It’s a relief valve though. As someone who has suffered from unavailable care, black market drugs probably saved my life. I’m not terribly against adults being able to make such decisions on their own judgment.
The same story of publicly traded companies again and again.
Your steady growth isn’t good enough.
Your growth has to grow - and if it’s not growing fast enough then you’re not doing your duty to the shareholders.
Add in the fact that we’ve let businesses get so large they empty all the air from the room and we’ve managed to enshittify our entire society.
The search for short term profits doesn’t give a fuck
That’s next quarter’s problem
“I’m from a third world country”
Trump literally in the username.
Yep checks out lol
Google Search is dead. It just doesn’t know it yet.
What is this weird AI generated unbuttered noodle of an article?
I had to explain to a friend recently why
“I’m at Steve’s house”
Was fine but
“I’m in Steve’s house”
Was weird. Like, get out of there before you get arrested.
You’re only goofy if you skate with your right foot forward.
Just go talk to anyone over 65 about ‘sagging jeans’ and you’ll get the same experience.
This was me up until recently.
My advice: get a board and just go try it.
So much of basic skateboarding is just building confidence on flat ground. It’s hard to hurt yourself when you’re like 2 inches off the ground, at worst I’ve gotten some scraped knees and palms.
This guy’s videos are down to earth if you want some quick motivation:
Or just the auto-reply bots that swarm like flies on certain keywords
That seems very strange if it goes on too long. I’d suggest calling another pediatricians office.
Haha oh man it’s weird to see this mentioned so many years later.
I helped organize that protest. Thanks for coming down with us!
Picking up on hints is a thing that requires a lot of social context and emotional empathy/intelligence. Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any pro tips I can offer to help you better identify them except interact with girls more and have honest conversations where you’re not trying to get the girl to date you - it’s learning the hard way, but bridging that emotional understanding gap is the only good way to get a better understanding of girls as people (and get your heart rate down so talking to them isn’t a panic).
That said, if you can find the confidence, being a little blunt yourself can work as well. Girls can be dense too.
A lot of the reason girls are doing the subtle hint stuff is because they’re also not confident / unsure / scared of rejection / scared of coming off too strong. It’s a way of feeling out a situation without strong commitment. We kind of expect guys to do that back so that we can have a sort of subtle social fencing game to figure out if there might be mutual interest. (unfortunately, most of the time, everyone involved is too dense for this to be effective)
Honestly both sides kinda suck at this in their own ways.
It’s true, I basically had to learn to be super blunt to men.
“I think you’re cute, want to go on a date with me”
Because literally nothing else gets through :|
Man it’s sad how much distrust they’ve built up now
