Happy to hear you’re thinking of us! I think the average Canadian thinks more about our country’s international reputation than mindshare. Personally, it doesn’t bother me hearing that someone in another country doesn’t think about us very often, but it does make me happy to hear that when you do it’s positively. Please do visit!
Why does the executive branch have its own, non-judiciary judges? Is this not effectively a conflict of interest for them?
Because it’s the same kind of tired “I knew it all along” comment that’s under every depressing post like this - a comment that simultaneously undervalues both deep analysis and scientific rigor in service of a cheap, emotional moment of superiority over those who “haven’t figured it out yet”.
Tinder was a paradigm shift. It’s success around 2015 started to flip public perception of online dating. Suddenly it was for all kinds of young people that were looking for the convenience of profile matching. A rising tide lifts all boats so legacy platforms shared in the popularity, also getting runoff from the non-target audience of the newer apps. The change in perception of online dating allowed people to appreciate its pragmatism. We’re in an age of busy people optimizing their lives. The structure and accessibility of online dating just fits with those kinds of people.
In school I had a physics teacher who thought it was a good idea one day to use whiteboard markers on the glass windows instead of the whiteboard. I didn’t learn anything that lesson.
Kind of disagree. The design is actually really simple and cleverly looks like just a fin when small enough
On what?
Social skills, as the name implies, are meant to be trained, maintained, and expanded over a lifetime so don’t discount yourself because you feel like you’re too old or have tried and failed for too long. Have you considered seeking behavioral therapy? Perhaps you’re not picking up on the myriad non-verbal social cues that could help you better inform your conversations. Behavioral therapy can help identify where you’re lacking and give you the opportunity to practice skills and receive feedback from a professional.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
You don’t need to give explicit details of your coworkers’ lives, but from your writing it really seemed to me that you were more interested in mechanically optimizing conversation. This isn’t necessarily a bad perspective, but people already do that organically by understanding each other more and learning their history. The route of good conversation follows logically from there through empathy.
You’re descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.
Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I’m not a VPN user so I’m not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products
As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding
Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?
Fantastic, thanks for this. Any reason you didn’t go to 17?
The latest builds broke that for me. It crashes completely when I try.
If the feeling is in your gut and not your ass it may be too deep.
“Yoked to the max”
(Or just “yoked”)
If you want to reduce how audible you are outside your room you can add some sound dampening material to your walls and door and seal air cracks around your door. Those black spiked foam wall panels or heavy curtains are probably best for sound dampening, but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.
According to the article, he was only there because he was a falling risk and was waiting for a LTC spot. What reason would they have to not only cut his hair, but also throw away his personal belongings? It makes no sense
It’s language the Office of Immigration uses. They sit at the head of a court, decide on cases, interpret policy. Sounds very judge-like.
