What's Bothering You? (The thread about what is bothering you.)

[tp4tissue]

I bought scented hand lotion instead unscented ... Argh. The scent is strong enough that I could get a migraine from using it.
Why do scented lotions and schampoos exist in the first place?

Why would anyone want to splash multiple several different scents onto themselves anyway? Many people use shampoo, conditioner, hand cream, face lotion, body lotion, hair spray, deodorant ... and perfume or eau de cologne — each one with a different scent. That's crazy.

The World Health Organization lists meats under Class 1 and Class 2 Carcinogen.

The biggest culprits are sodium nitrite and smoking/grilling/burning.
The formation of carcinogens when grilling meat could be countered by first marinating in liquids high in antioxidants.

That diagram is weird. Not just that two dots are unlabelled but why are Iceland and Germany so far down and right from Norway, Sweden and Denmark? Are our foods so different?

...

That is not relevant to the question. Stop ****-posting.

On the contrary, the thread is in Off Topic, the discussion is as general and meandering as can be, and the use of body smells as deliberately applied scents is very much in context of the post describing "anyone ... splash(ing) multiple several different scents onto themselves".

I was actually looking for information on what the French call "cassolette", which is the amalgamation of all sorts of smells on a person (usually female). This was the second link in the search.

The big industry would like you to believe that moderation and small changes in cooking method will absolve the harm, but that is Simply half the story.

We also know that animal protein raises IGF1 lvls in the body.

The primary exposure of the body to Dioxins/Pesticides/Industrial Pollutants/antibiotics is through consuming animal products.

The people IN CHARGE are all aware..  They're all in on it..

Our leaders are typically either themselves or through their children also captains of capitalism.

They're knowingly letting people die of preventable diseases as it lines pockets like nothing else.


It's not like a cellphone, you could do without one..  But if you get cancer or heart disease, that's an unbreakable financial chain to big-pharma.


It's unfortunate that it's come to this..


At least we're alive at the time of realization..  Most of our parents are going to die of preventable diabetes/ heartdisease/ cancer/ stroke/ dementia

Not over here. The phone companies are closing down the landline network, an area at a time, and increasing the fees for the rest to force them to switch.

And there is nothing you can do against the cell phone towers.
The responsibility to control that they do not get too powerful or too close is left to the individual cities who have neither resources, knowledge or political will to do anything. The locations and other stats on the towers are known to our counterpart to the FCC but are not public records.

Some payments, such as parking, are even limited to a smartphone app, on iPhone or Android. Some stores may take credit card and phone payments but not cash. Payments by phone is taking over on the second-hand market, both online and at flea markets.

Oh no. Sweden is complacency and naïveté. Believe that the system cares for you and knows what is best. Be a sucker. Don't complain, don't get upset or spirited unless the cause is 100% PC and trendy right now. Anyone who complains or falls out of the norm becomes a loser.
The system has also encouraged a sense of entitlement. Combine that with an increasing trend in egoism. People don't display manners to strangers any more. It is like the worst non-moderated forums on the Internet, like Youtube's comment section, but in real life.

I am not a Christian anymore, but I made the joke a while back that smart phones are the mark of the beast because you'll eventually be obligated to have one to pay for stuff and function in the world. It correlates to the mark on the hands and head since it is something one hold's in his hands and works with and is always on one's thoughts/mind since it is used for every form of communication.

It's been eight or nine years now, so I don't remember all the specifics of my thought process at the time. I took a business law class in which the professor made us think critically. In order to get us to think critically about law, he spent the first couple weeks challenging our beliefs so that we could be objective.

Basically, I allowed myself to think about the stuff that I already knew didn't make sense. For example, in 9th grade, I asked my Bible teacher where Cain's wife came from since there were literally only three people on earth at that point according to Genesis, and, if there had been another woman, she would have been his sister. He said something to the effect of, "We don't know. You just have to have faith." Once I allowed myself to think about it objectively, I realized that inconsistencies like this mean it's either not true or omitting details, i.e. not the 100% literal, true word of God. "Have faith" just means, "Don't think about it."

Every explanation for every question involved some sort of convoluted mental gymnastics (like explaining the age of the earth and why God didn't just destroy Satan immediately to prevent all evil) when there are simpler and more plausible secular explanations with evidence.

[emenelopee]

My tipping point was a Religious Education class where a teacher explained a logical argument for the existence of God (at least the Christian creator kind). It goes a little something like this:

- consider a perfect being;
- god is that perfect being;
- perfection must exist to be perfect as to not exist is not perfection;
- therefore god exists.

He did much better when it was all woolly and ephemeral - as soon as you try put a microscope to these concepts and be clever with deconstruction you quickly show there's nothing behind the facade, like your Cain's wife example.

I asked my Christian studies teacher if my dog would go to heaven. He said no. I instantly dismissed religion as no monster would create a "heaven" and exclude dogs. Also I'd rather go to an eternity of darkness than spend an infinite amount of time in a place with no dogs.   

[Blaise170]

I don't really know where I stand with religion anymore, I still consider myself Christian but there's a lot that doesn't make sense. I don't read anything literally in the Bible since there's so many inconsistencies (one can argue that there are literally two different creation stories). Science refutes much of what is explained as well (e.g. evolution).

[suicidal_orange]

I wonder how today's science would sound written down by a layman then translated between languages hundreds of years later - can't imagine it would be totally accurate )

On the other side evolution works great once there are semi-useful creatures but I struggle with the idea that the best version of electrified slime managed to survive to start the process, let alone that there was just a load of stuff floating in space to get crushed together to cause the big bang.  But if someone (god) made the stuff floating in space who made god...

[Blaise170]

My current thoughts on the topic are that chemical evolution (the idea that certain amino acids were present which eventually became RNA and formed the early structures necessary for life) may be a process started by a higher power. Now whether that's the Christian God, aliens, or something else is impossible to know. Either way you look at it, this refutes the Creation story which poses other problems.

Three trees actually. Slammed into my bedroom wall while tornado sirens blared last night. Apparently other parts of the complex got hit worse, to the point of portions of people's roofs being ripped off. Office told me that they doubt anyone in the entire complex slept at all last night.

The way I think of it is that, before the big bang (or whatever caused the current state of the universe), there was infinite time, so, even if there was only a 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000 chance of the universe's coming into being and life's beginning, it would actually be a 1 in 1 chance because, with infinite time, every possibility would eventually happen. I'm not sure if that would actually hold up if someone smart dissected it, but that's been my theory for a while, and it refutes the religious argument that life without purposeful creation is extremely unlikely based on the odds.
