Considering joining a d&d group

Based in the northern suburbs but am open to travel. I know near nothing about the game so would love it to be beginner friendly.

[Sun care] Those of you who use gel moisturiser: what sunscreen do you use?

I use gel moisturiser as i am very acne prone. I first used nivea mattifying sunscreen which made me pill a lot. Now i use cetaphil spf face fluid. This pills less but is hard to spread and leaves a white tint that clings to the pores and peach fluff.

[Sun care] Still can’t stop pilling…

I wonder how people manage to put on the recommended two full fingers of spf on their face and go on glowing and even apply makeup. I cleanse thoroughly, then apply a lightweight gel moisturiser. I let it sit for a few minutes and then apply only one finger length of spf by spreading it onto the face in many small dots and then gently tapping it in. Even with this amount i get pilling. I use the nivea shine control mattifying sunscreen as i am acne prone. Does anyone have tips? I would appreciate it!

Snow globe

What such dashing flocks

So hastily fly

Rattled by a mill

The low globe does tire.

•

Most hardly a weave

Does the wool produce

No garment is made

No fine form induced.

•

What rhyme could it tell

And what could it count?

To undo the knot

What joys would it shout!

•

Its time is not now.

The whirling will pass.

It humbly must wait

And bide well its stance.

•

No ease it may seek

On self not insist

In difficulty

It does though resist.

•

Yet soon the scratches

Are surely puttied

And slowly the knot

In patience unweaved.

•

That hand it shall serve

In difficulty

The reward turns out

Wondrously holy.

Map for my Christian high fantasy novel

Got removed last time because i didnt add enough lore so lets try this again.

The main cast are from the Kingdom of Gora; Alka, Hisiera, and Jattor are small and insignificant towns that would otherwise not be charted. Before the king of Lyng dies, he entrusts Pinn and Ipp to his friend, the king of Gora because of agricultural struggles in those regions. However, before his death he appoints a regent for the rest of Lyuk who soon becomes greedy for power and riles the people up against Gora to not only claim Pinn and Ipp but the rest of Gora as well. She employs a spellsmith who creates a seemingly unstoppable weapon: one that poisons the opponent’s blood in battle. The small troupe coming from the towns mentioned above group in the Goran school of trades where they solve a problem with wit and precision which leads the prince to appoint them as agents not easily suspected who will have to venture through harsh countryside to Romkutta and beyond in search of a rare spellsmith to formulate a shield to counter Lyuk’s deadly poison.

I added agricultural regions for the sake of coherence and understanding politics and interactions between regions. Perhaps I should add where animals grow too ;} ... I recommend Nortantis as it is a free app. However, I did have to temporarily adjust my screen size/layout in the settings to use it properly as my screen is too small. This is like an ancient paper aesthetic but there are also other formats. I didn't add them (yet) but in my physical notebook I made notes of all relevant rulers and population sizes of cities and kingdoms.

I look like an easy target

I dont know how it is in other countries but here you occasionally see MLMers outside retailers trying to sell you some sort of “subscription” or card or something. Once, they even contradicted themselves in conversation, admitting they were trying to recruit people. With me, it seems like people can smell out my personality like the plague. I think it has been that way since primary school. I am timid, sensitive, naive, weak, and tend to make excuses for people. So these MLMers will lurk outside the store and not talk to enyone inside but come inside to only talk to me. They come with this charismatic persona and will not stop pestering in hope that i will feel guilty to turn them down. The deceitful flattery also grieves me. Unfortunately, I have given them some banking info because of my inferiority complex, and my bank still needs to get back to me about a new card which i should follow up on. These people take advantage of a culture in which people are generally friendly. I fear i will turn out like a grouchy old lady, not knowing if someone is genuine and ethical or not. I have been told i can always say no with a smile but this is draining; it doesnt exactly work. I dont know what to do.

The danger of hyperfixations

Hyperfixations can be dangerous. Im not focusing on lock-ins the day before and assignment is due after procrastinating for a month, though that obviously isnt unproblematic either.

I am talking about things that take up all your thoughts and free time. I recently read a comic with 100+ chapters in 2 days. 2 days. And it consumes all you think about. This can bring you trouble at work and more importantly lead to neglecting the people around you.

One of the greatest menaces as you may know is our beloved hypnotist rectangle 📱. It is programmed to keep you scrolling and if you lack impulse control, it can be even more of a problem.

It is a downward spiral for me that has led to many problems in my life. It is one of the things i have no grip on at this point, and i dont know how to change that. Meds dont work and it hasnt been effectively addressed in therapy. I have a session today, though there is more that i need to talk about in this session. What are your thoughts?

What is your experience with infp x Audhd/ neurodiversity?

Since infp tend to live in their own heads, i think mental issues can feel very real. We also may feel out of touch with other people as it is, so neurodiversity might elevate this feeling. Executive dysfunction may also be worse as we are more likely to be procrastinators. How has your experience been?

Products for high porosity damaged irish hair

I got this butter for my damage prone hair and it makes it so much easier to brush through but weighs my hair down, getting rid of the curls/ waves.
I only used a little bit.

| like to use a silicone serum to isolate the hairs less the raised cuticles rub against each other and break.

My question:

  1. Does this butter by schwarzkopf actually build bonds that lasts?
  2. can i apply this silicone serum with vitamin e and uv filter on top of it?
    1am less concerned about the loss of curls (though i would like this addressed) and more about the prevention of damage.
    Id appreciate your feedback!
