Part 16: The awakening of the heart
.
.
As the Mysterious Stranger and the Seeker leave the old castle behind, they continue on the snow-covered path. A path appears on the right side, following parallel to their own. The two paths merge into one, which leads towards a volcano. As they progress, another parallel path from the left side merges as well with the current one.
.
In the distance, the Seeker spots a building, where the path tilts uphill. A sign points at a crossroad. An intersection, between realms. The crossroads, where all timelines meet up: Where the westward and the eastward paths meets the northern road.

Where the paths meet, stands a tavern. The lights are on. The chimney is smoking. A sign shows its name:
'The Red Ditch Inn'
https://preview.redd.it/juftmsbpat0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce590d32986f652979736d6e4a0f7a718953d8b0
.
.
“Wanna get something to drink,” asks the Stranger the Seeker.
“Sure, why not,” accepts the Seeker.
.
.
Before he opens the door knob, the Stranger hesitates and speaks to the Seeker:
“This is the bar, where the timelines of our souls meet up. This is the crossing of our life-paths, the intersection of fate. Be prepared, for what happens next.”
The Seeker and the Stranger walk into the building. As they open the door, they are started by the loud conversations. The inn is full. Many tables with different animals of all species.
.
.
The table in the center of the bar, has a label saying: ''
Around that table sit all kinds of different birds and animals. Pigeons, squirrels, Reptiles, cats, dogs, wolves, foxes, crows, mice, sloths. They are mostly talking about crystals and past lives.
https://preview.redd.it/51hygx7rat0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f7e21f854aa849d0e1647c73551cf69886802857
.
.
There was a table, which said: ''. There sat an old bear, who carries many scars, wounded by countless battles, teaching young bear cups, who attentively listen to their elders. Some are making notes.
https://preview.redd.it/jhdust7tat0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f6c6edefe29376b1664a6e5a1496f50cba530e53
Next to it, is a table with a label saying: ''
There sit some parrots all repeating the same mantra in unison:
“BEFORE ENLIGHTENMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER, AFTER ENLIGHTENMENT CHOP WOOD CARRY WATER.”
https://preview.redd.it/k4mn0ouuat0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e6f44ee5f2604a334a3db3beda9b470510f2072
.
.
There is another table, called: ''
There sit a caterpillar, a spider, a scorpion and an eagle.
“You have an Ego,” shouts the caterpillar at the spider, pointing his finger.
“No, you have an Ego,” shouts the spider back at the caterpillar.
“You both have an Ego,” accuses the scorpion both the caterpillar and the spider.
“Hey,” shouts the bird. “I am the eagle here!”

.
.
Next to it, is the table of 'nonduality'. The chairs are completely empty. There is no one here.
https://preview.redd.it/wroiy1fyat0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ac3c6674cd8f4e6417659dd75428b2288d49ceab
.
.
On the other side there is another table with many different birds and mammals, some more exotic animals from all around the world. The label says 'Soulnexus'. There is someone constantly screaming at the top of their lungs:
“I AM A PROFFESIONAL PSYCHIC READER WITH 14 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE!”
https://preview.redd.it/h0us9l00bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=849553e6990e3e929cb4a9a260dff7f5eeec2822
.
.
One table next to it is called ''. The people sitting there do not look like animals, but like strange aliens. Some small and green beings, others big and gray, some with fur, some with scales, some humanoid. They were mostly talking about the past, exchanging some old memories. Among them is a chicken, who wears an alien costume.
.
As one of the Grey beings stands up to go to the toilet, the chicken whispers to the others:
“Psst guys, I think Fred may not be an actual Starseed.”
https://preview.redd.it/rm7q76p1bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ecfe01dab9efac7c5e72bfbfe33bb8cc7767af7
The other beings around the table start mumbling.
https://preview.redd.it/yt1k1ye3bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=227247bb01d8a3e55609027f8ab174d6ae73d22a
.
.
There is one more table called ''. The Stranger walks towards their table.
“Jo, wazzup Shawty,” greets the Stranger an old friend at the psychonaut-table, with a fist bump. “Long time no see.”
.
“Whoa, it's YOU,” responds the Tiger at the table, with red eyes, smoking his bong. “Last time I've seen you, I was like in DMT realm.”
.
“Is Burt anywhere around?” asks the Stranger.
.
.
“He is sitting there in the corner,” responds Shawty. The tiger points at a traumatized racoon sitting in the dark corner.
“I have seen too much,” mumbles the Burt the Racoon with eyes wide open, like a scratched record.
“I have traveled too far... I have seen, what lies within the emptiness. Never again... I will never do shrooms again...”
.
.
Suddenly the waiter taps the racoons shoulder, ripping him out of his thought loop.
“Sir... Do you wanna order anything?”
.
“Do you have McKennaii?”
“Yes,” responds the waiter.
“Then I'll have 7 grams,” orders the racoon.
https://preview.redd.it/0ietwc55bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b9743c7ce4a41d96bdd79eca2e3a94a25f39aeb8
.
.
The Seeker has a sudden thought and looks at the Stranger.
“What does the ' slash' on the tables, stand for?”
.
“I don't know...,” shrugs the Stranger. “ It's probably to reserve the table at this inn.”
.
.
.
The Stranger looks at all the tables, they are all talking and talking. Some are playing poker, others are playing dart, some drunks fight each other. Others talk about their identity or their favorite dogma. Some are showing off, how enlightened they are.
As they stand at the crossroads, they can either go Westwards, Eastwards and Northwards. Many have taken the western route, many have went eastwards, but they always ended back at the 'Red Ditch Inn' again.
The newbies, were unsure, whether to go west or east. The experienced ones, knew it doesn't make a difference, they would end up at the bar again anyway. Some were stuck in the bar since many decades, they had given up hope to ever find a way out. But few of them ever dared to walk northwards.
https://preview.redd.it/5q5msvr6bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a38f7d94b60f2b9e4d6c434c0e5dba42e3eb42e0
The Stranger sighs, as he looks around. His eyes flame up, he inhales deeply and climbs on a chair. With a raised voice he speaks:
.
.
.
.
“When did we lose our heart?
We lost our heart collectively.
Did we lose it, when we were still cavemen? When we had to survive the cold winters of the ice age? When we hunted down the last Homo Neanderthalensis? Or later on, when the first tribes waged war against each other? Did we lose our heart, when we enslaved each other? Did we lose our hearts, when we dropped atom bombs, or when we caused our first mass extinctions...The crimes, that Humans do in wars... All of us carry the sins of our forefathers on our shoulders.
.
.
We lost our hearts individually.
For the person it starts pretty early in their childhood. We lose our trust, when we are lied to. Almost everyone tastes the pain of Betrayal at least once in life. We are deeply wounded from childhood on. We learn early on, that humans hurt us and thus we become suspicious of humans. We learn not to trust each other. Because we are afraid of being hurt again. And so we close off our heart to protect it.
.
.
What is the heart?
I am not talking about the physical organ. I talk about this part in your 'soul', if I may call it that. It's like the core of our 'soul', of our 'astral body'. The centre of our 'energy' or chakras. We are afraid to open it, because it's very vulnerable. That's why we protect it. We are afraid to open it, because we don't trust each other.
But unless your heart is open, you can never experience unconditional love. Its flame must be activated.
The heart is your connection to everything. The heart is what connects you to 'source', if that's the word, you'd like to use. The heart is from where our love flows.
We have cut off the connection and became separated from the ALL. We made love conditional. We split hating from loving, dislike from like and created duality. We became attached. We let ourselves be corrupted by the Ego.
Now that we have closed the heart, what have we done to the world?
.
.
We turned the world into a place, that almost no one likes. We created a society, that keeps us in narrow boxes. We made the world a lonely place, for everyone to be in. Even in groups, we often feel lonely. We allowed money to rule over us. We allowed ideologies to split us and dogmas to control us.
We have so many different issues, that we just can't seem to overcome. Climate change. Wars. Corrupt politicians. Poverty. Starvation. Meaninglessness. Nihilism.
Where should we start with all that mess?
.
.
With ourselves. That is the place, where the transformation needs to start. We need to evolve. One person at a time. Only then, can the collective transform as well.
We need to open the mind and the heart. To see and to feel. To be aware and to love. We need to find harmony within ourselves. End the inner conflict and find peace within.
Find your own truest path.
Let go of any limiting beliefs. Let go of any attachments. Forgive whoever needs forgiveness and apologize to clear your regrets. Find Love.
Find your light within. See your light in all people. Love your enemies.
Recognize the Ego, be aware of what makes it grow. Become aware of any negative thought patterns. Be disciplined.
Clear your own shadows. Face your Trauma. Heal your inner child.
Get free from all bodily addictions. Be free of fear. Be free of suffering.
See the beauty of all things. Find joy in every moment.
Surrender yourself. Follow the heart. Be proud and courageous. Accept your life and your story. Embrace your story, without being attached to it.
Find your purpose. End the Seeking.
Be your authentic Self. Express Love through your character.
Become Love.
.
.
.
This is a possible path. And I just gave you the map. It can be walked. It was walked before. But it is a path into unknown territory. Only the bravest of you can walk this path. It's not for the faintest of heart.
You see, you all either follow the path of the left and go westwards or you follow the path on the right and go eastwards... But no matter how far you go, you'll always end up at the crossroads again. You never make any real progress.
What if there is another path? What if there's another way? What if I say, 'let us go north?!'”
.
.
.
Some of the crowd are in shock. Some are laughing. Others are mumbling.
“You can't walk north,” says a crow from the projectors. “It's impossible.”
“Everyone knows, that the northern road is a dead-end,” says an awakened Caterpillar. “It's a waste of time going up there. You can't go further, than the volcano.”
https://preview.redd.it/unxwjos8bt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a39000508c04db0ea2e8b8c73af3b0484e893f5
A psychonaut horse laughs. “That will be fun. Can't wait to see their disappointed faces, when they walk all the way back down.”
.
.
.
.
.
The Stranger continues undeterred:
.
“Why are you walking the spiritual path?
You felt called to do it, didn't you? You felt something within you. Something made click. You understood, that there is a deeper truth, that you must find. There was this deep longing within you. So you started walking.
What were the first things, that you were seeking?
You were seeking answers.
What were your first questions? You were asking, 'What is my purpose?' You were asking 'Why am I here'?
And you have searched in so many places. But no matter which answer you got, you were never fully satisfied. Because it wasn't your answer. Because it was someone else's answer.
So you stopped seeking. Either you were content with some unfulfilling answers or you just simply gave up. When did you stop finding your own answers?
Dogma or tradition give us easy answers. When we are attached to them, when we build an identity around them, we become unable to find our own answers. But you can't end Seeking with someone elses answers. Only when you have claimed the answer for yourself, can the Seeker transform into something different. Into something new.
Just ending the Seeker, like cutting off a limb, won't do it. The Seeker needs to find their answer to the question 'What is my purpose?' Not one, they read from textbooks. Not an answer, that someone else can give them. When ONE has found their own unique purpose in life, then instead of 'seeking', there is only 'expressing'.”
.
.
.
“I see that you are advanced,” speaks an enlightened owl. “However you are blinded by idealism. When you stare into the abyss long enough, the abyss will stare back at you.”
https://preview.redd.it/wzo56e2bbt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cf49158aa39d115cfe22cd60a4b5c1502d11e246
“My friend,” says the Stranger. “I have not only stared into the abyss, I went to hell and back again to find my answer.”
.
.
.
Everyone falls silent, the Stranger continues:
“It was always here on earth. Heaven. It was always within us. Take a look around you. There is beauty in all things. If you search for it, you can find joy in every moment. Look for love in the world and you shall find love everywhere. Meet Life with gratitude and wonder. Face your experience, like an adventurer faces his challenge. Express unconditional love through your very being. Because this is how we heal Humanities greatest wound: The scar of nihilism.
It has all become so meaningless to us, hasn't it?
Memorizing knowledge at school or college, that you'll never need in real life. This feeling of being stuck in life. Day to day, going to a dead-end job for minimum wage. Living an unfulfilled life. The shattering of broken dreams. The tears of our suffering.
You know, why everything has become so meaningless?
We let our hearts get cold. After falling, we stopped getting back up again. We stopped facing our challenges.
You see, after every defeat, Humanity always got back up again. No matter how tough the challenge may seemed, Humanity never gave up.
We have forgotten, who we are.
All of us are Humanity. You, Me, everyone. We are all humanity. You, the individual human are HUMANITY. You are the Rest of mankind. Because we are all the same in our essence. When you open your heart, then this is your name: 'HUMANITY'
Because you see yourself in every other human. This is the name of the divine spark that sits within all of us. It is the fire, that burns in our eyes. This is Humanity: An archetype of victory and an idea of unity.
Let me ask you a very direct question. If we all came together to do our part, do you think that we could actually clean up the mess we have created? Do you think we have a chance of not only to survive but even to evolve as a species? And perhaps write even greater stories, than ever before?”
.
.
.
.
.
The entire crowd is silent. Most of them avoid eye contact. People start mumbling.
Then the crowd slowly gets louder again and the conversations on each table, continue as if nothing ever happened.
As the Stranger steps down from the chair, a monkey gets up from one of the tables, points his finger and screams:
“Look guys, this dude has ketchup on his outfit.”
.
.
While the crowd laughs at him, the Stranger goes to the bar and orders two beer. While he waits, he rubs off the ketchup stain from his clothes with his fingernails.
People are looking at him and the Seeker. The Seeker can't bear standing next to the Stranger and leaves the tavern. The Stranger pays for two beers. 140 Pesos. He then follows the Seeker outside.
https://preview.redd.it/e6z1vs8dbt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87abe2474b38b4db1520beec2fc576fa2f8aead4
“Wanna go already?” asks the Stranger while sipping from his beer.
“Those guys hate you now,” sighs the Seeker.
“Who cares?” shrugs the Stranger, while gulping down the beer in a single go.
.
.
.
A couple of animals exit the bar. All the animals, that had no place to fit in. All the animals that didn't belong. A rabbit, a cat, a goldfish, a squirrel, a bear, a fox, a goat, a pigeon, an eagle, a chicken in an alien costume and a dog.
.
“I will also follow my destiny,” speaks the eagle with determination. His heart is also activated.
.
https://preview.redd.it/e7mfutlebt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54b88c6a4710f71cabdd77897773f51be8b247ec
.
“Alright,” says a bear with burning eyes. “Let's try going north... Perhaps this is how we'll finally get to Axis Mundi.”
.
“Going north... that sounds fun,” says the smiling fox. “Let's see how far, we'll come.”
https://preview.redd.it/4ewd3xegbt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8b37bff14424cd6f0f95cd988c32595de8f3f454
.
“We are all gonna die anyway,” sighs the pessimistic goat.
.
“I never tried going north before,” contemplates the curious pigeon.
.
“10 bucks, that I am first at the top of the volcano,” bets the black cat, while looking at her claws.
.
“Deal,” agrees the dog, while hunting his own tail.
.
The rabbit thinks about the taste of carrots. She is hungry.
.
The squirrel is simply happy and excited for the new adventure. She can't stop dancing.
.
The goldfish has no idea, what he's actually doing. He just rolls around in a plastic bag.
https://preview.redd.it/tl493tdibt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c8c3a131d0e3dab7174ef2bc7b7ea0b5d26ba1aa
“I... I will also walk my path,” speaks up the brave chicken in an alien costume. For the first time, the chickens eyes start burning.
.
.
.
Together, the new group of friends are traveling the northern road. Towards the volcano. As the sunset illuminates their backs, the animals start singing a new song. A song of excitement, of wonder and of bravery. A song, that goes something like: “We have found a way.”
https://preview.redd.it/kxv5lc2kbt0d1.jpg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7066bbeff6bd269542a87c52a66b953209fbd023

THE ONE TRUE SEEKER AND THE QUESTION OF FREE WILL
https://www.reddit.com/We_Are_Humanity/comments/1cnaanw/special_bonus_chapter_the_one_true_seeker_and_the/

I feel like if I'm going to ask anywhere, it'd have to be here, right?
Winter's rolling up where I live at, and I'm working on the ULTIMATE, PERFECT chicken noodle soup. I live in a country where we use mainly natural ingredients, so things like storebought chicken broth are not a thing, but I do love me some enhancers such as bullion.
My recipe is as follows:
Mirrepoix: goes in first, minimal amount of deglazing, I'm not after that flavour profile after all. Everything chunky, I like it that way. This goes over olive oil, for that golden shine. Chicken Breasts: 2, with the bone connecting them, same with sinew. goes in before the water over the veg to get it soaked in those flavours. Later removed and shredded with a hand blender (love this since I found out its a thing lol) Potatoes: That starch is soooooooo good. Leek: Alongisde the mirrepoix, a little later, for the sake of not burning it. Garlic: Lots of it. Herbs: Bayleaf, rosemary, thyme. Spices: Salt and pepper, some MSG if needed. Bullion: 1 chicken 1 veg, for that extra kick. Cheese: The meltiness is just sooooo good.
I cook everything down for about 2 hours to get it to that magical spot. Then small portion ladeled into a smaller pot to cook the noodles in the broth (I make a big pot of stock and then portion out every time I'm going to eat, I fricking love soup).
That's my recipe, needless to say it works like an absolute charm, a 9/10 in my book, but I'm after that extra point!
My current thoughts are:
Mushrooms?: Maybe dried pine mushrooms, rehydrated in the stock? my worry there is flavour profiling. Also thought about button mushrooms, but I can't imagine the texture would be good enough?
Pancetta: Some smoked pancetta bits, rendered in the olive oil, to boost the WHOLE thing up, and leave me with salty little bombs. This is currently my biggest idea.
Soy Sauce?: No idea tbh, thinking of soy sauce bases in ramen maybe?
Any ideas appreciated!

asking here on behalf of my spouse, but some background here:
my spouse has been on remicade for a couple of years now. some increases in dosage, and time between infusions. there's a pesky spot of inflammation that increases and decreases in how severe it is, and a colonoscopy is coming up to determine if it warrants a resection. they also recently had a seton placed for a fistula that came back (my spouse has also inquired about switching to a different biologic because they feel as though the remicade isnt really doing its job, but to no avail).
this past week i came with them to their most recent GI appointment because they feel their doctor dismisses them, and frankly i agree with them. figured my being there would 1) make her less dismissive because now there's someone else there and 2) i could speak up for my spouse, as they struggle with asserting themselves in medical settings
we discussed weight loss, of which theyve lost about 20-30ish lbs or so since February - spouse is fat, so the GI kinda responded with "well it'll make surgery easier" which is kind of disheartening to hear considering weight loss is a pretty big red flag for CD patients (as far as ive been made aware, anyway). i kinda pushed the topic and she agreed to doing some bloodwork, at least. then onto pain management, my spouse has two spots on their stomach that often cause trouble. they have dicyclomine, but its not something they can take before work or anything since it makes them incredibly drowsy. they only take it if we're at home and there's no problem if they nod off. i had asked about some other options for pain management, expecting a better option for medication in particular. the GI suggested that their pain is either psychosomatic or entirely external, plus something about other Crohn's patients she see "having it worse" than them, and to ice the area. her only other suggestions were peppermint oil and IBGuard. the peppermint oil felt a bit of an odd suggestion considering my spouse has reflux issues she literally prescribes omeprazole for, and i'm not overly familiar with IBGuard other than its marketed for IBS....so not sure how well it would work for CD.
anyway, long winded post to ask about some pain management yall do that is probably more holistic since we can't seem to get their GI to do much for that. being told it's essentially in their head was a bit of a slap in the face considering she's supposed to be a crohn's specialist. i'm looking for a new GI for my spouse, but it will likely take some time before any in our area can take them and we unfortunately don't have a vehicle that can do longer distance driving at this time.
TL;DR spouse's GI sucks and makes my spouse feel unheard, and isn't really providing us with any real options to address pain. what do yall do that isn't prescribed but helps at least somewhat?
thanks in advance!

I have seen a few posts about the difficulty of the first combat enounter once you land on the beach. After a few of runs I noticed that you can actually follow this red line up the cliff. This lets you recruit Gale, Lae'zel, and Astarion prior to fighting the three intellect devourers. Makes tactiction and HM run starts much easier. A great highground spot to lure the Int devoures to for a safer combat.

Hi Everyone! I posted this on Colognes but figured I’d share here, too.
I’ve always loved good smelling stuff and for the last 15 years I’ve usually had one bottle of cologne, and would replace once it’s out. Only in the last few months have I really delved into this world and began filling out a modest collection. I’m definitely not an expert (so take my reviews with a big grain of salt) but I love smelling and writing so here ya go. (Fucking wall of text incoming lmao, I didn’t realize how lengthy this got)
I just got back from a three-hour mall trip to try and get my nose on as many niche fragrances as my senses would tolerate. I had already done a good bit of research so I had some picked out to try and others already crossed-off. Im a 30M for reference.
I also had the goal in mind to find a contender for a fall/winter scent that exudes class, sophistication and decadence. For that, I’ve already tried a few that I really enjoy, and kind of used these as a springboard to continue exploring:
Xerjoff Alexandria II- This is what I envision royalty wearing. Lavender and rosewood mix soooo nice in the open, and dries into a lovey rose/vanilla/essence of oud. The oud is really toned down here for those that dislike it. It’s kind of hard to pick out. Nuclear performance.
Initio Oud for Greatness- Another good starter oud, you could say (this was my introduction to oud). It lasts forever and the dry down is seriously heavenly. The wet, soily oud is at the forefront for 2-4 hours, but I’m absolutely in love with what’s left when it disappears. Lavender, saffron, nutmeg and musk mixes into the best dryer-sheet-like scent I’ve come across (what it reminds ME of at least).
Perfums de Marly Haltane- Quite similar in the opening to Oud for Greatness. Haltane is darker, though, where I get more leathesmoke. I think the oud in this is more subdued, or at least less moist smelling. It blends well and lasts a good while.
Initio Atomic Rose- Holy shit. Apparently rose gets my motor GOING. I tried a lot of rose-centric fragrances today, but this probably still takes the cake for its balance and strength, in addition to the scent itself being just gorgeous.
So with those in mind I was off to Neiman Marcus. I sampled a large amount more than what I’ve written, but stuck to the ones that were memorable; good or bad.
Frederic Malle - Portrait of a Lady- My favorite of the Frederic Malle. Sensual rose/clove/currant at the front, but it is kind of hard to pick out specific notes on this one. After looking, I can get the cinnamon in the background of the dry down, it blends perfectly with the sandalwood, rose and benzoin after drying down. - Carnal Flower- Some similarity to POAL, lots of tuberose and jasmine, which I personally like. A bright yet sensual floral, and you get some coconut and melon there, too. I typically dislike coconut but this is blended masterfully. - Lipstick Rose- Yeah, that’s what it smells like. Try this if you’ve seen people describe scents as lipstick-y or violet taking on that accord. Not my cup of tea, also leans more feminine to my nose than the other two. - Musc Ravageur- I really wanted to like this one. And for a split second I did! A clove-y vanilla sasparilla is what I first got, and it unfortunately turned into barnyard urine. I immediately remembered seeing some reviews stating this, and I couldn’t get my nose to move past it. I can tell there’s good stuff there, but not for me.
Amouage - Reflection- The only one I’d tried before, and remains one of my favs. Rosemary and pink pepper greet you with a deep, fresh spice. The vetiver and patchouli sit nicely at the bottom, and the combination of white florals mixes wonderfully. Another scent I could imagine on royalty, and seems pretty versatile, too. You could wear this year-round without feeling out of place. Insane staying power. - Lyric- Probably my favorite, but I need to smell again on another day. Compared to the other Amouage, I had to continually stick my nose in the coffe beans to pick up the scent from the test strip. When I did get it, it was a lovely light, fresh scent. Quite a departure from the other Amouage I’ve tried, but great. No surprise, the list of notes are some of my favorites: lime, bergamot, rose, orange blossom, saffron, nutmeg, musk, pine, vanilla, incense, sandalwood. Seriously, love each and all those individually and they come together beautifully. - Interlude- Another good one. Dark, mysterious. Definitely get the oregano/peppepatchouli/incense bomb off the top. Leather lurking behind. I typically don’t gravitate toward the leathery scents but this one’s good. - Enclave- This pretty much seals the deal for me that on me, mint just ain’t it. I liked Sedley at first, but the mint somehow gets too cloying to my nose after too long. I can tell I would get the same from the peppermint in the opening of Enclave. I almost liked this one, too. If you can even tolerate peppermint, you’ll enjoy this one.
Mind Games - Blockade- Wowww. First sniff love, here. Explosion of citrus, juicy fruit-y sex. I usually find myself staying away from citrus-forward scents but this shit is next level. This will be a contender for my next upscale summer buy. - Double Attack- Another love at first sniff. It’s familiar, though. Chocolate/orange/cinnamon/vanilla. You’ll want to eat it right up. I already have this box checked in my collection, but may come back to it in the future. - Checkmate- Another lovely scent. Champagne, red currant, rose, magnolia, little patchouli. It all comes together really nicely, and it was difficult for me to pick out specific notes before looking. Not a love, but I was really impressed with the quality and scent profile of the Mind Games I tried.
Clive Christian - Town & Country- Wow. No seriously, like fucking wow. Smells like an Italian fruit cart strolling through an English manor’s sprawling garden road. I look at the notes and I don’t understand how you get this smell supposedly out of Clary Sage, Ambergris, and Sandalwood. Like, what? This is high quality shit. I get some pear or grapes there, too. Try this. - Crab Apple Blossom- Yum yum yum this is goooood. Smells like it sounds. Bergamot, apple blossom and rhubarb dance around playfully together. Can’t help but have a big stupid smile on your face when you smell this. The more it dried down, the more it might be my favorite over Town & Country. - Matsukita- Another great scent. In the same vein as the other two since they are part of the same “Crown Collection.” You get some smokiness, here. Bergamot with nutmeg and mate give depth and a little mystery. White florals, woody ambers and musk at the base. Just quality stuff here. All three of these in the Crown Collection were available in 10ml travel size gift pack for $300. Good idea to put on my wish list. That shit is kiiiinda expensive.
Xerjoff - Erba Pura- I did not expect to like this as much as I did! Favorite that I sampled. Perfect combination of citrus and fruitiness off the top, layered over a bed of sweet musk. Something here is very familiar to my nose but I couldn’t place it. This will be another top contender for a future upscale summer purchase. - Accento- Soothing scent. Fruity white floral (usually dumb reach for me), and the iris gives it some powder but not overpowering. Not as feminine-leaning as I would have expected. - Iommi- Delicious! Sweet smoky rum off the top, and it’s a little surprising how forward the patchouli and leather is in this. It’s bordering on being a little overpowering, but it tames a bit on the dry down. I’d need to see how this goes on my skin, for sure. - Torino 21- Another one that I liked way more than expected. I’m going back and seeing mint listed as a top note here…I didn’t get that! And thank God since mint usually is a non-starter. Kind of an aquatic green to my nose. Again, just a lovely scent. - Naxos- Yeah ok this is good shit. I was expecting a sweet bomb, but this is definitely more restrained than what a lot of reviewers will have you believe. I’m a sucker for lavender and bergamot. Throw in honey and jasmine atop a bed of tobacco, vanilla and tonka bean? Yes please. - Erba Gold- Pretty good. To my nose more feminine than Erba Pura, likely due to the extra fruits in the middle. That combination of citruses, pear and melon is reminiscent of particular ladies’ scents.
Louis Vuitton - L’Immensité- Ohhhh yeahh. Relaxation in a bottle. My favorite besides maybe Fleur du Desert. This, Imagination and Météore all kind of dance to the same song, so to speak. More than one of these would be redundant, in my opinion. The quality speaks through each of these fragrances, though- really nice stuff. - Imagination- The name fits, as a lot of the notes here are almost fleeting like a word on the tip of your tongue. It’s a great, calming scent but it didn’t blow me away. Like I said, L’Immensité was the best of these and I don’t see the need to diversify within this collection. - Météore- Compared to L’Immensité, there’s a little more sweetness here. This leans closer to a shower gel-like scent in my opinion. Still great. - Fleur du Désert- This one started out reallly good. Honey and cinnamon into rose and orange blossom is an intriguing, sensual combination. Unfortunately, smelling it on my arm after a couple hours, the jasmine and honey turn into something my mind recognizes as an old lady scent. The POAL on my hand, by comparison, keeps mixing with my skin in a great pheromonic way. - Ombre Nomad- Disappointed with this one. I’m realizing I don’t gravitate toward darker scents like heavy oud, leather, incense. I can tell it’s put together really well and uses quality materials, but this isn’t one that was made for me.
All in all, my main take-aways include: Xerjoff scents living up to the name. I was definitely impressed with their offerings, and would have expected it to lean closer to overrated. Same with Mind Games. Really enjoyed everything I sampled from them, even if it wasn’t my cup of tea, I was impressed with the quality. Also, I need to get back and sample the rest of the Clive Christian house. I was absolutely blown away with what I tried.
A little bonus: I tried TF Noir de Noir, Extreme Noir, and Cafe Rose. Extreme Noir is excellent. A regal mix of saffron, nutmeg and cardamom on top of rose and white florals. Ahhhh, again, similar to what I imagine a king or king to smell like.
Cafe Rose is probably the second best rose-centric scent to my nose besides Atomic Rose. I’ll need to put those side by side.
Anyway, feel free to ask away if you’d like. I was bored and inspired so killed some time writing this out :)

i am a woman with pcos and excessive hair growth which leads me to shave everyday. i developed pretty bad itchy, dry and inflammed skin from doing so along my chin, upperlip, and neckline where i shave. i went to a dermatologist and he prescribed me protopic to calm the inflammation which i read is used to treat eczema. ive been using it for over a month now, and while the skin where i shave has gotten alot better, ive noticed a completely different patch on my lower neck, where i do not shave at all. im thinking that some of the medicated cream got on that area repeatedly when i slathered it on my neck, and since the skin was healthy there, it caused an adverse reaction. Anyone else have experience with this? it took me months to get a derm appt for literally 2minutes after waiting in the office for 2 hours, so id rather not go back to the derm about this to ask if i should stop using the cream...

I am 31F and have been dealing with this since at least high school. It’s been a long time.
I get these large red spots, usually marble sized, that are palpable and semi hard. There usually isn’t a head, but they are sometimes poppable with a little squeezing and hold blood and a whiteish pus. If they don’t pop, they will remain a hard lump for several weeks until disappearing and leaving behind a mark. Once they pop, I feel relief and they will scab and heal. They don’t leak or drain.
Most times they leave a purplish scar that lingers for a while. Usually, they are very tender and painful. They happen exclusively in my genital region.
I don’t do sweaty activities or wear restrictive clothing. I bathe regularly and use hibiclens. It doesn’t seem to make a difference. They occur whether I shave with a razor or trimmer or don’t shave at all.
Currently I have a spot that does not have a head or a large lump, but is distinctly swollen and red and is making it incredibly painful to sit and walk because it is directly between my butt cheeks. This might be a typical boil since it isn’t a ball under my skin?
Each time I have attempted to see a dermatologist for this, their appointments are booked out six months in advance and there are no lesions by the time of the appointment (of course).
They happen semi often, maybe a couple of times a month. I may have 1-4 painful lumps at once. It’s difficult to photograph because they typically just look like angry red lumps in my leg creases or butt.
I struggle so much to tell if these are persistently recurring boils, or some kind of acne or cysts or HS or folliculitis or what. I know a doctor will be my best bet on a definite diagnosis, but until I am able to catch an appointment when I happen to have lesions, does this sound like HS is a route I should learn more and ask my doctor about, or does this sound more like something I could manage at home/ OTC?
I appreciate your insight.

So I (19M) am on holiday abroad together with my GF (19F) of 7 months, and her family (parents, sister, and sister’s BF). They have a holiday home here that we are staying at, and the plan is/was(?) for us to stay here for two weeks.
We arrived here three days ago, and the thing that makes me want to leave happened on our second day here, so this trip has started of really well. It’s kind of gross just so you’re warned. Anyway, we had all gone out for dinner together and my GF suggested that I tried a dish I’d never tried before that’s quite specific for the country we’re in, and I thought why the hell not, so I did. What I , stupid as I am, didn’t know but probably should have, was that there was a risk that I would be allergic to it. So shortly after I had begun eating I started to feel anxious and a bit itchy. I know I should have taken it seriously, but the thing is that I’m always a bit nervous around my GF’s family and when I eat out, so I ignored it. Until I felt like my throat started to swell and it got harder to breathe.
I don’t know how I was thinking, I kind of panicked and we have already established that I’m stupid, but I felt I had to get away from the table as fast as possible because I didn’t want to cause a scene. And I still sort of hoped this was just a panic attack. So I stood up and took a step or two, and I remember being really dizzy before it got all black. The rest is a bit blurry, but I woke up on the ground with everyone leaning over me. I could barely breathe, my head and nose hurt, and there was blood everywhere. So much for not causing a scene. My GF’s dad gave me my epipen and inhaler, so my breathing improved a bit. Then I got the worse pain in my stomach and felt really sick, but before I could ask for something to throw up in, I vomited all over myself. Some time after that the ambulance arrived, and it was decided that my GF’s mum would accompany me in the ambulance, while the others were to met us at the hospital. In the ambulance the pain in my stomach got even worse, and I realised I had to go to the toilet, like urgently. But as I was stuck in a fucking ambulance that wasn’t possible. I tried very hard not to, but of course, like this couldn’t get any worse, I ended up shitting myself in front of my GF’s mum. And unfortunately, I wasn’t unwell enough to not find that to be a horrible experience. I have no idea if she’s told my GF about this, but I sure as hell hope she hasn’t.
Anyway, when we got to hospital I was glued up, cleaned up, and given loads of medicines. I needed to stay the night and my GF decided to stay with me even though I told her she didn’t have to. I was discharged the next day, which was yesterday, and I was told I most likely have a concussion and to take it easy for a couple of days. When we got back to the house, I was so tired I spent most of the day just sleeping.
I’m still tired today, but I feel a bit better than yesterday. At least physically, because I’m so fucking embarrassed about what happened, and I feel stupid that it happened in the first place. So I just wanted to be alone today, so when my GF wanted to stay in with me, I practically forced her to tag along her parents on some outing.
It’s not like they haven’t been nice to me, they have, like excessively so, but I can’t stop thinking they are just pretending and that they are actually disgusted by me. Because I mean why shouldn’t they be, I am, it was fucking gross. Especially my GF, I can’t see how she ever can be attracted to me again. We obviously haven’t had sex since it happened, but we haven’t really cuddled like we use to either, so I don’t know.
To make things even worse, I’m currently ugly as fuck. My nose is swollen from the fall, I have scrapes on my nose and forehead, and a cut on my forehead and scalps. And on top of that, due to the stupid cut I haven’t been allowed to wash my hair and won’t be able to do so for at least three more days, so I feel super fresh.
I know it’s probably childish, but I feel fucking miserable, and I don’t want to be here anymore. I just want to go home. I mean, I can barely look my GF in the eyes let alone her family, so sticking around here for 11 more days feel like torture. And as it is now, I’m not good company either. So WIBTA if I were to cut the trip short and just went home?
Now it probably doesn’t matter if I would be an AH for going home, because my GF will likely dump me when we get home anyway. But on the off chance that she doesn’t want to break up with me, I don’t want to ruin things more than I already have by being an AH and going home if that is an AH-thing to do.
Also, if I were to leave what reason could I give my GF that isn’t an AH-reason, because I can absolutely not tell her that I’m so fucking ashamed of myself that I cannot stand to be around her or her family, that would just be too pathetic and surely the end of out relationship. Like I know it’s excessive, but I seriously (not really) wish I would have just died instead of dealing with this.

Hi all. I think I have oily type skin, maybe combo, but the kind of acne I get is like small little pustules usually around my cheek bones and the corner of my forehead. I also tend to get them under my jaw line below the ear. They're not huge zits, but small enough that even scratching them accidentally causes the entire area to go fire-red.
Recently, I've tried taking better care of my skin again by drinking more water, making an effort to include more fruit and veg in my diet, and by washing my face in the morning. For context, I shower before bed and do my skincare (witch hazel, moisturizer) after my shower. In the morning, I still feel clean so I don't usually wash my face then though I've been trying to because everywhere I look says you should. The problem is that when I do, I feel like I only end up looking worse afterwards! Suddenly little spots I didn't even know were there are all red and causing my face to look a mess, even though it wasn't too noticeable beforehand!
I don't know if its the way I'm washing my face (I usually just wet wash cloth with warm water and GENTLY wipe over my face) but even when I use plain dove soap it still makes every single blemish flare up. If the price of washing my face in the morning is coming into work with every blemish bright and on display, is it really even worth it??

I’ve been on a low histamine diet for the last 3 weeks, in some ways I’ve felt a lot better, but in some ways I’ve been a lot worse/reactive and I’m very confused.
Two days ago I made a roasted red pepper sauce, in the hopes I can use it for many things (pastas, rice, as a pizza base, etc)
Bell peppers, garlic, sweet paprika, mixed herbs, ricotta.
All of those ingredients are low histamine
I boiled white rice, and combined it with the sauce, but made quite a lot, so put it in the fridge
Day 1: fine
Day 2: fine
Day 3: 15 mins after eating it, had the most horrendous stomach pain of my life, followed by nausea, itchy mouth throat and ear canals, jitters.
Took half an antihistamine, and about two hours later it started to subside. I still don’t feel 100%
So can anyone shed any light? I’m really confused..
I’ve reacted to olive oil before, so I’m wondering if it’s the peppers and perhaps I actually have a salicylate problem instead.
This is exhausting and upsetting 💔

Hi I'm very new to taxidermy so I may get a few things wrong
recently got this fox pelt, absolutely gorgeous, unsure if it's arctic or a colour varient of a red fox
The entire body is a pale grey/medium grey however there's a small white spot on his jaw and a white strike on the throat, please let me know if that's just the fur pattern or if he has white spotting
The phone dosent show it very well but the white is much brighter compared the the pale grey

Posting on here for some advice on whether to start using retinol again… I have a long story with acne and getting perioral dermatitis recently - really need some advice
For context, I have struggled with acne my entire life, from the age of 11 I was on multiple treatments including creams and antibiotics to try and control my spotty and oily t-zone. At the age of 17 I had a terrible break out on my cheeks, it was really severe and I had never had acne like that before. After numerous things I ended going on the contraceptive pill and that completely cleared my skin. I was on the pill for about 5-6 years but it really affected my mental health, depression, anxiety and mood swings were horrible so I finally came off it before the age of 23.
When I came off the pill I became quite nervous that all my acne would come back, I began getting spots here and there, and after seeing the rave about tretinoin online I decided to give it a go. It definitely wasn’t the best decision from me, I got the retinol uglies, I went in with 0.5 which was definitely too strong too quick and I was losing hope after a few months. I think my skin was just TOO exfoliated, I couldn’t figure out a routine and I think I was using too many products.
I then switched to Dermatica and got prescribed Adapalene 0.2% / Clindamycin 1% / Niacinimide 4% This felt better but my skin was continually peeling, it looks glowy now that I look back on pictures but I was still getting spots. Nothing drastic but I was definitely searching for that glass skin look.
After 6 months they switched my prescription and removed the Clindamycin (due to resistance to that ingredient I think you can only take it for 6 months). This was before Christmas time in 2023, the weather became really extreme and my skin suffered. I thought it was just the weather and I would lather in moisturisers and continue to only use Dermatica every 3rd night but my skin would not stop peeling. I contacted Dermatica and told them my side effects and they said that my skin is just getting used to it. I began to get a dry patch near my mouth which slowly got worse, I thought this was because of the weather but I got a lot of redness around my mouth and looking online I felt like I had developed perioral dermatitis.
Long story short I did have perioral dermatitis. I stripped my skincare routine to be VERY minimal and began taking antibiotic, I was prescribed Lymecycline from my doctor for 3 months, I also started using Azelaic Acid after following Dr Sam Bunting advice online.
Now that I have finished my antibiotic, I am still continually getting spots, it almost feels a tad worse now that I’ve finished the antibiotic (Lymecycline is also prescribed for acne as well as POD). My skin feels really clogged and my forehead just has a lot of tiny spots, I keep getting breakouts and I just want to not have to deal with it all the time, it feels NEVER ending that I have acne for the rest of time at the moment.
Here is my current skincare routine: AM - Wash face with water - The Ordinary Caffeine Solution under my eyes - The Inkey List Azelaic Acid 10% - The Inkey List Vitamin C 15% (just started using this to brighten marks) - The Inkey List Niacinimide (for my oiliness) - The Inkey List Omega Water Cream (if my skin is feeling moisturised I don’t use this) - Paula’s Choice Clear SPF 30 Fluid
PM - Remove make up with The Inkey List Oat Cleansing Balm - Wash face with Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Cleanser - Dr Sam Bunting Flawless Neutralising Gel - this has 2% salycilic acid, 5% azelaic acid, 0.5% bakuchiol, 5% squalene (started using this in the past week now that I have finished my antibiotic and I only put it on my spots, most nights in the week) - Sometimes I may use Paula’s Choice BHA or AHA (probably once a week and not at the same time as the gel above) - Cosrx Snail Mucin (if my skin is feeling dry or I have used an exfoliator) - The Inkey List Omega Water Cream OR Aveeno Oat Restorative Night Cream
Treatments: - I’ve got the Omnilux Red Light Therapy mask and I use it a few times a week (my skin feels very hydrated and plump from this) - I’ve been using a high frequency wand a few times a week on my spots
I’ve been contemplating using The Ordinary Retinal 0.2% maybe once or twice a week in the evenings, but I’m just really nervous and not entirely sure whether it’s worth it. My skin did look good on Dermatica (apart from the peeling) and definitely way less clogged than I feel now, so I feel really tempted especially hearing that retinal is really good.
Considering I’ve been using Azelaic Acid daily for 3 months now I feel like my skin is slightly less sensitive, but I’m VERY worried I will fall into a trap and over exfoliate if my spots still continue, I’m a stress picker and I just want them gone so if one appears I just need to do something to it. I’m also very scared of the retinol uglies, I’ve started a new job recently and I’m definitely worried it will crush my confidence on a daily, as already I get quite down about spots.
Does anyone have any advice if retinal is a good idea?

Zone 7b. 6,000sq ft of cool season in the back yard (with weeds) 2,000 sq fr of zoysia in the front lawn. I have owned this property for 5 years now but just decided I want the best damn lawn in the neighborhood. I realize this won’t happen in a season but it’s not in terrible shape as it is.
I’ve already treated the back yard with weed b gone to kill wild strawberries, violets, some creeping Charlie and a ton of clover. Going to do another dose of that in about a week. The front doesn’t need much help as it’s nice thick zoysia. I’ll be lowering the HOC this season and scalping heavily while dormant next season. Back yard is about 30-40% weeds and 2-3 types of grass… that is my main area of focus.
Getting a soil test asap but I already know I’m dealing with some heavy clay soil. This is the reason I plan on dressing with garden soil blend from a local landscape supply company (below)
Anyway, see below for a breakdown of my plans:
After weeds die:
Fill in large holes with top soil and compost.
Plant kgb/ fescue blend with 5% micro clover in those spots and bare spots from where the weeds were.
Cover with hay
Water daily
After seeds sprout, fertilize.
Option: Kelp mix.
EARLY JUNE:
Fungus treatment for the front lawn
Grub control for the front lawn
JULY:
Fertilize again
SEPTEMBER:
Fertilize towards the end of the month
OCTOBER:
Aerate back yard and clean up the cores
Mow low
Overseed with fescue/ kgb mix with 5% micro clover in back yard only.
Top dress with garden soil (30/70 blend of aged compost and screened top soil). (6yds) $330 for soil, $100 delivery. $430 total.
NEXT SPRING:
APRIL:
Pre emergent in the back yard.
Scalp the zoysia as low as possible and bag the clippings.
MAY:
Fertilizer back yard
Aerate front yard
Top dress with garden soil. (2yds) $140 for soil, $100 delivery. $240 total.
TOWARDS THE END OF MAY:
Post emergent all over.

I have dark sports under my eyes and my derma said it was melasma. He prescribed me a combo of Tret .05%, Hydroquinone and Hydrocortisone (pictured).
He said the Tret would help with the melasma and the others would help with acne and skin whitening.
He also said to spot treat every night and leave it on overnight.
I was doing that but I started getting really red and irritated and my skin was peeling. It was hurting a lot so he told me to sport treat 2x a week instead. The doctor told me that was normal and to keep following the routing he suggested.
I've been doing that but I feel like my dark spots have been getting worse.
I've read the FAQ and it said I should be covering my whole face with it instead of spot treating. Also I was thinking about putting on the tret combo for 5 minutes at a time instead of overnight like the derma told me to.
Should I change to a different routine and treat the whole face for 5 minutes instead of spot treating and leaving it on overnight? I'm not sure if it's working or not. I'm also not sure if I should switch to a Tret only cream and maybe the other medicines in the bottle I have are making me more irritated. What would you do?
TLDR: I was given a Tret/Hydroquonine/Hydrocortisone ointment and told to spot treat every night for dark spots (melasma), but it's making me irritated and the dark spots appear darker. Should I change the routine or maybe switch to a Tret only cream?

Hi guys! So a few weeks back, I was backpacking and I started experiencing red bumps and scratches on my body. I thought it might be mosquito bites but then another guy in my dorm got the same bumps, and I read a review of our hostel saying they saw signs of bed bugs there. I didn’t see any when staying there, but I really didn’t properly look.
So anyways, I travel about a week more, new bumps appear and are itchy. Then I came home and was really scared that I have taken some bed bugs with me. I have washed all clothing on 60 Celsius (or frozen for about 2 days now) put my things in plastic bags and out in the sun, or carefully looked for bed bugs before using them at home. Please tell me I should be home safe? My body is still itchy but I don’t think I have gotten any new bumps. I also read somewhere, that the bed bug bites can show up weeks later after they were made, but I don’t know if that’s true. Basically I’m scared shitless, and I want to hear from others I should be fine. Has anyone tried this? HELP?!!!
TL;DR
HAS ANYONE HAD AN EXPERIENCE OF BRINGING BED BUGS BACK HOME FROM A HOSTEL/ TELL ME IM GOING TO BE OKAY IM SO SCARED😭😭😭🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Patrick Mahomes is good, obviously.
BUT
Patrick Mahomes is the ONLY and I mean ONLY good QB in the NFL.
The rest of the QBs suck or are pretty good.
I’m going to go over a lot of the QBs here.
Patrick Mahomes: Good
Joe Burrow: Overrated, injury prone, acts cool as ice with no rings, played horrible in his Super Bowl run, and is a SYSTEM QB.
Josh Allen: Overrated and can’t win the big game. Turnover machine. Very wreckless runner. Might not age well.
Lamar Jackson: Throws the ball into TRIPLE COVERAGE and that’s why he had to run the triple option over and over. Injury prone. Carried by his play caller and system for the routes. MVP padder. Only useful in the regular season. Not useful in the playoffs.
Deshaun Watson: Values getting a massage over football. Hasn’t been good in 3 or so years. Injury prone.
CJ Stroud: He’s good and hope it stays this way. No red flags really.
Anthony Richardson: Dollar Tree Cam Newton. Injury prone. Poor accuracy.
Trevor Lawerence: Absolutely horrible leadership skills. Not inspiring to play for at all. Overrated generational prospect.
Aidan O’Connell: Didn’t complete a pass for 3 quarters straight and somehow beat the Chiefs. Very replaceable.
Justin Herbert: Very shy. Hides from cameras. Doesn’t have a desire to be him or that guy. Very smart and plays the position well but not inspirational really so teammates won’t give it their all for him.
Tua Tagovailoa: Injury prone, system QB, can’t play in the cold, and needs to get the 1 seed in order to have a chance at the Super Bowl.
Jacoby Brissett: Journey man.
Aaron Rodgers: Conference game playoff choke artist. Retirement diva. Doesn’t work middle of field particularly well. Not a likable teammate really. Only lasted 3-4 plays with the Jets.
Russell Wilson: Hasn’t been the same ever since he threw the goal line interception in the Super Bowl. Horrible at working the middle of the field. He’s slower now. Very corny, attention seeking, and fake. Teammates don’t like him.
Will Levis: Puts mayonnaise in his coffee.
Kirk Cousins: He’s liked and gets the job because he’s responsible but can’t get his teams over the hump and chokes on prime time games.
Kyler Murray: Midget. 5’8.5 at best but 5’10 if you include his Afro and shoes. Enjoys video games. Diva. Injury prone. Can’t play in cold weather well. Runs exploitable schemes that get worse as the season goes on.
Bruce Young: Somehow smaller with a very thin frame. Very injury prone.
Caleb Williams: Paints his fingernails but might be pretty good.
Dak Prescott: Probably the most overrated QB in the NFL. Plays well in the regular season. Can’t play in the playoffs.
Jared Goff: He’s solid.
Jordan Love: Pretty good but will struggle due to the division getting harder soon possibly.
Matthew Stafford: Good but past prime. No complaining really.
Sam Darnold: Sees ghosts.
Derek Carr: Injury prone and the white Dak Prescott on a worse roster.
Daniel Jones: Running white boy who trips in the open field when gifted an easy touchdown. Injury prone. Provides no energy to team.
Jalen Hurts: System QB on a stacked roster.
Brock Purdy: System QB on a stacked roster.
Geno Smith: System QB. Very good play caller who revived his career and offensive coordinator.
Baker Mayfield: Dramatic but has gotten better over time. Could be the new responsible Kirk Cousins who’s pretty good but not great.
Jayden Daniels: Will get injured on that Washington field. Small so injury prone too.
I realize this might be “negative” BUT the NFL is a “Not For Long” league and they exploit players in their weak spots of their game. Players need to get better.
Any QB can be traded if they aren’t Mahomes.
This says a lot about the other 31 teams that aren’t the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both myself and my bestie have trich that manifest differently (I'm eyebrows, they're scalp). My symptoms have gotten better. But my friend's symptoms have gotten worse over the years. Especially this last year. They have a genetic predisposition for thin hair, but they also have a lot of health issues. They're under immense emotional and physical stress lately and they have doctors and a therapist working with them. They also have eczema. We've had conversations about what lotions/oils exacerbates that but I cant remember what. I want to surprise them with little self-care gifts, and since summer is around the corner I was wondering if anyone has tips on soothing the regrowth itchies and sunburn on a scalp. My hope is to find some tactile relief too.
They cut their own hair but they only shave their temples, and they keep the rest very long. so regrowth is very aggravating. They've always struggled with low self-esteem and have been bullied for being non-binary. They're looking to feel more feminine right now. And the way things are looking, a shorter cut will work a lot better than holding onto a thinning ponytail. I know how to cut short hair and they're up for my help. But the temples need to grow out a bit first so things can be styled in a way that will make their symptoms less noticeable (and hopefully easier to manage).
I'm not the only one who knows about the trich. But I am honestly the only person who checks-in with them when I see them pick/pull. It's just been breaking my heart to know they're hurting and to see them hurt.
Thank you ❤️
