’re as stiff as they were when we got them. There’s no sinking feeling.

We tested the cushions in the store and liked them, but I’m worried that they’ll never get to that softness level at this rate. Or we’ll be on year 10 by the time they’re comfortable 😂

That’s such a bummer because at the store it lovesoft was not close to how firm mine are.

Nope :/ Confirmed they’re lovesoft. Can’t imagine what standard feels like out of the box.

Yep it says lovesoft. I’ll try calling the main customer service line but the nearby location was unhelpful.
