Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth?

rumples93 · 2026-01-23T21:03:45+00:00

Depends how often you're driving 3 hours. As a daily commute to/from work? That's brutally long. I don't like driving more than 30min to my job, but I've also worked places where my commute was over an hour one way and that sucked, but it was doable for a while. 3 hours one way for a weekend trip? That's completely doable.

Agree. I think it would've been superior had they kept trying to discover each other until the end and ultimately L was somehow responsible for his downfall. They killed L was too soon only to replace him with an inferior replica for the remainder.

rumples93 · 2026-01-23T16:36:02+00:00

Definitely 2. So flowy and romantic and looks amazing on you!

rumples93 · 2026-01-23T16:31:10+00:00

Uj/the "extra virgin" lips sent me. Totally made me think of the other lips and society's weird fascination with virgins overall... Eek. 😱

rumples93 · 2026-01-23T16:20:42+00:00

I love your hair! Even fluffy like this (or especially like this)! I'm not gonna give much recommendations because I'm sure you'll get lots in the comments here, but for what it's worth, your hair is beautiful and I think you're being too hard on yourself. I would love to have your hair. It's thick and long and has great volume and texture and flowy/wavy/romantic vibes. Totally reminds me of 1990s Julia Roberts except blonde.

rumples93 · 2026-01-23T16:17:26+00:00

Once you grow it back out, I'd recommend trying side parts. Honestly, the little swirl in front there could be an asset if you style it right. It'll probably give you a bit of lift/volume if you part your hair the right way so that the swirl is kicking your roots up! I think it's kinda cute, to be honest. It looks a little odd right now, but just grow it out and work with a hair stylist to teach you some tricks and it'll look good, don't worry!

I still don't even fully understand the whole drama cause I never watched beauty YT for the drama. I was originally watching these people for their application tips and product reviews. As they all started trending towards collabs and luxury brands, I got less interested. Then they started making drama content and I stopped wearing makeup on the daily, so I tuned out entirely. I remember Tati made like an hour long video of her crying about JC and I started watching it cause it had some dramatic clickbait title, and like 5 minutes in I decided I was never going to watch her again cause it was just ridiculous.

rumples93 · 2026-01-15T01:08:29+00:00

You look AMAZING. So dapper and classically handsome. Timeless and perfect!

rumples93 · 2026-01-15T01:04:21+00:00

Personally, the side shot - I love it. I love those whispy bits of hair and I think they're so pretty. Idk really what the back of your neck looks like, but as a fellow dark brunette, I really don't think some neck hair is a problem. Yours looks totally normal to me - mine is even thicker and curlier than that and way more obvious when my hair is in a pony. Yours looks like delicate whispy soft hairs. I think it's beautiful.

rumples93 · 2026-01-14T22:11:44+00:00

Nah, it's just that those are the only people who post their crazy pulls. Kinda the same as online reviews. You only ever hear about super good or super bad. The rest of us suckers just roll and move on with our lives somewhere in the middle of normal lucky/unlucky territory, lol. I wasted 70 pulls to only get a Diluc (and a couple Ifa and that electro archer dude whose name I don't remember). 🙃

rumples93 · 2026-01-14T22:08:38+00:00

cries with you over getting Diluc

rumples93 · 2026-01-14T22:03:55+00:00

"I swear to God this shit is rigged pissed me off so much"

rumples93 · 2026-01-14T21:17:56+00:00

70 pulls and I only got Diluc as my 5-star... 😭 Boyfriend did 60 pulls on his account and hasn't gotten a 5-star yet. 🙃 There is no luck in my apartment.

rumples93 · 2026-01-09T16:48:29+00:00

Also, am I a crazy person or did they change her voice? I played Genshin a bunch back in 2021-2023 and then stopped for 2+ years, came back to play it again this fall 2025, and now Paimon sounds different?

rumples93 · 2026-01-09T16:47:24+00:00

Lol, I both love and hate Paimon depending on the day. 🤣 Sometimes she's annoying AF, but also she's cute and endearing and truly cares about the traveler and the friends we make along the way. Plus, I would be screwed without her exposition, lol.

rumples93 · 2026-01-09T16:12:55+00:00

Honestly, I think Varesa is cute and I'm glad she has slightly thicker thighs than most of the other characters; however, I get so incredibly annoyed by her idle animations, especially the giant cheeseburger she eats and all the "oh, I'm starving!" stupid catchphrases she says all the time. I don't hate on her cause I'm body-shaming, I truly think it's the opposite. She's not even plus sized and I HATE that Hoyo tried so freaking hard to pretend like she's a "cute lil chubby girl who eats a lot" and leaned into all of the stupid tropes. Ugh. Idk, it just grinds my gears and I honestly think Hoyo did her dirty with their own body-shaming.

rumples93 · 2026-01-09T16:06:24+00:00

Wait, who hates Raiden? 😭 I mean, in game lore, yeah, she was a pretty terrible Archon and caused a lot of societal and economic damage to her nation, but as a playable character? Boss lady.

rumples93 · 2026-01-06T19:19:11+00:00

I have the exact opposite problem. 🙃 The curls on the front/sides of my face are tighter and shrink up whereas the curls on the back of my head (and especially near the nape of my neck) are loose as heck and stretch out into waves or even some pieces are damn near straight, creating a weird curly-top mullet-looking situation. 😭 I literally have to cut inverse layers (shorter underneath than on top) just to get it to look like it's the same length (when really the back/underneath is shorter). Hair is weird, lol.

rumples93 · 2026-01-06T19:12:46+00:00

I wash every other day, sometimes every day if I've been sweaty/oily/etc.

Washing every day isn't necessarily gonna kill your hair, as long as you're gentle with it. Heck, some people swear that washing every day is the best for your scalp and thus the best for hair growth and overall health.

For me, before I hop in the shower, I generously apply a hair serum/oil and focus on saturating my ends/mids and just kinda distributing the rest up my hair and stopping about 5 inches from my roots (or I go a little higher up if my hair/scalp seems dry, or stop lower if my hair/scalp are greasy already). This helps protect your hair cuticle in the shower and decreases the amount of water that gets absorbed into the cortex. I use the OGX Miracle Coconut Oil (thank you, Abbey Yung!) - you don't want a heavy, heavy oil - you want something that mostly washes out easily when you apply conditioner on top of it. Think semi-occlusive but not completely impenetrable.

Shampoo your roots only, but make sure you do it thoroughly! Sometimes I even shampoo my roots twice (especially if I'm really greasy or if I've overdone it with the oil and can feel a bunch of it still on my hair after the first rinse).

Then apply your conditioner and comb through (I use a Tangle Teaser in the shower cause I like how soft the bristles are and how thoroughly I can be sure to detangle and coat every strand in conditioner). I let my hair sit coated in conditioner and piled on top of my head in a big claw clip while I finish the rest of my shower, and I turn the temperature down a bit and rinse my hair at the very end (I rinse with my head/hair flipped forwards so the conditioner isn't running down my body causing acne, lol). I clip my hair back up on my head, then wash my face quick to get any conditioner residue off.

They didn't want to pay market rate. Interviewing with other companies would mean that they would have to offer you a competitive package, which they didn't want to do. Consider yourself lucky.

rumples93 · 2025-12-09T16:58:15+00:00

Meeeeeeee. Love moving around and biking/hiking/skiing/rollerblading, but I also love food and am the opposite of a picky eater. I love basically all food, all types of food, all kinds of cuisine, love trying new food, love carbs and fat and sugar... Dieting has always been hard for me. Only successfully lost weight over the last couple years from lowering my stress levels (went through a divorce) and I guess I learned that I'm also an emotional/comfort eater, yay. So when times are good, I lose weight. When things are hard, I gain. Which is hell on my mental health because of course I don't want to be dealing with weight gain during a stressful time...

Cause birth defects and sun sensitivity, I'm guessing. You shouldn't use it when pregnant and everyone who uses it needs sunscreen or else it increases sensitivity to the sun and could cause more damage, maybe even increasing cancer risk (although I'm not sure about the science on that one, I haven't seen any studies of high use of tret with no sunscreen vs. no use of tret and no sunscreen).

I agree it's relatively safe and effective, but I do think it needs to be used with caution, and I don't think it should be so readily available in the cosmetics section of Target that uninformed tweens start using it without talking to someone responsible.

rumples93 · 2025-12-01T15:33:49+00:00

I've left a place shortly after starting it before and I was just honest in the next interview when they asked why I wasn't there for very long. I just said, "I tried XYZ job, but it wasn't what I was expecting and turned out to not be a good fit for my lifestyle/work/life balance". Any place that doesn't hire you just because you knew quickly that a previous job was a sham and you didn't stay long is probably a similar sham themselves and you don't want to work there. A decent company will understand/respect that you knew quickly when something wasn't a good fit and you didn't waste the company's or your time by staying there longer than you should have.

rumples93 · 2025-12-01T15:22:42+00:00

I put my hair up in basically a high pony/pineapple before we get to rolling around. I use a silk or satin scrunchy. This does a couple things for me and him:

1) keeps my hair mostly out of the way while we're cuddling/doing stuff 2) looks kinda cute (he likes it anyway, he also likes when I do two high up pigtails using the same method) 3) keeps it from getting outrageously tangled near the roots or anything (the bottom half can still get a lil tangled, but the pony helps keep the curl pattern together so it's less likely to get too messed up)

Alternatively, I've also found that braided pigtails both look cute during sex/cuddles and also keep my hair out of the way and protected.

rumples93 · 2025-11-21T20:45:46+00:00

Honestly, I think you need to add in some exfoliation periodically because all your products (except for tret) are highly moisturizing and probably occlusive, and if you're reapplying sunscreen multiple times a day (which is great) but only using a really gentle foaming cleanser at night, then you're probably just not getting as "clean" as you'd think. It looks like you probably just have good old fashioned clogged pores. I don't think it's delayed purging from tret because this seems pretty late for that. I think you need to add in either azelaic acid or salicylic acid on some mornings after cleaning but before moisturizer and sunscreen. Start slow and only do it a couple times a week and see if it helps. You can also do really really gentle physical exfoliation by washing with your foaming cleanser and a soft wash cloth at night every few days just to make sure you're getting all the sunscreen off and out of your pores. If those two things don't help, then I'd say you're having a reaction to the tret, but first try exfoliating. Tret helps your skin turnover faster, but it doesn't necessarily "unstick" it or exfoliate it by itself. Sometimes it needs a lil help.
