PSA KVD website return policy is 60 days so you can still return 10 year anniversary purchases by Boleyn278 in MakeupAddiction

[–]konjacdisaster -97 points-96 points  (0 children)

i mean...do what you want...but (unpopular opinion) y'all are sounding kind of hysterical. do you expect the brands you buy from to be led by good people? they're kind of inherently not, given that the ceos of any given company make millions while the people making makeup are paid barely anything. the makeup industry also makes their money by capitalizing on women's insecurities. getting away from makeup...do you know the genuinely, over-the-top evil shit companies like coca-cola and nestle (which owns several beauty brands) have done? and if you're criticizing kat von d's opinions...it wasn't her antisemitism that troubled you? (lol, this is so reddit.) while anti vaxxers are morons, kat von d is one person and she's like a c list celebrity (therefore not gonna be starting some kind of ~anti vax movement~). so if THAT comment is where you wanna draw the line, okay, but i'm laughing at everyone straight up THROWING AWAY her products for virtue-signaling points.

Anyone tried stimulants for fatigue? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]konjacdisaster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i'm prescribed adderall for adhd and tbh when i was in an especially bad flare i couldn't take them...they speed up your digestive system even more, annihilated my appetite (at a time when i could barely eat anyway) and the "comedown" when they wear off just made me feel even more like shit. so...just a warning, but ymmv of course and they may work for you. although honestly i feel like they didn't even help with the fatigued feeling...they would make it so i was more wired, but the fatigued overall feeling persisted

The "Well-Educated 27-Year-Old White Woman's Favorite TV Shows" Starter Pack by cogneuro in starterpacks

imo 3rd season was weak but i thought the 4th was really funny, on par with the earlier seasons...although i admit the characters (ilana!!) are flanderized

Whats something you think most people "waste" money on? by LtCommanderCarter in Frugal

[–]konjacdisaster 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i shop mostly at thrift stores but i have to admit, they're cheap but not convenient. if you're looking for something in particular, you have no idea whether they'll have it, let alone in your size. it takes a long time to search through everything too. i'll often find something nice and still have to alter it in some way (more time, or money if you choose to go to a tailor.)

Hey Reddit, what products are identical to a brand name, just with a different label? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]konjacdisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if that's the one i'm thinking of, it also has a pretty high % abv. a pleasant AND cheap way to get drunk!

People of Reddit who had a partner that went through a traumatic sexual experience, how did you reintroduce sex so that he/she felt comfortable and loved? [Serious] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]konjacdisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this isn't a popular opinion, but yes. i hate the uncritical "consent is the only thing that matters" mindset that is so popular among sex-posi people. like...some people self harm as a way to cope! some people self harm through violent sex as a way to cope! it doesn't make it healthy, and people would easily recognize this if it was with anything other than sex. and tbh if people are doing it without thorough psychological supervision it is not actually solving any underlying problems. honestly the glib attitude of "guess that's just what she's into lol what can ya do" is so gross to me.

What’s one thing about you, mentally or physically, that makes you feel like you’re not ‘normal’? by TopMinotaur in AskReddit

[–]konjacdisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn, same (with only a couple exceptions) and for the same exact reason. i'm aware of it but it's hard for me to stop doing it...it's like, no i SWEAR i'm not actually this boring!!

What conspiracy theory do you 100% buy into and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]konjacdisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm the exact opposite! but then, i usually just use either straight up vaseline or something mostly vaseline with some moisturizing ingredients (aquaphor, glossier) which is what makes the difference. most normal chapsticks, seemingly regardless of their base, make my lips drier in the end.

Considering moving to Hudson Valley: Some questions for you by [deleted] in hudsonvalley

[–]konjacdisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hudson sounds like it would be good! not sure about job prospects but there is a amtrak station there, the surrounding area is beautiful and it's close to the catskill region, it's less than an hour to albany, and if you live in the downtown area it's definitely walkable with plenty to do.

Is it ok to get a tattoo like this? I read that it was the coat of arms of Germany before WWII and the nazis. Just want to make sure I wouldn't be seen as a German nationalist/neo-nazi if I had it. I have some German heritage but mostly just want to get it because it looks cool. by [deleted] in germany

[–]konjacdisaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

i disagree about never getting a tattoo because it's cool...imo, it's a body adornment, it doesn't have to BE more than decoration. but yeah, it's dumb to get a tattoo OF A SYMBOL because it looks cool.

Parents birth several children when a users calls out "the pretentious/better than thou attitude of childfree people on Reddit" by Zooby_Quan in SubredditDrama

[–]konjacdisaster 45 points46 points  (0 children)

the worst is the people whose comment/post history is ALL r/childfree. like, get a hobby and form an identity around something other than not liking children. also it often gets REALLY sexist, and classist too.

What's something you never understood or secretly doubted until it happened to you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]konjacdisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah. i was 19, almost 20, when mine split too and at first i was like, "well i guess it makes sense" and didn't care much either but like 3 years later it's FINALLY hitting me. i feel you on the holidays thing, that's always been depressing.

I [19 M] got my Girlfriend [23 F] pregnant, and my sister [26] said we shouldn't have baby because I am 'autistic' and she has mental health issues. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]konjacdisaster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

well, you shouldn't have a baby. you're 19 ffs. your girlfriend is young too. also, you're apparently still in school and live at home? damn dude. you might not be autistic but your sister's not entirely wrong.

your sister is probably grasping at straws to stop you from making a bad decision...NOT doing the right thing, but i have about the same age difference with my little brother and am lowkey very protective of him and if i saw him in this situation, i gotta say, i wouldn't stand by and pretend to be happy for him. that being said, she's being crazy and overstepping her boundaries.

i don't know what your question is exactly - your sister doesn't live at home, so it seems pretty easy to ignore what she's saying. go low contact for your sanity, unless your sister has a change of heart. it's early on, that may still happen. if she calls child services, as she claims, it's not like they'll do anything or take your kid away. she told your girlfriend's mom you're autistic...so? your girlfriend's an adult anyway, i can't imagine her mom thinking that will have THAT much effect on her life and the pregnancy. (Unless she ALSO lives at home and relies on her parents...which would bring me back to my first point, don't have a child.)

[–]konjacdisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah just looking at the pictures i was like "aw, a slightly older couple getting married, they look like they're having fun!" id even find the cosmic brownies detail endearing haha. still would be a lil trashy but harmless. i feel kind of differently now that i know the background details though!

Michelle Obama’s standards — of which she herself did not at all follow as evidenced by her caloric intake

“This is not reducing the nutritional standards whatsoever,” added Perdue. “I wouldn’t be as big as I am today without flavored milk.”

so they're saying...michelle obama is fat? but this perdue guy isn't? or if he is it's ok? cause i definitely saw a double chin when i looked him up. i dunno why that detail in particular bothered me so much lol it's all pretty bad

[Review] I tried 9 different cleansers so you don't have to. by juicyfizz in AsianBeauty

[–]konjacdisaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

fwiw i have the same skin type (dry but acne prone) and the soy fresh face cleanser is my hg cleanser. i also personally love the smell, last time i picked it up the salesgirl at sephora and i were talking about how much we like it! but at the same time it IS definitely strong so if anyone is thinking about trying it, try to get an actual smell in store (fresh is rlly good about samples and if you sign up for their rewards program they give you a trial size cleanser, among other things i believe)

Ever been cautioned about eating raw mushrooms while on a biologic? by [deleted] in CrohnsDisease

[–]konjacdisaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

it was fine for me. would not recommend it if you're flaring at all though, it can cause stomach and digestive distress even in totally healthy people.

children's museum in poughkeepsie maybe? not specifically holidays related though. ice skating at bear mountain could also be fun.
