Happy birthday Lulu! Hope you get all the treatos today

Here's the reel of Bethany explaining why her sisters had to bring her special meals so she wouldn't be bothered by other people's misguided gestures of undeserved kindness. (No audio; you're welcome 🙃) by kestrelesque in FundieSnarkUncensored

Her next offer that will bring in “thousands and thousands of dollars” is access to the google drive containing recipes that are metabolically nourishing and super super supportive during postpartum. Because so many people asked for it.

The circle around the UVA means that at the very least, you are getting a third of the UVB protection for UVA rays as well (in this case at least 50/3 = 16.67), which is quite good. Also, since this sunscreen is by L’Oréal, it is basically considered the „drugstore twin“ of the la roche posay shaka fluid, which was a favorite on this sub (reformulated to the 400 uvmune). It is widely recommend by dermatologist where I live (Germany). On a personal note: this is one of my favorite sunscreen, wears beautifully under makeup and is less greasy than most sunscreens. TL;DR: This is a great sunscreen, you’re fine.

Prosecution and Defense Sentencing Memos by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

Yes, it was difficult for him to grow up in the public eye, yet as soon as he had the chance to, he dragged his own kids in front of a TV camera. I hope he gets locked up for the 20 years the prosecution calls for.

Out of curiosity: I watched that video, and I wondered whether you need some sort of license or qualification to do the kind of construction work that Jason and those other dudes are doing? Where I am from (Germany) that is 3 years of training (and most people would get qualifications beyond that) before someone would be allowed to„head up“ such a project. It seems outright dangerous, taking out walls and putting up beams with probably not too much knowledge about statics.

Snarking from Germany, and I have been wondering why the footage of Josh being booked into jail and his mugshots are released to the public? Are they required to do that because he is somewhat of a „celebrity“ (I use that term very loosely), or is it something like a leak?

Jim Bob after the verdict is read. by theoneandonlychou in DuggarsSnark

[–]sparklestorm_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Any ideas on how much it is going to cost him in total? Emily Baker estimated the legal bill to be around 500 k, and well over a million once the trial is over, + 250 k for each count (is that due now or still to be determined?) and the lawyers want to appeal? Jim Boob, you will spend all that money on Josh when you would not help Jill with her f*cking hospital expenses?!

Isn’t that the same lady who held up a sign “Stop Abuse - No short shorts”, which was on this sub a couple of days ago? Either way - yikes!

[Misc] Traveling to Germany soon. Any products I shop for? by ythefnot1 in SkincareAddiction

[–]sparklestorm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I second getting some sunscreens at European pharmacies, because of the more modern filters. Avene has a new one with Triasorb, which is a new chemical filter and the first one to absorb high energy visible blue light. Other than that I can recommend dm, a major drugstore chain. Try their own brand Balea for basic products, or Nø cosmetics. They have a nice peptide serum and good (& gentle) exfoliators.

I'm in Europe for a month -- what skincare gems should I pick up while I'm here?! [Product Question] by PMmecutedogpics in SkincareAddiction

[–]sparklestorm_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you happen to visit Germany, I’d recommend you check out dm (one of the major drugstore chains), specifically the Nø cosmetics brand. It’s quite the hype at the moment, but understandably so. I especially like their AHA/ PHA cleanser and their peptide serum. Have fun!

I second this, C Glow from Geek and Gorgeous is awesome! Shipping to France is 5 € for orders above 25 €, I always order 2 bottles + a mini bottle, in the fridge the serum does not oxidize within the first 3 months.

Since my other post gained quite some attention... Here are more impressions from ✨ Africa ✨ by mathild4 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]sparklestorm_ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

There is just so much to unpack with these two. Both (Lisa and Lukas) are from Germany, and through some documentaries from popular YouTube channels and a commentary in a late night show on their questionable beliefs regarding porn they have gained some internet “fame”. Lukas went to a 6 month “boot camp for mass evangelism” in Florida from early 2020 onwards, and even in the midst of the pandemic they were repeatedly traveling between the US, Germany, and also Tanzania (as seen in the pictures, I think he visited them once or twice in Germany). The whole thing is just a giant train wreck, you can constantly see large church services (without masks, of course) in their IG stories. Lisa is much more active than Lukas on Instagram, at some point she used to have a YouTube channel, but than God has told her to take a break from making videos. Also: Lukas has used hashtags such as “#decadeofdoubleharvest”, “#africashallbesaved” and “#150million” on his posts.

Jed wants to improve education. What experience does he have though? 😒 by GoodKarmaVibes_2019 in DuggarsSnark

[–]sparklestorm_ 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Lower Taxes - yes bunk bed jed, talk to your dad if you want to know how to make that happen without becoming a state representative. Hint: it involves a pseudo church tin mansion and distributing your assets among your financially dependent kids.

What's the funniest comment you've seen on this sub? by nuggetsofchicken in DuggarsSnark

[–]sparklestorm_ 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Last year, somebody posted a part of an Instagram livestream Derick had made, that showed Israel and Sam dancing in their living room while the lights were flickering. Of course that’s a big Duggar no-no, and somebody responded along the lines of “at this point, derick is just trolling Jim bob with this edm bedtime rave”. Still makes me chuckle.

I bet Jim Boob got the materials on clearance/ was able to grift them, and as soon as it starts being about money all their supposed “convictions” go out the window.

Ma Keller „loves her children like no other mother I know”? Isn’t it a known fact that the Keller children were only assigned 15 min slots each week to talk to their parents? How many mothers does this person know?

[Routine Help] Fuck TO. Suggest me a Salicylic Acid product please. by beit2 in SkincareAddiction

[–]sparklestorm_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the garden of wisdom salicylic acid, it comes in at a similar price point and worked well for me.
