  What do you get for the person who has everything and wishes each of those things were smaller?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Building a slow web⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting read. It captures a lot of how I feel and what I miss about the “old internet.”

  Allow me to introduce you to Americans…

  Well, duh. The photo isn’t of Doncaster because it’s already fallen to Hamas.

  We’re also stupid beyond belief. Have you considered removing your sense of shame and any semblance of introspection?

  But on a more pragmatic note, I think a lot of comfort in (anything, but especially in) social situations requires putting in the repetitions and trying to model certain people or traits. Who do you aspire to resemble? I’ve always appreciated media with fast-paced, witty dialog. Sitcoms from the 90s (for example, Seinfeld or Friends, to name a couple); movies by, for example, Kevin Smith or Guy Ritchie, and just becoming more comfortable with the language. Read more, watch more, expand your vocabulary, learn and master figures of speech. Then find people to hang out with and practice. Go for coffee, or a walk, or a beer, and be candid with your companions about your desires to speak captivatingly and confidently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I decrease acne after shaving my face?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve always had pretty sensitive skin and trouble with razor burn and then ingrown hairs and acne after shaving. I’ve used everything from cheap single- and dual- blade generic, disposable razors to Mach 3 (and four- and five-blade razors with handles that you replace the cartridges on) to electric shavers (Norelco-style with the three round foils as well as the Braun-style straight foil) to eventually safety razors. I’ve actually had the best luck with safety razors and trying to find a routine and style of shaving that keeps my skin less angry, as well as using a blade that works for me.

  A friend told me about Henson razors. They’re manufactured to really tight tolerances to keep the blade from slipping around while you’re pulling it across your face and I think the angle of the blade is different than most safety razors. It has been a night and day difference for me. I can actually shave faster and more haphazardly than before and I no longer cut myself shaving. And the best part is I no longer get razor burn, even when shaving against the grain. (Depending on the texture of your hair you may need the AL13-M model. I find that shaving pubic or body hair takes forever with their standard AL-13, but also it keeps you from cutting your balls off.)

  Yep, I have a friend who pickles watermelon rind. It’s delicious. I mean, it tastes like pickles and the texture is similar to cucumbers.

  I used to pass by a store that was a “Dollar and Up Store.” Which simply tells you that nothing in that store costs less than $1.

  Wool socks are the best and I won’t be entertaining assertions to the contrary. Wool is temperature regulating, not just super thick and hot, so there are wool socks you can wear in the summer. They also don’t hold odor (bacteria) as much.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to effectively protest outside my House representative's office⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is good advice. Each of us is a small force alone, but that force can be multiplied when we join forces with our comrades. In NY specifically, you may want to check out the Working Families Party: workingfamilies.org

  They are represented on the ballot and typically endorse the more progressive Democratic candidates. They could have local resources to aid you with your protest and you may be able to gather additional protesters. You may also want to connect with your local mutual aid group as there are often politically progressive people involved with those.
