Only half-joking: I really do think people habituate quickly to fragrances and scent norms.
I’m hygenic but I (and the people around me) really do avoid scented personal care products. I really notice when I’m in regions or settings where kids schlump around in clouds of Axe Body Spray or Summer Strawberry Juicy Whatever Mist.
Or when an older person has become so habituated to their own perfume that they’ll tell you with a straight face they’re barely wearing any. Ma’am, I literally followed your scent trail to find you.
For sure. I’m among them—very sensitive both to human (and animal) odors and to fragrances. For me at least it tends to be fragrances—usually synthetic ones associated with body or room products—that people are able and willing to concentrate to an overwhelming intensity.
I certainly recognize that others’ sensitivities can go the other way, and I apologize for sounding dismissive toward the distress that can cause.
And perhaps we can share a sigh over people we’ve met who like to combine a pungent personal odor along with a pungent concentration of perfume or cologne…
I genuinely havent washed properly in over a decade. I wash my armpits, genitals and asscrack usually daily with some all natural "soap" and thats it. No baths or showers. I get compliments on my skin daily and when I tell people my "skincare routine", followed by that I'm eating healthy, sweating daily through exercise, sleeping good and getting sunlight, they assume the not washing part is a joke because I "would stink if that was true" and I would have dreadlocks in my hair.

Its so annoying.

I think we should minimize very complex and synthetic products to our bodies. Although sometimes it’s necessary when we harm our body (e.g. long sun bathing sessions)

Turning on JS and doing the captchas just results in more captchas, forever, with no end. I have emailed science.org about this in the past but they only fixed it on the blogs, not the main site.
…Firefox as an alternative to Chrome!? Am I really that old!?
I used Chrome for years and years, right from when it first came out. Since then, I switched back to Firefox, and have used it for years. It works perfectly fine.
You need to spend time learning how it works, what are it's limitations and what not.
The newer it is, the fewer components, help and support you have at your dispose.
I don't like these frameworks because it tempts people to learn something that isn't going to get mainstream adoption.
We already have to be careful when choosing a framework like React, vue, svelte etc...
Are you building a side project? You probably should just do it with what you already know, it's gonna be faster and probably better.
Not saying we shouldn't try new things or build new ways of doing stuff, but in this case you are not really running your python code on the web, your running compiled js,html and css...
I much rather choose something that allows me to write vanilla js with some extra features like signals.
What would solve these issues is backwards compatibility. I want to be able to write a full JS/HTML app, a full "framework specific" solution, and anything in between.
Let me migrate my current project into the new framework and see what the experience is like. Let me hack some stuff together for fun, only then I'll consider the framework.
I too have this feeling sometimes. It's a coping mechanism. I don't know why we have this but I guess we have to see past it and adapt to reality.
