You’re talking about makeup, right? ;)

Lots of downvotes, but nobody to unpack it. Let me try:

my skin’s very healthy, and I never even wash off my makeup. I get like 1 zit per month but that’s cuz I’m still young.

It’s because you are young that it doesn’t have much impact now.

Then I used to have friends that kept complaining that they had zits DESPITE their excessive use of “skincare” products. which is, duh its not DESPITE , its because.

The experiences of your friends is different because genetics are different. You might be blessed with good skin genes, or they might be cursed by bad skin genes

I never got the deal, as long as your skin doesn’t rot or you know, hurt, what’s the issue?

I mean, there’s a whole spectrum between rotting and healthy that you generally don’t want to experience for any prolonged amount of time. Leaving makeup on your face will clog up your pores, and (prolonged) exposure might harm the collagen and elastin in your face, so your face ages faster.

Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess!

Moisturiser doesn’t cause pimples / zits unless it’s too thick and/or you applied too much, essentially clogging your pores and depriving them of oxygen.

So if that doesn’t apply, it’s just a coincidence and you’re attributing it to something that didn’t cause it

What’s “it” in this context?

It’s $5 more expensive, and then shipping.

But the real price of the amazon one is either 34.99 plus shipping or 38.37 without shipping

I love the thought of people thinking of me obsessively and wanting to be just like me.

Depends what for. If you’re consuming and spending money you don’t have to look successful to your peers, I’d say no.

If you mean jealous because of how good of a person you are, maybe.

Either way, I would hate people thinking of me obsessively. I’d rather just be left alone and let me do my thing.

Get your son to do it for you!

And we should keep it that way. As soon as you can derive value from your profile karma and/or it means something, it’ll break any sense of earnest discussion some are trying to have in the first place.

Look at Reddit: any serious thread is peppered with might-be-funny one-liners in the hopes of catching some upvotes. This makes those threads harder to read through, although it does make for funny AI summary results.

It’s not just off topic banter to increase karma though. It’s also reposting old memes, jokes and stories that did well in the past to farm that sweet karma. Throw in some copied top-level comments too and some subreddits are basically perpetually living in déjà vu.

Let’s not try to aim for that.

Do you have a link or something to further dig into this?

I think we all knew this was coming though, considering Reddit is still popular to find specific answers that SEO riddled adware websites won’t be able to give.

Unironically, I dislike the 196 stuff. It’s kinda like shitposting, but at least with shitposting you have standards. Just posting anything for the sake of posting something makes me tune out such communities due to the noise.

Considering there’s at least 4 different 196 communities, I understand I am very much in the minority and this is an unpopular opinion.

Once again, French people showing balls and putting their money where their mouth is.

Many more organisations and private users should do this, but everyone’s scared of losing engagement numbers, ad revenue or virtual internet points.

Exactly, but I found out that if you read the Chinese version (google translated link) then the content is very different.

This not only answers my original question, but also highlights the irony that we trust English Wikipedia pages over social media comments, but not Chinese Wikipedia pages over social media comments.

I was hoping someone with more knowledge about Wikipedia and how language-specific pages are vetted can help figure this one out.

Doesn’t the wiki say the same thing, that it’s considered a myth? English page instead of chinese: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Credit_System

Remember what happened before the 2012 report?

The 2010 suicides prompted 20 Chinese universities to compile an 83-page report on Foxconn, which they described as a “labor camp”. Interviews of 1,800 Foxconn workers at 12 factories found evidence of illegal overtime and failure to report accidents. The report also criticized Foxconn’s management style, which it called inhumane and abusive. Additionally, long working hours, discrimination towards Mainland Chinese workers by their Taiwanese coworkers, and a lack of working relationships were all presented as potential problems in the university report.

They installed nets as one way to address the problem.

But I still won’t judge a whole company based on the personal opinions of one of its employees.

It’s not a personal opinion:

Notice how it says “here is our official response”
