  • …yes, educating your children on how to have safer sex is a good way to prevent the possible pregnancy you clutched your pearls about in your first comment.

    Or you could go the puritanical way, not educating, just condemning, pushing the teens to have unsafe sex in an unsafe environment, too scared to trust you and ending up in the scenario you yourself created the perfect conditions for - an unwanted teen pregnancy.










  • Meh, disagree. The bike I liked the most was the one I bought used for 15€ from a dude down the street, brought it to the old grandpa who fixes bikes for cheap for fun, paid him 35€ for some maintenance, check the gearbox, new brake saddles, oil everything up.

    50€ in total, awesome city bike, although a bit heavy and without all the fancy shit, but I just left it chained to a lamp in the street, nobody wants to steal a 50yo bike and even if, it was just 15€. When I moved to a different city I sold it to my neighbor for 15€ again. He still uses it from what I hear.


  • As you said, the increase in oiliness is compounded upon daily use of shampoo

    As a short term effect, not a long term change in sebum production, the sebum glands are most likely primarily genetically and hormonally controlled.

    I also said

    Some people experience less oiliness over time, but this is likely due to changes in distribution, absorption, and perception, rather than a true shift in sebum gland function.


    Using it frequently will eventually strip all of the oils out (if you’ve got long hair - People with shorter hair shouldn’t have an issue).

    I know what you’re saying, but it could be interpreted as that the glands on your scalp just stop producing altogether, which is not true and if it happens likely presents a serious medical issue.

    I briefly touched on the distribution of oil in your hair - if you brush long hair thoroughly and frequently you distribute the oil from the glands to the tips, which gives the perception of less oilier hair and is in fact, very healthy. Oil in short hairs obviously distributes faster and more easily from the glands to the tips, so a more frequent use of shampoo doesn’t impact healthy hair as much.

    Like I said, proper scalp hygiene can accommodate a wide range of hair washing habits. But if you forego that you’ll get nasty issues.

  • As someone who doesn’t use shampoo and has hair which has re-adapted to not having the natural oils stripped out

    That’s very likely not a thing. The natural oil production (sebum) is primarily influenced by genetics and hormones.

    Some people experience less oiliness over time, but this is likely due to changes in distribution, absorption, and perception, rather than a true shift in sebum gland function.

    Frequent washing with harsh shampoos can temporarily increase oiliness due to compensatory production.

    However, studies suggest this is a short-term effect rather than a long-term change in sebum gland activity.

    ** Showers are a good thing. **

    Absolutely, using shampoo or not, proper scalp hygiene is important, too much sebum creates bacteria friendly environments, which can lead to infections.


  • Pug and other tankies act like the USSR was somehow better than nazi Germany and literal hitler

    I don’t know what kind of history you and the other user have, but nothing in their comments in this Threads indicates that to me. In fact YOU brought it up unprompted.

    I’m not arguing that one or the other was less evil

    Yes you were.

    Your first comment:

    We should have let Hitler take over completely so that failed state wouldn’t be what it is today.

    Implying that Hitler would’ve meant the better outcome for the Soviet Union.


  • Okay, let me get my calculator and we can figure out who would’ve been preferable, because numbers are apparently the only deciding factor here.

    Stupid nonsense. Maybe don’t argue FOR Hitler? You can argue against the soviet’s all day long, fine and dandy, but maybe don’t argue for hitler as the better choice?

    You ‘whatabout’ types don’t seem to grasp that you can’t calculate evil against one another? You know that it is possible to analyze both those unjust regimes just on their own, without getting into some sort of “kill ratio dick measuring contest” one can come to the conclusion that BOTH those system were unjust and cruel.


  • What’s still mind boggling to me is, after these initial stages, with unfathomable losses and setbacks, they still came back.

    Losses and setbacks that would’ve utterly crushed almost any nation on earth.

    From 1941 to 1942 - around 1000 km of land ,10 million casualties in soldiers, 30.000 destroyed tanks, 34.000 lost planes, 85.000 artillery pieces, estimated 6-10 million civilians killed.

    From a perspective of the Germans, if your enemy can take those losses, those unimaginable gigantic losses on every scale, and they still find the manpower, equipment and will to go on a COUNTER OFFENSIVE, you’re just fucked, no way you’re going to win this war.
