White people conquered the whole world looking for spices and then decided they didn't want to use any of them
Im of Scottish, Irish, and South German descent my ancestors didnt conquer shit beyond the whole bursting into flames under direct sunlight problem.
They conquered that?
How?
.... you know, out of scientific curiosity.
Mineral zinc
As a Fitzpatrick skin type 1 living in Australia, zinc is my best friend.
I'm pale enough that you can't even tell I've got white paste on my face, and I'm physically blocking the sun.
I have a 50 SPF moisturiser that I use daily before I leave the house, even in winter, and I reapply it several times a day in summer, but I still get sun burnt if I don't also wear zinc.
Now that I'm older I've gotten a lot better at often wearing a wide brim hat and long sleeves in the summer, but it's not always possible.
Zinc is also reef safe for beach wear, and doesn't contain avobenzone so it will provide longer protection from UVA rays, and no risk of irritation if applied prior to swimming in a chlorinated pool. (avobenzone and chlorine are not friends)
I'll be sure to pass this on to all my vampi.... I mean, wow, that is a very fascinating thing to read, I'll surely take what you said into consideration the next time I'm shopping for sunscreen.
Yet another vampire familiar wasting the day on Lemmy.
Well the scottish side have been here in southern California for about 150 years, the Irish for about 110 years, and the German for about 100 years. Also I can be under high UV and only start burning after about 2 hours.
We conquered that weakness, now if only we could get rid of the madness, actually nevermind on that one being able to go into a berserk fury by will alone is fucking useful. Good for cussing out shitty bosses and feeling high as a kite while at it, just gotta keep from trying to kill them.
Nova Scotia was going well until king Charles gave it to the French.
Darien was going well until... the everything... Ok, Darien was never going well at all.
I suppose there's modern capitalism, public investing, and one of the most iconic holidays ever. Cultural victory?
You forget the legend of Gregor MacGregor and his conquering and settling of Cazique. And his freedom fought for the Republic of Florida.
Unnecessary racist comment but it's OK since its against the one group that its OK to be racist towards. This wouldn't fly if it was about black people and a similar gotcha line
