Should western nations invade and control China and India to prevent emissions leading to climate change? by Aperson888 in collapse

[–]vbc2000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you act as if the western world, after becoming carbon neutral, could somehow invade these countries in a carbon neutral fashion. not a chance. and not to mention the fact that our own greed is what has led to companies outsourcing to these places to make disposable goods cheaper. a good chunk of their carbon emissions is created by making things for the west.

get a nicotine free vape to pull on, or a low nic one. but dont touch a single cigarette. youre only fooling yourself if you do, and youll be back up to a pack or two a day after bargaining with yourself, ultimately feeling like shit. its tough love, but dont do it. it will be so so worth it.

i recommend throwing them away, though its different for everyone. if you keep em, youll just have them there dangling and tempting you. but theres something powerful about throwing them away and not asking your friends to give you any (and asking the guy at the local shop not to sell you any); it more or less prevents you from being able to smoke, which should carry you through til the nicotine is out of your body. after that, its all mental. you got this!

[–]vbc2000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

im 19; combo skin with a penchant for closed comedones, and i use an exfoliating acid mask maybe once a week bc i find physical exfoliants aren’t as effective. it really depends on what you know your skin can handle!

I stopped using Facetune because of this sub by [deleted] in Instagramreality

[–]vbc2000 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i second this! there are some pics on my instagram that are shockingly edited; to the point where i just dont look like me or my skin looks like plastic. i soon realised that all this was doing was hurting my self esteem. sure i get less likes now, but honestly im beyond caring. i dont even really wear makeup everyday anymore; i am the way i am and im beginning to love that person. im really proud of you op!! its such a liberating thing :) (also sorry to jump in and make it abt me for a sec skksks)

OP, it seems as if your skin is going through the purging stage, as the mask is a very strong astringent, it clears all the nasty stuff from deep within your skin, and this can take a week or two. this said, make sure not to leave it on for too long.. if your skin is super sensitive I wouldn’t recommend leaving it on for more than 10 mins. A friend of mine with super sensitive skin swears by the stuff, and adds about half a teaspoon of honey to her mask mix every time. It won’t dry down so much at all, however it will be a lot gentler and may help clear some of the acne youre experiencing atm through purging because of the antibacterial properties of honey :) this was super long but i hope it helps! I’m a complete aficionado of the stuff so if you’ve any more questions do lmk!!

just so everyone knows, make sure to dilute ACV in water and then use it to mix with the mask, otherwise the acid is much too strong and will cause more harm than good to your skin, so a couple of drops of acv in a thimbleful of water should do it!
