Even then, a basic soap like Dr Bronners or your favorite “hand soap” does well for most of your body. People ask my wife how her hair is so amazing, she just washes it every couple days instead of every day and sometimes has some light argan oil or something to reduce frizz. Washing hair (especially long hair) every day damages it no matter what you’re doing. The most important thing is to scrub your scalp really good.

Being laughed at for how your body is is one thing, being laughed at for buying a fascist’s ChildishCompensationMobile is another. It’s a choice to buy Jeff Bezos’ $100,000 Dick Mobile and drive it around like you’re cool, it’s another to… try and exist? As best you can? Corporeally?

Like no I don’t need to worry about the feelings of anyone who gives Trump money and allegiance. They made bad choices that materially affect me (how many Twitters can these guys buy up and turn into a KKK Safe Place with this money?) and I can tell them they suck for it. Completely not the same as giving redheads swirlies.

Like, for context I also give distainful looks at poor drivers in BMWs and Benzes: obviously money didn’t give them sense. So yes I’ll laugh at anyone giving Musk money after knowing his true colors.

I’m not sure if anyone involved actually admitted their wrongs, it sounds like Ashton is sorry people felt bad not that he did it

I absolutely hate this situation and I was going to write a whole thing about how we wouldn’t do the same thing if an upstanding husband and father was convicted of murder, except oh yes people literally actually do do the same thing. You’ll literally have letters written like “he made a mistake but he has kids at home please go easy on him” as if actual murder isn’t a pretty big disqualifier.

I guess we humans have a blind spot to the most common sins versus the mythical perfect criminal who spits on babies and hails satan…

Not always, but the ones I’m friends with yeah.

Oh I agree. I’m saying some people really like the status quo, even if it’s broken.

I’ve only been lectured on the Pledge, etc, by family members of veterans. All the veterans I know are fully aware that the United States is a pyramid scheme and its wars are blood money for oil.

That leads straight to open conflict and a reorganization of the status quo though. Some people really like the status quo even if it means keeping the human meat grinder turned on.

It’s when records begin

They also let you just fill in whatever for height and weight, I’m surprised they even care about gender and age

How does that feel both shorter and longer than it actually was?

Also see if you have ADD/ADHD

You were a good bot, RemindMe. I want you to remember that.

(and usually, use the word “rule” in the title)

Approximations in imperial units helps me a lot. A meter is a yard, a centimeter is about 3/8" (2.5 per inch), a millimeter is about 1/32" (half a 16th). Everyone knows how big two liters is from soda bottles. A kilogram is about two pounds. Room temperature is 20°C while 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling. 50°C is about 120°F.

If we need precision we can break out the measures, we just need to have a gut sense of this stuff.

Happy priDE MONth, kids 💞

Welcome to the Fediverse! I’ve found that people tend to have a little more realness when they’re part of something they co-create vs merely participating in a company’s space. Even if the server this “sub” is on dies, Lemmy and the Fediverse will continue.
