Casting a wider net.

Some people just have to work harder in certain fields than others. You’re skills may be in building, writing, gardening or something else but they’re not in attracting a wide variety of matches and that’s ok. I also suck at making dating profiles, don’t photograph well and don’t have the most interesting job.

I just need to put in more hours on Hinge and reach out to more people than a friend of mine who says he just opens the app and can get a date within the hour.

For context, if I’m actively looking I can usually swing one or two dates a month which is fine for my schedule as I work and have other things I’m doing in my free time. I’m also in my 30s so am matching with people who also have busy schedules which makes scheduling even harder.

Both are happening.

It’s important to understand what went wrong so when you with on a fix, you won’t make the same mistake.

People can both bitch about politicians and also help fix the problem.

So long as the donor checks keep clearing, establishment Dems are happy to play spoiler for big business and let Trump destroy the country.

Many things are social constructs, but we also live in social groups

It’s as opposed to right wing Democrats who are also making islamophobic attacks against him.

I had a friend who did consulting right out of college. Half the time he said it was his job to suggest layoffs so the people in charge could pretend it wasn’t their idea.

Consulting services rarely are there to help figure out what to do, they’re there to help convince other people that what you want to do is the right move.

Yeah, that’s a tough one.

If you’re young, that’s just how it is right now. You’re totally valid in feeling frustrated or inadequate but also know you’re not doing especially badly compared to others in your position.

If you’re older, it just takes some people longer before the pieces fall into place. Right person wrong time kind of deal.

And you should wear it with confidence. Honestly had the most respect for people who are really cute out in public but then reveal their true gremlin selves at home when the makeup is off and they’re in pajamas and a t shirt.

Means they really worked for those good looks, which most people really need to do at my age.

The animals know there is a weird device there, they just sniff at it and keep going. Humans would probably investigate weird out of place things, especially in cities and more dense areas.

Only one has that true Frankfurt odor

I think phonetic alphabets are a pretty good idea (though I suppose they’re mostly phonemic).

I’m surprised more people don’t make fun of abjads.

To me, there’s two ways you could interpret that, one is what are the effects of magnetism which we learn on high school physics, the other other is why does magnetism have those effects which is more something you’d learn in an undergraduate physics or chemistry degree.

I don’t think they have as much control as you think, I just think they’re confident they can come out on top of whatever chaos he causes no matter what it is.

I’m pretty sure the correct term is a antipi

I feel like if you’re in a situation where you need to know how to improvise an anaesthetic for sutures, you probably should be in the ER anyway, but can’t get to one.

People who are smart in one or two domains often overestimate how smart they are in other domains. They develop a mental model, confirm it quickly, and never re-asses it.

The issue with AI, is we’re probably hitting our first real S curve with the current technology’s performance but a lot of people who bet big are only see the exponential part and assuming there won’t be a level off, or that the level of is far away.

There is no Moore’s law for AI.

I always set a timer when I do stuff like that because I will forget.

Some folks are born, silver fork in hand. But when the wait staff comes with the bill, lord the purse looking like a rummage sale.

You know women can be shitty partners too right? Not just men?

If I don’t trust my parents to vet potential partners, no way am I trusting the state for such a life impacting decision.
