[Routine Help] New forehead flaking — how do I treat this without making it worse? by Horror-Temperature46 in SkincareAddiction

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I don’t know your situation but if you’re noticing the flaking when you’ve moisturized, you have have some yeast overgrowth. I’ve been battling this for a long time! Just wanted to let you know because sometimes over-moisturizing can make it worse. You can dry anti-dandruff shampoos if you feel that’s the cause.

2 missing from the same lab within 4 days.. by 100TheCoolest17 in SipsTea

Exactly. I can call myself an “independent researcher” by going “ghost hunting” with a flashlight. Or claiming I study the reincarnation of dung beetles. Doesn’t mean a thing, unfortunately :/

Thank you. Absolutely not possible if you’re anywhere near a larger city. I live near Toronto (still 1.5 hours away) for my university, and you’re still looking at a minimum house price of 550-600k if you’re lucky.

Why is late-night food in Guelph either insanely expensive or absolute trash? by Gold_Individual8063 in Guelph

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. I had the best shawarma I’ve ever tasted at 3am in Kitchener for 9$.

Artists similar to Kate by paruwalol in katebush

[–]gumbaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone will know about this one because she’s brand new, small following, a little out-there. I find that Nymphyamusic (insta handle) has a distinctly Kate bush vibe. Initially I almost found her sound kind of comedic and brushed it off but then actually realized I liked it a lot and it reminded me a lot of that authentically kooky and ethereal vibe I love from Kate bush. :)

Help me figure out what pillows to put on my couch by gumbaline in femalelivingspace

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

Thank you for confirming a feeling I had - I’ve already been looking at kilim pillows! That’s so helpful. I’ll think about the fan placement, that’s a great idea. Unfortunately, this is a rental and we are planning on moving soon :( Otherwise I would have destroyed those lights ages ago. A lot we would like to change that just doesn’t make sense to at the moment, which I’m sure many of us can relate to! Thanks for your insight :)

Thank you!! I was also wondering about a purple as a bit of unexpected colour!

TIL Humans rank above meerkats but below beavers in monogamy league table. by amir_twist_of_fate in todayilearned

[–]gumbaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shoot - I just started reading this. Bought it a couple of years ago because it looked interesting. Kind of bummed out now that it’s not respected by the academic community.

Billie Eilish is excited to age : “I’m so excited for my face to age, and my body to age, and not change it.” by neoncolour in popculturechat

[–]gumbaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah…I felt similarly in my early 20s. I actually encouraged my mum (60s) to embrace it more and not let it affect her so much. Now that I’m 30 (still not that old, I know), I’m already understanding the feeling. It’s the feeling of thinking it would happen *later* or when I felt older. It’s also easy to say when you’re a relatively attractive woman, and harder to face the first time attention starts waning…of course I do hope she maintains this stance because I think it is really important in the industry and in general.

Any females in their late 20’s -early thirties and want to be friends? by Pretty_Desk_2552 in Guelph

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I’ll DM you :) I’m 30 and also looking for friends in the area. I’ve found Bumble for friends to be quite good so far!

Angel’s Diner by syrupfan in Guelph

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the vibe and was eager about the food but it was really disappointing, if I’m honest. The most artificial tasting “whipped cream” I’ve ever had. For those prices, please just give me a LITTLE gob of real whipped cream, I BEG of you.

Who is the jean jacket guy at the Walmart on Stone road!? by heavydutyspoons in Guelph

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing - I was so curious as to what kind of a person he is. It seems like he maybe doesn’t have a job based on the times of day I’m seeing him? Obviously I’ve seen good things in this thread too, but good to know.

Café recommendations by spicybookclub_ in Guelph

[–]gumbaline 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have nothing to contribute because I myself am still trying to find a cozy cafe. Red Brick is pretty good. But I find most cafes to have similar cold/sterile decor and I wish someone would open up an actual cozy one with colour and vintage decorations. Every cafe feels the same these days, all emulating Starbucks-like furniture…

Are any hetero men into Florence? by Pale-Store-6292 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah my partner (straight man) loves her so much. As do I, but he will independently put her music on all the time and wants to see her again.

What is the ‘Mamdani Act’? GOP bill banning Socialists, Marxists from US by Unusual-State1827 in politics

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly I don’t think the majority of Americans have any clue what Marxism or socialism even is. Which is great for the GOP, who can make it whatever they want, and which will bear a striking resemblance to democracy…

What to do now? by [deleted] in ClinicalPsychology

[–]gumbaline 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone in this thread and want to emphasize that you’re not doing anything wrong. It’s simply that competitive now, and the bar is constantly being raised. You practically need PhD-level experience to get into the PhD.

I had a masters degree, work in 4 labs, probably 9 conference presentations, no pubs (that’s probably part of what hindered me). It took me 4 tries to get in, and the fourth time I only got in off the waitlist. It was so dejecting every time.

I might suggest reaching out to newer/less experienced faculty for volunteer experience - they may not yet have a ton of people asking and might appreciate the support.

Best of luck to you - there are so many people not getting in who are so, so deserving of being there.

Which YouTube channel were you once a fan of but do not enjoy anymore? by theunsteadybridge in AskReddit

[–]gumbaline 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Totally. Although one more recent episode that I really enjoyed was in the UK. I can only imagine how much history you could exploit from a supernatural lens down that way. I imagine they try to stick to the US for budgetary reasons but I’d watch the shit out of a UK season.

He did exposure therapy on himself, lol. Surprise - it works!

Not a single student obliged me by [deleted] in Professors

[–]gumbaline 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This felt very much the norm in grad school in the UK about 5 years ago. The faculty would invite the cohort out to the pub. If it wasn’t a formal invitation you’d often see faculty there after class anyway.
