I think a lot of the fancy brand-name “acne treatments” actually include ingredients that cause more acne, to keep people buying it. Cause it seems like the people who put the most effort into acne treatment always have the worst acne.

bruh, don’t you see the problem in your argument?

People who have acne will want to get rid of it, so they will buy acne treatments to at least make it less bad, people who don’t have acne won’t want to buy acne treatments because they have none in the first place.

And yes, they do work, at least is way, way, waaaaaay worse than not using them.

even if they were conspiring for whatever reason, you would only need a company to come and sell an effective treatment and everybody would flock to that company.

is just… xd

I’m too lazy to buy champoo, so i a lot of times just wash my hair with soap for long stretches of time.

it’s all justa thing that contains a thing that causes oily stuff to mix with watery stuff so water can wash it off, and nukes bacteria’s membranes and viruses in the process.

yes, in chile they always do campaigns, is a fact of life since forever, so for me it’s quite surprising the global craze about it.

Hanta has been a thing in chile since the 90s, I don’t know what the fuss is about.

sure not the only one, but like, goverments usually try to have kids not die of malnutrition or whatever.

USdefaultism!

literally USdefaultism

YOUR* goverment

I always wanted kids, it seems so sweet.

I wonder what kind of surprises do they have prepared for the parade.

good pun

my country extracts copper nor uranium, I just used it as an example.

but the story is the same, the thing people in third world country needs the least is for countries to stop buying their exports, and also that mining can be done way more modernly.

chile lol, it was a crazy experience it lasted long enough for the cell network to fail, I was fortunately in home but it was chaotic for people going home at the time, the goverment ordered a curfew to be had at night so people also were in a hurry, and it was quite a thing lol, I only had the radio left to inform myself on what was happening and it was crazy stuff hearing how they talked about the efforts to cold start the grid back again, they had to do like 3 attempts before success, “the Rapel dam is on maximum power, trying to provide energy to x power plan who then may be able to provide energy to…”

About the point 2.

I live in a thinrd world country, and it angers me to no end when they try to take this moral stand when a lot of times they’re the ones who didn’t let us all develop in the first place lol.

My country depends on it’s mining industry, the biggest copper mining country in the world and i think the 2nd on lithium, they say it’s the wage of chile, most of the copper is extracted by the State owned CODELCO, wich money goes to schools and hospitals, and even the one who is mined privately is taxed and has to pay royalties that go to help the people.

Miners aren’t even poorly paid for Chilean standards, and they have benefits, they’re strongly unionized lol, and mines here have an extremely high tech level, making people don’t have to go to risky places, a lot of mines are totally automated, where robots extract the material and take it out, while their operators sit comfortably in a control room in the city.

So don’t come to lecture me on these “poor people in third world countries” because you know nothing, you are a firstworlder who had benefited from colonization and political meddling in our affairs, now that we’re finally advancing, and making a better country for ourselves, you come to say this thing? Bruh.

I fully agree that solar will be the majority of electricity produced in the near future, but photovoltaic has the disadvantage of following the sun, and honestly, chermical batteries aren’t really the solution (and I’m saying this when my country is one of the biggest lithium producers in the world) Gravity batteries are, but surprise surprise, they are water turbines and water pumps lol, they will last way longer than a chermical battery anyways.

Thermosolar has the molten salt as a buffer between the sun and the electricity, you can use it to produce energy steadily, even in the night, wich solves the problem of having to build gravity damns and the associated risk of them.

I’m confident studying mech, because it isn’t going away anytime soon.

and yeah, I full agree that we need to reform the power grid and enact at least partial statization.

but still, nuclear is a good tech that can produce clean energy right where is needed, we shouldn’t discard it just because renewables are quite O.P.

because ppl act over irrational fear and lobby their politicians to close perfectly safe sites.

I could look up photos of people hurt at a wind farm or something, but we would both agree of the utter ridiculousness of it, numbers don’t lie as nuclear having a low death per kW ratio.

Solar still uses boiling water, thermosolar at least, that has a lot of benefits over the photovoltaic cell, as it can generate energy steadily and even trough the night, here in chile they built cerro dominador, quite impressive thing.

it depends on the geography of the place, in my country it would be reasonably a huge challenge to build farms over the sea because of the geography of here (it’s like a underwater cliff)

and still, I’m heavily pro renewables, but that doesn’t I won’t be pro nuclear also, both are crucial tech to de-carbonize the world.

fusion 100% is the future whenever it’s figured out.

But I’m not as scared as mining, my country has a lot of mining operations, mostly copper, but the modern tech they have is quite incredible, they use robots to mine, wich are safely controlled in an office building in the city.

it literally isn’t, why people are saying this? the fossil part comes from being, well fossilized organic material, hence hidrocarbon rich, nuclear isn’t tthat, it’s not renewable but is clean energy.

so a train will be less terrible than to be stored in seismically inactive rock?

it isn’t, transmission is a complex thing to do lol, my country had a full blackout last year because a cascading failure caused by a transmission line.

Nuclear fuel will last long enough for us to both have nuclear fission and the capacity to space mine materials.

solar doesn’t work in places that don’t have land available to be turned into solar farms, here in chile they do a lot of solar, and cool melted salt solar too, but is far north in the Atacama and they have to bring it in, wich is a huge bottle neck, A nuclear power plant in Santiago would relieve a lot the strain in the grid.
