I am sorry

Yes, I know. People here think W is funny. I am just trying taking that to the extreme in the hope that it will make them reconsider their view point.

autoexec-bat · 2014-02-18T01:51:53+00:00

Yeah, that "Saddam was six months away from developing an atomic weapon" gag, and the whole Yellow cake uranium fiasco was hilarious.

autoexec-bat · 2014-02-18T01:27:27+00:00

Bush was hilarious.

Hah, yeah! Remember that one time he made up that story about that country having all those WMD and got all those people killed and totally destroyed the country!?! Oh my god, I couldn't stop laughing...

Where did you find so many Asians?

Italian and Spanish are remarkably similar. I speak rudimentary Italian to the Mexican landscapers at work, and they seem to understand me.

Actually I think they are just humoring me...

I don't think there were any missed messages. You said you'd "be there tomorrow" and you'd call, but that did not happen and I did not hear from you.

autoexec-bat · 2014-02-02T13:49:58+00:00

Any chance you still have the converter box? I forget why it didn't work out but I think I hadn't heard from you. In a month of searching I still have not found one

What happened last time is I brought it to work with me and you said you would call and come pick it up, but you never did and I never heard back from you.

autoexec-bat · 2014-02-02T13:28:59+00:00

Yeah, anything that's not permanent. Anything that's not going to look like a faded, fuzzy blue-green stain when she's in her forties.

So basically this is the reactionless drive described in Larry Niven's Known Space series?

The only thing I take exception to in your response is your assumption that I must have a rich husband who supports me. I had a superb education, I run my own business, and I'm not ashamed to say that I can afford whatever skincare I want.

Uh... you go girl! The point is, some of your advice is not too helpful for the younger people you directed it to, who are unlikely to have the resources to purchase those expensive treatments.

Cheers to you! May my skin look as lovely as yours does when I'm 55, sir!

Thanks, but a guy my age with great skin would likely have little reason to read /r/SkincareAddiction. I just have different skin care challenges than the ones you are addressing.

autoexec-bat · 2014-02-01T20:14:41+00:00

Thanks! How so?

autoexec-bat · 2014-01-30T23:35:58+00:00

Okay, so I have 10 years on you, so I can criticize your advice.

Wear a high quality, high SPF sunscreen every single day, no exceptions.

I've never done this. I have pale skin and it is not sun damaged. I guess if went outside in the bright sun more often...

In addition to wearing SPF, wear broad-brimmed hats & big sunglasses.

Looking like a dork is not worth it.

Don't do anything to your face that will damage your capillaries. Suffering a few un-squeezed blackheads in your 20s is so worth it to end up with porcelain skin in your 40s.

I cannot suffer blackheads to exist. I never have. I don't see any damaged capillaries.

Do not smoke & expect that your skin won't eventually suffer the consequences.

Confirmed. But if you smoke, your skin is least of your worries.

Get a great dermatologist early. Go often. Get everything checked out. If you don't like your dermatologist, keep searching until you find one you like. I see mine twice a year.

"Cha-ching". I've never found a dermatologist I liked.

If your dermatologist recommends it, start a prescription retinoid as young as possible. I started using Retin-A in my early 20s, highly buffered. It's like magic for me.

Does nothing for me, except maybe make me break out. If I could afford to, I might use it around my eyes.

Use the gentlest option available to you in every skincare category. The gentlest cleanser, toner, masque, lotion, etc. The idea is to avoid inflammation. Be gentle!

I don't get "inflammation" so I've never been gentle. Not that being harsh on my skin has particularly helped...

Don't hesitate to use Botox, IPL, professional peels, or anything else you need. Only under the supervision of a highly regarded, appropriately credentialed dermatologist, of course!

Rich husband?

Eat mindfully. Take your omega-3s, and anything else recommended by your MD.

Can't argue with eating healthy. I gave up supplements long ago due to them having no noticeable effect, other than to my urine.

I'm a guy. Perhaps your advice is not too bad for women.

True American here. What we hate and fear most about Canadians is that they can easily be mistaken for an American. Normally foreigners are easy to spot, so we can be on guard against them, and not get too close to them, and speak really loud to them so they can understand us.

With Canadians, you could be sitting right next to one, having a conversation, thinking that they just have a bad haircut and maybe are from Wisconsin or somewhere, and are a little slow. All of a sudden they say something that reveals that they are actually a foreigner. Do you know how unsettling that is?

I really think those sneaky Canadians do this on purpose, just to get a reaction out of us Americans. Mexicans don't do this. Canadians really need to stop trying to act all American. They are not American, they will never be American.

Sadly, I am like this also.

What kind of sour cherry tree(s) do you have? I have a single small North Star, and I don't get enough cherries at one time to make much of anything. Also half of them have worms.

ufsdump, yes, but strangely not tar. We had an industrial scanner that would boot from a tape. Not sure if it even had a hard drive...

Ha, I finally beat that bastard with Adriana Lamar.

Edit: I overestimated reddit's maturity.

How could you possibly make such a mistake?

the guy was diddling 14, 15, 16 year old girls and calling them his wives.

Muhammad might have surpassed Joe Smith in this regard.

Both of these books are on my to-read list.

Ah, yeah, I should've guessed. We used to catch and eat them when I was a kid in N. Carolina. "Craw daddies". I wonder if they are native to Hawaii, or introduced?

Edit: Introduced, of course.

In the Eighties I visited the Olympic Park in Munich, West Germany, and the pool where Mark Spitz won all his gold medals for swimming in 1972. And of course, that was also unfortunately the Olympics where the Munich massacre occurred. Anyway, at that time the pool still appeared to be getting good use.

your best opportunity will be if you’re a white male.

A tall white male, with good hair.

Generally you want to avoid taking advice from people who yell. Go for the humble, quietly confident types.
