And before that, the girl I wanted to marry broke up with me in part because of how my career was going.
I wonder how I might have a conversation about this with my future partner. Say I'm stressed about my job and she asks why and how she might support me. It would seem awkward to say it's partially her fault for adding to the potential negative consequences of failure.

I certainly spent at least 18 years of my life in severe sexual and romantic frustration, and if I do end up single again, I don't look forward to the headache that is modern dating in the West.
I'm worried about this for myself. Even once I do get into a relationship, I'm afraid my knowledge that it would be hard to get another one should it end might contribute to an unhealthy relationship dynamic.

I have some autistic traits which cause me to struggle with romantic relationships
Care to elaborate?

Mind if I still post occasional updates about his progress?

I move often, but for example let's say going on a date near Atlanta.

Seems like it might be pretty uncommon, unfortunately. I've talked to others who have said they don't know anyone outside of sales without a degree. witheredwojak.jpg

Does Twitch's extremely strict policy surrounding slurs, hate speech, not having banned users on panel shows, the permanent ban on destiny, the policing of offline and off platform behaviour, etc, make economic sense? I don't understand how it could, as it seemingly significantly pushes people to Youtube and especially more recently Kick as competitors, which is insane considering that Twitch initially basically had a monopoly on this.

Looks like those are all categorized as terrorism.

All with no degree? Just starting with nothing and accumulating job experience?

To what degree does Wikipedia call things "terrorism" in the encyclopedic voice rather than "according to..."? I'm trying to define the terms of a prediction / bet about the future.

Could you tell me more about insurance, if you don't mind? It's not just sales? That's more optimistic than I've heard from other people, but maybe that's just Canada.

I'm always telling guys in your position to do insurance. Typically it's a quick on the job training course (few weeks?) And then you're making 50-60k, often fully remote, busy and occasionally interesting work in adjusting, or later on fraud prevention.
Something like this seems like it might be the practical path for me.

Does Tinder actually delete your data after three months? Seems unclear.

I do keep a daily journal, but it's just a basic description of events.

Are you saying it can't be generalized?

Yes, to be clear, I'm not some turbo doomer about this. But dating is hard enough already without adding on even more filters.

Is your profile picture actually a picture of you?
Yes, but I shave now.
If so, then luck has nothing to do with it.
Of course, it's a figure of speech.

That's the wrong way to think about it. You'd have to instead multiply it by the risk they took, or consider the value of all such risky selfies.

Do stimulants actually make you focus on work rather than play? I thought it just made you focus on whatever it is you're doing. I suppose of course it's worth trying anyway, but I'm not optimistic.
Anyway, could you give some examples?
