My go to is anything with Ammonium Lactate in it. 12% minimum.

Major is the brand I use currently. A 14 ounce bottle is around 13 dollars. A lot of others jacked up price during covid.

I'll just quote the important bit of the sales pitch: "ACTIVE INGREDIENTS: This skin smoothing lotion is specially formulated with 12% lactic acid and neutralized with ammonium hydroxide for a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid and a natural humectant for the skin."

There's good qualities to this brand and similar from my own experience with this active ingredient. And some bad.

Good:

1: I have Ichthyosis vulgaris kinda like eczema but much less severe with a shitty name. This stuff melts dander flakes and keeps more from being visible all day long until I shower or sleep. God send for me to keep up appearances.

2: The lactic acid creams are day long hydrating, but lets your skin breathe still. Not a big moisture barrier. Won't feel uncomfortable wearing it even slathered head to toe. Can cover face.

Bad:

1: The active ingredient increases skin UV absorption. Be mindful of that, you can burn more easily without sun screen.

2: Weak acid, so there's a burning feeling applying it. I'm used to this and don't feel the burn anymore unless it gets in my eyes or a wound.

An alternative is another I could recommend for dry skin havers: An extreme moisture capturer Dry Patch Body Butter by Dr Ebre. Do as the name implies, little problem spots. This stuff is intense. If you cover your whole face your sweat will get stuck to you and won't evaporate at all. Don't do that. 21 dollars for 8 ounce yes, but it clearly works. Lasts forever since you'll learn quickly to be conservative with its application.

Thanks devs for making piefed first of all I love the alternative.

I really disliked these two options being enabled by default without informing me at the very least. I ended up subscribed to a bunch of stuff I didn't want to be subscribed to before I figured out what caused it initially when I first signed up.

Honesty I don't know why anyone would want that as default behaviour?

I'd like to sort communities by Top X amount of time, IIRC that was already in the works.

Native image upload support so I don't need an app / uploading to imgbb manually sucks on a phone.

Edit: if it's cost prohibitive to store media uploads even with file size limits I'd like more external options for image hosts than for example Summit app who only offers imgur as an alternative. Or let users enter a custom image hoster url or something.

I think with file size limits it's not really so bad for cost. Lemmynsfw proves that.

There's no artificial cap on the size I think. Not sure how long it'd take to shake the mouse until something finally crashes or overflows.

Well in case this is a self blame/guilt response: How most people say they'll react is almost never true in reality when put to the test, so just keep that in mind with some of the potential replies to this.

It's interesting to think about however. If the shop keeper is a perfect stranger to me I'm leaving ASAP like you no hesitation sorry buddy. The guy I talk to every morning at the 7/11 by my house? I'm not sure, depends on the details in the moment.

Don't learn from history, Detroit was a one-off right?

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 20 points 2 days ago

Likely true! I'm being a shit.

I think Winnipeg used to long ago? Certainly noticed all the boarded shops just randomly in the middle of older suburbs when I still went there to see grandparents.

Oh yeah the blog post is helper not doomer, but actually your point still stands anyways.

That's how eBay verifies bank accounts for sellers. Tom Fulp is a good dude.

Britain’s most tattooed man proves to be too dumb to get around this system as it stands and he is unable to watch porn :( He told the media :(

Daniel still has the RetroArch trademark registered in his personal name and continues to oversee the project and that's enough for me that he's still in a mangerial role, but you're right in that the last shitty thing I heard about him is fucking up netplay in 2022.
