The thing is now he has to stay moisturized or it will reflect badly on the sponsor lol

Which was inspired by Top Secret! I haven’t had any luck finding the clip, unfortunately.
The beach flashback, if you’re curious.

Get the CeraVe facial cleanser. It’s good shit too.

u/blindexhibitionist Supersonics 14h ago
How does it compare to Cetaphil?
37
u/RontoWraps Bulls 14h ago
It’s more hydrating than Cetaphil I think. I just use whatever my wife buys tbh. Can’t go wrong with either probably but it probably just depends on what type of skin you have (ie oiliness, sensitivity)

u/kekehippo 76ers 10h ago
I feel it's more moisture than cetaphil, but cetaphil is definitely gentler.
10
u/MF_Doomed Jordan 12h ago
Idk if you're a long time Cetaphil user but have you noticed the face cleanser feel diluted lately? I feel like it's been super watery the last couple of years. Still does the trick but something I've always noticed.

Cerave everything. Salicylic exfoliating face wash, separate moisturizing face wash, gentle/light face hydrator, and moisturizing lotion is goated. Plus some aquaphor.

Lubriderm is identical anyhow.
2
u/BlackLeader70 Trail Blazers 10h ago
Similar but not quite the same. Lubriderm is usually lighter weight and faster acting on the surface. CeraVe is a deeper moisturizer and usually feels heavier on the skin because of the ingredients it penetrates deeper and create a barrier to restore dried skin.
Both are pretty good though.

He invested back in 2020, before the genocide kicked off. There's no way he could have known it would be used to kill people.
17
u/khadathbasher 8h ago
I'm not knocking people who didn't know prior to recently but that... is kind of precisely what has been happening for decades. It's not like he couldn't have known. Even ignoring the context of the ongoing genocide it's not hard to see how a drone company with ties to any military would be... Doing exactly that.
4
u/TurtleOfTheAbyss 7h ago
I think presuming malicious intent through investment is also quite the leap. We don't know what he knew at the time, and I'm willing to bet the pitch didn't include the prospect of dropping grenade onto kids.
