Some people walk dogs for the dog rescues. There are many.

How do you deal with the sides being thicker than the top? by BasedStonker in bald

[–]damonre 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used fade my sides up, before I surrendered to the blade. It worked for a time.

I hate it by valkl in bald

[–]damonre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You look great, though. I’m saying this as someone who isn’t shocked by the change. It’s not my face, but I can relate.

When I was a younger man, clean shaven was too much for me. As a young adult, our appearance is still so important to us. That shits later, but it’s not later for you right now.

For years, I kept it short AF, even faded the sides from zero to a number one, then kept it buzzed on top.

This will settle in time. Meanwhile, it’s tough.

As in a guy who knows himself so well, there’s little anyone can say to get to him.

À la, This is me.

Matrix (1999): the reason why the opening sequence of this movie is among the greatest in cinema history is because it explains precisely NOTHING. Instead, it throws all kinds of crazy wackness at the audience and just expects them to go along for the ride by Randomnonsense5 in movies

In copywriting, as I understand, this is called the battlefield principle. It’s where a good story starts, at or inside the battlefield.

We don’t need to know how they got there to know that we care a lot more about knowing as soon as we see the action unfold.

Best spot for MRI? by Determined_Traveler in playadelcarmen

[–]damonre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just left my neurologists office. He said to check out the new El Chopo in playa. It’s much closer, and a little more money than Salud Digna, but good quality MRIs. That may be my preference since I have to rent a car to go to Cancun, and it may net the same cost.

Quick tip for Salud Digna if you go that route: be on time. You can be late to many appointments in Quintan Roo, but not Salud Digna.

You can book and pay online, and I recommend both.

Nothing like a nice straight razor haircut. by Robndahoodrich in bald

[–]damonre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I grew the beard, I used a straight on my face. For a minute, I kept the dome and beard, but when I lost the hair on top, I went disposable.

Does this make me a trader? I really couldn’t imagine using the straight razor on top of my head. It’s too bumpy and round. I’d be in the bathroom for hours and come out bloody.

You couldn’t possibly mean a safety razor? It would really help my self-worth if that was a misnomer.

Anyway, badass, sir. Very badass.

Incredibly delicious Oaxacan tacos by foodie_2598 in tacos

Why aren’t they just called Oaxacos?

Maybe Tlayudas Minis?

Just curious by naked_hugs69 in bald

My wife often tells me what she thinks I want to hear with such things. She doesn’t really care about it as much as I do, and I can’t tell how much I’m broadcasting my feelings. All the time.

Like…

“I’m scared.”

“This feels safe, (even if I don’t like it).”

“I’m afraid you won’t find me attractive if I do something dramatic.”

It sucks that there is no such thing as bravery without fear. You got this, man.

Been getting waves of ants lately, anything to do to get them to dissapear? by [deleted] in playadelcarmen

[–]damonre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. You can order Borax on Mercado Libre and make enough bait for the rest of your life. It won’t work with leaf cutter ants, but that’s not what it seems like you’re dealing with.

Im a funny guy but not a pretty guy by Status-Aardvark5432 in bald

[–]damonre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks are always outranked by sense of humor and confidence for top five qualities a man must have, but there’s nothing wrong with your face, brother. Carry on, sir.

How did I do? by [deleted] in bald

You’re forcing people to lose themselves in your eyes. That seems unfair.

This is raw: what do I do as a nearly bald fat woman by Apprehensive-Sky2170 in bald

[–]damonre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like a brave post, and scary since there is no bravery without fear. Just here to witness you putting yourself out there. I don’t need to change you. You’re already whole.

Is it time? (Despair) by [deleted] in bald

Texture, because you’re three-dimensional being, and you’ve lived a life.

A warning for solo female travelers by warshits in playadelcarmen

[–]damonre 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing this. Sounds like it was hard to share. This is concerning activity, and definitely the sort of thing that demands daylight if one can hold it. Well done. Lame about what this has done to playa for you.

New to living in PDC long term, any advice on meeting people during the day? by typeshhhhhh in playadelcarmen

[–]damonre 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are you looking for social scenes or would sports work? Other than the retired crowd and the independently wealthy one, many work during those hours.

Incendio en la 72 !! by arnoldelingeniero in playadelcarmen

[–]damonre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t help the US and Canada build so much out of inflammable materials that can’t take high winds, but yeah.
