    I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

      Where's this from I need to shake this person violently for their skincare routine. Pore cleanser before shower? Another exfoliator in the shower? A mask in the morning, every morning, after all that? But yeah, it's the alcohol in your aftershave that dries you out, for sure. And the last two products were just completely made up by the writer of this pasta.

        Tbf the quote is 30 years old and is literally coming from a psychotic man I wouldn't be surprised if everything he said in the movie was wrong in some form. There's a reason 4chan adores it lol

          It's about an emotionally unavailable person lacking a solid inner personality that fantasizes about brutalizing and murdering people. 4ch!n adoring him is both ignorance and a confession.

          I'm pretty sure he's not just vapid but also flatly believes the ad copy on the back of the bottle, kinda like how all of his music opinions are all single paragraph summaries from magazines

        Almost like there is something a little more than off with the person?

        It's the opening dialogue from Patrick Bateman in American Psycho.

        I saw a tiktok about his morning routine in the books. He uses like 20 products and swishes with three kinds of mouth wash.

        It's quite possible in the fiction as written that the character was an unreliable narrator lying, because he was a narcissist.

      I work as an employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to anyone.

    Is he mad because its a bad book?

    Solzhenitsyn is a massive hack only famous because the CIA could use him. Only westerners like him, the dude is a joke in Russia.

    (If you want to read a good book by a gulag inmate, read Journey Into the Whirlwind by Yevgenia Ginzburg, she's a communist who doesn't use Nazi propaganda and ridiculous fantasy in her non fiction writings)

      If I had to listen to Solzhenitsyn for any amount of time I would immediately check myself into a psychiatric facility

      It takes a lot of tries to get that "sweaty serial killer facial expression on an early 2000s edgy Wheaties Box" aesthetic. :kubrick-stare:

      I cannot understand what people see in him he's like the definition of unremarkable. Like both my right wing friends listen to him and like I don't want to be rude but like mfs what are you thinking this guy is nothing

        That is the reason I don't write off DeSantis. Have you seen the kind of unappealing weirdos that right-wingers hang off of every word of?
