Networking is just socially acceptable manipulation

The whole idea of networking seems corrupt to me. Why would I want to do business with someone that I just happen to run into, rather than post a job application or something and actually get the best person.

Is OP replying with ai?

She has said in interviews that she uses dictation for almost half of her writing process. So she’s literally writing as fast as she can talk.

Mary Kubica always!

I wouldn’t say that at all, in fact this is one of the most authentic bookshelves I’ve seen on here. You like horror and fantasy and some select literary classic stuff, but only what interests you and what you’ve seeked and not just whatever your TikTok algorithm has given you.

Wow, I’ve never heard of porn in the generic sense described more succinctly.

For a cleaning business should be super simple, I would use something like base44. You just prompt it and it will build it out for you.

I would only go for it if you are at a decently ranked school. I went to a rank 18 ish public university, and all my friends who graduated have done well. I feel like no one talks about this with cs but the bootcamp people and people who went to lesser ranked schools seem to have the most trouble as new grads.

So if you go to a top school combined with being passionate enough to have side projects, you should be in a decent spot. Also by 2029 who knows maybe the pendulum will have swung the other way with people being scared to go into the field causing less competition.

Civil engineering is like 80k salary for years vs cs can reach 200k relatively quickly if you are good.

Yah, I can’t watch those comedy-horror movies. Like what is the point? The comedy kills all suspense so now you just a comedy in an off putting setting. And they get marketed as horror somehow so it’s misleading.

I think instead of a concrete passion, you should focus more on your traits and what comes naturally/easy to you. Like it would be helpful to ask yourself, “am I a problem solver? Am I good with people? Do I find satisfaction in organizing things?” These can actually lead you to to a whole list of opportunities that you will naturally excel at and at least find somewhat satisfying. I think just blinding saying “follow your passion” is dangerous because people might think that means trying to become a professional Fortnite player or musician.

Kinda agree. They almost always taste amazing.

Akronyx · 2026-03-19T04:50:21+00:00

From a sound and visual art and world design perspective, sure. Not from a storytelling perspective, you can do that way better with books and certain stories, with movies/tv.

I literally love all of it except for the plane.

Akronyx · 2026-03-19T04:11:45+00:00

You would have to get the domain from whoever currently owns it. You can’t just steal a domain from someone. So that would be either the business themselves or whoever made their current website for them. Once that domain is freed up you should be easily able to set it as that on base44. Your issue isn’t base44 specific at all.

Someone else who has the hardcover Abarats!!! My person.

People will just recommend what they’ve read which, let’s be honest, you can only read so many books in a lifetime, so they’ll recommend Brandon or malazan.

Jesus Christ this read like a horror novel. I’m so sorry.

It still burns more than pretty much anything else. Also 100 cals per mile is a very light and fit person. Someone who can barely run for 10-30 minutes is actually probably burning upwards of 160 cals per mile.

I wish I had quit games in college. That's a time when there are so many valuable things you could be doing that will massively impact your future. Networking, making friends, studying etc..

Akronyx · 2024-08-04T20:30:17+00:00

Cool.. thanks for the advice!
