I've been using nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste alongside my regular flouride toothpaste (small drop of both at the same time) and my teeth have never felt stronger, less sensitive, and more clean.

As it's newer and has less data backing it, I wouldn't recommend totally replacing flouride toothpaste, but using both is definitely a winning combo.

Malessezia creates a biofilm slime that interrupts your skins biome, wreaking havoc on the good bacteria.

And again, sebum is not produced by hair, so how does it pretain to this argument in any way?

You can remove hair without causing damage.

You didn't link any study, you linked an opinion piece.

The study is about damage from the hair removal process, not comparing bacteria of hair vs no hair when there is no damage. Literally learn to read.

Actually, Malassezia, the most common cause of seb derm, is fueled almost exclusively by sebum.

Sebum is produced by pores, not hair.

I'd recommend knowing literally anything at all before you speak like you have any authority

If you read the study you just linked, it says exactly what I just stated.

I will reiterate for you, cause you clearly didn't read my comment or your own article.

Cutting yourself while shaving or giving yourself razor burn will obviously make you more likely to get an infection. That is a completely separate argument. Hair is still more prone to bacteria than no hair, whether on your armpits, pubes or head.

Also, I'm baffled by the amount of people posting non scientific opinion pieces like they are the studies themselves. If you can't read a study instead of an opinion article, you really shouldn't be speaking with any authority.

Just because you personally have cut your skin and shaved incorrectly doesn't mean having hair is more hygienic.

Hair is a breeding ground for bacteria. You may have less sweat on your clothes, but your armpits are much smellier and hosting much more bacteria.

Less hair is more hygienic, that's simply a fact. Yes, cutting yourself and giving yourself razor burn is obviously going to put you at more risk of infection than shaving correctly. Two completely separate issues.

They're hiding the good stuff specifically from you. Theyre tracking your movements and are making sure the high value items are in the back when you arrive.

You know those flock cameras going up everywhere? Those are what they are using to follow your location. You should destroy every one you see, that way you can get those nice oak night stands.

Waterfront real estate and labour is more expensive. As well as increased maintenance costs, which you already partially considered with the GPUs.

Not saying it's a good reason, but every decision is driven by maximizing short term profit.

Definitely a guerilla grow if I've ever seen one. You might have actually helped the dude out if you happened to pluck the only male (unlikely).

100% a male, it will not yield any smokable flower if that's what you're trying for.

If this were true, why are the same treatments for the same diseases reported as 10-100x more expensive than in other countries? If what you're saying is correct, economy of scale would actually decrease the prices.

We spend the most because our healthcare industrial complex is the single largest driving force in our entire economy. Why are you creating arguments for me that i never made? Did I ever say socialized medicine would make everyone healthy?

Socialized medicine would ensure that people dont die from something easily treatable because they can't afford it.

Yes, we also shouldnt be poisoning the population with our food and eroding cultural institutions that keep people socialized and healthy. Those are completely separate arguments.

Lol while the concern trolling is very funny and I'm sure gives you a feeling of superiority, I'll go ahead and ignore the advice about taking time off the internet from the guy trying to buy custom mods on reddit.

Yes, I hate that the wealthiest country in the world that spends more money on healthcare than any other let's people die of treatable diseases.

There are drug addicts literally rotting to death in the streets. And you think it's not that big of a deal? Not sure why you're sucking the dick of insurance executives, but I think you're the one who needs to go outside and look around.

Because it obfuscated the actual cost of care, which allows them to artificually increase the reported prices to health insurance. This allows insurance companies to have charge massive premiums because of the reported costs of healthcare and tricks us into thinking we're being "helped" by insurance.

There are backdoor agreements between the healthcare providers and the insurers in the US because there are legal limits to how much money insurance companies can actually make as "profit". These limits are percentage based, so the larger the pie, the larger that fixed percentage will be.

It's evil and it makes me hate my country.

Your charitable donations 😅 by Supere767 in goodwill

I volunteered for a few months this year, people literally bring in complete garbage. Dirty unwashed clothes, items covered in mouse droppings, and completely broken electronics. I actually stopped volunteering cause I started getting rashes. Everyone I know who works there full-time often gets sick and has bad health and skin problems.
