How long past a parcel's expected delivery date should I wait before I file some kind of inquiry to figure out what happened to it?
New question: I've had acne scarring now for longer than I've had acne, but can I do anything about it? The field of 'acne treatment' seems to be completely unregulated. Every treatment recommended to me by a seemingly intelligent, honest person is labeled a scam by another. I don't trust private cosmologists (I recently waited a month to see a public dermatologist only for the scum to tell me that acne scars weren't covered by insurance, that they didn't treat them there and then refuse to give me any advice whatsoever - no doubt to avoid getting sued).
There is no rule of thumb I can use, and no Scott Alexander of the skin treatment world to make medical research less opaque. No one has any skin in the game - I can't demand my money back if the treatments don't work. Judging by cost is impossible - rich people are much stupider than poor people when it comes to beauty. My worst case scenario is that I sink hundreds of dollars into treatments, spend months doing them, and come out of it with nothing but a lighter wallet/even more damage.
My final hope is tapping a reasonably intelligent hivemind with a lot more life experience than I do. So... first question, WHO do I go to? Plastic surgeon, cosmologist, or dermatologist? Second question, what treatments should I be wary of/are known to be scams?
If she sat in your lap you'd be making Aliyah before you could blink and I think you know that.

Don't project.
why going for a solution if you do not know the cause ?
and people that earn their money with treatments are in general not interested in offering preventive actions, or measuring characteristics of your body, that could indicate what a cause could be.
If you are female they can hide behind hormonal changes all the time, but as you are male, it is more simple.
I would make a check up on some basics of your body as it is now.
yes
and coconut oil is anti bacterial as well
AND is very cheap and simple to try out as a method on that method/treatment tick-off list.
EDIt
also a cheap, but perhaps not that simple method, is taking cold showers, or a good cold shower after a warm shower
Why? Is there some Palestinian model who'd get me to sign up with the PLO? Sorry, dude, Israel has all the hot girls.
The problem is the scarring, not acne.
I'm talking about treatment, not skin fresheners. Acid peels, lasers, subcision, etc.
Little scientific sound knowledge on that.
The many I had from high school time have meanwhile all disappeared. So they can naturally disappear.
What can be done from the outside I do not know.
But your own natural healing process, removing the scar tissue, closing the big pores, etc...will benefit greatly from a skin that has good logistics, undamaged blood vessels, to get your good micronutrients into your skin and again those cold showers and/or much sweating from exercises to detox your skin.
Overweight, bloodsugar spikes, smoking, diabetes 2, etc, etc, all bad because they damage your logistics in the very fine blood vessels near the scar
(the scar self already lacking the normal amount of bloodvessels, so repair starts from the edge)
Takes time

If they gave you a firm estimate, I wouldn't wait more than one day. If it's something vague like 6-8 weeks I might do another week.

Well, the projected (not firm) date was the 3rd. Delivery status has been "out for delivery" for over a week now. Usually that means it's on the truck in the area. The package was shipped locally, too. Not really sure what's going on at this point.
Definitely contact them to find out what's going on. After all, Canada Post drivers make mistakes and once they deliver the thing somewhere, they don't care if it's the right address or the wrong one. At least the local shipping means they can't claim "It must be held up at the border, not our fault".
They might claim that delivery times were slowed down due to Christmas, but it's time that was getting taken care of. A few days ago I finally got a parcel I'd ordered well before Christmas (one of the items was a Christmas ornament; I've decided to consider it early for next time, rather than late for this time).
The acne is over (not recurring), and you want to have final treatment of the scars?
That sounds like you'd need to consult a dermatologist, which might then forward you to a plastic surgeon.
Because (from my limited understanding), the removal of the scar tissue needs to be a physical one (no idea if it can be scraped off by a professional, or if it needs removal and replacement). Maybe a chemical option is there, but I'd expect that to take a considerable amount of time. Eitherways, the dermatologist should be able to give advice on that.
I do not think a cosmetologist is the right option here, since I do not think they are able to apply something sufficiently strong. (unless you only want to hide the scars or make them look better, then I guess they'd be the persons to go to).
No personal experience with this though. I just have bad skin (while thinking about this, for me a cosmetologist might be an option, hmmm)
There's also a strong possibility that you're fooling yourself. I've seen so many women complain that they look ugly/forty/like a cow when they look like a supermodel…I've gave online dating a try and I'm somehow baffled on how women see me handsome when feel that I look ugly. Is there something that I'm not seeing? Or am I gonna have to chalk it up to Yoda's saying "You must unlearn, what you have learned"?

You never see yourself for "who you really are", because such a thing doesn't exist. Everybody sees you differently, including yourself. People tend to be rather self-critical as well, so most people are probably a lot more awesome than they realize - except for the egomaniacs and psychopaths out there of course
@CivGeneral, You've done the science and women seem to like you. Don't try to understand it, just go with it. We all think we suck but somehow some women actually like us. When this happens it is best to not question anything. This is your new reality

I have a question about holes in submarines.
In the movie The Abyss, in what is granted not a submarine, we see this swimming pool type thing on an underwater base:
I believe in the movie it is shown that if you jump in this pool, you can swim all the way outside the station.
1. Is this true and would it be possible to have such a setup in real life?
2. Would you need a door of some sort, and/or an airlock?
3. Would it matter how deep you are?
4. Does this all mean that it's possible to have holes in submarines?
