Yea unfortunately it’s something that is not talked about nearly enough in medical communities and also because (not justifying it, just explaining) it’s tougher to see certain skin cancers on darker skin, my old Slavic grandparents have had several skin cancers removed and luckily they were all easily visible on their pale skin
That fucking sucks, there was a girl I talked to for a while (dodged a bullet shes FBI now) who had really bad eczema, she had to buy like big tube of lotion every week and yea you’re right most medical care in the US doesn’t really pay enough attention to skin conditions like that, especially in minorities unfortunately
I may try the one blade, I wanna save a bit of money and electric razors are nice but not as close of a shave. And diet changes are always good so long as it changes for the better. I’ve been trying these juice blends recently that’s just watermelon crushed strawberry and lemon juice and pith. I like it bc it’s like a smoothy but without any added 110% daily sugar intake
Born here, culturally I feel a bit connected to the East because of my grandma who lived in the Ussr for a period. It’s kinda funny actually, I see anti-Russian sentiment and staunch heavy support for Ukraine everywhere, but it seems Americans don’t actually know what is Russian unless a big Russian flag is draped over it. I regularly wear my Team Russia jersey which features the coat of arms. People have asked me if its from Poland. So I’m not too spooked by the Russophobia, more of an exhaustion thing, like ok guys I get it can you guys be obsessed w Will Smith again or bike lanes like seriously the “Russian people are all Voldomort” “barely human” is gettin old and not particularly fun to engage in when I have to either play defense in a conversation or just submit myself to hearing dumb nonsense.
Biden being worse than Trump is certainly a hot take, but I agree with that. Trump had some real demons in his administration but Biden’s ppl are making the world actively worse than Trump did. Sendinthetanks was one of my last favorite subs, I haven’t gone on Reddit in a long time. Yea that’s the only thing that really separated Trump from a few other presidents, he was louder and more obnoxious, that’s about it. Pompeo didn’t just get his start from Trump, John Bolton wasn’t exactly working at a grocery store before Trump brought him into his administration, these war hawks are all recycled from one presidency to another, playing a larger or smaller role according to each President’s agenda and nepotism.
That’s good that you took it upon yourself to help move things along. You’re a lot braver than I am. It’s also great to hear that there are still teachers like that in the US. My uncle is a teacher and I respect the hell out of the occupation for what they have to put up with(telling teachers what they can and cannot teach or rushing lesson plans), I hope you’re feeling better, I know how HS can affect people mentally, and it’s very rarely for the better
Running is great bc there’s usually a wide group of people. The top runners(usually a bit stuck up and brown-nosers), the average runners(that was me and my friends) and then the back of the pack is people who are slower and less motivated but usually really fun people. Everywhere is different tho obviously, so be yourself and have some fun, because in all seriousness, that’s basically what these programs are ACTUALLY for, fun and bonding.
Yea I don’t like saying State Capitalist because righties think that I’m being hypocritical and US left think that it means something else entirely
