I saw an r/vent post about people looking for products to fix their problems instead of solving them themselves and while I mostly agree with the premise, they used curly hair as an example and that was where they lost me.

>I use a wide-toothed comb and comb my hair out in the shower, and then use a fine-bristled brush to get every single strand of hair untangled. Then I dry my hair with a T-shirt as towels are too rough for drying curly hair.

This was, word for word, the routine they suggested. This was one I tried before and couldn’t get to work without product. Even curl cream with no gel didn’t work for me, as my curls couldn’t last until next wash day.

Is it wrong for OP’s friend to ask for good curly hair products vs OP’s no-product routine? Or is OP right that curly hair products are ‘lazy’ and you can get well defined curls without them? I’ve always heard some kind of product is necessary so am pretty sure product isn’t just for ‘lazy’ people, but I thought it’d be an interesting discussion to have here.

PS: OP never mentioned any of the standard products (gel, cream, etc). Just a defining brush they thought was unnecessary. Which I felt weirder. Not sure if OP neglected to mention those products or if OP doesn’t use them at all.

So two questions:

1. ⁠⁠Assuming OP includes them as products, do you consider ⁠the products that go into your hair ‘lazy’? IE gel, cream, etc. (I’m assuming shampoo and conditioner is implied regardless of what curly products you use⁠)
2. If products OP are referring to are only defining brushes, do you consider those ‘lazy’?

I made this post about a week ago about a super flat cobbleverse world, but am looking to expand the world to include all regions and enough structures for a full experience.

What should I add to this world? I currently have an ancient city, the end stronghold, a ruined portal, a few villages of various sized, all the kanto gyms, and the kanto legendaries. Only overworld structures needed, as super flat already generates the nether and end as normal.

The map of the world

I made a superflat water world so I can cobbleverse as a sailor in an all ocean world.

Did this by creating a superflat world with the 'water world' preset and teleporting around spawning in all the neccesary structures (+ stuff I thought would be nice). It has gyms villages, department stores, legendary monuments, and more.

I'm thinking of manually unlocking the other regions so I can spawn those in but I don't know what structures (besides the gyms) would be good to add.

I'd link the file but I don't know how to best share minecraft worlds and I wasn't sure if anyone would even be interested anyway.

(Just thought this was interesting)

Is it common for discussions about pop culture vampires to ignore twilight? Why do you think this is? A result of the twilight hate, or something else? Do they just forget twilight exists? Do you think this is behavior is fair?

IMO: twilight, regardless of people’s opinions on it, is the best selling or one of the best selling vampire franchises of all time. People shouldn’t just ignore that because it’s not horror or because they don’t like it or whatever. And even if it takes liberties with vampire lore, that doesn’t mean it should be discarded entirely in discussions about vampires.

(Context)

I was watching a video that mentioned the fact that bram stroker’s vampires had red eyes and how pop culture didn’t pick that up in their vampire lore. I saw in the comments one person mentioned an example of it “recently” entering pop culture….with 2025’s sinners. No mention of twilight’s red eyed vampires. Which felt weird considering it’s both bigger and earlier than sinners. More scrolling showed nobody was mentioning twilight at all despite being relevant to the topic of ‘vampires with red eyes’.

Posted a few days ago about using a water bucket to get a dive ball to work outside of water, and thought I’d post about more catching pokemon life hacks.

Gallade, made when evolving Kirlia (evolved from ralts at 20) with a dean stone, learns false swipe at level 23. False swipe is great for catching pokemon because it always leaves the target at 1hp. Because gallade can also learn hypnosis, which puts a target to sleep, it makes a phenomenal dedicated catching pokemon to swap into when you need to ensure you don’t kill the pokemon you’re trying to catch. Especially when combined with a dream ball (though that takes a diamond to craft so maybe not).

What are your favorite Cobblemon life hacks?
