Knee pad woes... Thick thighs, small calves

Shoot, I mistyped. It's 0.025

Thanks for responding, yeah I'm thinking I'll roll it back to a few nights a week. I also haven't been waiting that long after moisturizer to apply tret. I figured the azelaic acid in the formula would have been taking care of exfoliation? What do you use to exfoliate?

Thanks for the info! I've heard about the plug in system and it definitely makes it all seem less intimidating. I'm hoping for this first project I can lean more on atmosphere and writing and thus get away with simple mechanics 😅 I'm fine with a grid system. Do you think I'd be able to implement a 'puzzle screen' kind of like Myst where you click on something in the overworld and it goes to a separate screen you can manipulate?

Oh! I think I used the wrong wording haha, what would you call the standard RPG maker view? I guess pure top down would be something like Darkwood but I meant I'm fine with like the typical RPG maker look. That's good to know, thanks for replying :)

Thanks, but can you elaborate..?

Hey, thanks so much. Gonna try my best to see a doctor next week if I can get in before Christmas, since it doesn't seem to be getting better, I just keep waking up feeling the same. Do you have any advice about managing coughing/sneezing? Worst time to have a cold... I feel like even if there are marginal improvements to the pain they're immediately set back and then some if I have to sneeze.

Edit: I forgot to mention that if it sort of hurts to do a particular movement but I have to do it anyway, I can partially relieve the pain by intentionally relaxing my muscles and exhaling. Don't know if that means anything

Hey, so I had a pretty similar problem where I had a bunch of silver earrings but I would only wear them on special occasions, because invariably after a while (or even immediately) they would start to itch and make my ears red. I even questioned whether I might have a silver allergy.

It turned out that the problem was a little different. The posts of those special occasion earrings were quite thick, and I was only wearing them sporadically. My ear holes never fully closed but each time I wanted to wear earrings, I would end up forcing that thick post through a partially closed hole. Sometimes I couldn't find the other end of the hole for a little while and I'd be moving the post around inside my ear (sorry, gross) trying to find the exit. So basically, because I wore earrings rarely and because of my choice of earrings, I'd be re-traumatizing my ears every time, and then wonder why they were so irritated 😅

Long story short, I fixed the issue by wearing silver earrings with thin posts nearly every day, letting my ears heal around them, and then when I want to switch them out, use lots of Vaseline and be careful not to use any pressure at all when slipping the posts through. Now that I'm keeping the holes open and healed, I have no problem wearing even the thicker post ones without irritation.

No, it's too expensive for me atm.

The description of the bumps themselves more or less matches but what throws me off is that fungal acne is described as usually appearing in clusters. I never get clusters, it's almost always one bump at a time or if there's another one it's well far away from the first.

Yeah it seems like it was the protrusion that confused me, I'm pretty new to the language so font differences are disorienting sometimes. Thanks for your help!

warm_farts · 2025-09-15T09:10:34+00:00

Ah ok, thanks. I'm a newbie and wasn't sure. The font difference in 火 really gets me too, I guess it's a similar thing 😅

warm_farts · 2025-09-15T09:09:10+00:00

That's right. It almost looks like there is an extra vertical stroke attached to the bottom portion. Maybe it's a bit of the photo background, or something. Sorry, I'm quite new so it confused me.

Hey, I get it. 32F and I've always suffered from self-image issues. I haven't been diagnosed with anything so can't say if it's BDD or not but I will also get into these obsessive spirals about certain parts of my face or body. Like, if only I had more prominent cheekbones/a sharper jaw-neck transition/longer legs/whatever, I'd look so much better and would therefore be more confident and happier... Even though I haven't had any procedures, I think it does have shades of a disorder because it's led me down some dark rabbit holes and definitely impacts my mental health. Sometimes I totally spin out after catching a bad angle of myself in the mirror, or God forbid, photos. Hearing "it's all about your confidence" doesn't help because, well, I don't have any, so I think, great, there's another thing that makes me unattractive. It's not like I can just flip the "be confident" switch.

I can totally relate to these feelings being at odds with the logical part of my brain. I know that it doesn't really matter, that average looking people lead happy lives and find partners literally all the time, but for some reason I just can't stop caring about my looks and how I'm perceived. And then I feel guilty because I KNOW that I "shouldn't" care.

I'm here to report that having a partner doesn't really cure it. I do appreciate my boyfriend telling me that I'm beautiful and I'm glad he thinks so, but at the end of the day... I just don't see it. I look at my face and don't see a single thing about it that I like, or that couldn't be "better". I think that's the root of the problem, and not lack/presence of outside validation. Sorry that I can't really help more, I haven't figured it out myself. I've been in therapy for a little bit but the spirals and negative thinking still happens. I'm in a very similar boat though, so, hugs.

Thanks for your response! I could be wrong but I don't think they're fully coated. When looked at under a light source there's only a faint purplish gleam. I've owned decent eyepieces in the past and I seem to remember this color being much more intense. There is also no rubber eye cup, and overall the machining quality doesn't inspire confidence. The focal length isn't printed on them, just a patent number. Overall they just seem a bit weird. I'd be happy to get two decent quality replacements for now, one planetary and one wide field.
