    If you've been using nasal spray for a long time the congestion is just rebound

    i haven't because as I've already stated I know about that

    I'm literally always congested anyway but oh wow whenever I spray this zicam shit I can actually breathe for a few hours

    what are you supposed to do if like your nose is just fucking congested all the time because I know you're not supposed to take decongestants every day because of drug tolerance issues and rebound symptoms without it, but like, without it I can't breathe

    I thought I had a deviated septum but no I just need to squirt some decongestant in there apparently and I can breathe

    Do you need to peel a mature eggplant? I was told yes, but then they got baby eggplants and didn't peel those and basically treated them like zucchini, but they said that that was because they were immature

    But Im watching one of my japanese animes and this lady is cutting half rounds of a clearly mature skin-on eggplant. Who is right here? Chefs who are sometimes wrong, or a literal cartoon

    Peeling eggplant is a time sink if I don't need to do it, especially when half the time it's just going into something like ratatouille

  • it's like a more earthy/fruity cayenne pepper, like why don't people use more of it? there's so many jalapeños so it's not like it wouldn't be cheap to make just a shout out to ground jalapeño, you're a real spice king

    I am teetering on the knife's edge in this playthrough but it's 1843 and I don't remember how (this is an old save lol) but I have Persia, Dai Nam, and Burma as protectorates, soo close to having a negative liberty desire increase (just need my infamy to drop), just got Benin as well, so while maybe ***I'm*** doing some horrible colonialism, the good news is I've prevented the Anglos and the Fr*nch from their usual easy avenues of expansion. I just need to yknow, not fuck up (i have literally no idea where to go from here lol)

    Like god damn it was a good show. About literal lovecraftian eldritch horrors, but the main horror presented was white supremacy I want more but at the same time I'm not sure how it could top its season 1 finale where all white people are stripped of magic

    I'm 5 episodes in but basically the premise is it's OP'S favorite brand of slop, an isekai, where a woman works herself to death and gets reincarnated as the daughter of a magical artificer. She ends up learning artificery from him and invents things like a hair dryer and waterproof fabric (i.e. 'plastic' but from slimes). She ends up engaged to her fellow apprentice, who immediately turns into a total tool, telling her she's "too tall" with heels on, criticizing her hair, her glasses, etc. Fuck this guy, what a nerd. Then he has the audacity to have an affair and leave her- but that's okay, he sucked anyway and she's got a sick ass artificer's tower to live in. He had to pay her reparations, lol get fucked loser! Also she meets a cute knight guy who actually doesn't suck, except he's all "😌 i could just be her friend for eternity 😌" so you know it's going to be a long and arduous journey until they fuckin kiss already (unless they don't and i've just been trolling myself) Im giving it 4 out of 5 slop stars so far

    It's slop, but it's good slop, IMO. Basically the premise of the show is one of your lightly-DnD based fantasy worlds where there's Skills and dungeons and such. The protagonist, Noor, wants to be an adventurer more than anything, so that he can travel and experience life and be useful to people. But after going through the implied-to-be-rigorous three month courses for every possible skill (which seems to be paid for by the state, btw! just sayin', big ups) he never manages to acquire a skill other than the most basic possible for every branch. To be licensed as an adventurer, you need "at least two *useful* skills." So he's denied, travels back home, and does the anime thing of training each and every one of those skills intensely for the next fifteen years. So, although he can't use an attack skill, he ends up able to parry over ten thousand swords simultaneously with a single breath. His "tiny flame," a magic barely even useful to conjure a candlelight, can summon a basketball sized orb of fire. Despite his prodigious ability with these skills, he ends up registered as a mere F rank adventurer, as a symbol of charity, basically. Calling him an adventurer while he's mostly a shit-shoveler (the subs call it mud, but, I mean...) Even after the Plot Happens, it turns out our MC is a 100% himbo that is entirely locked into his mentality of not being worthy. He defeats a minotaur, in this world a demon from the Abyss, but thinks it was "just a cow." He fights a Goblin Emperor, implied to be a magical bioweapon that could destroy a nation, thinking it's just your basic goblin. "A single goblin causes me this much trouble, I'm really not ready" he thinks. Numerous members of the royal family are in awe of his abilities, but he basically seems to not know what "royal family" means, lol. His opinion of his abilities are so low that when offered basically any reward he can think of, he says he's good, he doesn't need anything because he didn't really do much, making the king basically think he's a selfless saint Anyway, I have a low bar for entertainment, it really is some slop, but it's been real fun. Also although I'm only 5 episodes in if you're worried about it being grossly oversexualized or whatever it's got none of that nonsense, just a man learning to parry harder than anyone's ever parried before

    If i go to a doctor because of lumpy painful wrist syndrome and I think it's carpal bossing but idk, but also I injured my wrist like an idiot 7 years ago when i was uninsured, do I need to play dumb about that injury or else insurance will deny me or something because it's pre-existing and then i'll have to pay a million dollars to have a working hand? My natural inclination is to not lie about shit and it's relevant but also i don't have a million dollars if being like "so yeah i think i fucked up my wrist half a decade ago" is gonna fuck me on insurance? Idk i haven't seen a doctor in like 9 years

    [These little freaks right here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diploptera_punctata) produce a form of milk protein crystal, meaning in the future it might be possible to not just eat the bug, but milk the bug as well. HOWEVER, that raises the question, what is "bug milk"? Because if you go by the precedent of nut milks, it's a milk of ground and processed bug. But if you go by the precedent of animal milk, then it would refer to the milk FROM the bug Without clear rules dictating how to speak here, how is someone to know which product they're getting??

    idk I think that's kinda critical information, literally googled it to see if I can even vote for the PSL, it's not on their site from what I see. I think their front page should have a big infographic "you can vote for justice in these states" maybe I'm wrong but I'm also pretty sure I'm right and that that lack is a glaring omission yes I hit the "contact us" on their website, but what if they ignore me??

    Like you're presumably unconscious and at no point ever consent to be liable for the cost, and yet people get billed. It's like if someone just came and did a bunch of work on your house when you were asleep and then sent you a bill. Like, just wack. It's like if you passed out in Walmart and an employee put a cell phone in your pocket, took your money, then gave you a receipt, and people were like "hmm yes that's legit" America must be destroyed
