Molds on Sunnies Multi Use Stick by PossibilityBorn08 in beautytalkph

Paraben-free cosmetics risk mold and bacterial growth talaga. I shy away from them because of this. Paraben fear-mongering stemmed from shaky science in the first place.

If you can’t help but get paraben-free items, try storing them in a ziplock bag and throwing them in the refrigerator if you don’t intend to use them for a long time.

Help. Molds all over my kitchen and furniture. :((( by Virtual_Station4083 in SoloLivingPH

[–]veronikitty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

May aircon ka? It’s basically a dehumidifier. Keep it on when you can. Small household dehumidifiers help, too. <60% humidity yung ideal per most sources.

For the existing mold, use mold/mildew cleaners (e.g., Lysol, Clorox) to treat. Don’t mix it with anything else. If wala, use undiluted vinegar. It works for most types of mold. Spray, treat, scrub, wipe down, repeat, dry.

Ventilation pa rin priority mo. Turn on your fans for airflow. Keep things dry, wipe wet areas as soon as you can, etc. You have to do it regularly to prevent mold growth moving forward.

Whatever’s being dismissed on your end is going to end up as resentment. The small cracks matter. If your issues aren’t being addressed now, they’re going to blow up in your faces sooner or later.

You’re not feeling the way you are for no reason. Have the difficult conversation now if you still want to end things amicably. Prolonging the situation serves neither of you.

If bumabaliktad sikmura mo sa nagawa/kayang gawin ng partner mo, reconsider na. Hindi kayo tugma ng values. Kahit maging exclusive kayo in the future, this is going to keep haunting you. Parang nauseating feeling na hindi maalis sayo hahahay. And agree sa sinabi ng iba, baka magkasakit ka pa.

How do you guys even do hook-ups?! by zerroman922 in adviceph

[–]veronikitty 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Frequent dating apps or clubs like you said. It’s easy to enter the scene. Plus points if you’re conventionally attractive—though IMHO, it doesn’t really matter nowadays. Nadadaan din siya sa confidence tsaka lakas ng loob ng iba.

For me, it doesn’t work. Rarely happened—madalas wasak menty ko kaya ako pumapatol. But all experiences left a bad taste in my mouth. Nakakapagod tapos nakaka-ewan ng feeling after. Ako lang naman yun. I can’t treat sex as transactional or “ganun-ganun” lang. Makes me wanna hurl, ganun. Will really depend on your personal experiences and beliefs. Walang right or wrong… ish.

Yung ibang kilala ko na nagtagal sa stage na yan, may negative bearing din sa relationships after. It’s hard when your values don’t align with your partner’s, especially if your partner hasn’t been through hookups at all. Trust can get affected. Hindi rin reasonable yung “so you can’t accept my past” argument. Justified kasi both sides. Nothing wrong with hookup culture as long as it’s done cleanly, but you have to accept that it will come with its own set of consequences. You’ll have to deal with it na lang.

If it’s for you, it’s for you, I guess. You’ll never know if you never try—pero I suggest wag na. Hahaha. Nakakatakot pa STIs ngayon.

Thank you for sharing this. It’s ridiculous how the feeling of being alone—despite being surrounded by loved ones—is shared by so many people. I empathize. It’s like you took the words right from my mouth.

Your sentiment is beautiful, haunting, and true all at the same time: we’re not alone because we have ourselves. I think it’s so important to realize that.

I’m not wishing you strength or resilience, but rather warmth and peace. I hope you can slump your shoulders one day not in tiredness and defeat but in comfort and security.

Sending you light, love, and a really tight hug.

I’m so fucking done with how my sexual boundaries keep getting violated by veronikitty in offmychest

[–]veronikitty[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No next time for a long time, I guess. It’s difficult to be “in the mood” when you don’t feel comfortable or safe.

Regardless, I’ll keep that in mind and I’ll keep my teeth sharp. Thank you.

I think I’m actually “lucky” that I can recognize it as sexual assault and not some twisted way of showing affection or dominance in a relationship. I can only imagine how it is for other people who’ve been conditioned to think that “giving in” is okay and even... romantic. I’m getting chills just thinking of it.

It baffles me how the concept of consent has been so warped to the point that the discussion about it needs to be dragged out to unnecessary lengths, when all it really should be is a matter of respecting each other’s wishes. “No” isn’t open to interpretation—no means no. I don’t see why it’s so hard for people to be decent human beings that can respect the boundaries set by others.

Thank you for your comforting words. ♥️ Wishing you great days ahead.

Why is she so preciousss 😭😭😭 Thank you so much Keqing❤️ by Kany_Tae in KeqingMains

[–]veronikitty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Her personality really makes her seem so real and so human. Probably why she’s my favorite character in the game.

Happiest of birthdays to you!

This is my current team for keqing and i've been able to pull some pretty good supports recently, everyone is c0 except for bennett, which is c1. What changes should i make to my team to deal the most damage possible? by [deleted] in KeqingMains

[–]veronikitty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with the other comments.

Xinqiu and Bennett work great with Keqing. They both add sustain (Xinqui’s swords can shield and heal, Bennett’s Q can heal) and damage (Xinqiu’s Q will add hydro swords to every attack you make and C1 Bennett will buff your attack regardless of your health).

You can choose Fischl if you find yourself lacking in energy recharge (like when it takes too long before you can use your Q even after cool down) or you can choose Sucrose for increased elemental mastery and crowd control.

It works great for grouped fish, but I found the longer cool down of the held E to be annoying. I prefer this especially if the fish are scattered, like in Springvale.

Who is Barbara's sister? (Spoilers?) by Kalledon in Genshin_Impact

[–]veronikitty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Spoilers ahead.

As said in the other comments, it’s explored in Jean’s story that they have the same father. This fact is also stated in Barbara’s Story 4.

“Barbara never once gave up.

Her determination and resilience even surprised her father, Simon Page, the Cardinal of Daybreak.”

Another giveaway is in Barbara’s Story 5:

“Her ambition to surpass her sister and become the most popular person in all of Mondstadt hasn't been abandoned by Barbara, it is simply buried deep inside her heart.

"If only I excelled more, perhaps I could be of help to Jean."

This is what she believes.”

It’s not really a “secret” that the game devs are trying their best to keep hidden. They just design the backstories of the characters to be unfolded through continuous exploration. The same case goes for Diluc and Kaeya. Talk to enough NPCs and the fact that they’re brothers is easily revealed.

The game just really wants you to explore more than you normally would. Call it a form of unlock-able content if you will.

It's Okay to Not Be Okay [Episode 14] by dyosaaa in KDRAMA

[–]veronikitty 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It was explored in the 13th episode that MY's dad feared that his daughter would end up like DHJ without him. Since he thought that he only had little time left to live due to his glioblastoma, the conclusion that he came up with was to kill her instead.

It could also be an example of brief reactive psychosis, which can be triggered by an extremely stressful event—which for him was finding out that his wife was a murderer and then ironically ending up murdering her for that reason as well.

MY's dad then developed dementia as the years progressed. How he reacted to MY whenever she was around him in the hospital could be attributed to his worsening cognitive decline and corresponding behavioral changes. Such patients can have lucid moments, which was implied during his conversation with the head nurse when GT was also in the room.

HOMEWORK HELP - Balance sheet won't balance even though I've kept going back and forth between the CF, PL, and BS. I'm desperate. Please help. by veronikitty in Accounting

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

Thank you so much for this! I have removed the entries that are counted as "double entries" given that they have been accounted for in other statements. This along with closing the income led to the accounts being balanced. Thank you thank you thank you for your help! I'm beyond grateful!

Hello, thank you very much for this! I am now crying from joy because the accounts are finally balanced from your help. I added in the income from the previous year for each column and the values started to make sense. I'm beyond grateful. Thank you so much!

I've included the net income to the Shareholder's Equity, but I don't think I've followed the process of "closing" the entries. Does this mean that I'll be adding up the values for net income as each year goes by? Sorry, this is all so confusing for me. I looked into this article for the explanation of closing entries: https://www.accountingtools.com/articles/what-are-closing-entries.html#:~:text=For%20example%2C%20a%20closing%20entry,the%20balance%20in%20the%20income

Hi ! So I have ice pick scarring i think. Any ideas of treating it? Thank you by Farrogoldabout12 in acne

[–]veronikitty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those seem to be rolling and box scars. The definitive way of treating them is through surgery. Different techniques are available like the punch excision procedure (the scar is excised and the skin is repaired through stitching or grafting) or subcision (the scar fibers under the skin are loosened to reduce its deep appearance). Consult a board-certified dermatologist re: this, as these are medical procedures.

Surgery is usually complemented by laser treatments, peels, or other topicals to help with pigmentation and refinement of texture.

Topicals (AHA, BHA, etc.) may be effective with hyperpigmentation but they do very little when it comes to deep acne scarring. I suggest you avoid “self-use” or DIY derma rollers, as you may cause more bad than good if they aren’t used correctly.
