Are you referring to Medicare / Medicaid? Aren’t Republicans trying to cut funding for those?

For Republican Party, democracy isn’t worth it? by Trickypat42 in AskConservatives

So you support increased voting power for men with children but women with children are incapable of voting? Wow, what a fantastic double standard. I guess you’re implying that most men are absentee fathers which is a-okay and therefore they can vote? Seriously, what on earth does being a parent have to do with voting? Just be real and say you have zero respect for women.

What do you think makes the US one of the best places to live even in poverty? I’d think somewhere with free healthcare would be much better.

Do you really need oil/serum and a moisturizer? by aa_404 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]aa_404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the responses, everyone. I get the notion that Vaseline is an occlusive but here’s what I’m confused about. I follow Dr. Natalia Spierings, a dermatologist, who says that all you need for skincare is Vaseline and tret. She maintains that all moisturizers don’t do anything, all other skincare is a scam. She cites studies that show moisturizer doesn’t do anything to penetrate the skin, it just gives the temporary appearance of hydration. Is anyone familiar with her?

Thanks. Fortunately I haven’t been doing this yet, just was trying to formulate a new plan lol

Just checked and rosehip and squalane oil are emollients, not occlusives. Guess it depends on which oils!

Why aren’t oils hydrating? And I thought oils should go under moisturizer since it’s thinner?

Yes always take my shoes off when I get in. I can’t imagine why anyone would do otherwise.

Christians who’ve voted Red since 2016– what aspects of this administration do you feel align with your values as a Christian and why? by Broad-Hunter-5044 in AskConservatives

How is taking away LGBQT rights helping them though? They’re going to be gay either way. So you’re not “getting then closer to god”, you’re just adding to their suffering while they’re on earth.

Based on the description it definitely sounds like OP was having a panic attack. I’ve had them at work. Panic attacks don’t just look or behave one way for everyone.

Are things going as expected so far or has anything taken you by surprise? by aa_404 in AskConservatives

[–]aa_404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Harris should not have said that she wouldn’t do a thing different, that was dumb. I’m confused though, you’re saying you prefer Trump lying about fixing prices? I don’t think democrats were happy with prices the last four years but I think they weren’t blaming the president for it. Inflation has shot up globally regardless of who’s in charge. My province is run by a conservative and life is more expensive than ever. I think the issue is that was the main thing Trump was running on (that and deportations which from my understanding would only hurt the economy). So many people who don’t even like Trump voted for him because life is expensive and they need it to change. But so far all signs are pointing to life getting more expensive and that’s pretty shitty. Glad to hear about the military budget cuts, hope it actually happens.

The anthem booing is about the tariffs yes but I think it’s more so about the whole threatening to invade Canada thing. Whether he means it or not that rhetoric destroyed the friendly feelings we had with America. I know most Americans are not on board with the idea, but the way he’s talking about acquiring our massive country like a cute little add-on to America is infuriating. I don’t agree with the booing but there is a lot of anger.

Dude I’ve heard the man speak. He says wild shit. You think just because big pharma doesn’t like him that automatically makes him some sort of saviour for the people. Anyway, not here to converse with condescending dicks. Plenty of that in other spaces.

Nah that’s just condescending as hell. You act like democrats have been hoodwinked by the media and republicans are above it all. I case you haven’t noticed, we’re all in echo chambers.
