Nothing works for me!
Every single time I try to shave... within 24 hours my skin breaks out and my neck looks like a damn pepperoni pizza!

A little bit of unknown helps, but... 😢
It's just a solution I use to disinfect my skin before and after shaving.

So, I basically gave up on shaving entirely. Now I just trim the beard with a clipper every few days. Thank God I don't work at a place where they expect you to look clean-shaven every single damn morning! 😁

Casey Palmer5 said:I wouldn't even dream of seeing a chiropractor. Honestly, there are way too many complications you could run into, and around here, the whole field feels like the Wild West—zero regulation, anyone can just claim they do it and start practicing.

No way! That's just not true!
Even in a place like Cleveland, which most people think is the middle of nowhere, you can actually find some top-tier chiropractors. I'm talking MDs who finished their full specialization—mostly over in the States—to become chiropractors!

If you’re heading to see a guy like Mustafa—who spent 20 years working construction before deciding to become a Chiropractor—well, you better be prepared for anything!

By the way, what even is manual therapy? Never heard of it... 🙄

I usually mix eucalyptus with wild lemon... mint is just a little too intense for me. When I'm totally wiped out, I might throw in some wild lemon or orange instead...

goldentinker79 said:Oh yeah... as a woman, I'd recommend using a hair mask and wrapping it in a towel (especially if you have long hair). Saunas really dry my hair out.

Doesn't your scalp itch under the towel?
I just rub a little baby oil through my wet hair and... boom. Perfect!

I hit the sauna all the time!
Last year I was there constantly, but lately I’ve dialed it back to maybe once a month.

It’s great for sweating out toxins and helps if you have a minor cold or breathing issues, but whatever you do, don't go if you actually have the flu—that'll just make you feel way worse! If I overdo it, I end up with a killer headache and I'm totally wiped for the rest of the day. That's why now, when I don't go super often, I cap my sessions at three rounds of 10–15 minutes. My old routine used to be 4 x 15 mins...

I'd much rather be in Turkey, but since there's only one "real" one here in the USA and it's totally fake, I'm stuck with the Finnish style...

Hygiene...
Look, the ones with high foot traffic aren't always the cleanest, but hey... it is what it is!

Colonija is electronic... but so is Moloko!

Dire Straits are rockers... But damn it... even Thompson is a rocker!!!

They've got drums, long-haired guitarists, bass players, the whole nine yards... Right?

And what was I saying about musical snobbery? 😁

Alex Martinez4 said:Whoa... bold claim there... can you walk me through why you think the guy can't actually play?..... I get not liking his style or whatever, but I don't follow how you got to that conclusion.... please explain...

It's actually the opposite... 😁
I absolutely love his sound, but technically? He's playing at a garage band level! Just listen to some of Supernatural. The tone is killer, the solos are fantastic, and then... he just trips up because he can't keep the tempo! Honestly, he'd be better off handing his parts over to someone else—someone who could nail his specific vision and sound while actually staying on beat!

Same goes for Ritchie Blackmore! Deep Purple is my all-time favorite band and I'd say the man is basically the backbone of their sound, but let's be real: he's the messiest famous guitarist ever. Page, Green, and a whole bunch of other players were miles ahead of Blackmore. At least when it comes to technique...

With Satriani, it's the reverse!
Technically, he's flawless, but let's be honest... he's boring as hell!

Hold up a second!!!
Why are we all trashing Santana lately!?
Look... Sure, the guy hasn't dropped a killer album since Abraxas, but with stuff like "Samba Pa Ti" or "Black Magic Woman," he basically cemented his place in history. So what? He might not be the most technical shredder out there, but he absolutely nailed that signature guitar tone. That’s why he’s ranked among the "greatest" of all time.

Then life just threw him a curveball... He got old!
And he realized the easiest way to stay relevant (and make a quick buck) was to lean on his legacy and hire some young, hungry, insanely talented musicians. They do the heavy lifting on the tracks, he shows up with that unmistakable—if slightly rough—guitar sound, and the legend of Santana stays alive and kicking!

Rock on!
If you know, you know...

We can complain all we want, but at the end of the day, he’s just gonna keep doing this: 🙂

darkbison81 said:The only advice I’ve got is this: use some common sense. Try to dig through all that "info" we're being fed and actually find the facts.

So, how much does a healthy person who lives an active lifestyle and stays in peak physical shape actually need in terms of supplements? Like, what would they even take?
(And I'm not talking about bodybuilding gear or medical prescriptions...)

So, are you basically saying most of the stuff we see in commercials—which is all just various forms of natural chemicals anyway—is actually unproven???

Like, there’s zero solid evidence that taking this stuff long-term actually does what they claim it does...

I’m struggling to put this into words perfectly, but I think you get what I mean... 😉

Blue Eyes White Dragon said:I hit the Cinema most of the time... I'm watching like 4 or 5 movies a week at the theater...

😲 😲 😲

Me too, I mostly stick to the Cinema, but even one movie a week is way too much for me! I have no clue how people find that much free time... 😕

True... unless he also checked the box saying he's under 13! 😁
