Location and tracking have been turned off for months in my phone settings and the app. My phone number is not connected to my profile and contact permission is turned off. So why do I have a local tab AND am seeing mostly local content on my FYP?

I just started my yearly (lol) rewatch of Parenthood and I noticed several scenes were edited out of the pilot. Is this common for paramount??

I read a book a long time ago where the narrator recalls something someone told them—maybe an aunt or grandma?—about how everyone stops traffic for a few minutes once in their life at their funeral procession. I swear it was mentioned in the beginning and then at the end. I can’t remember anything else. I thought it was Perks of Being a Wallflower but I don’t think that’s right. Does this exist? Did I confuse a movie for a book instead?

My skin hates basically all the ingredients I need to use. I’m super sensitive and dry, and am dealing with closed comedones again that will not go away. I wanted to try retinol again. Hero’s gentle one is the only one that didn’t make my skin start burning after a single use but it appears to have been discontinued. Is there anything comparable in terms of gentleness and consistency (it felt satisfyingly thick but not heavy).

I’ve seen some people say the 25% at-home peel works for closed comedones resistant to other things. I have very sensitive skin that is covered in CCs and mandelic acid serum is the only thing so far that has made even a small difference. I’m interested in the peel and I have a few questions:

1. Has anyone with sensitive skin used it? Did it irritate you?
2. Is it safe to use it in the summer and with the mandelic acid serum or is that too much?
3. What serum or moisturizer do you use post-peel?? Thank you!

Does anyone have Frontier and what’s your experience? I work from home and need to switch from Xfinity. Thank you!

I just started beginner group tennis lessons. I’d love to practice and have been looking at rebounders. There are several on Amazon but the reviews are all over the place. Some say they’re an amazing way to practice, others say the ball comes back too low or they break within days. Does anyone have experience with any?

Some examples:

Trying to remember a card game we played on the family computer. It was a CD. Late 90s or early 00s. There were multiple card games to choose from, I specifically remember Hearts was included.

The biggest thing I can remember is a lizard. Was he the player or the computer, I don’t know but I can see him perfectly in my head. I THINK there were other animals (maybe more reptiles?) that were the other computer players but this was not a kid’s cartoony style. I remember it being more dark and moody than kids game. Maybe with a dark red velvet background. It did not have like a fake animated table the way some games did.

I’ve thought of it randomly over the years and am dying to know. I can even hear the sound of the card shuffling.

I’ve had dozens of sweatshirts and shirts ruined by my washing machine and I don’t know what to do. They come out looking like grease or wet spots. I cleaned the machine and detergent basket with white vinegar. I don’t use fabric softener (and have never used it in this washer). What can I do?

ETA: it’s a samsung activewaterjer superspeed model wa50r5400aw. Bought it in 2021.

When the bring the puppets to schools or other off-set locations, how are they hiding the puppeteers?? I imagine a 1st grader would not be having fun if there was a puppeteer just off camera. Wouldn’t that make them upset? but they can’t hide under stages and whatnot like they can on the set of Sesame Street.

Wondering if anyone has a similar experience.

I have two major problems that I’ve been dealing with for more than 10 years: extreme dryness/irritation and closed comedones. I think the dryness is causing the comedones but everything used to treat one seems to make the other issue worse.

I get perioral dermatitis. Used to be a random thing but since having a baby 18 months ago it’s been about monthly. I cut out SLS and use the most basic of products to keep it at bay.

My skin feels like it literally will not accept hydration. I put hydrating products on and it feels like alligator skin and burns even when I haven’t used an active in months. I also have eczema all over and have since childhood.

Is it possible my barrier is not as naturally strong and doesn’t soak in moisture and hydration and that’s causing the comedones? What could I do?

I have a video call with a dermatologist this week but over 10 years I’ve been to dozens in 3 different states and spent thousands on products so I’m not sure I have any hope for this new one. I am really struggling with what I look like and not wanting to go out because of the comedones and dry patches.

My routine (hesitant to include this because I’ve tried SO MANY recommended things but this is what I’m doing now)
- neutrogena hydro boost face scrub or vanicream face wash
- neutrogena hydro boost serum and gel (these 3 neutrogena products are the only thing that solved my comedones the first time but not this time)
- I have tower 28 barrier cream and dr jart but don’t think either do anything. I love LRP cicaplast but I think it makes the comedones worse
- I use zinc (diaper rash cream) on the perioral dermatitis at night
