Ditto. Hated them as a kid, then as a young adult I could tolerate them cooked, now I could eat them raw (on/in something). Tastes change, man.

Same thing with mushrooms and mustard.

Y’all ever watch the og Alvin and the Chipmunks movie where the Chipmunks race the Chipettes in hot air balloons while unknowingly being smugglers? It holds up pretty well, considering.

Not necessarily about fresh snow. Old snow packs down into hard, slick ice and sometimes fresh snow gives you way more traction. Depends on the temperature.

I’ve been to two. One was very small and one was in a giant stadium. I went because I wanted to hear the local politician talk in the first one. The stadium one I was kinda dragged to but I didn’t mind, it was a Bernie rally.

Never really liked her but mostly don’t think about her.

What causes skin cancer, UV radiation, can be higher on cloudy days. Dermatologists across the board recommend sunscreen every day.

But I agree some people don’t need to do anything except sunscreen and they’re fine. Some people choose to do extra even if they maybe don’t need it, for a variety of reasons. My whole point is that there’s no need to dunk on someone who chooses to take care of their skin in a different way than you need to. You don’t know what OP faces and you yourself said more products can be warranted if you have any problems like acne or whatever.

I acknowledge that your point is some people don’t need to do anything extra though I believe we disagree about the frequency of people who need more skin care products and who might benefit from a basic routine similar to OP’s. I think most would benefit and you think it’s not necessary for most people. We can genuinely agree to disagree without ragging on OP or people who have skincare routines in general.

What? OP’s routine is fairly minimal.

I agree with you about showering every day but you really should use at bare minimum a cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen.

The first gets dirt and grime and the world off your face, the second replenishes the moisture in your skin, and the last protects your skin. Pretty simple.

Adding in an active like an AHA or tretinoin is only if you have problems (acne would be an example but there are other issues) or if you care about anti-aging.

Some people have like 20 step routines and more and I think THAT is excessive and sometimes can irritate skin more. I once when down the rabbit hole of too many products and had horrible rebound issues because of it.

I used to have bad acne until I found a routine similar to OPs and the right combination of skincare can dramatically improve your skin. For health reasons mostly but healthy skin looks better too.

I’m not trying to attack you, I just ask that you don’t knock it just because you’ve never tried it. Maybe you were genetically blessed to not need anything except water and bar soap. Lucky you! I’m envious , truly.

But some people need extra help or just like to pamper their skin. Taking special care of your hygiene isn’t something to dig on someone about, or say it’s not healthy when you’re not well versed in the world of skincare.

Morning - rinse with water, apply Kose sunscreen, maybe a mattefying primer if I don’t have time to wait for the sunscreen to sink in.

Evening- wash with Cetaphil cleanser and a microfiber cloth, maybe use a toner if I feel like it, purito calming moisturizer then a small amount of tretinoin. Maybe sometimes add in snail mucin if I’m extra dry.

Used to have bad hormonal cystic acne but some meds and tret have totally fixed it.

Severe treatment resistant depression here, not able to be controlled through medication, will never feel good yadda yadda.

I find goal setting is very important. “I just have to make it to X” then just move the goal post.

My kitty is soft and cuddly.

Ok I just read the whole thing and it is very compelling.

Our local Mayor is a millennial. Everyone on the city council is boomer or older. The boomers are children playing highschool politics with obvious smear campaigns, audience plants, and are clamoring about “disrespect” that the mayor showed when forced by the media to make a statement about the councilman doing something so egregious in a meeting it made national news.

I feel bad for the Mayor and hate those city council fucks. But I live outside the city boundary so even though we’re affected by their policies we can’t vote or anything.

It’s horribly shameful.

It never occurred to me before this question but Fossilesque is cool as hell.

Literally anything. They don’t have to exaggerate their mouth sounds either. I have misophonia.

We’ve used kwikset dumb locks (no app) and never had one fail. We only had to change the batteries once and that was because I was paranoid that it had been 3 years, not because the batteries were dying. When it fails it is supposed to fail “locked” but again, we’ve never had it fail. We did discover to use the good name brand batteries though.

Don’t get me wrong, we still have keys just in case, but holy crap the freedom of mind is great. My partner has severe anxiety and used to check the locks 6+ times a day but it auto locks now and they don’t have to worry about it. I think they only check now before bed.

This is why we got keypads. Never getting locked out because of the I-thought-you-had-them or any other reason.

Look, it was the 80s/90s. We had one TV. My parents were not going to watch kid shit during their down time so we watched whatever they felt like watching. Thus, I have too many to list here.

But for context apparently Alien and Aliens made me squeaky and giggly/happy as a baby. To this day I sometimes have bizarrely detailed dreams with xenomorph subplots.
