  • Most Americans aren’t smart enough to connect the disappearance of Medicaid and stuff to anything.

    They’ll just see it disappear, be angry for a little while and write things like “make it make sense”, “a suit without a man” or whatever the buzzwords are then.

    Then the next outrage thing comes along and they’ll bite, forgetting what they used to have.

    Hey Americans.

    I really hope you do make a difference, I don’t think you will. I really hope that you can change things, I don’t think you can. I really hope you don’t accept a superficial gesture, I think you will.

    Please, get your shit together. Please.

    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.
