Does anyone know a hygiene sub that adheres to more typical hygiene standards, rather than an extreme?

An important start, I have OCD. And that manifests a lot in my hygiene practices. It's something I am working on a lot in therapy, and with both a psychologist and psychiatrist. I still want to be a hygienic person, but at a more regular level.

All that being said, my psychologist to a look at this sub and has advised I don't come on here as a lot of the dominant opinions she has said can lean into diagnosable behaviors when added together.

So... I'm looking for a sub that might be a bit more chill? Still talking about hygiene, but not being super stressed about it. If that makes sense.

Does anyone know of any other hygiene subs?

Does anyone else find it sort-of-wild when people on this sub suggest changing a middle name honor name for "flow"?

One thing I find really wild is how often people in this sub suggest changing an honor middle name into a different name just to improve the flow of the overall name (like... recommending Jane instead of Janet or Elizabeth instead of Bethany).

Maybe I'm in the minority on this, but it feels like such an odd suggestion to me. If the goal is to honor a specific person, then changing the name isn't a small tweak. Jane and Janet are different names. The alternative may have no connection at all to the loved one you are naming the baby after.

Of course if the parents themselves are open to using a variant, that's great. But it's just wild to me how often people assume?

Middle names also aren't said together with first names all that often in everyday life, so I think I'd almost always prioritize the loved ones name over achieving a certain rhythm.

What happened in the Cowboys tent tonight?

There was a commotion of some kind, and saw a bunch of staff looking really upset.

On 91.7 they were talking about the reason the Oilers use the song La Bamba, and the various different bits of history and attachment to it, and talked about Ben Stelter's history with it. But instead of saying his name they kept saying "the dead kid". I get that they are just riffing and talking on the radio, but can we use his name? The phrasing seemed so inappropriate to me for a broadcast.
