  • Patch testing likely wouldn’t have made a difference, this is about extended use that probably broke down her skin’s barrier over time.

    When I had a baby and then got COVID, I started washing my hands more often, and really too often. Using the same gentle non scented antibacterial soap I had been for years, I turned my hands into a dry cracked and bleeding mess, and when I used the same gentle non scented oatmeal moisturizer I have used for years, I ended up with insane burning on the backs of my hands, and a bright red burn/rash. This was all in about a week.

    I stopped using hot water to wash, and only used soap on my palms/fingers. I waited for my skin to repair itself. Now I continue to use that same soap and lotion with no problem. It was never the products that were the problem, it was over use.










  • Yes, per semester. You can get away with way less if you go to a community college or online school.

    Having gone to community college and a private college, the difference in class quality is great, but not over 10 times greater. Maybe three times greater? The state school classes I audited were zero to 1 times better to be honest.


  • If the boss was born in '46 this is true, but she’s a lot more likely born at the later end of boomers, since '46 would age her at 78. I’m guessing she’s at or below retirement age, not well above it

    If the boomer is 60, it would only cost $2,267.87, adjusted.

    If they’re 65, it would have been 3,245.61.

    The numbers I got for tuition today: $41,540 at private colleges $11,260 at public colleges (in-state residents) $29,150 at public colleges (out-of-state residents)


  • If the boomer was 60, it would still only cost $2,267.87.

    If they’re 65, it would have been 3,245.61.

    Tuition today: $41,540 at private colleges $11,260 at public colleges (in-state residents) $29,150 at public colleges (out-of-state residents)

    Sure, inflation is a thing, but the difference in dollar amount is still staggering.








  • I mean… with all the negativity in this thread, every single person here is consenting to be alive every single day. While there are a number who choose an early exit, the vast vast statistical majority overwhelmingly consent to live another day every day. With such stats I feel like it’s fine to assume the default status is consent in this context.

    Plus, speaking of morals, we’re just dumb little apes. You give us too much credit if you think we can fight the greatest biological urge of all life over something we’ve completely invented in our minds : morals, and the morals of the unborn is like double hypothetical.
