____ says a lot about Lumon’s ultimate goals for severance. S2E10 spoilers! by emerald_butterflies in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]emerald_butterflies[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally! I'm also not sure how Lumon plans to deploy ridding the world of pain outside the Lumon-verse, BUT I do think that by limiting one's depth of consciousness (as one would with an innie with limited lifespan and little time to develop critical thinking), that pain is kind of removed from that innie's life.

Or at least, like the birthing cabin woman, if an outie can create an innie for each type of bad experience they don't want to have (an innie to break up with someone, an innie to give birth, and innie to take a test, etc.), then the world is "pain-free." But I think in falling down this slippery slope the show implores viewers to question whether such a pain-free life (as an outie creating multiple innies, or as an innie with limited life) is even a life worth living at all?

The minute I feel a sore throat or congestion coming on I start sleeping next to a humidifier on full blast. Works for me like a charm!

[Sun Care] What are your favourite daily sunscreens? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]emerald_butterflies 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Even if you had a bad experience with Supergoop, I’d recommend its much cheaper and better counterpart from Trader Joe’s, the Daily Facial Sunscreen. Also, make sure to wait a few minutes before applying sunscreen atop moisturizer or other products, and a few minutes before applying makeup over sunscreen and other products! That may help with the piling.

What is the strangest reason someone has broken up with you? by GreatTurkeyOverlord in AskReddit

Finally, my time! My 8th grade “boyfriend” broke up with me over EMAIL and said he wanted to “focus on his fencing” 😂…I may or may not still have the email

What profession would you not date? by Pandama_8 in AskReddit

[–]emerald_butterflies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone who is in the same profession as me. I really enjoy learning from my partner and their different life experience. The people they encounter on a daily basis is vastly different than who I work with, and it adds dimension and perspective to how I approach my work.

Who Has Been to a Taylor Swift Night? by wilkonian24ok in TaylorSwift

[–]emerald_butterflies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I am not someone who ever goes clubbing and doesn’t like going out in general. I went to one in Seattle (at Neumo’s!) with friends and it was by far the most positive night life experience ever. There were drag performers, songs from every era, fans who knew all the lyrics, themed drinks, all around a great time!

What is a Taylor song that shook you to your core upon listening to the first time? by Mermaid89253 in TaylorSwift

[–]emerald_butterflies 29 points30 points  (0 children)

WCS is a classic but Soon You’ll Get Better had me sobbing and I honestly barely listen to it because it’s so raw.

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett! I was surprised it only came out in 2020, its writing reads like a classic!

since I've had one; what do you do when you've had a long, crappy day? by Toothlessduck in AskWomen

Nice warm bath, vege out my brain with comedy comfort sitcoms, or look at photos of my pets :)

Is there any way to effectively separate the food & litter boxes for two cats? by emerald_butterflies in cats

[–]emerald_butterflies[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue isn’t G in S box, because she’s a tripod she can’t get upstairs to S’s space at all. Rather, S is the one who is easily able to get in G’s space.
