If so, then, in those contexts, does it even make sense to view so many people being unable to read or write negatively? I mean what's the point of learning to read or write in a context where, for most people, it's not needed or beneficial?

I never experience that with any other wound. Shaving wounds, animal bites, scraped knee, knife or scissors cut when cutting food or paper, paper cut, scraped foot, hand injured from wood plank or tree, wound from dry skin, etc. They never get infected, or if they do, I could do nothing, and my body would easily address the minor infection on its own.

It's always specifically mosquito bites, wasp and bee stings, and fire ant bites that are so susceptible to infection, specifically cellulitis, for me. I barely scratch it once, sometimes maybe not at all, and it gets infected. I can have like 8 mosquito bites at the same time, and I'll run into the problem with like 4 of them after touching them once or not at all.

I would think we'd be biologically built for that.

I heard the claim from "skeptics". I don't trust them, but at the same time, I don't know if they're actually correct in this case.

What about when it comes to hair scissors, general use scissors, nail scissors, or nose hair scissors, hair clippers, knives, hair clippers, and straight razors, if they should be stropped?

Sustainability, accuracy, comfort, and speed are important. I say sustainability, because I don't want to feel like I'm exerting myself like crazy. Just regular exertion.

I feel like I'm losing my mind seeing the culture war surrounding food and even wellness.

There are people defending artificial food dyes. Those were criticized in the 2010s, 2000s, and even the 90s. People would make jokes like "Now, there's a food or color you find in nature." about roarin' blue razzberry poppin' space bites or whatever or Shrek green ketchup. People would get stomach aches and puke when they ingested those dyes. I know natural doesn't mean healthy, but people used the word the way they'd use words like "chemicaly" when saying something tasted or smelled chemicaly. It's not a scientific judgement and isn't perfectly precise wording, but everyone knew what they meant.

There are also people that seem to act like the US food system isn't that bad or isn't a big contributor to poor health in the US. There are big gulps and fake cheese nachos at gas stations, super greasy pizzas from places like Dominos, fruity pebbles cereal, gas station sushi that might give you an infection, poor sanitation at restaurants, etc. Tons of highly processed and ultra processed food and a junk food problem that's much worse than in many other countries. It feels silly to ignore that.

Better walkability, publically funded universal healthcare, and society in general being much less stressful can of course immensely help, but I'm so baffled whenever I see so many people behave this way online. Makes me start questioning myself like a person would do if they were in a grocery store surrounded by everyone dressed like Spider-man and treating it like it's a normal everyday thing.

I'm not against professional help when reasonable. Some of these are for emergencies, some are of course not for emergencies. I've somewhat organized the list, because Reddit was weird with the formatting.

It was something like that. I forget the term he used if he used a term. It was in reference to overcoming some sort of internal resistance or maybe had to do with motivation or fear.

I ask, because I'm not sure when to use which when it comes to wounds, bug bites, stings, or infections. Obviously, there's a time for each, but I'm not sure when or in what order.

And is it true that the still existing accent that most closely resembles the old British accent is a southern American accent?

Isn't it good to question things and to suspend judgement or to, at times, have doubt?

Or platonic attraction with associative learning and positive emotions?

Also, is developing attraction in the former way morally wrong? Something about it rubs me the wrong way and feels potentially gross, but I'm having trouble piecing together why.

I'm having trouble finding the answer.

Stuff like electrotherapy, sympathetic resonance between people and plants, electroculture, earth-bathing, colorpuncture, binaural beats, radionics, red light therapy, earthing, negative ion generators, plants and sound, electropollution, electroreception or magnetoreception in humans, radiesthesia, etc.

If so, where specifically?

I'm having trouble remembering. It wasn't algospeak.

I've heard toxicity and side effects mentioned, and itchiness seems to be a problem for some people.

Sun Tzu's The Art of War, not Niccolò Machiavelli's The Art of War. There are so many different translations. I get nervous about translation issues when it comes to pre-modern sources, especially a Chinese source. Words like "nature", "sage", "wisdom", and "intellect" are understood differently in the modern world.
