Wayne Goss needs to stop making skincare videos. His video telling people to layer The Ordinary's 30% BHA peeling solution and The Ordinary's salicylic acid mask is crazy as fuck and dangerous.

Wayne Goss has been making skincare videos that are straight up dumb as hell for a while now, but his recent one (link) telling people to layer two extremely strong acid products by The Ordinary goes beyond being dumb. It's promoting something that can actively cause a ton of irritation and destroy people's moisture barriers.

The Ordinary explicitly tells people NOT to combine their different acid products. The red peeling solution is so strong that it's actually been banned in Canada and Australia, and there's a class action lawsuit against the company for selling a product that can burn people's skin off.

So for Wayne to blatantly disregard Deciem's instructions and also to just promote ignorance by telling people to layer this already extremely potent acid with The Ordinary's 2% salicylic acid mask is just irresponsible.

Damaging your moisture barrier by doing stuff like this is going to cause a ton of other problems that you want to avoid. A whole bunch of issues like acne and signs of aging can be helped by having a strong moisture barrier, so this is only going to backfire in a ton of different ways.

I'm honestly starting to think makeup influencers should stop talking about skincare. A lot of them are just jumping in now and promoting so many stupid "hacks" without doing even bare minimum research.

What can ordinary people do to tackle the rising COL in this city?

I recently moved back to this city from Europe after several years and I'm blown away by how much more difficult it has become to live here overall, and I'm genuinely curious about what we can do to address this.

I know housing in this city has been astronomical for decades but it's getting even worse, now even food is becoming out of reach for many. Many people can't even afford children. Homelessness is worse than it ever was along with opioid-related deaths. I see many people commenting on this sub about his difficult it has become for the average person to live here, or how unsafe it is in certain areas.

And it's not like we can make more money to compensate. Salaries continue to be relatively low compared to other big, comparable cities like Seattle, San Fran or Toronto, whether that's actually due to the "sunshine tax" or not is beyond me.

I'm not claiming to be a policy expert here and I don't have the answers, but I'm simply just curious: What can we, as ordinary citizens, do to address these issues that seem to only be getting worse?

Not going to link to the stuff Article, but apparently Luxon is "focusing on...developing his te reo Māori skills to help him...connect with ordinary people"

What ordinary people? Barely anyone speaks it fluently. If he really wants to connect with ordinary people, Tongan, Samoan, Hindi and Mandarin would all be more relevant.

National: Labour, but more so.

2024 looking grim.

E: to be clear, I'm not suggesting that: a) learning Maori is a bad thing/people shouldn't b) Maori aren't ordinary people (amazed that this even needs to be said).

The intended point was an observation that we have a leader of the opposition who seems not to realise that Ardern was voted back in by a majority in 2020 pretty much purely based on COVID, not her views on culture. In addition, we have an opposition leader who appears not to know ordinary New Zealanders very well at all if he thinks that he'll connect with them by speaking a language that the overwhelming majority of them don't. That suggests a real failure of either intelligence or advice.

Movies about incidents that suddenly change ordinary people's lives

Ok so I don't know how to ask this properly so excuse my title if it's vague to you (English is also not my main) but I'm requesting movies that are about a single incident/accident/event etc happening to an ordinary person coincidentally and suddenly changing her/his life forever. BUT their lives have to be going downhill lol, not getting better. Also the main characters should be ordinary citizens, not criminals in advance. Let me give you some examples for a clearer explanation.

Queen & Slim - ordinary black couple becoming legends for BLM movement after accidentally killing a racist cop

Good Time - a botched bank robbery making him go to jail and his brother trying to get him outta jail

Night Teeth - a fun Netflix movie about a college guy being the driver of two vampires accidentally and trying to run away from the hunters

The Vast of Night - in the 1950s a radio operator discovers an audio that change the whole town's future

Do ordinary Japanese people have words that they know the meaning but not the pronunciation because they've never heard it or seen its furigana?

In the English world, there are moments when someone will speak a word that they've never heard but have read often so they get the pronunciation wrong. Since its English, the accepted pronunciation can be different from the spelling. But, usually, pronouncing the spelling can get you close enough that people will guess the word. With kanji, it can be quite different.

So, how does the equivalent phenomena play out in Japanese?

I hope I can crowdfund this technology and open source the design files.

Worldlines: A Many Worlds Novel by Adam Guest

This book received a PERFECT 4 star rating from an official OnlineBookClub.org reviewer!

What if infinite universes existed? And what if we travelled to them everyday through our dreams?

When Gary Jackson wakes up having committed a crime he doesn't remember, it is up to his best friend to explore all possible theories, and universes...

"I found myself completely absorbed in this story, as it thrives on rigorous scientific theories and demands a mystery to unravel in the end. The author has beautifully presented the complete characterization and world-development in this narrative." ~ OBC reviewer

Life nowdays is full of gossip, people have wrong principles of morality, a lot of extraordinary people live in anonymity while others live their best life cause they shout louder and have a bigger ego, ordinary people get rich and famous for only body and face with nothing more special than that .

A lot of people care about what X did or what Y said while they don't know each other in reality and this is stupid. People find this interesting only because their life is so boring and they don't have anything else to enjoy better than this. It doesn't help you in life with nothing talking with your friends how a person you've never talked to in reality, looks like when it has a bad day or how they should live their live. Yes, people are social beings but this is very low effort and very stupid to do so.

You might talk about a tragedy that happend to someone close to you to inform your friends about it so they'll act cautios when talking to that person, but it doesn't help you with nothing that a guy you've never spoke to that he is poor or rich or whatever. Gossip is really low-iq social interaction and most of the times unecessary.

Life is not a reality show about comedy, drama or tragedy nor any regular TV Show with people overreacting to stupid jokes or getting shocked to useless information about TV Stars. People copycat a lot of bad behaviours as gossip, discouraging people, taunting, bullying people . People likes to criticize but never want to be criticized or they just ignore their own value and focus on other's.

A lot of people have a big ego and spread hate to others just to feel superior but in fact they are nobody, or at least nobody important as they think. Overconfident personality is idolized and the defensive response when people with that personality are attacked is giving hate or taunting back to people.

The people that matter in our society and real values live in anonymity while ordinary people with fake values are overrated only because they shout louder and attract the attention more to them. There are a lot of extraordinary people but the only one who tend to get famous are people who seem very confident and that look / sound superior or the people that are already rich.

Here and there you can see a lot of cute faces and sexy bodies that make a lot of money both women and men just for their appereance and not by modeling to sell a product or any sort of talent but Instagram / Tiktok / Youtube / adult sites or sites that include adult content for exclusive subscribers. Sex and beauty really sells well even without context or any special talent.

Is sad cause internet can trick the brain in a lot of ways. Seeing a hot woman or a hot man and buying content from them is like getting lied cause our brain doesn't make a diffe

Do ordinary people even have a chance?

Hey everyone,

I’m a youngish guy in LA and I am currently living with a roommate (on the Glendale/LA border) and trying to save up so I can buy either a house or condo somewhere in LA (I’m open to a bunch of different areas, trying to be flexible as possible since beggars can’t be choosers). It would be my first time buying anything and I don’t come from a family of owners so I don’t know where to even start. I think I would be able to afford $5-600K? But reading here and elsewhere how things are going for much more than asking is scary. Should I be limiting my searches to $400K and be prepared to go much over that for a place? Is there even any hope of getting anything reasonable with this low of a budget? Am I out of my depth? Should I just continue saving money until I can make more money and afford a larger mortgage?

If people were angry when brokers halted GME buy's, what would happen if a stock market crash occurs and ordinary investors are not able to sell?

I was just listening to a podcast with an investment advisor who said that he and his clients are all long equities and they have stop loss orders placed in case of a crash. As the market goes up they raise their stop price.

However, I was wondering how this would work if the market is closed, or if the circuit breakers kick in, and when the market re-opens the prices are all well below their limit/stop price.

For example, lets say the Dow closes at 36,000 and some terrible news event occurs overnight there might be no way people would be able to exit their positions at 36,000. They wlll have to sell after the market opens right? And the market wil open much lower than 36,000.

Also, if word gets out that certain investors were able to sell, while retail investors were unable to get their orders filled this could lead to a full scale revolt.

Is this concern legitimate, or are their controls in place to prevent retail investors from getting hosed while the well connected all exit their long positions?
