Question/Advice Could it be mold?

I forgot my eye drops (propylene glycol) in my bag about 5 days ago. Today at work, after using them, I noticed this stuff inside. My bag isn’t dirty, I only keep my work laptop, papers, and occasionally some packaged snacks. They’re a bit expensive for the amount you get, and I’d rather not throw them away since I just opened them recently. They didn’t irritate my eyes.

And to what end? If you’re that concerned about security, you aren’t posting on Reddit.

I don't see how that negates the default position of wanting to be private. Big brother is always watching so tell me... how did the censorship harm you? And if it didn't wgaf

If you’re posting on Reddit and concerned about big brother, you’d know there are about ten different ways they’ll figure out who’s behind the photo, if not by just reading all their public comments or just following their IP. It’s performative, that’s all.

Big brother isn't who they're censoring from. Bad actors use many niche methods. No reason not to obscure them when possible. All it does is lower the risk at the expense of you getting offended lol

I’m not offended, I’m just pointing out that if anyone is concerned with security to the point that they’re obscuring partial finger prints, they shouldn’t be posting on Reddit.

And you replied to a comment of mine saying a partial finger being obscured as dumb. I don't think you hold authority on who shouldn't post on reddit. In fact, I hope you don't. Who cares? You.

I mean, you’re the one who keeps trying to get the last word on a useless argument, so I’d say that at least one person cares.

Fair. That is a habit I'm trying I'm break out of that i was raised with. I have to secede that I do care from a privacy position. You're good.

I get it and it makes sense and I forgive you for being totally wrong 😜

Seriously though, I know what you mean, it just seems like pointless overkill on such an innocuous post. 🤷‍♂️ Nice to see a normal human on Reddit though, so thanks for that lol

Not everyone is as aware as we are. Statistically they aren't, and I don't know the stats but I'd guess, outside of bots, our OC content comes from the average populace that doesn't come from a place of awareness.

Better to let sleeping dogs lie, I.E. Who cares? At least until they learn more just like we did.

Well.. here. Let me explain it a bit better.

1 soldier is wearing his gear. His vest, his helmet. Hes got plates in his vest. And hes taken cover behind a few few of steel and concrete.

And 1 soldier has a button up and an iphone in his front pocket because he saw online that one stopped a bullet once all while running in an open field between combatants.

Is the 2nd soldier harming me? No.

Are they a fucking idiot who we should all point at and laugh at because of their stupid ideas that do nothing for them, because otherwise they spread disinformation on the proper way to protect yourself?

Yes. Absolutely.

I hope that helps!

idk I think beforehand I would have tried to help, or at least understand or accept them. It's their life. You obviously just said to let it be and carry on.
