Malachite_Dragon posted:I dimly recall some study or other that found actual Italian-born people did not give nearly as much of a poo poo about the "sanctity" of it as their descendants with hairs up their rear end about it overseas. Is it edible? Does it taste okay? Good enough! That's fairly standard, immigrant communities of any stripe tend to end up a bit weird and insular and hyper-nationalist about wherever they came from. Like the guy posting on here, I think, who as an <x>-American and going on his own community thought putting actually-Irish and English people next to each other at the dinner table must inevitably result in a fistfight or possibly a stabbing.

The reasoning for this was his horrible skin condition which he claimed was soap sensitivity.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:The glaring lack of information is whether the book was assigned for that class. Like if he's just getting some homework done in the car while she's sleeping, that's a weird reaction. If he's seeking out the book on his own that's, uh, problematic at best. Yeah there is a LOT of missing information, and the way he words it makes it sound like he sought out the book separately, because he was already taking an econ class. All the comments are saying that he's NTA because "she should listen to other perspectives" and "she shouldn't be screaming at you" while I'm wondering 1, what really happened, and 2, was this the last straw of him being an absolute rear end in a top hat about things.

there's a level of mental illness where one avoids hygiene in oneself and one's household, and then acclimate such that they turn their senses off to live with it. depending on what they have, some can get kinda resentful of others for pointing out that isn't normal. Admitting it isn't normal would shatter the status quo and force change. Instead, they'll lie they are normal or partaking in normal hygiene rituals (when obviously not) to cover over.

Yeah none of the things he was doing were actually beneficial to his problem, it was just an excuse to be monumentally lazy. He’s in his 40’s now, still lives at home, still wears clothes from 20 years ago. Somehow ekes out a living tutoring under the table.

I still won't talk about those books to anyone because of how angry they made me, a decade on.

If you’re looking for an A++ lip balm, yes you can use it as a mask but no, no god or man will stop me from using it when I don’t have lipstick on.

Aveeno has worked well for my Dry Skin Issues too. I've also had good luck with Ivory for body wash. Cetaphil is also great for super sensitive skin although yes it does have a really weird texture to some people.sullat posted:Yeah, famous crank JRR Tolkien used to write letters in latin to the pope, complaining about 'these newfangled languages' and how they had no place in the Catholic church. This is legit hilarious and seems really on-brand for Tokien. Solkanar512 posted:AITA for being disappointed in my SO for not taking a day off, getting into a fight and spoiling a surprise proposal? This person is super loving annoying even aside from the fact that obviously they're kind of an idiot. Some people have specific days of the week where it sucks to be off work, some people have really limited PTO and have to plan way in advance, etc. I just find really grating that attitude of "oh I was going to do something nice for you, all of this was for you, but now that it's not working out exactly 100% the way I envisioned, you're so selfish and I am so hurt." Like, if you want to do something nice for somebody, surprisingly that involves taking their wants and needs into consideration too.

Anything Aveeno has worked pretty well, BUT don’t discount plain ol Vaseline for really lovely patches. Yeah I'll third the suggestion of Aveeno, as well as the Sanex Zero range. But even within those brands you have to check the ingredients to see if they contain SDS/SLS/laureth sulfate/lauryl sulfate/dodecyl sulfate (all the same thing). It can vary from product to product and between geographic regions. Of course, you may not have the same sensitivity in which case I recommend these brands regardless. And wash your clothes and sheets with non-bio detergents, can't stress that one enough. And invest in a few sets of silk pillowcases  If you're using some CVS brand or Dial bodywash you shouldn't be surprised that it absolutely strips your skin of all oils and kills you - you'd be better off washing in dish soap at that point. And finally, for the love of god get a nice simple, SPF30 moisturizer like CeraVe and use it every day. People will tell you "hey your skin looks really nice" .

I’m guessing the multiple times is because each time you read them, your brain would just push large portions of the book out because so much stupid hurt? Then you’d start working on your paper and realize you needed to amalgam something you only vaguely remembered, but had no clue where it was? Like, you kept disassociating every time you read it?

It was more connecting dots on what they did in the Reagan and Bush admins, what their stances were with their stated goals of PNAC, how everything coalesced after 9/11 into finishing their unfinished war under any circumstances including falsification, how neither seemed that surprised by 9/11, and just losing myself in their mindset reading that poo poo over and over and over again. There was a lot of other stuff outside those books, but those books are just two absolute monsters patting themselves on the back for how awesome they are. You only recommend books you like to people, unless there's a professional context to do so. MrQwerty fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Jan 25, 2023 |

From the comments:OP posted:I got a DUI about a year and a half ago, so I had to quit cold turkey or risk going to jail (I had a blow machine) and my licence was recoked. That was my wake up call. When I got off of probation in September of last year, I did start drinking again but not as nearly much or as heavily as I used to. There was one incident which I'm not proud of that has happened since then but nothing serious other than that. I feel like I'm doing much better. I haven't really talked to my daughter about it. Don't worry, OP's alcoholism is totally in the past! Why can't the daughter get over her depression in two years like her drunken mother got over her drinking after 35?
