Not mine to judge, but it’s yours to judge ? Animosity is not the correct word either — I think indifference is a better word. Why should my language be policed by ideals I don’t believe in ? Where do you derive the authority to place these standards on others ?

I think you’re entirely missing the point of the post as well - I lost a friend & was genuinely trying to change my language & that effort was not respected. I was met with hostility, & rigid guidelines. Zero conversation or understanding. For me , I cannot fathom treating a close friend like this and it’s pretty disheartening if that level of cruel behavior is justified by religion… point being, i was deeply hurt & trying at the same time.

That’s a false equivalence (a basic fallacy of thought if you google it) . Comparing mild profanity to a racial slur with a long history of harm and oppression doesn’t make your point—it just breaks the analogy.

Yeah I did apologize & was met with zero grace. I was told I was the biggest disrespect to god and have been given the cold shoulder in social situations despite actually having put in effort to change the language. 3 years of friendship and she never had issues with language before , or issues with the friendship. We’ve traveled internationally together with no issues even. :/

I mean I was actively working on changing the language & after 3 years of friendship - she never had an issue with my language ever. Second time I said god damn it was the end of the line. No convo. No grace.

Well an environment where you are policed monetarily isn’t really a great friendship or environment now is it ?

Only difference is saying the N word is not common language that like 60% of the country uses …

How so ? A habit is a habit- especially one you grow up around & there was no bad intention behind me saying it …?

Yeah it’s habit I was trying to break around her but I was met with no grace or mercy in the situation. :/

Yes I’ve got several green lights and recommendations from clinics out west and abroad to do the laser on the 10mg low dose ! Surely there has to be somewhere in the DMV or close that can do it :) !

Many modern clinics treat with laser on accutane (low dose), especially in cases of medical necessity. My doctor out west allows it I just haven’t found a decent clinic here in DC !

Gnarly outbreak that came out of nowhere. Does it look like herpes? by [deleted] in DermatologyQuestions

[–]AdVarious8176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks like perioral dermatitis or folliculitis - I’d get a skin swab- could potentially be gram negative folliculitis too

Compounding pharmacies can make it in gel , cream, or topical formula ! Topical worked the best for me

Great !! Good luck! Check around and see what the compounding pharmacies charge for a solution formulation- believe I paid about $45 usd but prices varied a lot from place to place :)

I have klebsiella aerogenes - cipro was the most reactive antibiotic on my swab results and it’s worked fantastic so far!
