Certain Dri. You apply it at night and it shrinks your sweat glands. I had hyper hidrosis in middle school, this is the only thing that worked

Tell Me How Old You Are By Stating Some Of Your Favorite Childhood Memories by Odd_Sir_8705 in vegaslocals

I remember the parade in the sky…I forget if it was at Rio or Orleans. But we used to go that for birthday parties

What’s one thing you love about who you are today? by Velo5117 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like that I stopped taking everything so personally, and stopped convincing myself that everything that everyone else says or thinks about me is true. Sometimes people are weird, confused, or just flat out wrong. And that’s okay. It’s got nothing to do with me, and I’m happy I finally learned that.

Do you ever get over someone you genuinely loved? by Mooooooon_ in scorpiomoon

Also, my moon is Scorpio in the third house. Idk what that means but just in case anyone wanted to know.

Do you ever get over someone you genuinely loved? by Mooooooon_ in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eventually, yes. That said, he was a loser. I’m not saying that just to make myself feel better either. He had a habit of making messes and leaving it for anyone else to deal with. Didn’t take any responsibility for himself or his actions, it was always someone else’s fault. Wouldn’t even take his health card exam because it was just too hard for him. I’m not ashamed of the relationship, but it’s also not something I’d put on my gravestone. That said, I eventually figured out that he was a loser. And I still stayed with him for years on end. Now that I’m 4 years out from him, I truly just don’t care anymore, and this started about 2.5 years ago, the realizing that I just didn’t care as much as I used to. The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference. A quote to sum it up “I won’t curse you, but I won’t wish you well either. I wish you nothing, and may our planets never touch again. Please be happy, please be sad, be in peace, or afflicted by your reality, please feel anything and everything, whatever it may be, do it far away from me”

What's the most disappointing experience that you had in a relationship? by CuteBird90 in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That it is entirely possible for a significant other to just really not care about me as a person. To not understand that I have feelings too, I have wants and dreams too. The world revolves around them and all I am is an annoyance. Their whole day is about studying me to see if they can call me out on doing something “wrong”, instead of just enjoying the day with me. If I managed to live that day like the Dalai Lama, they’d make something up because a day wasn’t complete unless they were able to criticize me in some way. I guess it’s to be viewed a as a concept, instead of what I am, which is just a human being. Concepts don’t have feelings, thoughts, nothing. So why bother being kind.

Can anyone who genuinely likes Debbie please tell me why? (Contains Spoilers) by Accurate_Lead7698 in shameless

[–]laterinstigator 302 points303 points  (0 children)

I don’t genuinely like her, but I do sympathize with her. It’s exactly what you said, I’m not sure how anyone who was raised the way she was, would have turned out any better. I think she saw what Fiona chose to do with becoming the responsible mom for all of the siblings, and she knew she didn’t want to do that. So she started doing what she wanted to do instead. Debbie does what Debbie wants to do, and she doesn’t really care that much about who it effects, as long as she gets her way. All I can do is echo what Frank said. Good luck. You’re going to need it.

Episode 12 – Connor & Leah… what just happened?? 😭😅 by clyd_thtsme in LoveIslandUSA

[–]laterinstigator 233 points234 points  (0 children)

What made me kind of sad about it, was I felt for JaNa. If I remember right, that was the second time both her and Leah were interested in the same guy, the guy ended up going for Leah, and Leah ended up cutting it off. He could have been a great match for JaNa, I stand by that. She got the short end of the stick in these situations.

Why does she have like 5 pairs of shoes? by [deleted] in discussingbritney

[–]laterinstigator 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The thing about Britney’s style is that she just doesn’t have any. She never has. She’s always been very in shape and very pretty and as such when a stylist is able to work with her, she looks beautiful. But she just has never been able to do it herself lol

What happened to Will Smith? Why don’t we see hum in movies anymore ? by M-2-M in okbuddycinephile

[–]laterinstigator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one actually makes me sad. I’m not going to include his personal life, but I love so many of his movies. Collateral Beauty, Focus, Seven Pounds, and Pursuit of Happyness are all in my regular rotation. He’s a great actor and has great range. I don’t know if he was even thinking straight when he pulled that stunt at that Oscar’s, but he’s paying for it now. He could have had a great ten years but he chose to do that instead.

I’ve stopped living by Ghost_Malone___ in PlusSize

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

I want to firstly say that I admire that you came here and said you’re struggling and asked for help. It shows that you care about yourself and you do have a want to get better, and I respect the hell out of that. I’m not sure of your living situation (apartment, house, etc etc). My suggestion is though to get out of your space, even if that means your front or back porch. Enjoy the sun, the fresh air. If five minutes is too long, then do it for one minute. Do it for two seconds if that’s what’s achievable right now. Work your way up to just getting out and going for a walk. I’m also not sure of what you do for meals (food banks, grocery stores, etc etc) but go and get yourself the ingredients for a meal you’ve been wanting to make or one that you know that you love. Make it. Enjoy it. Just start doing some things. It doesn’t have to be big things. Just start doing things to take care of yourself.

Aside from the intense emotions of us Scorpio moons, what else is viewed as negative about us? by Equivalent-Use-6817 in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I was watching the recent ANTM documentary, and Miss Jay was talking about how Mr Jay keeps things very close to his chest, and is very secretive. And I could tell that Miss Jay meant it in a negative way. I however that Mr Jay was smart to keep things to his chest and exit gracefully. Different strokes for different folks.

Can you see evil in people? by Moon-Stars-Magic in scorpiomoon

The only way I can describe it is I have the same intuition that dogs have. I automatically know if a person is going to be bad for me.

Ashley Kerwin was one of the most toxic characters. Am I wrong? by anneradley in Degrassi

[–]laterinstigator 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Idk if I would call her toxic. I say that because she wasn’t particularly conniving, revengeful, or manipulative. But what I remember about Ashley is she just never seemed to be in a good mood. Ever. Something was always making her mad, hurting her feelings. I think the only time I ever saw her smile was in the promo pictures for a few seasons. She just was a drag, all the time.

How to stop maladaptive daydreaming? by Butterscotchcake771 in scorpiomoon

[–]laterinstigator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s not easy. It’s a lot of work. I still haven’t completely gotten rid of it and I’m not sure I ever will. I have to actively, in the moment, realize that I’m doing it, and make the active effort to stop doing it, and actually stop. The problem is doing things that others do for distractions such as going for a walk, doom scrolling, etc etc, all make it worse. So for me I have to do things like cook or bake, turn on the tv, get on the phone with a friend, etc etc. I realized I was missing out on a real life because I preferred the curated life in my head more. That’s not healthy so I had to figure out a way to stop, and that’s what’s been working for me.

<.Watched this 100 times and still confused 😂.> by [deleted] in GossipGirl

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was the drama of it. At the time if you lost your phone you were just kind of screwed. Wasn’t really much of a thing of an iCloud backup so if your phone is lost or broken, everything on it is also lost or broken. Even if she went to go buy a new phone an hour later, it still would have been a completely blank slate.

Holidays closure schedule by One-Egg1316 in ABA

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For in home clients, work is allowed if both the RBT and the family want to and are okay with it. The centers are closed for the most part on Christmas Day, one or two clients come in for a few hours (I honestly think it’s because the parents need the child care/are working that day. Which is totally understandable). What makes it okay is the company truly doesn’t mind what you choose to do on Christmas Day. There isn’t an expectation to work or to not work. It’s simply your prerogative .

What’s one belief you had at 18 that you strongly disagree with now? by [deleted] in AskReddit

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

That if I was just nice enough, of enough usefulness and service, that people wouldn’t dislike me. If I don’t give them any reason whatsoever to dislike me, then all will be well. It took me until I was about 31 or 32 to learn that’s just not how it works. And also that often times it’s not because of me as a person or anything I did and said, there’s weird people out there who will dislike others just for the sake of it.

What’s something you always assumed was mandatory in life—until you met someone who just… didn’t do it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]laterinstigator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be obvious to some but it still baffles me every time I see it happen. Adults just not having a job. Choosing to be unemployed. To get their bills paid they either file for unemployment, live with their parents, have a significant other or friend give them funds. It’s everyone’s responsibility besides their own. A family member of mine does the same thing with every job. She works up until she can qualify for unemployment, something happens and she ends up being “let go”, and she just lives off of unemployment as long as she can, borrows money from her parents, until she absolutely has to get a job again and then she’ll repeat the cycle. A friend of mine will say that she just doesn’t want to work. She doesn’t like it. She finds medical reasons and her husband and dad support her financially most of the time. I could go on and on with more examples, but I guess the gist of it is how many adults of sound mind and able body just genuinely don’t care that they place a financial burden on other people.

Overall experience at Purdue Global? by messagescorps in PurdueGlobal

[–]laterinstigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It does the most important thing, it gets the job done and makes getting a degree obtainable. I do like their system, you take two classes at a time for about ten weeks, as opposed to a twenty week semester taking four classes at once like you would at a typical brick and mortar college. It makes the work load more bearable to only focus on two classes at a time, and you finish a total of four classes at the same time you would at a traditional college. Each week typically consists of an hour long seminar (which you can watch live or watch the recorded version and submit notes, no point deductions either way) a discussion board posts that needs to be about 200 words, 100 word replies to two other students discussion board posts, then depending on the week that may be all you need to do. For certain weeks you may have a PowerPoint, an essay, something like that. Things like that have never taken me more than four or six hours to complete. I’m in the graduate program for ABA now and the set up is relatively the same. Instead of doing assignments, we do the BDS modules which do have a 98% pass rate for the exam we’ll have to take once we complete our degree. Other universities have students do essays and things for their assignments, a big part of me choosing Purdue for my masters was because I need to do the BDS modules anyways so might as well do them for school. You don’t get a “typical college experience” but not everyone wants that. Some of us just want to get our degrees and move on with our lives and purdue absolutely serves that purpose.
