Blacks, whites, men, women, Mexicans, and vegans once almost accomplished something with Occupy and few years ago and it scared the Powers that B so much that they've spent almost the past 20 years destroying social connections to make sure it never happens again
Never did because it was stupid. The man's committing unchecked crimes against humanity and you're doing playground name-calling.
I think one of my earliest interactions on Lemmy was about how dumb a comment about the Russia-Ukraine war that used the name "POOtin" was.
Calling Trump "Drumpf" accomplishes absolutely nothing (seriously) and makes it seem like you've got nothing else than his grandparents' funny-sounding foreign name to attack with.
Agreed that it's a shame that normal (read: not excessive) body odor is seen as the worst thing in the world ever. Hormonal BO, like the stuff mentioned in the OP, should probably be addressed, but yeah for the most part I sympathize.
Disagree that antiperspirant is worse than stick deodorant though. Elaborated on that in another reply
"Aluminium is bad for you" has never been proven true for the general public and the association with breast cancer has been disproven for years.
On "deodorant is just perfume", I should've been more descriptive. I mean [spray, liquid] perfume is better than white stick deodorant, which clumps together, forms a wax on your skin (increases perspiration) and stains clothes. And is expensive for the quality of fragrance you get.
I use CertainDri unscented antiperspirant under my arms and a Green Irish Twead knockoff every day and sweat less and smell better than anything that stick deodorant could offer.
I know I'm being pedantic but tbh all you really need is antiperspirant and some kind of perfume/regular laundering. Most deodorant, as in, the white sticks you rub under your armpits, is pretty awful... I think I'd just take BO over that
This is actually really good to hear because I have a bridge I've been trying to sell so having a whole community that I know is full of the most gullible people on the internet will really speed up the process
What do you do for a living?
