    The term “anti-bacterial” is a marketing term. It doesn’t indicate anything about the specific ingredients in a product. For example, triclosan and benzalkonium chloride are banned in hand soaps in the EU but in wide use in the US. Products in both regions can be marketed as “anti-bacterial” but contain completely different ingredients. You’re willfully ignoring what I first said while falling head over heels for product marketing and implying I’m the one who’s not smart lmao










  • They’re not the best, but there isn’t a reason not to try if it interests you. A good friend of mine in his mid-40s was divorced from his wife and went on Bumble about a year and a half ago.

  • Was Desert Storm World War 3? Or the Vietnam War? Or the Korean War? Or Russia’s invasion of Ukraine? Or the US’s invasion of Afghanistan? Or the US’s second invasion of Iraq? People constantly claiming “here comes World War 3!” makes it sound like you’re excited for that, which is depressing. The reality is it’s not World War 3, and world geopolitics do not portend another war on the horizon of the same magnitude as World War 2.


  • The US Navy can try their very best to keep that strait open, but they simply cannot stop 100% of commercial vessels from being attacked when there are hostile groups on both sides of the strait with significant missile capabilities. US naval vessels themselves will become targets, and there would likely be some costly US losses. Regardless, the increased risk of traversing the strait will have an immediate impact on oil prices, even if no ships are actually blocked
