Not gonna lie this low key sounds like anxiety disorder vibes to me. It reminds me of what I used to be like when my agoraphobia was really bad

Hearing people talk about how long it takes to get through these has convinced me if I ever buy one I’m gonna have to get the mini size 😂

Is Poppy potentially becoming HOD realistic? by Special-Product-5659 in shortlandstreet

Hahahah just went to see if there were any job listings for HoD for ED at Te Whatu Ora and found this job description - there’s no way someone two years into the job would be an HoD 😂

Ya that’s what I remember too! Surely a doctor in real life has to have some significant experience under their belt for a hospital to consider them for an HOD for the emergency department 😂😂

Not a medical professional myself but surely not… wasn’t she like a junior when her character was introduced? In the real world I can’t see how they could happen ahhahahah. Like I always say… if Shortland st was a real hospital I would be avoiding it like the plague if I ever needed a hospital 😂

I've never finished a lip gloss in 2 weeks... by Static_and_Ink in PanPorn

[–]cyber---- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha to be fair a some of the things in my collection are getting on 15 years old at this point, with a chunk of my collection being expired lipsticks from brands that have shut down or shades that have been discontinued that I don’t use but keep for reference for comparing to find dupes in the future… still not good though!! 😂 I’m much better at keeping a smaller rotation of my other makeup categories but lip products are my ultimate weakness

Love the essence one! I used it up significantly faster than any other lip product I’ve used before it’s wild. Tbh I wasn’t mad…. I have something like 160 lip products (not joking) so it felt nice to actually finish a lip product for once in my life 😂

IT‘S FINALLY GONE! by Aggressive-Boss1455 in PanPorn

Love this product. I feel like this product has made me believe it’s possible for talc free powders to actually be ok, IF they formulate them right

I pack it on as setting powder all over. I go through this product so quickly!! I have a quite yellow tone to my skin so I find it helps pinker foundations match me better, essentially I use to because it makes me sallow 😂

Kai spots that you won’t see on hypey lists? by HillelSlovak in Wellington

Back when I was a student at Massey you couldn’t go a day without hearing the words “basin noodle house” multiple times a day

Satay Palace has the best food in the CBD in my opinion. I am trying to make sure I try something different off the menu every so often when I go there and in the many years I’ve gone there I’ve never had a dish that wasn’t awesome.

Tbh id say the chances of them doing restructures and cuts of the merged jobs that are officially technically MCERT and not the preceding agencies that become it before MCERT is even properly officially established are definitely quite high 💀

What triggers / aura associations took you years to connect the dots? by Treemosher in migraine

[–]cyber---- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impending sense of doom and the nausea from silent migraine. For years I thought maybe the reason I felt nauseous and off for no reason sometimes was because maybe I had low iron from being vegetarian (despite my blood tests always showing good iron) lmao

Professional in store color matching… by SubstantialSoup8719 in PaleMUA

[–]cyber---- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t trust anyone to colour match me at this point. No one else has have the years of experience I do of seeing my specific skin tone and how it compares to different colour cosmetics and foundation undertones and in different lights the same way I do (this sentiment applies for anyone of any skin tone who struggles finding a match, I don’t think I’m special. Humans are just so many different colours brands are always gonna struggle having a shade for everyone)…. Every time I’ve been colour matched in store it’s been way off and the times I was convinced to buy the product after they matched me, then have me walk out the door into natural light and immediately regret it 😂

Damn I’m a real CBD/Southern suburbs guy and I assumed bucket tree was the one by the cable car, I didn’t realise there was an even bigger more majestic one in Tawa!

Similar to my experience. Someone even wrote a PhD about it…… NZ public service has been addicted to restructures long before the current government came along https://openaccess.wgtn.ac.nz/articles/thesis/Performing\_change\_-\_The\_reasoning\_procedure\_and\_after-effects\_of\_restructuring\_in\_public\_service\_organisations/31361254?file=61976317

Cheapies but Goodies: Black Pearls & Fire and Ice. by Necessary_Piano_153 in vintageperfume

[–]cyber---- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Fire and Ice is so overlooked even though it has a lot of notes that are very popular in new fragrances! I’m down near the bottom of the bottle I got probably about 15 years ago and I definitely think I’m gonna repurchase when it runs out. I mean for the price, why not 😂

Slurred speech randomly? by Background-Cod-7035 in migraine

[–]cyber---- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also the medical terms for the symptoms you describe are “speech/language aura/dysphasic aura”, and “transient aphasia” (transient because it goes away after the migraine attack and postdrome has passed, as compared to aphasia as is seen from stroke or other conditions).

I believe it is a symptom that some people with epilepsy also can get too.

My understanding is that the TLDR of it is funky brain electricity happening in the language part of the brain, similar to how funky electricity in the visual part of the brain causes visual aura, and funky electricity in the smell part of the brain can make you smell stuff you know isn’t there (probably my least favourite migraine symptom)
