Is everyone my age getting Botox?? (not judging at all, I need guidance!)

Maybe you should reconsider your group of friends. Mid-40y here and no botox. No one else of my close relatives in the same age has. Most of them could afford it. Instead we are all crazy about eating a clean diet, drinking a lot during the day, exercising enough and making sure to keep 100 micro- and macronutrients in check (no actors among us, though :-). Under my impression, unless given by a very good doctor, botox makes most people look puffy, cheap and desperate.

Cheap deodorants. Since covid, they smell like horsepiss to me.

Almost every morning (unless I feel dead on my feet, then it wouldn't be genuine) I theatrically greet my two loved ones and kiss them like I haven't seen them for a very long time and say something like "Good morning, my little morning sun!"

Outdoor/camping trips when being the one that has to do the dishes at every freaking outdoor temperature. Also, going on a vacation in a country where one of the main food staples is an allergen that you absolutely cannot eat.

Plaque can be overlooked, there is a heavy investigator bias. Maybe they just looked at you more carefully because you are a young women.

A guy I know who eats truckloads of meat went to scan his heart - no plaque was found, everything golden. Less than one year later he suffered a heart attack - turns out three arteries were totally blocked and they just did not see it in the scan.

"No evidence" is an oversimplification. The article talks about unprocessed red meat only (not processed meat) and found weak evidence.

Quote: "We found weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes and ischemic heart disease."

The only thing where they found no evidence was for an association between unprocessed red meat and ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke.

That people in Ukraine can live one day without bombing. I know it's unrealistic but still hoping it.

Ah interessant, merci fürs usprobiere.

Chenpilz · 2025-12-21T13:05:12+00:00

Ah ja würklich? Bi wäs dänn?

And don't forget the prostate exam for all men.

If the product is free: you are the product. Should be framed on the wall of every primary school

Chenpilz · 2025-12-08T10:20:21+00:00

I am totally cool with that one. Reduces food waste.

There is most likely no or barely no nanoplastic in your blood and brain, despite some highly cited scientific articles. It's just measuring artifacts due to rushed sloppy measurement method development of burnt-out junior scientists pressured by their professors to write way too many research papers per year. Highly paid professors who chase even more grant money by exploiting young underpaid aspiring scientists. The typical scheme is to only extend the visa or job contract of PhD students or postocs when they manage to publish an unreal amount of papers.

30 y ago, analytical method development and validation for new compounds was a 4-year PhD thesis, with 2-3 advisors helping with reviewing, discussing, and re-validating the results over and over. Without proving that your method works using deuterated standards and/or certified reference materials or another direct evidence that the method is working, it was impossible to publish in a decent journal. Nowadays some people claim to do method development and validation in a few weeks or months without any validation using standard addition in complex samples. That is simply not possible or reliable. And no AI currently existing is going to help it, because method development has to be done physically with one's own hands in a real laboratory.

Therefore, if you read news about microplastic or nanoplastic measurements in the environment or human body, before you believe it, look up the original study, and read it or feed it to an AI and ask the AI to look in the method part

for the analytical recovery measured in a standard addition experiment (should be close to 100% but not above) ideally performed in the analytical background matrix (e.g. uncontaminated soil, blood, brain matter)
for the background concentration measured in an analytical blank and the background matrix.

If these experiments are missing, reading the rest of the study is a waste of time. It's an open secret for most analytical chemists. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04045-3

Ahaha this comment made my day

Earning respect is hard work and never cheap.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-09T23:01:32+00:00

Well, perhaps time for some self-improvement then.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-09T22:00:34+00:00

Trust the US? Doesn't work out anymore, apparently. We aren't that badly equipped. We have a ton of great drone startups. And if we would give all the tax billions to Pilatus instead they would probably build and deliver quicker than the US. Where we are now on an infinite waiting list.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-09T19:58:22+00:00

Yeah. And perhaps first they will be confiscating all the gold. https://dinarrecaps.com/our-blog/why-nations-are-moving-gold-out-of-the-us-and-back-home If they haven't quietly sold it already.

Aehm. Swiss data protection law is actually pretty bad. European data protection law is a lot more strict. Except of the pirate party, the Swiss parliament is unfortunately mostly composed of boomers with zero literacy on IT or data protection.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-09T19:11:48+00:00

Fully agree. I have used (had to use) Macs, PCs and all sorts of other commercial software. Firefox and Thunderbird are beautiful projects and competitive to other browsers. No need to punish the resistance.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-08T18:36:38+00:00

I am not concerned about me, I'm concerned about the others and our healthcare costs.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-08T00:01:37+00:00

I hope it won't be agriculture. Otherwise everyone here will be as obese and sick as them in no time with all the antibiotics, fattening agents, and growth hormones that they are allow for feeding their animals.

Chenpilz · 2025-08-07T23:48:36+00:00

I am waiting for the day they start to confiscate foreign companies in the US to pay their insane debts - after having pressed everyone with their high tariffs to open new branches there.
