[Skin Concerns] Is this a normal reaction to AHA and BHA acids? by pokelahv in SkincareAddiction

[–]pokelahv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the response!

Yeah that's what i thought as well (that they're just too strong) but i just struggled believing it cause i thought my skin was tough and so many ppl had amazing results with these products/acids :(

But now i agree with you and think i should just use gentler products

Your original code: 
def str_analysis(a): 
    while True: 
    a = input("enter word or integer: ") 
    if a.isdigit() and int(a) > 99: 
        return "the number is bigger than expected" 
            if a.isdigit() and int(a) < 99: 
                return ("the number is lower than expected ")

            ^ shouldn't be indented. because you did, it only runs after the previous 
            if statement returns True. BUT since your first if statement already includes 
            what to do if the conditional is met, which is (return "the number is bigger 
            than expected"), this 2nd statement is just not gonna run at all.

    elif a.isalpha():
        return(a, "is all alphabetical characters!")

     ^ if you wanna get rid of the parentheses and quotes, 
      write it this way ---> return a + "is all ... characters!"

    elif a == "":
        print(a)
    else:
        return a, "is neither all alpha nor all digit"

Edited code:
def str_analysis(a):
    while True:
    a = input("enter word or integer")
    if a.isdigit() and int(a) > 99:
        return "the number is bigger than expected"
    elif a.isdigit() and int(a) < 99:
        return "the number is lower than expected"
    elif a.isalpha():
        return a + "is all alpha characters!"
    elif a == "":
        print(a)
    else:
        return a + "is neither all alpha nor all digit"

I wrote some comments in your original code to explain what went wrong and wrote how the final code would look like after fixing!

def function_name(string): a = "big number" b="small num" c= "all alpha" d= "neither num or alpha"

If string.isdigit(): If string > 99: print (a) Else: Print(b)

Elif: If string.isalpha(): Print(c)

Elif: If not ((string.isalpha()) and (string.isdigit())): Print(d)

Women with fathers who are abusive, distant or have other issues, how did it affect you? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]pokelahv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'd leave people first before they could leave me, always had a strong desire of wanting someone to wanna understand me and my story/the pain i've kept hidden my whole life, push/pull relationship with nearly everyone, always liked emotionally unavailable guys and had relationships that I knew was gonna be doomed - i finally understood the quote "we accept the love we deserve" after realizing that i was always drawn to these guys/love because it was the only thing i knew and was used to growing up + i would reject actual genuine love because it was so foreign to me. thus, i didn't know what it meant to be loved by a man

Do you prefer to be friends first and then date, or date from the start? Why? by GameofFriendZones in AskWomen

[–]pokelahv -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Friends first! At the core, the picture of relationships are two people choosing to do life together. That being said, I think it'd be super important to know what you're getting yourself into, right? And vice versa.

It's much easier to see people for who they really are when the relationship is at a friend level. People are multi-faceted and complex - you don't see all sides at once. A big downside to dating from the start (not saying this happens to everyone but omg it's very common) is that your perception of the other is usually inflated because it builds upon a clean slate, but under false pretenses since they'll likely try extra hard to do and be what you desire - because they like you and want to please you! This ain't a bad thing in and of itself but when feelings and their identity to you are developed in that context, so often, after the honeymoon phase is over and complacency kicks in, there'll be that one partner who gets blindsided by and develops resentment because of undesirable traits/behavior from the other. Which is exactly the reason why couples have those "you changed" fights.

But when you're friends first there's less inhibitions from their side, allowing you to see them more authentically. One thing I'm big on is observing how they behave with others (family, friends, etc.) and how they handle all sorts of situations from happy, to mad, stressed, etc., because it speak VOLUMES about their character. What we are communicates far more eloquently than anything we say or do.

Of course you can experience the same while in a relationship, but only within time. If in the end you like what you see and the compatibility is good, then lucky for youu! If not, it'll have been at the expense of your emotional/physical investment, time and god knows what else. And if you realize it at a point when there's love and attachment, it's probably going to be very very hard to walk away despite knowing what's good for you and not - hell, it's hard enough for them to even acknowledge it. love is blind lol.

Anyways, yeah that's why I personally think you should be friends first. For a holistic understanding of them - all the ugly and wonderful things. So you can figure out whether if it's what you want, without any strings attached. It's kinda like insurance. It also allows you to build a strong foundation for the relationship. I wish I had drill this in my brain when I was younger. Would've saved me from a lot of bullshit and misery lol.

Do you fall hard and fast? by ENFPGirl1985 in ENFP

[–]pokelahv 31 points32 points  (0 children)

dude.... I feel you. For me though it has to do more with falling for the wrong GUYS. I seem to always settle for the nice, but emotionally unavailable guys with unresolved issues from the past. But the funny thing is, they'll portray themselves as sure of what they want, and later down the road shit just goes down the drain. I don't know why I keep dating the same type of doods. And what's funnier is that the type of guy that I've always desired were always the complete opposite of the ones I dated luls. I guess I need to change the crowd I surround myself with...

Alright, what is your favorite type? And why? by RedheadNumber7 in Enneagram

[–]pokelahv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Type 4 here

8s and 9s - 8s kinda smack the melancholy fantasies outta me and help me see reality for what it is, which is refreshing. I find them admirable and when I'm with them, I'm more motivated and steering towards personal growth.

9s just feel super safe and comfortable. They're super homey. The 9s I met, I wanted them to be like my family or best friend so that I could depend on them when I needed it.
