What the Fuck America!

[–] Potatisen@lemmy.world 51 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Has been for quite a while, it's just that Americans have been told they're number 1 for so long and most of them don't travel so they don't see anything else.

Moisturizers are often used in the prevention and treatment of irritant contact dermatitis. The present study was to determine whether long-term daily use of a moisturizer on normal skin would affect skin barrier function, hydration state, or susceptibility to sodium lauryl sulphate. Healthy volunteers used a moisturizer on one forearm 3 times daily for 4 weeks. The other forearm served as a control. Afterwards both forearms were challenged with a patch-test of sodium lauryl sulphate. Skin barrier function was evaluated by measuring trans-epidermal water loss and skin hydration by measuring electrical capacitance. Electrical capacitance was significantly increased on the treated arm during the treatment period. After challenge with sodium lauryl sulphate, transepidermal water loss was significantly higher on the arm treated with moisturizer than on the control arm. The results suggest that long-term treatment with moisturizers on normal skin may increase skin susceptibility to irritants.

Eh, there can be as many theories and rational thoughts as possible but the fact remains that Americans are passive, nothing will change and the people taking action know this. They just pushed full steam ahead and there's almost no resistance. The people who are already in government and stand to lose power are doing what they can to fight but the general population is just online sending crying emojis, repeating their latest buzzwords (did "a suit without a man" fade away yet?) and getting their feelings of accomplishment online.

It's bizarre to see a country like the USA be so passive. Absolutely amazing.

For someone who knows nothing about stocks, what is a P/E ratio?

The eyes... They're so human.

No, pretty easy to make friends. Closing in middle age, a bunch of variety of people in different age groups.

Don't know what advice would be real or helpful to you but whenever you feel like it's not worth it, don't pursue it. Whoever you randomly encounter that you like, keep hanging close to them. Make sure you're someone who makes things happen, don't just be invited to stuff. It takes effort at first but you shouldn't feel exhausted. If that happens (over and over, not once) you're not with your people. Make sure you have boundaries and demands, not in their faces but for yourself. Invite people to things you'd wanna do and if they don't like it that's ok, if they put you down for it, fuck 'em.

Something I randomly picked up along the way is the lifeguard motto (or whatever it's called,ni don't know...) you have to save yourself before you can save anyone else, it's an analogy, ok? Make sure YOU have fun first and then you can accurately see how other people behave and feel.

I know what you mean but it seems like she earned her credits. She's been constantly putting out great works.

Saudi is buying it for all the data that's been collected. What's the use for it, who knows?

 

Basically title!

I want to run it through my NAS to free up some space.

Tha ks in advance.

 

I saw another thread talking about dreams, I've had less than a handful of dreams throughout my life.

Do you dream? Every night?

 

Let's share some good deals!

I haven't really found anything, hence why I'm curious to what everyone else is picking up.
