I envisioned this exact scene, but with a touch more passive aggressive oh you’re so cute I could eat you up. Besties for life with no physical boundaries works to describe a whole other set of ladies, which is totally an angle I like.

Yeah notice too it’s changed from the girl was hitting on Jay, to this.

Perhaps your skin is very particular and only prefers that exact concentrations of active, emollient and occlusive ingredients, but it is more likely that because there are just SO many alternatives, you haven’t stumbled across the right one. It would be difficult to come across a dupe if you couldn’t compare…

Have you looked in to treating what may be fungal acne? If you’ve tried the common cures (benzoyl peroxide, a retinol at a concentration and schedule that doesn’t burn you), it may be something to consider.

Ouch. I know that feel. I use prescriptions (retain a) and like you, I absolutely torched my mouistute barrier and was red and angry and peeling like a snake, and it took me awhile to stumble on moisturizing more, all the time, multiple layers, as a way to help combat it.

Yeah I was confused about the sunscreen optional. They will murder you there if you don’t mention your spf in your routine.

There is science behind some skincare. Skincare chemists, for example, have gotten good enough to stabilize Vit C in a variety of forms, but many unethical companies still sell unstabilized and improperly packaged vitamin c that oxidizes easily and causes more harm than good.

They were particularly bad here for a really normal behaviour. I know tons of people who don’t like being touched by strangers, for a variety of reasons from health to introversion. I don’t particularly like it either. Yhis isn’t that uncommon, and it’s not a right to touch other people or the only way to communicate,…

Loneliness is a greater killer than heart disease, alcohol and sharks.

That’s super interesting and very topical. I just recently ‘learned’ Hugo Schwyzer embezzled PTA money after his last jail stint and the school thought they could give him some small responsibility to reintegrate.

Hey Patrick, I know you guys are probably crammed with work, but sometimes the articles commentsget pretty nasty. There is a commenter here telling someone they should stop existing. More than once.

I’ve reported the inapproriate comments you’ve received, and you should do so as well.

also hon, dismiss is your best friend. if you don’t know how its the three little dots that show up when you hover over a comment. Click that and there should be a dismiss button.

I was wondering if that had an impact in how people were responding to this as well, how we all view these situations rolling out in our minds.

this is the correct read. I hope this dingus’ comments haven’t impacted your day at all.

I don’t think that word means what you think it means.

There are two options here.

I alway wonder if thats based on the touch itself, or the underlying emotional connection that allows it, if i’m being clear in the differentiation between the two?

It implies a level of intimacy. If you don’t have that intimacy, that’s where it can feel manipulative, or a power play. It’s also one of the first things they teach people for body language, so sometimes you get it administered strangley.

Dude, this is a particularly mean thing to say, for no real reason. Why?
