New releases in Science Fiction books (with covers!) incl Hamilton, Baxter, Brown - Week 28.5 - 3.6 by magnetic5ieldsin printSF

[–]rboymtj 0 points1 point ago

I'm a huge fan of Hamilton's space drama crap but the Mandel books are the only ones I haven't read. Are they actually worth getting in to?

Screw it. I seriously need new friends! Anybody want to meet up somewhere? I can really use fresh faces in my life.. by philly555in philadelphia

[–]rboymtj 3 points4 points ago

Doesn't that mean you need to join the academy soon? You're going to meet a ton of guys in the same situation and aren't going to have much free time.

I'm 19, I have psoriasis and I'm scared by Throwaway28282828in Psoriasis

[–]rboymtj 0 points1 point ago

Well, I'm not even going to comment on the kill myself part. Bad psoriasis like in the pictures sucks, and this is coming from someone that has bad psoriasis like in the pictures. It's a bitch but any life is better than no life. Actually I did just comment on it, but moving on..

I have Psoriasis on my junk sometimes too, and it hurts like a bitch and has impacted my sex life as well. Good routines help though. Some simple ones that have helped me are to use powder every day, use over the counter cortaid every few days and don't scratch. Also, be sure to keep clean and occasionally use jock itch/foot powder, because Psoriasis down below is the perfect environment for jock itch.

There are also new biologic treatments if your skin gets really bad. Humira, Enbrel, Amevive, etc. I've only been on Enbrel, but it keeps my skin under control except for extreme circumstances (no insurance.)

It's always better to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.

This is the book that finally tipped me over into atheism. Do you remember what solidified your views? by digi_betain atheism

[–]rboymtj 0 points1 point ago

I've never been religious and said I was an agnostic until I was about 21. I grabbed Michael Shermer's Why People Believe Weird things in an airport and it really echoed a lot of my viewpoints on critical thinking and such. That book snowballed in to a pretty impressive collection of skeptical, atheist and religious writings.

How many of you have paid for your meal at a wedding? My gf and I are expected to pay $80-100 each for our meals at an upcoming wedding, the bride says its an "unspoken tradition" by bootsmegamixin AskReddit

[–]rboymtj 2 points3 points ago

I'm getting married in September and we chose a 3 option buffet. I think we're doing $140 with an extra hour for the open bar.

When did your SO become "The One?" by rorybbellows52in AskReddit

[–]rboymtj 2 points3 points ago

I have really bad Psoriasis that covers something like 80% of my body. I usually take shots to keep it in check but a when I met my lovely lady I didn't have health insurance to pay for them. The kicker is the sun gets rid of my Psoriasis, so if I get really tan in the spring I don't have any problems until around October. For this reason almost every relationship I've had is over the summer and never lasts longer than five or six months.

When my skin starts to get bad I start acting really self concious and reclusive. I'd start acting so cynical and bitter that I'd either break up with someone as a preemptive strike or get dumped.

Anyway, my fiance kept me in the relationship when I started getting crazy and stayed with me through the entire winter. That's the girl for me.

There isn't, (in my opinion anything more annoying than someone who doesn't close a bracket. What are your pet peeves Reddit? by kevonwin AskReddit

[–]rboymtj 1 point2 points ago

People who are chronically late. I don't mean 5 minutes late, I mean 45+ minutes late all the time. Why do they bother making plans with set times if they're going to be late. I'm punctual, so I take it personally when people have me standing around waiting for them.

Temple isn't fucking around - it's pretty exciting to see so much construction on that campus. by filladellfeain philadelphia

How did La Salle get left behind with all the new construction? 10 years ago La Salle was more of a name than Temple around Philly.

Are these Temple Only residences? If not a certain percentage will be Section 8 housing. High income/Student Living + Section 8 housing = Crime.

ATTENTION: Mother's Day is 2 weeks away. (You're welcome) by StraydogJacksonin LifeProTips

Buy your mom some Praying Mantis Eggs! I've been doing it for the inlaws and anyone else I can think of for a few years and everyone loves them. It's like $30 bucks for a few egg sacks that come in the mail. You tie them to a plant or tree in your garden and they hatch in a few weeks. Hundreds of little mantises everywhere.

Ate alone at a restaurant for the first time last week. And it wasn't even that bad. Reddit, what things did you think would be awkward to do until you actually did them? by GirlRiotin AskReddit

[–]rboymtj 1 point2 points ago

I prefer doing this, movies aren't a social event in my eyes. I'm an outside salesman and when I'm having a rough day I'll just duck in to the theater for a couple hours. When it comes to movies I really want to see, I often go opening day at the earliest show. It's funny because it will be pretty much empty except for a few guys in suits by themselves doing the same thing I'm doing.

How long after starting Enbrel did you start to see relief? by gurftin Psoriasis

[–]rboymtj 1 point2 points ago

It usually takes me about 2 months for it to kick in for my plaque psoriasis, and about 2 weeks without taking it for my P to come back full force. I'm an unpaid spokesmodel for the company, I can probably answer most specific questions you might have. If you have a pamphlet I'm the blonde guy named Matt. (If they even use my pictures anymore, been a while.)

Didn't Bush also end contraceptive aid to Africa in place of abstinance only programs, which caused a lot of people to become infected?

As an older 30+ rudeboy I love seeing punks. I don't say how I was in to it before them, I talk about the bands they're in to in case I haven't heard of them.

Where's the best place to buy legal samples of radioactive material? by rboymtjin AskReddit

For the record he's an old comic nerd like me. I bought some mantis egg pods and plan on sending them with the radioactive material with a note saying. "You know what you need to do."
