Scented Stuff Is Going to Kill Me I Tell Ya

It's -8c outside and I have my window open a bit, so I don't die. Sigh. Sounds dramatic and all, but I have severe sensitivities to scented products. Right now, someone is burning incense and It's really getting to me, and I am having issues catching my breath now. It's not the first time it's happened in our "scent free building", but this time it's really getting to me.

In a previous place the woman across the hall got kind of messed up on drugs and sprayed an entire can of air freshener in her apartment and in the hallway. I ended up having to go to the ER that time, as my breathing was so bad from it. A friend went into my place and opened my windows and pointed my fan at the bedroom window to clear it out. Good thing it did not rain that day, as I was gone all night and the windows left open.

The worst thing about having this problem in your life is people not believing it's real, even though 32% of people have some kind of sensitivity to scented products, I just happen to be very badly affected. When you tell someone who decides to sit next to you in a cafe that their perfume is harming you, they tend to say, "you just don't like it." Seriously only once in my life has a person been kind and moved when I said something. Wait staff don't normally like when you move tables half was through a meal BTW.

I've been to cafe's that have it posted no scented products and the fuss that some people put up over wanting to expose everyone else to their scented toxin, is amazing. I thought they were going to have to call the cops once even at a coffee shop I used to frequent. The person kept screaming obscenities and going on about their "rights."

That's another thing people don't get, they don't actually have the right to enter a business, it's a privilege that can be revoked. Yes, there are reasons that have been made illegal to stop people coming in, but there is a great deal of reasons they can stop you from entering, and if you just push past, you are now breaking the law. A store or cafe is not public property at all.

Now the smell is dying down and being replaced by the smell of a wax melt. This person is full on trying to push the limits here, I think. I use a product that has almost no scent to tame down smells now and then, but it's not toxic to others and I almost never use it. Even the classic Febreze seem to affect some people strongly. You can look up how to make stuff like this however, it's mostly baking soda. You do have to vacuum it off after though.

In any event, it's not a great day, I need to do the laundry and that is a risk of being exposed to things that harm me as well. Not to mention I have hurt my back and it's going to full on suck to do the washing. Speaking of soap, I use a brand that is supposed to be non-toxic and made for people with sensitive skin and scent issues. It's also way less money for the soap, so I don't know who people use the hash stuff.

HOW TO FIX BLOGGER FROM DOUBLE SPACING LINES OF TEXT

Image
When you click on the editor to type text, it changes to "Paragraph" instead of "Normal". This causes there to be a double space between lines. If your trying to do a list, this is a serious piss off. So you have to click where it now says "Paragraph" and set it back to "Normal". I've had it a couple times not stay, and had to select all then set it to Normal again. As well it puts in a leading space (indentation of 1 space) you may want to delete as well, or your list won't look quite right at the top. It used to stay where you put it, but now it just up and changes it to Paragraph for literally no reason - even if you first set it to Normal - you click and POOF it changes.

YEAH THAT'S NOT A SCAM, I'LL EMAIL YOU RIGHT AWAY LOL

Image
 The anatomy of a scam. This is the exact format I've seen several times on other people's videos on YouTube (in the comments). See if you went to my channel the latest video would be at the top of the list and this was on an older one. There is literally an email link in my profile on YouTube and it was not used (even if it was I'd not fall for this crap). They use the words "your family" to make you react emotionally. You have thoughts like "Is someone hurt or in trouble"? This is almost always a way to try and get "money to your family member in need". Or it's a way to get information out of you. Sometimes it's a long lost relative you never freaking heard of leaving you money. There will always be a fee you need to pay for the legal matters to be cleared up and you to get the money. SCAM. It's interesting I've seen so many people reaching out on YouTube to people about "their family" this few months.

AI Image Generator Is Not So Intelligent

Image
Images created with Deep Dream Generator , and are free to use.   Asked for "a child walking into the sunset with the ghost of his grandfather." Got this instead. Asked for "a grandmother holding a baby in an old kitchen while a cat sits on a window that is streaming sunlight." This one actually worked, "a mother and son on a park bench eating an apple."

A Comment That Just Made Me Wonder About The Person

Image
I normally go out of my way not to make a deal out of comments but I'll do it this time. Please don't go looking for the comment either, leave the person alone please. So when you do a review of a movie, or on a trailer for a movie, you put the year it was released in brackets after the name, so people no it from another movie of the same or similar name. This is standard practice. How someone could be on the internet for over a week and not have noticed this is astonishing to me to say the least. Then again this channel of theirs is less than 2 or 3 months old only, so there is a possibility they are just trying to be funny, or trying to draw out a bad reaction. I don't look down on the person for this in any event, but I just am wondering how the hell you don't know this. They seem to think the (2023) is when I uploaded the video when in reality it was indeed 2024 when I uploaded - No one is trying to fool you dude, it's not a trick. Anyway, here is the comment in...
