  • How do you shop from OEMs(original equipment manufacturer) and buy only one item at a time? Have tips for buying from OEMs efficiently? It sounds empowering, but I'm unsure how to do it.

  • You basically buy things off Taobao (there was another website getting popular by the time I stopped being involved)

    Who knows what that other website was? I hope it's in English because I can't get Taobao to translate to English.

  • Scarcity minidset has me reeling with panic about shopping. It's a form of expecting bills. I heard buying from OEMs is a great way to shop, but I have no instructions. Trying to figure it out is mentally and emotionally taxing.

    Edit: I have stopped trying to learn. Someone please answer the question about OEMs in my last post before I start crying.(Kidding, but not totally kidding.)

  • Maybe the urgently moving people have urgent needs, like needing to go to the bathroom or be other places. Maybe the slower people are more tired.

    I wonder what percentage these guesses of mine alone covers for the people you run into.

    Insomnia is a side effect of many Covid infections. So is depression and anxiety. I think these are all things that can change people's speed of doing things.

    Evidence suggests that the risk of depression, anxiety, and sleep disturbances significantly increases in COVID-19 patients, with prevalence rates of 45%, 47%, and 34%, respectively.[6] Another study showed that the rates of depression anxiety and insomnia in COVID-19 survivors were 11.5%, 28%, and 64.8%.[7] Notably, the prevalence of insomnia among COVID-19-infected patients was as high as 26.45%, even after they recovered and left the hospital.

    What do you dislike about people with martyr syndrome/a martyr complex?(According a therapist I spoke to, it can be called both, a syndrome and a complex.)

  • Even though I hate mirrors too, I took photos for my self as like my own personal transition timeline. It did help me see gradual subtle changes and it makes it obvious how much has changed over the last 5 or so years.

    I'm amazed that the transformation can last 5+ years. It must make one impatient at times, but still, what a joy when you notice the progression. I am so happy for you, and I am proud of you for your patience.

  • I love the smell, but I'm not willing to have a nicotine addiction for it. These people could use a sweet cotton candy perfume. And maybe normalize fruity perfumes for adults. Clearly, with all these vapes, adults are highly interested in sugary and fruity scents.

  • FYI, adding in a cup or more of baking soda in the washing machine really helps thoroughly wash out extra stinky and crusty laundry.

    sense of smell and taste sensitivity heighten dramatically after a while. its crazy how tobacco smoke deadens everything.

    Sounds like you felt like you have long covid. Those are shitty side effects. May you all enjoy things like smelling candles and eating food more.

  • Are there any eras of beauty standards in China where it was considered attractive to have darker skin or be fat? Are there popular Chinese beauty idols showing either of those things?

    I don't quite understand Chinese beauty standards because the pale skin thing doesn't seem to have a connection to white colonialism. Sure it was a signifier that you weren't a farmer and could stay inside all day, but people aren't blind to the fact that dark skin is also attractive.

    And at some point in the past, at times of hunger during feudalism that could fall on both poor and rich families, long spans of hunger should've made fat women seem more desirable, right? I feel like these trends should change over time, but from what I've been learning, thin and pale with slender jawlines has been the mainstream beauty standard in China for a long time.

  • Oh, I thought you meant birth names, like Henry, Jane, and John.

    I've heard of that first one for women. For the ones aimed toward adults, I think it's only appropriate for those who are in the middle of actively consenting to reclaim being called these names as a kink. It's creepy any other time.

    I have not heard those ones for children that is creepy as hell. Why I feel like this has "the straights are not okay" vibe?

  • There's a few I've seen. I love to see Uzo Aduba for example. But it's not enough to me. I want the actual ratio of very round/sharply angled faces that society has in Hollywood and everything Hollywood touches. Magazines and billboards. (Fuck ads, but if you're going to put them places, don't neglect to represent all sorts of beauty.)

  • I used to think I was antinatalist. Really I was coping with my fear that I couldn't take care of a baby, and obsessively tried to be optimistic about the benefits of not having one.

    In admitting this fear, I opened my mind to reasons others desire having a child. Actual healthy ones. Like passing on resilience so the next generation can grow to break generational cycles of trauma, and further heal in the name of themselves and their entire ancestral line before them. All the way back to the past generation that started in primordial soup. I believe healing ourselves is to heal backwards in time.

    I think each kind of animal has a spirit. When I think of the human spirit and how much health in the world it has the potential produce, I think just about every surviving generation is just this great soup of advancing potential. However many generations of an ancestral line suck and seemingly should not reproduce, one member of a future generation can turn things around. I want these things for people. I have such high hope for humanity. Also, I like to think of how many people out there are neat, and are artists at creating wonderful new people. I may never have a baby but I like that others have them.

    Anyone else want to share why they think natalism could be done healthy and for the good? I blocked out my exploration of this topic for decades, and I'd really like to hear about yours.

  • Beauty standards in America are weirdly focused on sharp, severely angled facial features. Round facial features, especially of dark sinned people, are being neglected in beauty shoots that make it on billboards.

    I saw this woman with very round eyes and I thought, "She's the opposite of supermodel-looking. Is she ugly?.. No, she's quite pretty. What brainworms led me to suspect that she could be catagorized as ugly?"

    Although I know it's not my fault I thought that, I'm still mad at myself. But I am more disappointed at how international luxury brands try to make every supermodel look "snatched" (as in presenting sharp, severe, angled features), especially with risky surgery, when round features are A-okay and another sort of beauty to be celebrated.

    Round featured faces should be internationally represented in more glamour shoots. I'd like to see trends where people are accentuating roundness of the eyes with makeup. Atm idk what that looks like.

    Maybe it's because I dont read magazines or go out much, but in the whole year of 2025, I can only recall one outdoor beauty advertisement showing a black woman with a round head, nose, and eyes.

    Btw, the woman I met ended up being wonderful to hang out with. I feel betrayed by how beauty standards had me questioning her looks as one of my first thoughts of her.

  • I like pickled ginger. Someone told me that it's good for nausea when nothing else is working, and that it works better if you chew it up before swallowing it. And if you don't want to chew, it'll still help if you swallow a thin strip of pickled ginger whole with water.

    I think I'll eventually try the rest of what you mentioned. I'm most curious about pickled red onion.
