    Hello, I’ve been reading about the fediverse as a distraction from looking for a job. Hopefully this is a good place to jump in.

    Had a wholesome moment with the cleaning lady that p’s get yesterday. She’d be mid 60’s chinese. Was pulling some chillies off the tree for her and she came out really enthusiatic asking about it for 10 mins telling me all the different parts of the tree in mandarin lol.

    She was trying to haggle me for how many she could have. We went from 30 to 70. I lost but I had nothing that would work against her strategy.

        We might watch something that is on both of our watch lists, not sure yet, and perhaps a bit of Avatar: The Last Airbender. All I know is that the TV is ours for a bit, which is a luxury in my household.

    Moved to frugal.

    TL;DR: Face sunscreens are overpriced and adding way too many actives for marketing reasons to the point of me not being able to use them anymore, old reliables have been reformulated, and trying generic to get a more basic option didn’t work out well either.

    FFS. I just want affordable basics that don’t sting or cause reactions.

    I should have just bought from the same disliked but tolerable brand while it was half price.

        Yeah, that’s worrying. I don’t use a lot of products but sunscreen is kind of a necessity and it’s getting so hard to find something that just does the job.

        Edit: Am… am I going to be forced to wear a bucket hat next summer? Because broad brimmed hats flap up or sag down, and baseball caps don’t cover your neck or ears
