I get flaky under eyes most likely from tretinoin use. I usually use aquaphor on my off nights, but I find myself needing something every night and don’t want to risk chemical burn from the auquaphor + tretinoin combo.

Almost every eye cream I’ve tried has given me these tiny red dots. They aren’t itchy, but they’re like clogged pores that never come to a head. My guess is folliculitis? I’ve been trying lightweight serum/gel formulas but they all seem to cause the problem.

Products I’ve tried:
AXIS-Y Vegan Collagen Eye Serum
cocokind Peptide Fine Line Gel
Ordinary Caffeine Eye Serum

Eye creams with traditionally moisturizing options for dry skin (shae butter, silicones etc) I tend to be reactive to as well.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Hello! I am looking for a monitor to put in my home office that will be compatible with my macbook. I'm picky about scaling being the same/similar and it being at least 120Hz. I do a lot of coding/bioinformatics so I want to keep the text super crisp.

Honestly, Ive been looking at the BenQ MA320UG as it seems good for coding and other normal web surfing stuff. I'm also wondering if the ASD is just worth it in terms of compatibility and image quality. I'm super new to this so any info helps!

this is kinda sad and embarrassing. but i haven’t been able to get myself to do anything. my space is a mess and it bugs me, im putting off work, i need groceries. cleaning and grocery shopping is so much.

I don’t think Im depressed, but it’s gotten to the point where feeding myself feels like a chore. i’m in grad school and i live alone. i have all these things i want to do (set up my home office, declutter my house, read), but all i can do is sleep and im exhausted.

how tf do i stop this?? is this burnout? I don’t want to do anything that isn’t interesting to me and it’s starting to really piss me off 💀💀

Hello! I live in an older house where most of the outlets are not grounded. I recently got a turntable/radio/cd player and it needs a three prong outlet. I’m reading the adapters aren’t necessarily safe for long term use and utilizing a gcfi is a safer long term fix.

That being said, I don’t think the voltage on the turntable is that high? It’s in my home office, but I only have a macbook so nothing super crazy. Is an adapter ok in this scenario?

this is kind of dumb, but my boyfriend has grown a very full mustache. I’ve never dated someone with a mustache like his. I think he looks super good with it, but how the hell do you kiss someone with a mustache???

It feels like a toothbrush and I don’t know how to deal with the sensation. It’s almost so distracting that it’s the only thing I think about when I try to initiate any physicality whatsoever 😭

I am very very very new to this, so forgive me if this is a dumb question.

Does anyone code at local coffee shops/on public wifi. I’m a graduate student and usually do my computational work in lab, but I need a change of scenery and I’m not productive at home.

If I’m using a VPN and ssh into my workstation, how vulnerable is my data?

edit to add: i know this is silly and i’m overly paranoid. I did also want to know how secure VPN’s and ssh is.

My birds forget they can fly. I will literally have to toss them up in the air to get them to fly and make sure they’re exercising.

Little lazy freaks. How did I end up with birds that don’t like flying?
