“Antibacterial” soaps aren’t strictly banned in Europe, but many of the ingredients used in antibacterial soaps in the US are. Sorry these dense mfs giving you grief
- Comment on Crosspost if you agree! 10 hours ago:
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 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

Regardless of the marketing term “anti-bacterial” on the label, there are quite a few specific ingredients in this area that are banned in the EU but in wide use in the US.

Ok, 0 matches or striking out early

For real. Matches have much less to do with appearance or age than they do with bad profiles, poor chatting skills, or unpleasant personality traits

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. He went on a handful of dates and only a couple months in met his new girlfriend. They’ve been together a year now, they’re doing well and she’s great. Point is there are lots of success stories.

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.

- Comment on CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function 6 days ago:
TIL
- In the majority of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the mother through the egg.
- In a small percentage (less than 5%) of cases, the extra copy of chromosome 21 comes from the father through the sperm.
- In the remaining cases, the error occurs after fertilization, as the embryo grows.
- Comment on CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function 6 days ago:
This is not true on multiple levels. One of the benefits of the Crispr technique is it can be used in vivo, so this sort of treatment will potentially be able to be used at any point in an individual’s life. But also, trisomy-21 isn’t present in sperm or eggs, it’s a mistake in cell division early in fetal development, so applying this technique to an egg would have no purpose or effect.

All this research was done on human cells in vitro. The person you’re responding to was making shit up
- Comment on CRISPR used to remove extra chromosomes in Down syndrome and restore cell function 6 days ago:
This research was conducted on four human induced pluripotent stem cell lines:
In our previous work, we generated a trisomy 21 iPS cell line derived from skin fibroblasts and three induced disomy iPS cell lines with different combinations of HSA21 (ΔP, ΔM1, and ΔM2) using the chromosome elimination technique
Here’s the previous work
How did you even come to the conclusion mice were involved? Mice aren’t mentioned anywhere

- Comment on Tesla is trying to prevent the city of Austin, Texas, from releasing public records involving self-driving robotaxis 2 weeks ago:
Musk has staked Tesla’s future on self-driving vehicles he has promised for a decade but hasn’t delivered, making Austin’s robotaxi launch closely watched as a potential milestone. Some analysts and investors attribute the majority of Tesla’s stock market value to hopes for robotaxis and humanoid robots it has yet to deliver.
We’ve had Waymo and Zoox operating in town for years. Waymo started road testing here almost 10 years ago now. Tesla is so far behind on this it’s not even funny. I expect their cars to be subject to vandalism, also.
