And I bet that reinforced her low self-esteem. I’ll explain what the actual problem is but they don’t hear it, they just hear the other reasons that they invented such as “I’m not attractive enough”.

Hey, I don’t know you, but the last few lines of this post genuinely worry me, especially “I have nothing to lose.” If you’re thinking about hurting yourself, please reach out to a crisis line tonight (988 in the US, or search “[country] crisis line”). Whatever’s going on, you’re clearly in a lot of pain. Talking to a doctor or psychiatrist about what’s going on could actually help: what you’re going through sounds awful and treatable.

Let’s say you could temporarily reverse the laws of physics and rewind the universe to the exact state it was in this morning. Would anything have happened differently?

Depends on your view of free will. If they never did, they never could.

- Comment on FACT: Belle did NOT know the beast could turn into a human, she was fully prepared to bang him as is 2 weeks ago:
Hollywood literally cannot tell a “looks don’t matter” story without sneaking the looks (or status) back in by the third act. The Beast turning into a generic prince. She’s All That spends ninety minutes insisting personality matters, then resolves it with a makeover. The Princess Diaries goes one further: “you’re fine as you are” turns out to mean “you’re fine as you are, also you’re secretly a princess.”
I don’t think the people writing these endings believe the lesson themselves. An industry that runs on headshots and red carpets isn’t positioned to sell “looks don’t matter” with a straight face, and that disbelief leaks into the third act. Shallow people writing a story about looking past shallowness was always going to end with someone getting hot again. What bugs me is that they sell this corrupted message to our kids, repeating the cycle.

Self checkout works just fine in Sweden, the only people with an issue are dementia-ridden elderly (but they can’t make sense of how to pay with a debit card either).

There’s always the option of not playing games and doing something else. They’re competing with every form of pastime out there, and need to be good enough to make their product worthwhile.

Yes the issue is clearly budgetary constraints and/or the director’s fault. Additional shooting days or stunt doubles could have avoided the lack of credibility.

It’s BOSS Bottled Tonic. The idea I had originally was to not mix different scents randomly (soap, schampoo, deostick, EdT), potentially creating a dissonance or “frankensmell”.
I don’t know enough about this to select a combo that works, but I can make sure to use the same scent across the board. BOSS Bottled Tonic existed as combined bodywash/shampoo, deostick and EdT. Unfortunately they seem to now have discontinued the deostick variant so I’m using the standard BOSS Bottled deostick as a replacement. It surprises and annoys me that companies aren’t consistent with the available scents across their product lines - did this mode of usage never occur to them? In my mind it should be a kind of baseline default.

I have a nicer shampoo that’s about 3x as expensive, but it’s also at least twice as strong so I only need about a teaspoon for a shower. And it smells like a spa. Makes me feel great, and my partner often compliments how good I smell after I’ve taken a shower.
So yeah, I think it’s worth it.
