TL;DR: Look up Halie the Nail Babe's analysis of Beetles Nail Polish. She claims that the incredibly low amount of photo-activator compounds (way below other brands) may allow the gel to physically cure (get hard) but isn't enough to chemically cure (avoid permanent problems like contact dermatitis)

I think the problem with that is that the further into any coalition the "changed" crowd is brought, the more impossible it is to shelter victims from the crowd of people who are claiming to have changed and who are potentially campaigning for opportunities and access for others to change too.

I don't actually care if they changed in this context -- their change doesn't mean that victims of the condition they changed from have any obligation to make room for them or anyone else to have the chance to change, especially when the danger isn't shared equally. Victims don't owe them that.

It's super great that you found your way back from whatever hellish road you walked... but maybe don't downplay the dangers others on that road represent or start writing them a redemption arc *while they're still victimizing others*. Anyone who buys what you're selling further enables the harm!

I mean, we all do. 🤣

I have multiple fairly serious health conditions and come from a family that is very good at dying before 40. I also lived a very rough life for the first thirty years or so. I'm already an incredible outlier.

It's very handy, and such an easy way to increase your iron intake!

If this man is lying to us about his views about LGBTQ folks and women, he's doing it better than some of your Democrat darlings who spinelessly talked about helping us but neither cosponsored nor supported anything of note for it.

It was Tom Cruise, I dunno why I typed Hanks! That man has never stood between em and anything but a typewriter. 🤣

I've also used stainless steel as a deodorizer but I find that only works if the garlic was raw, and toothpaste works in a pinch with cooked, oily stuff but will make you smell like toothpaste.

Wash your hands with a little lemon juice. The acid will neutralize the allicin and the other aromatics from the garlic.
