Real life help & advice

My face when I read #809-813.

[Orpheus]

Don't tell me you and your sister (or brother, I don't judge) never wanted to experiment? What kind of scientist are you?

 

Besides if you have kids, they will be super kids. I would know.

 

What the f*ck?

 

There's nothing else I can say.

[Bows]

Saru says what he pleases. However, I must agree. What the [bleep]?

[Dupin]

He's trolling, obviously.

 

OT: Is anyone aware of a top-secret magical anti-acne pill? I've had minor acne for four years. It's not that bad, but the fact that it has never gone away in four years tells me I'm doing something wrong.

I know that there are prescription acne treatments that come in pill form, but I'm afraid I don't know any by name. I use Proactiv, it's a three step face wash program and it gets rid of major and minor breakouts fast, and keeps them gone. You just need to make sure you use it daily.

Start using witch hazel as a face cleanser and an aftershave. Just splash it on; you can get a big thing of it for cheap at any drug store. It's good for cuts and stuff you - your mother might even keep some.

 

But it's a great astringent. Minor acne sucks, because it sticks around forever. My body decided to go through puberty in about six months, so now I have some acne pigment scars. I hear those only stick around for a year or so, but they're already fading like crazy. I haven't had any real acne in months. Kind of weird.

 

I think the biggest acne treatment is accutane, though. Ask a doctor.

When wanting to apply for a job, at the customers service desk should I ask for the manager or just an application form?

 

I'm thinking of saying, "Hi, can you tell me how to apply for a job in this place?"

[Pirate_Felix]

Try looking on their website.

[obfuscator]

Bring in a resume to give to them. At that point you could also ask if they have a specific application form they'd like you to fill out.

[Giordano]

Yeah, a resume will help, even if you've got nothing important on it. Not many (young) people give a resume, they just apply, so a resume is like "o yu r srs" and gives you an advantage over those who did not.

[Star.]

Ah, I thought you'd give in the CV (resume) when you give in the filled application form.

 

I am now surfing websites too.

 

My CV is a bit rubbish so I'd better brush that up. Thanks guys.

[Sam]

It's better than nothing/those that didn't bother applying with a CV.

[Myweponsg00d]

I have a question...

 

Today I was riding the city bus. I took my seat, looked across from me, and met eyes with this guy. So he says to me "Bout time they put new tanks in"

 

And I was like...what? And then I see this gas station that was having its tanks replaced. So I'm like oh okay...normal guy...just wanted to mention this thing.

 

But THEN he starts rambling on and on about the tanks. All kinds of random information like "Well the company goes and spends 2 grand on them tanks...but thats why theyre supposed to be replaced every decade. I had a brother who worked for an oil company, he says...blahblahblah" And I'm starting to notice that his thoughts seem really disconnected. Then I realise that he definitely has something wrong with him. I was on the bus for 30 minutes and that ENTIRE TIME he did not stop talking. Not even like 5 seconds between sentences. First it was the gas companies, then it was some talk about cars, then he was going on and on about his friend who works at the football stadium...

 

Anyway, this isn't the first time this has happened to me...I was just wondering if anyone knows what this man's disorder was called?

[Giordano]

Being an annoying idiot?

[K4ylan]

Being an annoying idiot?

 

bout 90% it is this.

there might actually be something wrong with him, but most likely he's just an annoying idiot.

[Skull]

I would guess that he was high. People tend to just do the whole stream of consciousness thing when they're high. Or he liked hearing himself talk a bit too much.

People who are high on public transportation are definitely NOT going to talk to you for 30 minutes non-stop. They are much more concerned whether or not you can tell if they are high.

Being a regular bus rider (or as my friend and I like to call them: drifters). Seriously, I've never seen such a Spengbabish collection of people, ever. Even Walmart doesn't hold a candle to the public bus.

 

One of the bus drivers created a system when if an annoying regular is about to get on board, he quickly puts a newspaper on the seat behind him and tells them that some bum pissed there, in order to avoid having long strange conversations with them.

 

And another bus driver trolls me every time I get on. Only me though...

[Dupin]

annoying regular

trolls me

How strange.

 

Where I live it's the subway that's like that. Every freaky person in the area must be drawn to this dirty old thing just to be with people like himself.

OK so I have a major problem here.

 

Since middle school I have been playing online games like RS and stuff and doing nothing else (no life, I know). I still had friends and stuff at school and did one extracurricular activity (robotics).

 

I am now entering my senior year at high school and have no idea what to do with my life. I am very smart, #8 in my class. I am also starting to get very bored of gaming. However, I seem to have no interest in anything else. It feels like its pointless to do anything because nothing worthwhile will come out of it.

 

It basically seems like there is no fun in life. I like to watch sports, but I can only watch a game for 30 minutes before I start to get bored. I can't really go out anywhere because I live very far from my friends (out of city school). Also, my parents think that I am "perfect" and that I don't need to be doing stuff that "stupid American kids" do (they are from India) and think that I will ruin my education doing that.

 

So here is my question: What can I do for fun? Anything I try gets boring to me really fast, and I come back to this question in a worse mental state.

Get a hobby. It can be anything, really. Trial a number of different things until you find something you're interested in.

That's my problem. Either I can't do something or I have done it/don't like it.

There must be something you enjoy. Are you interested in any of your classes? Do you take electives? Do you like music, or books, or a sport?

 

It's not a huge problem if you go to college not knowing what career you want - most people do that. But you should at least know what area you're interested in.

Running, fitness, football, handegg (if you live in the US), piano, guitar, electric guitar, keyboard, start up photoshop, start up GIMP, try illustrator (lots of money to be made here) or make a blog?

WTF is handegg? I live in the US and I've never heard of it. Do you mean American football? Because that is the strangest name for it I've ever heard.

 

Illustrator, I'm assuming, is a program like photoshop/GIMP. Where is the money in that?
