To this day I still do not know!

Her: “I’m, like the Queen of Analogies!”

Me: “Really? What’s that like?”

Her: “. . . Fuck you! Nobody ever asked me that before!”

Married 14 years now…

That’s something you need to get over and you do that by practice. Forget the “attractive” part, focus on the “person” part.

A classic book to read:

This ^ I was at the hospital today getting some lab work done. Another guy was sitting across from me, head down, in his hands, breathing heavily.

“Hey man, you OK? You don’t look so hot, can I get you some water or something?”

He was OK, 81 years old, he was just upset from being jacked around by the hospital administration. We had a good conversation. I think he was fine when I left.

There’s a difference between “approaching women” and “APPROACHING WOMEN.”

You should be comfortable interacting with women in any environment simply because a) they are human beings and b) they’re over 50% of the population.

You can’t go outside and just never talk to women, that’s actually creepier.

You don’t have to be trying to pick someone up to, you know, treat them like a human being and talk to them.

If you’re going to list Space Ghost you have to have the Herculoids.

Pretty sure we’re speed running that part.

You can pretty much design a poster in any art program and there are bunches and bunches of them out there. There isn’t any one specific one just for posters that I’m aware of.

The “kill yourself” comment is ban worthy, I’d be sure to report that one at a minimum.

This is one of my cats, do you think she’s looking for meaning?

Life just… is. Don’t look for a deeper meaning. Enjoy what you have.

It’s not just racial stereotypes either.

Say you met this guy on the street:

You are going to form opinions.

Retire. Fighting my medical conditions is a full time job as it is.

That and there’s no supply chain for parts, just the machines. They don’t want to pay to warehouse parts that may or may not be used.

Godzilla. People would freak the fuck out!

The inadvertent typo of “Conmunity” is GOLD.

If it doesn’t mean something, it SHOULD. ;)

My kid was in your shoes about 4 years ago. He went with the SWE gig and is now making 300K per year. Of course, his specialty is AI, and he’s a cited expert with published papers and such.

No masters, no PhD. His wife also got her full citizenship last year.

But the real kicker is, if you aren’t satisfied with the three choices you’ve layed out, you must find a 4th path. Nobody says those are the only 3 choices.

TBH, I unplugged from reddit when they killed the API access.

The paintball one looks like they just copy/pasted Google’s AI response rather than them being an AI themselves. The top one? Yeah, not so much.

Excellent!

Bonus: The worst ones lived juuuuust long enough to see Obama elected. ;)
