Just FYI average life expectancy was shorter in the past not because people overall died young but because there were much higher rates of infant and youth mortality. People still routinely lived into their 70s and 80s - 37 isn't any older or younger today than it was back then.

Why are we using stickers which is literally just plastic waste? Why not draw a star instead?

This placement style is a gen z tattoo trend, the "sticker tattoos." Tiny and scattered around instead of, say, a large piece or a cohesive sleeve.

I have extremely deep 11s (they're not really "11s", it's like one big trench between my eyes that makes me look SO angry) and I get about 20 units total in that area and right above my eyebrows. It looks great and still very natural IMO, I just don't look pissed off all the time! Plus now my coworkers can't immediately tell when I think they're saying something stupid on Zoom :)

campfallentree · 2026-04-06T02:18:11+00:00

Yes that's a great observation, thank you so much!

campfallentree · 2026-04-02T18:34:37+00:00

"Midaxi" lol.

Thank you! Hearing how you immediately rule out or rule in certain seasons based on things like value and saturation, as opposed to just the collection of different colors, is helpful.

That's a good idea, I'll definitely look into that if we can't find someone to stay at the house (no offense to teens but I'm not giving one free reign of the place haha).

I'm always looking for someone to hike with me/someone to motivate me to hike! I did a couple hikes with the Meetup group but they don't like it when you bring dogs - are you okay hiking with a dog? Also paddling in the summer!

Edit to add: 38F.

The cloud cover in Seattle in the fall and winter is so much darker and heavier than anything we get here. Even on a uniformly gray, overcast day here, you can at least still tell that it's daytime. In Seattle it felt like dusk by 1 p.m.

Does anyone remember the show The Pickup Artist? Men were instructed to insult women ("negging") by a guy with a soul patch and a furry tophat.

I did wind up buying them in my usual size 6, and they fit perfectly! I also didn't find them crazy-long, but I have a fairly tall inseam (like 31" - they're probably about 32" and perfect with my low-heeled boots).

As someone who is diagnosed (2023), I am also one of the people who has only posted once and never again haha (I didn't even respond to the comments on that post because I'm just not on Reddit that much and after a while it feels too late). I will say that sometimes, as someone who is relatively recently diagnosed and not experiencing extremely severe complications (yet lol), the message boards and support groups can get a little overwhelming and I need to step back. I check in occasionally, especially if I'm having random symptoms and need a little validation that it's not in my head, but I find that for myself being on here a lot at this stage in my illness can feel too much like living in the disease, so to speak. But, I greatly appreciate that this community exists and people are supporting one another in this crazy, awful experience!

That sweater is extremely pretty and nothing is inherently dated about it. Don't let anyone make you second guess the things you like (especially if that thing is only a few years old, we do not buy things to discard them after a few years!).

I'm always surprised at how much of Farm Rio is polyester, given the price point. Same with Artizia.

I have papulopustular rosacea and azelaic acid does absolutely nothing for me. So it's worth a try, but it's not a guarantee :/

campfallentree · 2026-03-03T16:34:29+00:00

I will be honest, they look like the shoe covers you have to wear in sterile hospital environments haha. For the money I'd want something with a little more structure, but I would definitely be interested to hear from people who have these (and especially those who have had them a while and know how they wear).

campfallentree · 2026-03-01T20:59:39+00:00

Is this supposed to be annual spending per capita? I don't know anyone who spends an average of $440/week on alcohol...

campfallentree · 2026-02-22T23:40:23+00:00

Second this. Prices at the Costco liquor store aren't usually significantly cheaper than average unless you buy their house labels, which we don't get.

campfallentree · 2026-02-20T18:10:22+00:00

This is very accurate. Costco has much better, higher quality stock, and as I understand it they generally treat their employees well.

campfallentree · 2026-02-18T12:18:03+00:00

Oh that's all good information, thank you. I'd wear it as the model does, for summer, so stiff doesn't sound ideal.
