So true.

Not that I listen to Nickleback, but the hate is so overblown. There is such worse music.

Evil eye talisman!

omg this is the worst these evil eye things are sprayed all over this city I moved too, I interpret it now as a perspective of horus eye, but I was never faced with the conformity of the superstition of "the evil eye or blue eye" as I thought it would mean awareness, idk the symbology here is weird at times.

 
Eating in groups instead of alone, and forcing one to do that I find conformist

• Using toothpaste
• Using deodorant with fragrances
• Using hair gel

Btw, funny story: when I was 10 I realized that toothpaste was able to hold my hair in place better than most hair gels, so I started using it. I said this once in the classroom and a guy also having quiff hair made fun of me. Next day I spot him with a long solidified white mark on his quiff — it was toothpaste.

More generally: the sterilization paradigm of the 20th century. The more-functional, less-conformist approach would be microbial ecology rather than microbial warfare.

💯; also full of PFAS depending on how it's packaged.

Using toothpaste

I’m curious what alternative you know you think are better if you do? Seems risky because it’s hard so notice damage on one’s teeth before it has gotten too far where it’s visible, so if you use alternative method how do you know for sure your teeth are getting taken cared of enough?

I just use nothing. Brush the teeth as you normally would, without toothpaste. Ideally brush it 3x/day; also floss; and optional tongue scraper.

I did some research and I realized there is not enough science to back the use of toothpaste. If you look deep, you'll see that the only thing that could justify toothpaste would be (i) fluoride and (ii) abrasive stuff — silica or calcium carbonate. 

(i) For people who develop caries, fluoride can help. I never had a carie in my life, meaning that my mouth is populated by bacteria unlikely to cause it. So probably I will never have one, despite not using fluoride. This is individual of course. Notice you don't need toothpaste to deliver fluoride into your mouth either.

(ii) The evidence for abrasives in toothpaste is extremely weak. Some research showed no difference. And, notice there are risks with the abrasives, e.g., possibly wearing out dentin and enamel.

Lastly, I go to the dentist every 6 months and they have reported nothing different in their assessment. Of course I don't tell them I'm not using toothpaste anymore, otherwise they'd be biased to find something.

Shampoo and toothpaste is fine.

But shampooing twice is confirmist. Once is enough.

It depends on hair level. For bald folks even once is conformist 😛
