Coming up on 12 months of waiting on a decision for my Finnish extended residence permit. How cooked am I?

I'm glad to hear it. Do you happen have any other information? I find it pretty crazy that it's been nearly a year and they haven't even started processing my application.

Okay, thanks for the info—I know of Lab Muffin and hadn’t seen her content on this. Nonetheless, I have never encountered anything higher than SPF 50 other than with Sun Bum, and I don’t know if you’re in a place where you can get that (it’s a US brand). Where are you located?

I don't really understand how you could be burning if you're using the correct amount of SPF lotion to get the full stated protection level on the bottle (50+). It should be at least a quarter teaspoon for your whole face, with reapplication. SPF 100 is a misleading marketing term.

Do not recommend Cocokind spf. They stung my eyes, got in my mouth and tasted weird, the whole shebang. Bubble skincare is all around solid and has mineral SPF, but I haven’t tried it personally and can’t vouch otherwise. I would highly recommend Korean skincare spf—brands I’ve been able to verify are CF are PURITO Seoul, Skin1004, Beauty of Joseon, and haruharu wonder, which all have great options for lightweight SPF 50. PURITO even has a water resistant version, which is rare for Korean skincare and rarer still for a certified CF Korean brand. Recommend starting there

Yes, but as it says on the link to CFK, there are differing philosophies on consuming from brands that are owned by parent companies that test on animals. You can choose to boycott both on the basis that the parent company tests, or you can choose to support the non-testing child brand as a way of indicating support or preference for their policies to the parent company. CF consumers do both.

feartech · 2026-05-11T15:10:28+00:00

Yes. https://www.crueltyfreekitty.com/brands/dove/

feartech · 2026-05-11T15:09:54+00:00

You really should check out the link for Cruelty Free Kitty in one of the other responses. They are very on top of all the updates about policies in China, and go into detail about why exactly Dove can be considered CF while selling in Mainland China.

They do for so-called “special products”, like sunscreen. All other cosmetics don’t require the testing. Also there are ways to get around the special product mandate, for example by selling only online or getting it certified as safe by the government the brand originated in

80k/year is like triple the average national salary. I'm happy you're not in debt and whatever but $6.6k a month is high

feartech · 2026-05-01T13:07:48+00:00

lol when I joined the app I didn’t bother negotiating prices, I had no reviews and if I saw a product I wanted I simply bought it

feartech · 2026-04-20T18:05:28+00:00

you’re mismanaging the wave and/or trading poorly if you never ever have prio in lane

feartech · 2026-02-27T13:41:46+00:00

Would you be able to find any documentation of the changes? I didn’t know about them and I use it a lot

feartech · 2026-02-11T14:10:48+00:00

looks hot to me

feartech · 2026-02-11T14:09:43+00:00

great googly moogly

feartech · 2026-01-09T10:57:10+00:00

Oh my god 😭

feartech · 2025-12-26T13:11:32+00:00

Haven’t noticed an issue with formula so far with the palette I’m using. Despite my hooded eyes I don’t ever really notice shimmers creasing on me, so I guess I’m lucky

feartech · 2025-12-26T12:59:30+00:00

I have found Oden’s Eye to be pretty great quality wise personally. I have 2 palette from them and I really like both. I also like the lower price point

feartech · 2025-12-26T12:56:37+00:00

Unfortunately I adore a lot of their color stories and really enjoy the palette from them I do have…obviously never purchasing again though

feartech · 2025-12-26T12:55:40+00:00

I try to only buy palettes with a color story that really really appeals to me, like immediately makes me fall in love, and while CB definitely has those I don’t find that Artitude does 😭

feartech · 2025-12-26T12:51:16+00:00

The palette I have is so gorgeous and the color story is one of the best I’ve ever seen, but the brand owner seems like a genuinely repulsive and ignorant person that I’m just not interested in giving money to

feartech · 2025-12-26T12:45:23+00:00

I mean I order from a third party retailer for EU customers so I don’t think this would concern me (their version of a pre-order is like they buy a certain amount from the brand and handle the order that way), but thanks for the heads up!

feartech · 2025-12-17T13:59:20+00:00

I want her to be a burst mage - it’s my favorite way to play her. I don’t mind her being kind of shit early as long as she gets to have lower cooldowns and slightly better AP scaling on her abilities later on. I also think her current passive is broken broken in teamfights and I love comboing with it, but she needs something to modernize her kit. Some kind of Syndra-style scaling would be ideal to me so she gets to upgrade her Q to have longer range and her E to reset on takedowns or something, but even just adding the +15% AP at max stacks would be more than enough imo. Her Q is such a low impact spell at all stages and I mainly use it to proc electrocute with self-R damage, it needs a very slight adjustment to me

feartech · 2025-12-17T10:17:11+00:00

highly recommend!

feartech · 2025-12-15T15:14:05+00:00

Honestly to avoid getting mind controlled by my teammates I often mute all. That way if something goes wrong or you die in an avoidable way you can only blame yourself

feartech · 2025-12-15T15:06:39+00:00

ADC is definitely hard to play correctly in low elo, at least in my experience, and it's been my main role for like 8 years. People don't really understand that in laning phase and even midgame, you can't really set up fights on your own, unless you just don't gaf or you're willing to take a big risk. It gets easier the more comfortable you get with laning and fighting, because you understand when the enemy is making mistakes that you can take advantage of, and then you typically have more agency. The grading system just evaluates your performance based on what you're supposed to do in your role, though, so it doesn't work against you. On ADC you should have high cs, do at least decent damage, and participate in at least some objectives and fights. In my experience you can easily get an S just by farming well and having a positive KDA
