Are skincare routines worth it?
  • I think people over complicate skin care, but then again my skin isn’t fussy so I don’t know the struggle. I think SPF is the most important thing because UV is basically the biggest cause for wrinkles. So if you want to start simple, just a morning face moisturizer with SPF is great.

    What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
  • That is absolutely what follows. I am doing MUCH better, I’ve had 2.5 years sober in the last 3 years because I thought I was “cured” and started “moderating” last summer. The stop drinking subreddit was amazing insight and help. It’s on lemmy but the only posts are the daily checkin. I should start being more active on it to boost it.

  • You are correct. Thank you for holding me accountable. Sometimes I can be shortsighted, as it is human nature, and not consider the whole story. Sorry OP for coming off as a dick. I am empathetic to your situation and I hope you find some justice and your friend and her child can find a way to leave safely.

    What is the most unhelpful advice you have received?
  • “Just have one or two and then stop” when telling a friend I’m an alcoholic. Well shit, thanks! That never even crossed my mind!

  • Why doesn’t your “friend” stick up for you to this asshole? If legal routes don’t work, you can always find some sort of petty revenge to make his life a living hell. If you’re into that kind of thing.

    /r/AccidentalRenaissance moderators have all resigned. The subreddit has permanently shut down and moved to Lemmy.
  • Well to hell with Reddit anyways. We’re all here because we all were on thin ice that broke, so welcome :) hope you find the community and discussion you’re looking for here. In my mind, Reddit seems to have enacted their version of martial law with the admins forcing mod teams’ hands. The company has lost site of the true spirit of the site. They are planting in mods that will bow down and do as they’re told.

  • Haha that’s okay! Thanks for the suggestion. I know my instance is not defederated. It could also just be user error, I’ll mess around in browser a bit more and see what I can find out

  • In Memmy, click “search”, type in the community name, and click “search communities”

    The cool thing is you don’t even have to type the whole community name. I was able to just put “accident” as my search and it came up. So click the comm and then click the subscribe button

    What is the craziest thing that's ever happened in your life?
  • Did something trigger the psychotic break? Did you previously have interest in the Russian mafia that led to you believing it was that specific organization coming after you? I’m glad you were able to get help and treatment!

    What exercises can I do to strengthen my willpower?
  • I’ve experienced that as well with emails. I’ve gotten faster over the years because of the amount I’ve had to send but have definitely spent 30+ minutes writing some of them. I will write it and then read it out loud to myself to make sure it makes sense and, like you said, doesn’t sound rude or aggressive. Realistically, no matter how careful you are people still might misinterpret it. I’ve never been diagnosed or sought to be diagnosed with ADHD so it’s hard to say. I’m too stubborn to seek a diagnosis and try meds because it’s just one more thing for me to forget to do 😅

    What are your favorite hobbies or time killers?
  • This is great info since I’ve had my eye on dark parks in Michigan for quite some time! I will definitely be adding this area to my list of possibilities to check out this fall. Gonna let the summer pass before doing too much outdoor things. Tho I’m sad I’ll miss the puffballs; I’ve been interested in foraging. The real bummer is we just sold our Tacoma so we no longer have a vehicle capable of off-roading. But that’s okay, camping and stargazing are enough for now :)

    Does the reddit style format breed toxicity?
  • I got majorly downvoted once for sharing my opinion on not wanting to travel to a foreign country alone as a woman. A lot of flippant comments too. Like okay, this is not the sub for me. I still can’t believe I was attacked like I was.

    What are your favorite hobbies or time killers?
  • I’ve got most of those things already. I need to procure some sort of small greenhouse-like chamber to maintain humidity. For my actives, I covered my tubs with plastic bags which worked fantastic but not sure that would work with gourmet. Perhaps this will be my winter project later this year!

  • I just graduated optometry school and I feel like I've lost a bit of my identity. I didn't have much free time to focus on the things that make me happy and now I'm lacking inspiration. I can't work until my license is approved so I've had days of doing nothing since May 7. It's been great but it's starting to get boring; I can only play so much Zelda and doom scroll so often.

    So whatcha got? What do you like to do? What are some hobbies or passions everyone has? What are non-drinking related activities to do with a partner or friends?
