- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 1 day ago:
Honestly lots of them grew up and realized that what they were doing wasn’t healthy for anyone including themselves. Neil Strauss wrote a second book detailing how PUA exacerbated his trauma and poor mental heath.
- Comment on What's the best way to ease getting back in shape after years of little to no exercise? 6 days ago:
My life was changed when I stopped going to the gym for a long hard work out and switched to what I call “strength snacks”. I do two circuits of three exercises twice a day.
I think that walking can be a great start. But also doing some sort of resistance exercise is also important and useful. You can start with a body weight routine and move up to weights once you are solidly into the routine.
- Comment on How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent? 1 week ago:
I mean , a minimum competence is the bar. I’m not recommending someone who is going to make me look bad if they get hired. But if you’re ok and my friend, I’ll recommend you and it’s more likely you’ll be hired over someone really good, but who doesn’t know anyone.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 1 week ago:
I wonder if someone tried claiming damage to their personal car?
- Comment on I got out easy, I'm assuming 1 week ago:
I want to take a slightly different track than talking about how awful the US healthcare system system is (and I can and do rant at length about it since I’m a former healthcare worker). One rare but significant outcome of fractures is that because bone shards are really sharp, they can sometimes nick or sever your veins or arteries. Part of keeping you “under observation” was to make sure you were in a place to get care at the speed you would need in the case this happened to you. Doctors (especially EM doctors) are trained to consider the worst case possible outcome and mitigate that.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 3 weeks ago:
It’s definitely a mix. I’m not a stylish person, but I find I get the most compliments when I’m wearing things I love.
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 4 weeks ago:
TBF, my (work) computer relentlessly tries to hide it. Why do things go to different files based on where I download from?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
What a fascinating quirk. Do you ever get ear worms? Are you just generally indifferent or do you dislike music?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Interesting. I like a pretty niche style of music and I feel like when they make suggestions after the end of playlists were regularly good enough to get added to the seeding playlists.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
I was using tidal for about a year but I just got really frustrated when my account got lost/interrupted when I updated my phone. I may go back for music discovery and playlists. However right now (and I plan for at least a few more months) I’m going to spend the money on band camp.
