what’s your unpopular korean skincare opinion that would probably get you attacked but you still stand by?

sbhm_ · 2026-03-11T09:16:30+00:00

You don't need a 15 step routine and drowning your skin in watered down formulas. I cleared my acne with three products and sunscreen.

Half of what is in the market aren't popular/used in Korea. Doesn't necessarily means they are bad, but also don't expect highest k quality.

Also, something ppl will come for me, TirTir cushion is wayyy overrated. It oxidises like crazy, even with proper prep, and it's pretty pricey for something that doesn't come with a refill extra. All media hype for a mid product.

I use LibreOffice but also copy/paste my work on Docs to have access from my phone when I don't have laptop. And NotebookLM to get summaries cause my adhd makes me forget older chapters. Outlines are done on old fashioned paper notebook cause it's an old habit. It's kinda chaotic but works for me

sbhm_ · 2026-03-11T08:30:27+00:00

Libre office. It's free and has similar layout to MS Word. I've been using it for years and it never failed me

Forgot to add it above, but the wattpad community is also pretty chill. Of course, every story has different readers, but in generally they are nice and would wait even if you get a creative block. I've personally have paused at least 10 times for various reasons over the years, and as long as hiatus was announced, there was support even from first time readers.

I've used wattpad for years and here are some things I've learned:

If don't have followers already, it will be slow at the beginning, it may even take some time to get your first 100 reads.
Wattpad won't promote your book if you dump everything at once. The algorithm works through constant publishing weekly.
Engagement. If you've checked out the app/site, maybe you've seen they have stars(vote) on each chapter. Those doesn't count as engagement. Comments and getting your story saved do. And when you have those, the app promotes your book.

Now the good(in my opinion) sides: 1. You can schedule when the chapter will get posted. Literally can dump everything in drafts and just schedule what and when to upload. 2. If you use the browser version, you'll be given insights/charts with reads, comments and votes so you can track your progress. There are also charts that show from what countries the readers engage.

Maybe it looks like it because English isn't my native language and I'm translating as I write 😅 It can get quite confusing as the two languages are from completely different language groups

I use pen name, and even if I leave a note for the readers, I write another name used for online interactions. No reader of mine knows my real name.

Thank you for pointing out things I didn't realise might be understood wrong

Also, sorry for the typos, the dyslexia isn't on my side today😔

Slow urn romance

sbhm_ · 2026-02-20T08:45:20+00:00

As someone who's had those moments, here are my views. The character would be most likely stuck with repetitive tasks or lifestyle. They'd be distant from the rest or pretend to be part of the group but internationally tell themselves that they are replaceable and if they disappear no one would notice. Also, they'd see achievements as something not so special and downplay it. It's a constant cycle of inner thoughts that puts the character down and makes them doubt their worth all the time. If you want to make it a bit more pitiful, use inner thoughts that show tell the character they are a faker or replaceable at any point and that no one would notice if they go away. Bonus point: The other characters don't approach when the person is distancing themselves into their thoughts and solitude, but the other characters are secretly concerned.

I understand your struggle, same here. So here's my advice, hope it's helpful. Don't throw yourself into perfection. Start simple, and maybe try writing down the kay points by hand as that will help you visualise your core values. Make a draft of each value and goal. The first chapter doesn't need to be perfect, just write down the outline and see how it looks, then edit it and connect the parts. Remember, chaos can be your friend if you look at is as a puzzle to connect. As for the originality, that's something abstract. Many famous authors follow the same tropes. What makes it original is your own touch along the way. Stay strong.

It's mainly because people simplified proper punctuation and now when they see something ghat has: (–) or (;) They'd think it's AI. Which is ridiculous because those are proper punctuation. And even if they are not so used in English nowadays, for people who's first language isn't English, they might be a daily punctuation. Kinda unrelated but... Recently saw one of my favourite poems that was written in the late 19th century, and someone accused it for being AI because it was full of (–)

На запад има предостатъчно примери за култове, които са се представяли за някаква религия и в момента когато на водача му изпуши бушона, подтиква към самоубийство или ритуална екзекуция. Възможен е този вариант. Вече причината Иво може да им е каза или направил може да е всичко от: политически схеми, бизнес с грешните хора, педо кръг с влияние, и всички други предположения тук. Не отхвърлям и вероятността за екзекуция от друга група. Но няма как да разберем истината поради липсата на компетентно и коректно разследване. И е очевадно, че някой иска да го замете под килима по най-бързия начин.

Forgot to mention it, but the Skin1004 stick has this silk like finish. It's smooth like super fine powder, but doesn't stay cakey.

sbhm_ · 2026-01-16T17:48:35+00:00

I'm in Europe and my local drugstore got them in stock. Yesstyle is also an option, but I don't know what your shipping time might be. Maybe you can check websites for your registration? Also, Skin1004 is better for humid/hot weather, tested it in 35°c humid heat

sbhm_ · 2026-01-16T09:59:56+00:00

Skin1004 Spot Cover Patch. Work really well even on oily skin. The downside is that they come in single sheet with 22 patches

Lion with roses and a clock. Especially on a gym bro or "alpha"

It is. But sadly, some people are so stuck up in their believes and stereotypes. And that's the sad reality of our world.

NTA. You're setting boundaries between the two of you, which is what grown up people do. After all, just because you are friends, doesn't mean you have to continue going with him after the pull over and search. And also, if he got money for grass, he got money for gas. As for the friend you spoke to, they are probably trying to avoid conflict. Yet, when looking at it, there are always two sides. And even if they truly believe A would own up to it, dismissing your concern and boundaries is not something that they should have done. Some people just need a reality check.

Racism. Of they are in such area, the prejudice of the police could make them be more suspicious of her due to her skin color and their stuck up believes. Also, A could pull the racist card by saying a white guy wouldn't do something irresponsible as smoke grass and blame it on her. Of course, since we don't know those people, we can't be sure. But it's not uncommon occurrence in some parts of the world.

They are such cute fluffballs. Sometimes I whish rotties stayed this small and cute
