  • i didn't try bamboo yet, but the wood handles of the ones i tried a few years ago, wasn't as smooth as plastic, especially when wet. this made my lips move with it, making it difficult to keep the foam in the mouth and can hurt.

    the bristles were from pigs/boars. they started out hard, but became increasingly soft while brushing. that was a bit annoying, but managable. it's unfortunate they're not vegan tho.

    in my region i couldn't yet get bamboo ones with soft bristles, which i need. that's why i couldn't try them yet. i saw some labelled "hard" at the store tho. gonna keep an eye on that

  • there's so much that can replace it. tinfoil with or without cardboard, waxed paper or cellophane, wood for throwaway utensils, etc..

    i suspect the biggest problem is toothbrushes. the ones made from animal hair and wood are barely usable and we have 8 billion people grinding plastic against their teeth multiple times each day and rinsing the particles out with water. this can't be good.

  • ppl sometimes ask where i'm from, assuming i'm not native. i use the opportunity to fool them a bit, by pointing in the direction of my birthplace and say "from over there". they assume i misunderstood and rephrase and i can reveal that i really was born just a few kilometers in that direction. i really enjoy doing that, because i think its absolutely irrelevant and inadequate to ask. foreigners will reveal where they're from when they're ready. some ppl didn't come for fun and being reminded of their origins can trigger bad/sad memories they're not ready to handle.

  • I think you should consider your mom is very hurt right now and my be overreacting by pulling you into the fight because of that. However, a cheater isn't a good role model and neither is the destroyer of marriages. She got that right.

    IMO you should suggest a compromise, like staying with him, but berating him and his mistress from time to time and should also be transparent about it, so they know it's due punishment and a compromise for not leaving him.

  • You can additionally use a VPN ot TOR to mask more, but in theory the VPN hoster or TOR exit node can see connections someone makes to the sites. The TOR exit nodes just don't know it's you and what you're doing in encrypted connections. VPN providers may know it's you, from your payment data.

  • but it doesn't do that for an entire index. it can just skim a few exrra pages you're currently chatting about. it will, for example, have trouble with latest news or finding the new domain of someones favorite piracy site, after the old one got shut down.

  • the problem with decorative towels is that you can't bleach or 90°C wash them, when they get super stained from makeup or blood etc.. well, you can, but afterwards they cease to be your decorative towels 😄
