RANTING/VENTING MEGATHREAD 3.0

Speaking of reddit, I'm having trouble posting photo submissions.

I'm not shadowbanned, I've checked and my comments get upvotes and downvotes. haha

But when I try to submit a photo, it'll submit for 20 seconds and then just go to my profile page.  The submission ain't there.

I have the new camera so this is very disappointing. I messaged the mods of r/korea and they haven't responded.

Any ideas?

They have to find their own blends and concentrations.

And that's part of the fun and adventure.

I'm still perplexed as to why you posted this here, CO4...

Woah, relax!  I was just teasing 

It backfired it seems.  Haven't been called a c*nt before, lesson learned.  Sorry buddy.

Waygook.org users Chinguetti and Aristocrat literally just taught me a whole bunch about something I never knew about. I never understood the difference between the different types of perfumes.

I used to wear Burberry London (not sure if it was EDC, T or P - look at me using terms I just learned) in the winter, and Hugo Boss XY in the summer. I have a weird body chemistry and everything I've ever tried has ended up smelling bad on me, except those two worked somehow.

I just find it fun to chat about, particularly as I love procrastinating when I have assignments due.

The last 3 things are performance, sillage and projection.

Performance is how long the fragrance lasts on your skin. EDP generally lasts longer, not always.

Projection is how far away from your body the fragrance projects. Can people only smell it when they hug you or can the smell it from a few meters away? When going to a club, you're generally looking to get noticed so more projection helps by announcing. When you're expecting to get lucky and want something your partner will enjoy as they get close, it's better to have the scent be discovered.

Sillage is the scent trail left behind when someone wearing a fragrance walks past, kind of like the ripples after dropping a stone in water. We've all had to stop walking for a second to take in the alluring fragrance of the person who just walked past or had our moms instruct us to open all the windows in the living room after one of our gaudy aunts visited.

The fewer fragrances you plan on keeping, the more careful you need to be with what you buy.

Ah so you just by chance happened to comment that with your 1st post after mod approval turns off. Interesting

Yeah, it's a precise science, lol. A lot of thought and care is behind it, and you can understand why most people can't be bothered with it. Most people just find something that they personally like the smell of and that's within their price range, then hope for the best. Sometimes that works out for them, sometimes it doesn't, but they're not always aware of when it doesn't, haha.

These don't really exist here in Korea, but back in the States a lot of the people they have working behind more of the upscale perfume counters are professionals who can not only find a perfume that YOU personally like the smell of but that which also works well on you. Some places even get down to the nitty gritty and have you fill out questionnaires about your diet and lifestyle so that they can zero in on a more specific selection for you.

And then they have those crazy places that will actually formulate a perfume specific to your body. The good boutiques that do this are really expensive, and with good reason, haha. I've heard of places here that will sort of do that for you, too, but they're more like, "What kind of scents do you like?" and then they'll slap those together and that's your custom scent, lol.

Yeah, jumping into a forum as a greenhorn and poopoo-ing on one of its oldest active members probably ain't the best idea.

I'm not above criticism, by any stretch, but man. What the hell is this?

I know we are probably all smarter than this but, please don't inject yourself with disinfectant.

I saw that too haha. But, hearing that thing say that, made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair haha.

Finally bit the bullet and forked out some money to buy an air purifier.  Someone around me is still smoking and refuses to stop so hopefully this will sort it out and lower my blood pressure haha!

I'll cut and paste this comment into the raving thread if it actually works

damn. well worth having one, i think (sadly)

Yeah. We have two, and they're definitely worth it. Also good to keep one in the kitchen, because frying anything actually puts a ton of oil particulates in the air, which are also not good for your lungs.

Frying is LITERALLY poison.

Nooooooooooooooo. You've played right into Samsung's hands. The more people that buy air purifiers the more the conglomerates like Samsung lobby the politicians to do nothing about the environmental emissions. Breathe that 2nd hand smoke in and play your part in saving the environment and the animals. For every air purifier produced the memory of the Korean tiger fades further and further into the realms of mythology. 

I'm new to all this so...

Can I keep it running all day?  Just turn it on when I'm in the house?  Do the windows have to be shut for it to work like AC?

Haha I know nothing 

Frying is LITERALLY poison.

I keep hearing my coworkers talking about air frying.  Is that a new trend these days?

I recently ordered an air fryer. I have no idea how it work, but apparently it uses less oil than frying.
thanks to covid I got back into a big cooking buzz haha
