Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

i was recently prescribed a life changing medication that has given me the opportunity to have my lifespan return to normal as it is currently reduced, and i am noticing true positive improvement for the first time living with this illness, and i feel like i can start regaining my identity, and my physical and mental wellbeing, and now the president of my country is going to make this already expensive drug even more costly? what am i supposed to do, just stop taking it? what is anyone with a worse condition than me supposed to do for their illness? what about people with severe mental disorders that might be invisible to the public but struggle deeply all the same? this will lead to unnecessary deaths. every time the medical supply is messed with, people die. this needs to be met with more than outrage. Trump is signing a death warrant on ill Americans. who are you willing to sacrifice so you don't have to get involved? because, again, people are going to die.

He's a Nazi. It's actually an efficient way to get rid of all ill people that are not rich. Don't need no concentration camps yet.

This right here is exactly what he's up to.

And for those who aren’t rich but have jobs with decent employer-provided healthcare, it will make those people fearful of undertaking any protest actions that may see them on the wrong side of a doxxing campaign or an illegal detention.

It’s about threading fear through the fabric of society.

I take a topical for atopic dermatitis that is better tolerated than a topical corticosteroid. And it's primarily made in India as a generic. Also because topical corticosteroids long term effects are rebound disease and skin atrophy.

As someone who was considering taking a week off work as I would have needed to attend Donald Duck style to avoid fabric-on-leg contact, tell me more about this well tolerated topical

if you havedermatitis, exzema, you can try tacrolimus, or another inhibitor like elidel(pimecrolimus). you will have to avoid sunlight for a couple hours though(it does cause itching but that goes away after continious uses)if exposed to sunlight it amplifies the ithcing, warm feeling. some people dont like the itching or the sensations, it goes way after a while.

unlike the steroid it wont cause thinning or rebound effect(aka steroid withdrawal), safe for use of the eyes. you have to ask the derm for it though.
