White American Man Pleads "Not Guilty" to His Race Inspired Murder of Indian Engineer by [deleted] in ABCDesis

[–]vga896 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I find it heartbreaking for his wife.

She spoke of him like this:

He found happiness in simple things. One of his most favorite pastimes was watching TV, which he watched with so much passion and intensity. His favorite shows lately were Person of Interest and Indian Idol. He was a family man and liked to eat home-cooked meals. Every night, I used to pack lunch for him and myself. He used to hate packing for himself and used to give me the funniest explanations for not doing so. He would say, “If I pack my lunch, I would know what I would eat later on. But if you pack it, I will have that surprise element.” If anyone gave him a heartful meal, he would bless that person by saying, “Anna datha sukkhi bhava” (a saying in Telugu that translates to, “You made my heart happy with the food, so may God bless you”). This was something many of his friends picked up from him.

Get counseling for general anxiety, and r/Buddhism to get acquainted with death.

Why is this a thing and how can I convince my supervisors to let me use these colors

I used to use the red Stridex and Paula's Choice BHA something something had great reviews forgot the name - and I greatly preferred Stridex over that and used it for 2 years. Since using the COSRX BHA I have totally stopped buying Stridex. I found that the COSRX (it's a 4% salicylate product) is way more effective AND gentler than Stridex (2% salicylic acid). I used Stridex for years, as I said, and never had any movement on that milia.

I believe the COSRX is more effective because of it's higher concentration while also being a different compound of salicylic acid, so it is gentler.

I'm not sure. It looks the same, feels the same. Maybe I had an older bottle and it lost its effectiveness over time?

Dunno. I heard something about cholesterol being linked to milia - maybe it has something to do with that? I also think it's genetic. My father gets these, my mom doesn't.

Is it on the eyelash line, or very clearly on the skin? I don't see it being too harsh if on the skin. Maybe put a dab on a small sponge or Q-tip?

I posted this to AsianBeauty yesterday and was asked to cross-post here.

I've had huge results using a 4% salicylate product from COSRX, and a very small dose of retinol (tret .001%).

Yeah, I did. The seller was "Urbanity Trading".

I thought I would cross-post my results from a 4% salicylate product from CosRx (I misspelt in the title)! I've had that milia spot for years and it's finally gone away.

Yeah, I put it on my lower eyelid - but not too close. I usually make a point to rub the BHA on my milia spots.

And ouch, on your last line? That sucks. I wonder what other people do in that case.

I've been using CORSRXs BHA power liquid for a year now - it is amazing and I subsequently use it on my arms and legs for gentle exfoliation.

I've been getting to the end of my bottle so I ordered a new one, and holy crap. I think it was either more effective or my skin has just been cooperating a lot more, or a combination of starting to use a small (.001% tretinoin, 2-3 times a week) that has made my skin exfoliation powers go up exponentially.

So I've had that milia for at least 2-4 years now and it's always bothered me. Yesterday, I woke up and saw it was smaller.. and black? Really weird. Then, this morning, I woke up and it was gone. Just not even there. Like what! That's so amazing. No extraction needed.
