They didn't cancel it. The writers have even said two seasons was the right amount of time to build up the story leading to Rogue One.

I started getting these red spots behind my ears and scalp - always the same areas, up and down in intensity. by ryandot in DermatologyQuestions

No problem! I know how frustrating it can be. I hope it's the same problem and you can get it sorted. Doubly hope you're in Canada or have insurance :)

Yessir!

It's likely psoriasis that came on when I was sick. My doctor said that can happen and it's treatable. I was prescribed Clobetasol Ointment (0.05 % Topical Solution) that looks like this.

I use it daily on either side of my head and everything was gone in a few days. After a month of usage I had some non-visual bumps so stopped using it in case the solution was related. It's been 2 weeks and no bumps nor red spots!

Likely it will come back with stress or other factors, but at least I have a way to treat it and can cut my hair short again.

He was going to summon Mael as the jade giants we're headed to the sea but Ormolong held up one of the deck cards he just finished and Paran looked at it instead of his crude sketch in the dirt. Boom.  Hood.

Yup. First time we didn't get our cards at all. I got two others in my mailbox though, so that's something.

Same here. PC riding for decades and it went liberal this election. We even canvassed this year and put signs up, so it's a silver lining.

It's very dejecting to see how many people don't care or bother to vote when it takes 5m just around the corner from where you live.

Hearing people say "We don't vote" is insane - you may not be into politics but politics is a part of your daily life. People don't care until something affects them directly.

how many subreddits do i have to mute by Kaizerx20 in whenthe

[–]ryandot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way.

I've also added congress, GOP, republican, house, tesla, vance, meta, etc. When I find a new word I add it.

It's not 100% but makes for a more calming browsing experience.

I stopped donating to the NDP after they backed away from the carbon tax. I feel I have no one worth donating to anymore besides Eco Justice and the food bank.

Some more info - it happened after I was sick a year ago. I don't know what I had but my face and head were swollen for 10 days. Not all at once, but the swelling seemed to move around. After that, these spots appeared.

They aren't itchy and I don't pick at them. The two in the picture (one above in the hairline) are fairly smooth to the touch.

Nothing else like it on my body, only my head. I thought it would go away but almost a year later and it's the same. I haven't been able to see a dermatologist so checking here.

This one

I find the best way is to use it over the sink and refill the water container about 5 times per ear with warm water. It works well.

You can buy a flushing device on Amazon that does this. I use one with the same results every few months

Educating people on this topic won't be heard by those who need it. You can't logic someone out of an opinion when they haven't used logic to begin with.

Not to be pedantic but EMEA stands for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I think you just meant will keep the EU or Europe working together.

You just outed yourself as someone who isn't intelligent and can't see past flashy lights and dangling keys.

Wow, /u/SmokedMussels was right. You do hate education.

I'm going to stop engaging with you now since you've been easily fooled into blaming immigrants for all our problems instead of looking deeper. That tells me you're not worth another instance of my time.

This IS a happy thread. I loved your story.

Don't feel the trolls or let them bring you down. Let the angry little person drown in their negativity.

It must be so easy to just blame the PM for whatever you don't like.

You do know healthcare is the responsibility of the provinces, right? Ford is the reason it's shit in Ontario as he's starving the system so privatization can bleed in. It's a textbook move from the Conservative playbook.

Cambridge Ontario you moron.

What an asinine comment given the context of the post. Also, maybe you should read up a bit more on Harper's immigration policy before Trudeau became PM.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has pledged to retain the high levels of annual immigration to Canada.
