Every big budget movie this year is either a reboot, sequel, prequel, remake, or brand extension.

Yup, stopped going to the movies exactly because of this, the last movie I saw in a cinema was Demon Slayer lmfao, hey at least that’s new, but even that’s part of a francise…miss original movies, miss them a lot.

On the music end, I haven’t listened to new music in so long, outside of new releases from bands I’ve been listening to. But I think the idea that big pop hits are the same old same old is something that’s been explored.

For people who live in colder climates, I’d assume harder to heat

All time favorite is Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse Five, but I mostly read nonfiction…

Are you also reading Dracula via the emails?

Oh wow thank you! Added to my book list, much appreciated!

No worries about the length of time. Would you happen to know the book you read? I’d be real interested in reading it! I’m very aware of skin barrier damage (had acne when a teenager and killed the barrier so I kept getting acne until I healed that up!) but never thought about those stinky bits having their own…something to ponder on

Finding out that 70% of all US babies are formula fed really messed me up. I want to blame the parents here for choosing formula over breast milk, but for some, the absolute abyssmal family leave laws of the US makes it difficult for many families to breastfeed their children. This situation not only shows how bad it is to rely on industry for you babies exclusive food for 6 months, but also policies surrounding birth and childrearing in general.

That’s a how to guide for blocking Amazon and their web services! Will friend be sharing the project? Sounds cool!

They really just amped up the dramtics, a lot more fire/movement/explosions than the chapter but still the same castle and theme!

I’ve actually read that using soap everywhere actually might be harming our skin barrier if showering every day. It seems soap on the armpits, genitals, and any stinky parts are the only place you should wash daily.

The article in question: https://web.archive.org/web/20220121065824/https://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/magazine/my-no-soap-no-shampoo-bacteria-rich-hygiene-experiment.html

Also, haven’t read it yet, but “The Joy of Sweat” by Sarah Everts seems like a good look at sweat.

But also, yeah use deodorant around other people. I’d suggest something unscented because really fragrant smells can be just as aggressively stinky (in the opposite way) as natural sweat.

Episode 5 was NOTHING like the manga and I kinda love it for that. Really took advantage of the general action and make it so cool. You can tell Anya was so happy!!!

The first mistake was picking up a random phone call. Can’t get scammed if you never pick up haha!

But yeah, if money is involved, I initiate the call to the person. If you didnt call, don’t give out information!

As someone who lives with their parents in adulthood and is planning on moving soon but racked with guilt about leaving, most of the people I talked to about this seem to say that you need to live your own life. So basically, think only of your own wants and needs and not others. Even tho I’ll be farther than my other sibling, I’ll probably still be the one my parents lean on for support. For me, I always saw myself as taking care of my parents out of my love for them. So I’m not bothered by my siblings lack of care because I’m motivated through my own desire to help and care. Idk if that helps?

Hmm if you just want a plant, the ZZ Plant is a fantastic beginner plant. For vegetable growing, I’d suggest tomatos. I don’t have a flower plant recommendation unfortunately.

Such a great episode! Loved the manga and happy to see it be animated!

1000km is around 621 miles, which is what I get for my car. This is seriously huge but unfortunate it’s a pricey brand rather than something more affordable for consumers like rural and small town residence.

For the second point, do you soak your dishes? That helps get rid of most food and stains or at least makes it extremely easy to scrape off. If you put dishes under/in water immediately you can save effort from scraping off dried food too

Good investment? Nah, that thing loses value like it’s a job. Car investments are worthless from what I’ve seen. On the brightside, the market for used cars is actually in high demand so you’ll get more for a car than in other times. Car buying, if you dont have a downpayment or good credit, is very difficult so sticking with owner sales would be your best bet, or short term rental like mentioned. Alternative, any coworkers who live around you? As someone who carpools with a coworker, it’s not a bad thing to do.

It’s in water bottles too, and tap water. This stuff is everywhere and terrifying to know it can transverse throughout the body it seems.

If I’m being honest, most of those middle housing models are available in my city. I’d say a good third of the houses in the city is duplex/triplex. I think this is more aimed at bigger cities and suburbs which, fair I suppose
