Can confirm, I do this for shampoo, conditioner and body wash too.
I get to smell like fruit and shit instead of “pleasant chemicals”

Anon wants parenting advice
I did this as a young kid. I can confirm it was a complete lack of empathy and likely a power thing. It’s something thats haunted me more the older I get, as it should. Moments like this made me realize empathy is something I wanted, so I actively worked on it, and it grew like a muscle. I’d say I’ve improved quite a lot but others can judge that
As far as advice goes, yeah teach em about empathy. While this is also psychopathic behavior, I see equally bad feeling based reasons for being that cruel, the same ones that motivate bullying: power and superiority shit

What was the game you were the most patient for?
Starbound. Waited years while it was in development, and my buddies and I just let the hype build and build. When it finally came out, it wasn’t even close to worth it. At the time, it still seemed like something that would eventually get to where we hoped (or at least for the most part), but picking it up every few months/years showed us the dev team’s ideas were great on paper, but they just weren’t capable of implementing any of it well.
More recently, I’ve seen YouTube docs that have gone into the awful development and bad treatment of young developers who weren’t paid, and fired after they caught on that they never would be.
On the bright side, it gave my friends and I a new appreciation for how great Terraria is, and why it’s similar features work so well when Starbound’s didn’t

What rule did your school have that looks absolutely ridiculous looking back?
Not being allowed to chew gum (makes sense) while a small school-run store we could go to in-between periods sold gum to students

How I see myself sometimes when I'm feeling dysphoric
I have these days too. As hard as it can be, the opposite good feeling will always be there to make the better days. Too early (in my case) to say for certain, but I like to imagine those days get even better and more frequent the farther in.
Hairs my weakness too; I’m sure addressing it will help a lot. Best of luck Queen! :)
Unrelated, Rom would have pulled it off perfectly in that episode

How do you feel about audiobooks?
I prefer them. It adds a lot of extra time to my day to slide books in. The simplicity of paper/ebooks is great, but I rarely find time to only read

What type of site do you hope becomes popular on the Fediverse next?
A solid equivalent to AskReddit would be nice. I know a lot have tried but they’re all too small at this point

What are some good/useful software that you use that aren't well known/talked about?
Filebot comes in clutch a lot
You can match “legal” media files with media databases so things like Plex or Jellyfin can see all the files with the correct seasons and titles. I’ve also set it up to move the stuff where it needs to go at the same time. Might seem minor, but was what pushed the convenience factor up above streaming services for me. Unfortunately not free
Also Usenet

Plus when the cables get broken / damaged, the cube just fixes itself like a biological healing, there aren’t borg drones out working on the hull

I think this is the difference between people living in super populated areas, and more rural ones. I have no issue getting a close appointment in Ohio, but it’s much more difficult in Los Angeles (w/o going to the ER).
