I HATE these shitty CLICKBAIT titles, title DESTROYED by FEELINGS

Oh I wasn’t saying they weren’t bad people, cause that’s fuckin bad if true, just that nothing about them looks like they’re the bad guys

these women don’t give off villain vibes lol

I think one of the unique things about being a millennial is we are more adapted to having a lot of technology in our lives than gen x, but we also grew up with less surveillance and have watched it blow up, so we experience more paranoia than gen z. Hence the focus on privacy and FOSS. I know a few gen z’s and they have all lightly mocked me for not using Tik Tok/Snapchat “because of privacy, right?” Not that all gen z’s don’t care, but when you grow up under constant surveillance it’s hard to give a fuck, lack of privacy is the norm.

Are you using an app? I can still read comments/messages after they’re marked as read, using Voyager

I always upvote Darnell, that face lol

I didn’t know it either, I googled it

It is harmless. But moving it to the inactive ingredients will still leave many of them without a decongestant and they’ll have to change all of their packaging/marketing. The other ingredients are usually for fever reduction or cough suppression. It would be a waste of their money to keep a useless ingredient.

I must be a placebo effect case lol. I use phenylephrine HCl and it seems to keep me clear usually. If I forget it I spend the entire day sniffling or completely clogged. Though it only works if I’m well hydrated, it will actually make it worse if not.

from Mexican Author

bruh

The author is Don Miguel Ruiz

Very interesting. I wonder what their metric was for determining it doesn’t work. Anecdotally, I use phenylephrine HCl alone and find it keeps me clear most of the time, but not always. I also have to be well hydrated or it actually makes me even more stuffed. Maybe the inconsistency is why they reached this verdict? Maybe I’ve just been experiencing a placebo effect?

I am American, but my favorite author is Argentinian: Samanta Schweblin. Four out of five of her works have been translated to English but you can easily find the original Spanish texts. Distancia de rescate (Fever Dream), Kentukis (Little Eyes), Siete casas vacías (Seven Empty Houses), and Pájaros en la boca y otros cuentos (Mouthful of Birds) are the ones I’ve read (in English) and can strongly recommend. Her books are often disturbing in some way, with stream of consciousness/hallucinatory narration. She dives into little moments in people’s lives and explores their humanity.
