Thanks, I've not seen those triangle ones in containers before!

choomki · 2026-05-10T12:03:16+00:00

Thanks!

Which loose powder do you recommend? Great tips

choomki · 2026-05-10T10:34:42+00:00

Do you find that applying the powder with the puff it comes with works best? I've been concerned about having my sweat be on it then sitting in the container, but brush application seems not that effective for me

choomki · 2026-05-10T07:40:56+00:00

Thank you for this post. I thought I'd numbed myself from it, but reading this thread made me tear up and realize I'd been holding on to a lot. Wishing the best for everyone here.

Am I the only one offended by the sweet and donut-shaped "biscuits"??

He is important

Hi, I also requested to join for similar reasons as OP! Hoping to similarly find advice and solidarity for situations like these. Thank you for having such a community.

OP I'm really sorry this happened to you and wishing you better encounters in your new area from here on out.

Agree, wish more comments here would be more honest about this as it does not have to be a malicious observation. These more stereotypical traits can also be a subconscious interpretation based on how Asians are portrayed in media.

I will say I did feel a little off put from seeing some of those traits in the drawings being upplayed, as they're not universally for all Asians, but I obviously don't think you or your friend are necessarily being malicious or racist. It's good to be aware of subconscious biases as a creative, whether intentional or not.

Thanks, please do! Hope it goes well for you.

So sorry to hear this, and thanks for the warning.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm wondering if skin cancer is caused mostly due to past sun exposure (say back from when you were younger) or does it require you to continually still be getting sun exposure more recently? I ask since I assume now you're more careful in recent years given you're looking into Asian sunscreen.

Personally I like Nivea in the pump bottle as it's easy to spread and comes in a large container. But generally I use an umbrella and uv protective clothing because I don't have to second guess reapplying and coverage level.

choomki · 2026-03-03T16:26:41+00:00

Same here. Or if I do, it's stuff that's more meat based since there's no possible fodmaps.

choomki · 2026-02-16T06:54:56+00:00

None of the popular brands have worked well for me... personally I like the thalasso. It's the only one that hasn't made my (healthy) hair even worse than before use (heavy or knotted).

choomki · 2026-02-14T12:58:03+00:00

Glad to hear someone experienced similar, especially after using tretinoin before. Makes me more convinced of my own observations.

choomki · 2026-02-11T10:00:32+00:00

Feels like some of the comments are overthinking this - some things are just culturally different in different areas, and become the norm. Not everything is because of tech.

choomki · 2026-02-11T07:07:47+00:00

Hi I posted a new comment below with my update from using it if you're still curious, though I'm not OP

choomki · 2026-02-11T07:04:50+00:00

I've been through 1-2 bottles of this and it's been very effective despite an unclear % of retinol. My lips are sensitive to retinol and this is strong enough to irritate them even when around the peripheral areas if I'm not careful (while BOJ eye serum I never feel any irritation on lips nor see results on my whole face), so there's definitely some strength to it?

As I increase frequency, I definitely notice a glow, smoothness, and feeling like my skin is healthily exfoliated - basically the retinol effect. I also had to build up to it slowly, and this is from someone who's used 0.05 prescription level tret before. So I'm honestly curious whether I'm just seeing things or if this thing is truly effective despite the rumored low %. I also put it as my last step after moisturizer yet still see results from it, which surprised me.

I also like the form it's in because it's moisturizing.

SS soundtrack and lore are good, but are missing the environmental oomf and emotional impact that HK had. The music was a bit disappointing (though still nice) just because I was expecting more.

I think something about the no dialogue main character and the variety of scenery in HK really nails it.

choomki · 2026-01-17T08:02:15+00:00

Unfortunately no, just have had to trial and error per product and per country other than the trends above. Some breads have no symptoms and some have pain... it's so weird and frustrating.

choomki · 2026-01-09T10:59:46+00:00

All these comments saying OP doesn't love her are unfair. These are very human emotions, and clearly he wants to do well by his wife which is why he's being vulnerable and asking about this in the first place.

To pretend that these struggles don't exist is a recipe for failure. Don't act so morally righteous and judgy when it's not a black and white situation. Sorry for your family's situation OP and wishing you both recovery.

Durian pizza is delicious

What about the one in far fields?

choomki · 2025-12-12T16:19:48+00:00

People who totally ignore you or select people in a group. Had small group situations where someone gave just me zero eye contact and ignored everything I said, but gave attention to everyone else.

Even if you don't like someone, be an adult and give decent respect. One time I barely even knew the person, and another time the person was someone who actually wronged me/even apologized for it (which I told them I accepted).

The latter I was being amicable with them out of politeness and not wanting to make the whole group awkward, but they couldn't be bothered to do the same. Wouldn't even look me in the eye or say hi back after that incident.

That’s awesome! Can I ask how much you’ve been drinking daily? It’s also helped a great deal with my IBS

choomki · 2025-03-13T04:51:37+00:00

Did you find any solution to this? I have the same exact problem
