I held out hope and waited for her to grow into a teen but it only got worse! I did match them up because I find them both snobby but why does she literally LOOK punchably rich and arrogant?

I used to be super lazy and not take anything. Just lived with the tight feeling of my face after washing it with shower soap. The only cosmetics I'd take were always deodorant, tooth paste, tooth brush, shower soap. Hair was washed with the shower soap, too.

These days I take proper face wash, my moisturiser, sun screen (I've never gotten a sun burn, so I used to not be diligent about this), floss, and, if it's more than like 3-4 days, shampoo.

If it's for a fancy event like a wedding, I'll bring conditioner and the small number of makeup products I'm going to wear (eyeliner and/or lipstick. I don't do base and have black lashes and eyebrows).

The only cosmetics i usually use that I'm not bringing: (sometimes) conditioner, retinol serum, BHA peel, the clay I use for clay masks and cuticle oil. I use hand cream, but only when I teach, because the chalk dries my out like nobody's business. So I keep the cream at work. I do keep the cuticle oil, retinol and bha at my partner's place because I sometimes stay there for two weeks or longer, remote working.

I think it'll be a different story when I go backpacking!

How about you? What do you bring? What things that you usually use do you not bring?

ETA: actually going away for four days right now, somehow I packed my cuticle oil but forgot my floss! I guess I'm not consistent haha.

Hi there! I've tried researching this myself, but found myself overwhelmed because I'm simply not knowledgable enough.

I've got a 20 year old 50cc vespa. I got this idea in my head that I should convert it to electric, since getting a new vehicle has such a huge environmental impact. The battery is on its last legs, and I'm not so sure about the engine either, and I was thinking I'd convert instead of replacing the existing parts. I'd like to keep it at a similar power bc that way, people who don't have a motorcycle license could legally drive it, too. (If they have a car license.)

Has anyone done anything like this or has some other pointers?

TIA!

A red button. Image says: 'Would you press the button?' [results of pressing the button:] there exists a pill that makes your disability a LOT less debilitating BUT it's near-impossible to get because the non-disabled enjoy taking the pill for fun and the government doesn't want them to.

I hope this is how cross posts work

I know, not all omnis. But this is based on personal experience.

I'm aware that I, the consumer, won't change the world and that we need structural change.

Still, I've been wondering. I've come to learn that plastic recycling is largely a myth/scam, but what about glass and metal recycling? Also, what happens to the plastic coating on metal during recycling?

TIA

I regret nothing. Say what you want.

Edit: I just saw the two typos. If you find them, you're welcome to keep them.

For real. When I can get my skin to clear up, people guess my age accurately. When I have a breakout, I get carded for beer, which is 16+. I'm 27.

Looking young isn't the be all, end all imo. I prefer to look my age. As I get wiser and more experienced and know myself better, I develop white hairs and fine lines and I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm using DDG or searx for all my casual searching, but haven't been able to find a good search engine for scholarly articles specifically. Scrolling through pages upon pages of forum posts and educational stuff for teens/kids is unfortunately too time consuming when I'm specifically looking for research papers. I'd also need to be filtering by year of publication since I need to know what's currently going on in my field, not what was going on 30 years ago.

TIA!

Something about there being a record of what I said that can be checked and rechecked as many times as wanted gives me mad anxiety. Like they can analyse just how weird I talk. With a phonecall, all that remains is memory, and that makes people way more inclined to give me the benefit of the doubt.

Sometimes I take half a day considering just how to address and sign an email. There's such intricate expectations there and no cues from them that would allow me to adjust as needed. It's just guessing with zero clues. At least when I get an immediate response to anything I say I can adjust as I go and kind of match their tone.

Don't get me wrong, I find calls stressful too, but at least the stressing is over when it's done. It's more of a ripping the band-aid off kind of stress. The barrier of actually doing it is higher, but at least i can't really spend all day putting my energy into it as I do with an email.
