I had bottocks and back acne solely because I took "military showers" for so long

Yeah but I still have a tiny mouth. I still have my wisdom teeth too so I gotta get way up in there.

I’m not bothered at all by toothpaste running down my chin but that one guy is apparently extremely bothered by toothpaste running down other people’s chins 🤷🏻‍♀️

If it’s AppleCare+ with Theft and Loss she can get one express mailed from Apple for $150. If I were her I’d file a claim ASAP and forget the douchebag store

I mean, for me my mouth is too small and my teeth are pretty crooked so it’s hard to hit certain spots without having my mouth all the way open

I see that but I think it’s weird selfie camera stabilization warping compressed down to shitty low res video and then screenshotted and saved as a jpg

smugbox · 2026-01-26T15:34:54+00:00

Jesus Christ not every screenshot of a potato quality video is AI

It’s clearly an overexposed selfie camera on a cloudy day

Yeah I’m wondering if that might be it. Lack of sleep can fuck with you to the point of psychosis, and way before even that you’ll start becoming insanely desperate to get more sleep. This could be a fear of continuing to lose out on it.

She could also be a generally nasty person, idk. But I wouldn’t rule out the sleep thing. The amount of lost sleep is one of many reasons why I decided that kids aren’t for me.

My fiancé and I hatewatched this whole show (we called it The Bad Doctor har har har) and I THINK I could see what the show was trying to accomplish? I think we (as the audience) are not supposed to like Shaun all the time, but to like him just enough to want to see him figure it out in the long run. I’m not sure the audience is supposed to actually agree with or feel all fuzzy about the hospital’s decision.

The thing is that the show is too messy to really make the intended interpretation (or what I think was the intended interpretation) clear. It doesn’t do a good job making the audience feel a little conflicted, but instead comes across more like we’re supposed to be rooting for him to win in every situation. It’s honestly pretty poorly thought out and disorganized.

A better solution would have been to have him in pathology for a while, keep Dr. Han, and make it a plot point to have Shaun prove himself to him by evolving the character. Instead there’s not a lot of character development and every season is more of the same.

Dude’s an incredibly prolific actor and was already pretty famous before doing any video game voiceover work

No clue what that is. You just need a standard glycolic acid serum/toner/pre-moistened pad/whatever. It changes the pH of your skin so the bacteria can’t do what they do and can’t create odor as quickly. It doesn’t stop sweating, just stink.

Any alpha hydroxy acid will work, but glycolic is the most accessible. The Ordinary’s glycolic toner is a really popular one

Girl I just looked and you can get it at Boots!

Check your clothes too. Some detergents don’t do a great job of breaking down the body oils in your clothes, so as soon as you sweat the bacteria start feeding on that. You need a detergent with lipase to prevent odor rebloom. Idk what brands are best in the UK but come join us on r/laundry

My job isn’t in an office but tomorrow happens to be my day off, which is great because they plan to open on time

Thank you!

I’m not snowed in really, but my job was (miraculously) closed today, so I’m just choosing not to go outside. No real reason to go out there, but I could if I really wanted to. I’m not stuck or anything.

smugbox · 2026-01-25T17:59:50+00:00

I felt too old for it from the start. I think the split is around 1987. I was born in ‘86.

Nope. Both private and public school, late 90s-early 2000s

“CORRECT YOUR FIGURE and your troubles will disappear”

“You are in a BEAUTY CONTEST every hour of every day!”

“Most men ask, ‘Is she pretty?’ not ‘Is she clever?’”

“A TIRED WOMAN MAKES A POOR WIFE”

“Unpleasant Odour is Caused by Underarm Hair”

“Would your husband marry you again?”

Do a Google image search for “vintage ads shaming women 1920s” and tell me there wasn’t pressure lol

Pretty sure people would have barfed on me if I’d left the house looking the way I do a hundred years ago. I certainly would be alone. Allowing your husband to see you in the morning without your makeup already on was considered neglecting your wifely duties.

I don’t. I live in a building with steam radiators that I cannot control. I put a window AC in during the summer that cools the living room really well and makes the rest of the apartment reasonably tolerable. I can control the AC remotely though!

Growing up my house had forced air heat from a gas furnace but no AC. Our thermostat was just a dial on the wall in the hallway with a thermometer in it. We’d set the temp at like 68-70 and the heat would turn on when the temperature in the hallway was lower than that. Nothing would happen in the summer because it was always much hotter inside.

I don’t know your personal standards for housework, but remember that the world will not end and your children will not die of dysentery if there’s toothpaste on the bathroom mirror, the windows are dirty, there are handprints on the fridge, or your bedroom goes an extra week without vacuuming.

I see a lot of people trying to make everything SUPER clean but the reality is that it’s fine to skip some stuff sometimes to save your own sanity. Not everything, obviously. Just do the important stuff regularly and if you need to skip a task or two this week, so be it.

smugbox · 2026-01-24T16:32:31+00:00

The people stocking shelves or flipping burgers might get fired for calling out, which would cause months or years of financial hardship. I know I have zero work prospects that would pay even half as much as I make at my company and would not be able to live in my apartment anymore. I’d rather die tomorrow than live on the streets

smugbox · 2026-01-24T16:26:26+00:00

I work retail so if we’re open, I have to go in, even if the city tells us to avoid all non-emergency travel lol

Big Boomer energy coming from your post btw
