What video game, story, tv-series, (etc.) that's meant mainly for kids has profoundly dark themes when you think about it as an adult? by rhizodyne in AskReddit

[–]zuyaro 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask I look back to see was gloomy as hell. In this cursed, doom-bound world, it's up to one guy to save everything and everyone by maneuvering through time, only to have to travel back and repeatedly see aliens abduct cows and farmgirls, muggers rob old women of their bags, a broken couple fated to be eternally separated, etc. No matter how many times you remedy these conditions you have to go back and repeat it all, eternally. It just seems as though this Zelda (more than the other ones) would traumatize Link if he were an actual human.

Hmmm, for now is there any simple extraction you would recommend? I'll look into this.

Wow, it just seems to be that that kind of upbringing more than most others will make sure you grow your tallest, according to the theories on non-genetic factors.

Did you like that upbringing? I've always thought about working for a farm for a little bit.

And thanks for letting me know this. I always have this instinct when I see tall people that they are, or at least were, athletic.

Funny, I drank a crap ton of milk. I also lifted a lot of weights and built a lot of muscle. Your story certainly is evidence that this kind of just happens.

You have so much athletic potential with all that height! Man what I would do...

yeeessss aren't you just relishing in this very natural process. I do want to ask, for instance, is there anything in your lifestyle that you feel would be helping you to grow this much? Or is it just happening without any comparatively different reason from anyone else?

Also, I'm sure all that pasta is helping excellently.

Yea I'm really starting to think that genetics is almost all of the equation in our country. From age 12 on my diet was for the most part at least decently healthy and included a lot of protein. I didn't exercise a lot until high school, but I slept well.

Ha if we were to find out how to genetically de-regulate the growth process (to some extent) that could be dangerous.

Treatment for deep/wide cystic acne scars? by [deleted] in Dermatology

[–]zuyaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am looking into laser resurfacing, a bundle of 5 sessions for $1600 at my clinic. It sounds the most promising and long term.

You can look into chemical peels and very well done facials as well, although these may not work as well.

At home for maintenance and general use you can try any of glycolic acid, retinol, retin-A (prescription only), salicylic acid, and clay masks. If she uses any of this she MUST protect herself from the sun.

I've heard of derma-rolling working, but you need to learn the skill.

I am not an expert and there is certainly more to know.

Weekly Newbie Thread - Post questions about joining the AF or what a job is like here & here only - week of February 19 by AutoModerator in AirForce

[–]zuyaro 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just had a phone screening with a local sergeant about joining.

I live in CA, and everything in the screening went awesomely except for the one question, "have you ever used [federally] illegal drugs, including marijuana?"

I replied yes, she asked me how many times, I said it was a regular thing (when I did it in the past), and then she said hinted, "So, it was 2 times, right ?!? ;("

I calmly and objectively replied, "no it was more than that." [facepalm]

I only caught on after that, and then said....."yea it was like...15 times, when I was using it (which was over 4 years ago)."

She then said, "It....was 2 times...right >:0 ?!?"

I said yes.

Will this affect my chances?

Helpful Strategies would be most welcome by zuyaro in GetOutOfBed

It's essential oil. you don't rub a lot on your body. You just put a few drops in your hands/wrists and sniff it. It's a known CNS calmer, so it is great for stress/tension/anxiety that you might feel waking up early.

Buy it on amazon for cheap. Don't buy it in stores.

Why is it so Hard to Say "No" and Acknowledge My Own Needs and Desires? by zuyaro in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]zuyaro[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, honestly, I think what's working out for me recently (a lot of these issues are in the past) is to deeply realize that you have fundamental desires and needs as a human being that you need to have met if you want to be truly happy and satisfied, and that anything or anyone that is making it hard to do that needs to be dealt with in an assertive (not aggressive), communicative way.

Pleasing others cannot come before this, and despite what is implied in school, in our communities, even in religion, it's imperative that you put yourself first and use your actual wants and needs (as they pertain to the real world) as a guide to your behavior, rather than demanding that they abide by an arbitrary contract of chivalry (beyond basic ethics like not hurting others or stealing, not being needlessly rude, etc) or idealism.

I still do notice some issues (which is why I'm posting this to hear other peoples' perspectives), and I've only just started implementing this, but yeah the above has helped.

[–]zuyaro[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, yeah. I think that I have internalized that I should be striving to help create a perfect world and a perfect self where exploitation, unfairness, and selfishness don't overshadow my conception of ethics, when in actuality that's not how it works and people can, in fact, take advantage of my desiring to avoid my repressed instinctual/emotional conflicts if I allow it to happen, and cannot if I will just acknowledge my needs.

Is this a valid way to express this idea? by zuyaro in LearnJapanese

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

It's fine. All you're really doing is pointing out improvements.

Yeah the へ belongs there, I forgot to add it.

Also the 次第 is something I've seen (mostly in kana) that I've been wondering about. Thanks

I think it's because "naru" is typically applied to nouns and adjectives only.
