  • Apparently antiperspirant is not that good for you so I did quit using it for a year or so after the pandemic so I was at home anyways. I would use more natural deodorant without aluminum or anything bad but maaaaaaaaaan my pits stunk and washing with soap didn’t even eliminate it. After I started using it again because I couldn’t even stand my own BO it disappeared immediately. I don’t always shower every day and don’t put it on except after showering and drying off and the smell after 2 days without a shower is much more pleasant than half an hour after showering during the time period I wasn’t using it. Why that is, idk. You wouldn’t think it would be that bad especially if I was showering. I would even try stuff like vinegar on my pits but it didn’t help.


  • I think they’re fine for people with health problems who need additional nutritional support but as a part of a healthy person’s diet they should play a limited role.

    Obviously if you’re going to be doing something where you won’t have access to healthy food or the ability to cook then sure, take something with you. But if you have the ability to meal prep a healthy alternative and safely store it, strictly from a health perspective that will be better.

    If you are going down the meal replacement route, limit both sugar and artificial sweeteners. These foods tend to be either high sugar or high in artificial sweeteners which, although approved for human consumption, may have some adverse health effects or unforseen effects on metabolism.

    You also want to watch the sodium content because various forms of sodium that do not taste salty are used as preservatives. Anything with the word sodium will be some kind of salt and it can be sneaky when it’s a form of sodium that doesn’t taste salty like sodium chloride. Add up all the sodium on a label and sometimes it can be a little shocking.

    Edit: personally I rarely eat meat so I use unflavored pea protein fairly regularly to ensure that I get enough protein so I just wanted to clarify that I’m not judging you by saying that this should play a limited role in your diet if possible.





  • Listen, I’m a hard working American and I come from hard working Americans. We built this country and we’re just having a hard time for the last couple of months but we work hard. That guy up the street, he’s needed “help” for years. That isn’t help, that’s a handout. He’s not trying. I can’t see any systemic reasons that things might be more difficult for those people, they just aren’t working as hard as us. I mean sure he goes to work but where is he working? Why doesn’t he just get a better job like I did?

    /s although I’m sure someone has said those exact words and meant it seriously.






  • Happens all the time. I haven’t clicked on the link yet, saw your comment first, but I’m curious to see what they’re doing here. There is a tribe near me who teach their language in schools and there are signs all over the place up there with the native names for places on them. The vast majority speak English as their primary language but I think it’s cool how they’re keeping Salish alive and using it to connect to their history and culture and as an educational opportunity.
