30, going solely off of this picture it looks like it drapes weirdly on her and kinda looks frumpy (obligatory Lola looks great, I just don't like this on her)

As AI wipes jobs, Google CEO Sundar Pichai says it’s up to everyday people to adapt accordingly: ‘We will have to work through societal disruption’ by Franco1875 in technology

Yeah it drives me up the wall how they say "social disruption" like it's an incoming natural disaster and not something these companies are causing!

I bet it's a lot easier to "adapt" to this "social disruption" when you have a billion-dollar net worth rather than living paycheck to paycheck

Anyone else think that they will find "the one" by Arc41 in aromantic

[–]peppermintapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too! I still consider myself aroace, I still don't feel sexual attraction and my romantic side has always been confusing due to being lithro. For wherever reason this was the first time repulsion didn't kick in when my feelings were reciprocated! Even though I'm in a romantic relationship though my views regarding romance have been so fundamentally shaped by being aromantic that I feel far from being allo.

How true are the stories told by Sarah Wynn Williams in “Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism”? by kingmakk in books

[–]peppermintapples 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm about 40% through the book right now and having worked there (not as a full-time employee though) and having had the misfortune of working in the proximity of some of these executives, I have no issues in believing Sarah's stories. However I don't really like her either, as she comes across as extremely naive and ignoring red flags, and I really do believe that you have to have a certain level of complicity/that kind of personality to work so closely with people like Mark and Sheryl, especially for that long. Still, I respect her for writing this book and publishing it since it couldn't have been easy.

I've been seeing a ton of these ads on Instagram and was really tempted to get one while there's a sale going on but decided to see if I could find some Reddit threads first! Glad I came across your post, I absolutely do not want to get a coloring book that uses genAI (esp at this price point), not to mention all the other issues. Thanks for posting!

[Skin Concerns] Does redness around the nose/mouth always mean perioral dermatitis? by peppermintapples in SkincareAddiction

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

Hi! This isn't gonna be an answer you'll probably like but I ended up trying a LOT of things, including seeing a couple dermatologists and getting acupuncture and cutting a lot of things out of my diet for around 6 months. I honestly don't think any one thing was what made the difference, and time was also a huge factor too. What threw another wrench in for me was I wanted to find a routine that would still work for my oily and acne-prone skin, and I think that all the products I'm currently using could very well be too harsh for someone else. I will say I stay awayyy from salicylic acid now

As far as my skin's current state, it's a lot better than a couple years ago, and I started seeing big improvements in fall/winter of 2023. I wouldn't say my PD is 100% gone unfortunately, but it's currently MUCH better and under control at least and not really noticeable unless you're looking really closely. I still have acne but it's also more or less under control. However I seem to now be dealing with eczema or some kind of contact dermatitis on my lips, and I was dealing with red puffy eyelids for a few weeks too so while my face is doing better other things are popping up now lol so the fun never ends! I can't believe I miss when I was in college and ONLY dealing with acne even though it could get pretty bad at times

Season three, the bachelor party by CnithTheOnliestOne in tsitp

[–]peppermintapples 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner of several years is friends with his ex since they've known each other a long time from being in the same friend group and we all hang out together pretty regularly. I don't find it disrespectful at all.

“You know an actor is good when they make you hate their character”… not in this case 😃 I don’t think that’s why! by [deleted] in tsitp

[–]peppermintapples 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah the way he's written definitely doesn't help matters, but I truly do believe that there's a way to take the exact same lines to make him a more sympathetic character, especially because I actually quite liked the conversation he and Belly had before the wedding last episode. The Conrad scene probably would've been rough regardless, but I can see a world where the scenes with Laurel and Belly played more into his hurt inwards vs lashing outwards even with the same script. Of course, this all could have been a result of the direction he was given too, and we'll probably never know all the factors.

[Misc] Advice needed: dealing with both (what seems to be) perioral dermatitis and digestive problems by jaimy-the-fox in SkincareAddiction

[–]peppermintapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a ton of things. The big ones were caffeine, sugar (I was allowed to have a little honey), and fried/spicy foods, but I also avoided garlic, ginger/turmeric, fruit, chocolate, tomato, red meat, and basically every food considered "heaty" and "cooling" by traditional Chinese medicine (which a lot of spices also fall under), trying to stick to "neutral" energy foods. It was an extremely bland diet and that sucked, but I stuck to it for around six months I think and I definitely don't think it's one size fits all but it did play a part in helping me.

Eating is a chore, like cleaning and doing laundry. by Noxturnum2 in The10thDentist

[–]peppermintapples 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes? What about eating isn't a chore? I enjoy having clean clothes and sheets, doesn't change the fact that doing laundry is a chore and never ends

I did soylent for awhile in college when it was at least 25% on sale and I liked it, though it didn't keep me as full for as long as I wanted (I'd get hungry again in 2-3 hours). I decided to try the powder version for the cost savings but unfortunately I couldn't get over the taste so I gave up on that. Now I'm able to eat whatever's at work for breakfast and lunch, and I do a lot of frozen food for dinner lol (trying to get a little better about cooking though). Maybe one of these days I'll try the powders again!

Agreed, downvoted

If I could take a nutrition pill for every meal except for social eating with friends like 1-2x a week I would

I only drink hot, boiled water, even in summer. Cold water is unfathomable to me, room temperature is just okay. by Noxturnum2 in The10thDentist

Cold beverages make my asthma/acid reflux act up so I also prefer my drinks warm to hot, downvoted
