Everything going on has got me down, I need a break. What's something good that's happened in your life recently?
  • I finally unlocked the confidence to be the version of me that I want to be. Got the haircut I've always wanted, have it dyed the colour I want, I'm getting a new piercing soon, and I'm planning out the tattoo I'm going to get once I have some spare money. It's been a journey to get here, but I'm so fucking happy with who I am and I no longer feel the need to apologize for being comfortable as my self.

  • Help finding right moisturizer
  • I've found really good luck with CeraVe (but not the one with sunscreen in it, I use a separate sunscreen product) and Vanicream moisturizers. I used to use aveeno, but like you said, my face would feel oily a while after using it.

  • Sleeping position
  • Wait, I've heard the opposite. Lay facing right to aid your stomach in digesting things and pushing it out of the stomach, instead of letting it lay in the stomach and potentially gurgle it's way up

  • Voyager, a lemmy client inspired by the apollo reddit client
  • I swapped to Voyager a while ago and never looked back. I tried Jerboa, Liftoff, Sync, and Connect and Voyager just felt the best. The only feature I miss from the reddit app I used to use is swiping from left to right to go from the comments of a post back to the homepage I was on, but everything else is great.

  • Emetophobia. Fear of vomiting. I'm super nauseated just thinking about it to type it out. It led to a semi eating disorder when I was young because I didn't trust any food to be properly kept or cooked. Took a food safety class for work and learned proper food handling and preparation, so I eat a lot better now. But I definitely come off as rude if I don't trust the person that's cooking food for me, like my partner's family, or friends that don't understand.

    I can't help friends or loved ones when they're sick if that's one of their symptoms, which sucks. If someone has a nasty cough that gags them I go into a panic. If I hear someone get sick I instantly start crying, sweating, shaking, and my mind gets fuzzy with panic.

    I really hate it. I always thought I had arachnophobia, but I just really really don't like spiders. I don't get the mind numbing panic that, to me, would classify it as a phobia.

    And yeah, because of the phobia, I haven't gotten sick like that since I was 8, and I was born in the 80s. Plenty of fearful times, but cold water and pepto helped me through.

    I gotta go dissociate on some meme posts for a bit now.

  • What are some video games that made you a better gamer?
  • Apex Legends really honed my skills with shooters on keyboard and mouse. I always thought I was terrible at shooters. Turns out it was just the controller I was bad with. I always played with friends and it greatly helped our tactical communication and snap decision making skills too. We found out who the natural shot callers were and who can't be trusted to make the calls in a tense situation, lol

  • Wanna buy a gaming laptop 2
  • I have an msi GE75 raider laptop. I have a powerful desktop, but I use my laptop when I travel away from home; roughly 3 months out of the year I'm using my laptop for gaming. It gets the job done for me, I'm able to play world of warcraft at a fairly high level without issue and it's been running acts 1 and 2 of Baldur's Gate decently. However, I wouldn't recommend it. I wish I could go back and get the Lenovo Legion I was looking at. I have no experience with a Legion, but everything I've read since purchasing the msi has made me regret it.

    My msi has a TON of bloatware on it that I can't get rid of and it all slows the laptop down significantly on startup. It also likes to turn automatic updates for said bloatware back on, as well as make them run on startup if I've been allowed to turn them off. The keyboard is also garbage.
