What would you do if a scraggly homeless person knocked on your door, and all he asked was for a sandwich, a bottle of water, a bath, and perhaps a beard trim? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

First I'd wonder how they got through my security gate. I would not let them in. I'm a 5'3" middle-aged woman and I know my limitations, I'm not as young and strong as I used to be. I would talk to them through the door and not open it. If they said they wanted food and water, I might give them something but I would tell them to back up far away from the door before I put anything out there for them. Once they took it, I would ask them to leave.

Any tips on dealing with people that don't like you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Haters gonna hate. It probably comes from a sense of jealousy or low self-esteem. Don't let those people get to you. Don't give them a single moment of your brain power. If you do, they win.

is it normal that I need to apply more sunscreen to certain parts of my body? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

I don't use sunscreen on my legs, because they're so Goddamn white I swear they reflect the sun's rays right back at it. I can sit in the sun for hours and you'd never know it looking at my legs.

What occupation requires the most education/training only to be very low paid? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

This right here. I took an EMT course at the local community college in 1999, then learned that the pay was minimum wage. Never got a job as an EMT because I needed more money to live.

whats something that brings you back to your childhood happy place? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

Right there with you on the comic books, though I was born in '80. Saving my money ($1.25) to go buy the new release at the corner store was always such a thrill. I still have most of them and have added to the collection over the decades.

What universally beloved videogame you just can't enjoy? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (4 children)

The entire Final Fantasy franchise, with the exception of Dissidia. I just don't like that style of game play where you have to stop in the middle of fighting, pick what you wanna do, then watch them do it. I'm also not a fan of Pokémon for the same similar reason.

My piece of shit phone case says "AI Autofocus" on it near the holes for the camera lenses and it's ridiculous

What generation are you? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Same. I like the term "Xennial" for those of us who were born I'm the early 80s. I definitely feel like I am both X and Millennial sometimes.

Everything going on has got me down, I need a break. What's something good that's happened in your life recently? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] grasshopper_mouse@lemmy.world 44 points 1 week ago (5 children)

My partner and I replaced the broken kitchen faucet all by ourselves, which might sound lame, but neither of us is a plumber, and it's glorious to have running water in the kitchen again.

Doesn't need to be a life or death situation, just any moment in your life where you found yourself saying "Holy shit, I can't believe this is happening!"

Detangler brush recommendation (www.target.com)
 

Hello fellow curly-haired people!

I just wanted to recommend the linked detangler brush. I use this one in the shower on wet hair and it has been a game-changer-- way less pulling and breakage and hair loss in general. I was using a wide-tooth comb before I came across this brush, but it's soooo much nicer and I don't spend 30 minutes picking through my hair now. If you haven't tried one of these brushes, it's totally worth the $5!

Nestle Alternatives (lemmy.world)
 

Hello, and a big FUCK YOU to Nestle!

I wanted to start a thread where we could share any Nestle-alternative products we have come across! I will get the ball rolling with what I have found over the years:

KitKat- KitKats used to be my very favorite candy, so I was bummed when I learned they are made by Nestle. This is now my go-to alternative: https://norwegianfoodstore.com/products/kvikk-lunsj-chocolate-3-x-47-gram

Kiehl's skincare products- I used to use Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, but now use e.l.f Holy Hydration face cream, which has the same ingredients and costs much less per ounce https://www.elfcosmetics.com/elf-skin

Starbucks ground/whole bean coffee- Some of the bags you buy in the supermarket are made by Nestle (you have to check the back and sides of the bag to be sure). I stopped buying Starbucks and started buying bags of whole bean from a local coffee shop that roasts their own

Garnier hair care products- I dye my hair frequently and used to use Garnier product, whose parent company is L'Oreal, which is owned by Nestle. I now use Clairol instead

For a large list of Nestle-owned products, see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestl%C3%A9_brands

What are some Nestle-alternative brands that others here have found and enjoy?
