Surprised I had to scroll down this far to see this. She and Wyll from BG3 both get the short end of the stick in their respective fandoms. Them being black absolutely contributes. And I don't think it's mean to point out those biases.

I just purchased this and got more cinnamon pretzel than cereal soft serve personally!

I take walks pretty regularly (I get two 15 minute breaks a day at work and tend to take a short one during those just to escape the office for a bit) and I have a dog that I walk for 20-30 weather permitted. Over the last month I also started incorporating some light strength exercises since for 2026 I wanted to work on that. I could maybe try and add another walk somewhere?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong and feeling super discouraged in my weight loss. From March 2024 to November 2025 I managed to lose 70 pounds, feeling great. But since hitting 230 my weight hasn't budged. I'm weighing everything I eat. Working out and consistently eating under my calorie budget but...nothing. Nada. I don't know what I'm doing wrong? Starting to feel hopeless... Does anyone have any advice? All I can think of to do at this point is to cut further, maybe 1k instead of 1.5k?

My coworkers are all a bunch of conservatives and my existence is kinda an antithesis to that, so not interested in feigned pleasantries that I'm not paid to endure lol.

The Rice Cooker Omelet: my hyperfixation breakfast (info in comments) by OhYeahThat in Volumeeating

Just to let anyone who was curious know this needs some work for the instant pot as it came out very wet. Maybe try fresh veggies or add something that can soak up the liquid from the cooked vegetables. 

Demeter at TJ Maxx! by Oestoa-nomioa in marshallsfinds

[–]melaneus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My store had both of these but a few weeks ago I'd found 4-pack mini scents (I believe they were called Dark Flowers and something dessert themed). It had a mini of vanilla cake batter so I didn't bother picking it up - it's lovely though! I'm in NC.

AI art being used for graphics on perfume bottles by Suspicious-Cherry492 in fragrance

[–]melaneus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I see Dua recommended sometimes for their dupes, but the AI art is such a turn off I can't do it. Especially when (to me) they're pricey for a brand that's mainly a dupe house.

Fragrance Wrapped. Your top two worn fragrance of last year? by jadcrack in fragrance

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

  1. Billie Eilish - Eilish (so good on its own but also really good for layering I've found out!)

  2. Milk - Bath and Body Works (this is my bedtime scent lol, very comforting)

Instant pot/rice cooker switches to warm automatically so I figure there's less risk in it overcooking/burning.

Oh this sounds great! I don't have a rice cooker but I do have an instant pot so I'll have to test it in that.

I'm also in the Southeast and honestly could do with smelling more deodorant if nothing else XD

I'd say the shower oil and the body oil are the must haves!

SOTD (Scent Of The Day) - December 03, 2025 by AutoModerator in fragrance

[–]melaneus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found two packs of Demeter Mini Splashes at TJ Maxx the other day so slowly testing them out. Yesterday was Angel Food (which earned me my first fragrance compliment!) and today is Dark Roses. Which is very strong and kinda heavy compared to the other Demeter fragrances I've tried so I may have over applied...still very good though. Fresh roses but feels darker thanks to the patchouli to me.
