  • Its a true language, you dont hand an illiterate kid shakespear and tell them to have at it, you start them with basic books, even guided readings, and have them read out loud, and then they advance through more complicated books until they get the hang of things and start making their own essays, they continue the process of moving from simpler to more complex books/code-projects until one day the developer becomes minted when they have an idea of their own and they realize they have the vocabulary and strong enough opinions already formed to just make the idea their own - and then the learning is self sustaining.

    Dont put the cart before the horse, shovel the shit for a while until you figure out where it lands - theres no workaround to gaining experience - just got to experience it





  • The first person on the panel, wearing two monocols and a rainbow progress lapel pin, “well you see, obviously we all want universal healthcare, but the reality is, we just cant afford it” as they say this, they sign another pledge to send billions of bombs to lebanon via isreal and just after an intern crawls in and delivers a bar of gold right in front of everyone as the camera pans to the next democrat who then rags about how progressives are just self defeating losers while he unawarely stands on the neck of a protestor and vocally wonders why they always complain so much as he twists his heel into the protesters larynx, the third democrat on the panel has fallen asleep - once a civil rights champion in the 1830’s, their age has crept up on them, but their district still seems to keep voting their coffin in regardless



  • Improved uv protection and longevity are the major points, so youll age more gently long term and you wont have to strictly reapply every 2 hours - since im mostly in doors minus a 20m daily walk, i only apply once in the morning

    But also the new sunscreens rub in and blend in better and dont feel as greasy so it not gross to put on and wear everyday

    I dont wear makeup, so if the sunscreen is super shiny or pilly my face looks wierd, i dont like how i look, not so with the new filters

    With my current sunscreen, its just part of the routine and its barely a thought for me - dosent smell bad, dosent feel bad, dosent make me feel sticky or tacky or greasy or shiny, i just put on 3 pumps (or finger lengths) to appropriatly protect my face, ears, and neck and its easy, and i use a cheaper american sunscreen on my arms to keep cost down

    Hard to describe, but i tried a bunch of fda-approved sunscreens once i understood how damaging the sun is and how it affects aging and skin cancer and never found one that i really liked, so i imported some from abroad at the suggestion of a friend and finally found my sunscreen, and now i feel naked without it, wheras it was a chore like eating boiled brussle sprouts before


  • Finally! Ive been waiting and importing sunscreens for years

    This is a big deal

    If youre not wearing sunscreen daily, especially so if in the southern half of the us, you ought to be. The worlds sunscreens outside of the us are much more enjoyable and protective to wear than whats previously been approved in the us.

    Theres still many great filters not yet approved, ill probably still be importing, i personally settled on the Reimann P20 sensitive skin - but ill definitely be checking out the new bemt filters as they come on US shelves to both save the environmental impact of shipping from europe and cost
