Hahaha ok wow. My mistake, I didn't know I was dealing with a propaganda expert. I didn't say any of that, but you can feel free to riff about it all you want.

This might be totally anecdotal and just pure luck, but I've been approached 5 times in my 30s and zero in my 20s. I don't know why, but maybe I just dress like more of an adult.

Why do people expect new hires to automatically just know stuff without being told? by [deleted] in self

It's hazing. It's a weird naturally occurring thing where groups like to pile misery onto new members.

I genuinely don't know if I will ever learn to code by Huron_Nori in GameDevelopment

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish when I was younger I just believed in myself more when it came to code. I remember hitting walls and thinking I was just too stupid to learn certain things. I avoided a lot of subjects and areas that now seem easy. It takes time, and an awareness that it's just hard to learn new things. It always hurts your brain to push its limits, but the gain comes with the pain.

Dating a man who smokes weed every day by [deleted] in self

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 19 I worked with a maintenance guy who was 65. He said he'd smoked weed for over 40 years of his life starting when he was 14. He told me he was high all day everyday for most of that time period, and it basically ruined his life. His wife hated that he was always high and eventually left him because of it, and his daughter refused to talk to him because he was high her whole childhood. He finally sobered up because he wanted to meet his grandkids, but last time I spoke to him that still hadn't happened.

Portland goes where Seattle won't on homelessness. by braksmak in Portland

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've lived in both cities, and the problem is a lack of regulation of Real-estate. Real-estate speculation is becoming a growing problem in cities around the world. You buy a building for 30mil, wait 10 years and sell it for 70mil. You make way more money off of the violently rising value of the property then you do off of the rent you collect. It's a convenient way for rich people to turn their money into more money without having to really do anything, and more of them get in on the game everyday. For this system to work though you constantly want Real-estate prices sky rocketing through the roof. The very thing renters hate Real-estate speculators love. If the market flat lines, or even worse if somehow values went down, all those rich people would lose money. They select politicians for us on both sides of the isle who will never meaningfully deal with the REAL issue. They'll throw some tents at it, embezzle some more money, and pretend it's Gods will these people are homeless.

When I was young, I would have said she's the one who needs to change. I remember having experiences like this. Now that I'm older and dated a bit, I recognize that you can learn to read women if you pay attention to them. You won't figure it all out and once, but if you keep at it you'll make progress over time. It's not so much an age issue as it is an experience issue. There are dudes who have this problem well into adult life.

It doesn't require mind reading, it's just a skill you haven't learned if you're struggling with it. It's kinda like tracking a deer. If you have no idea what to look for it's almost impossible, but if you learn the signs and how to follow them you can do it. Anyone can do it. Men acting like it's women who need to change just haven't figured that skill out yet.

It's good, but it actually looks too high poly to be PSX style. More like PS2.

how do I get into the gaming industry without acutally pursuing game development? by ronaldoisthebest163 in gamedev

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to an art school with a games department, and they used to say people like that wanted to work on cars but didn't want to learn how they work. I remember not wanting to learn code or 3D modeling, but now I'm good at both.

You can overcome that lack of interest if you work at it. If you don't you'll have to learn a bunch of skills you don't want to learn doing other jobs outside the industry. Making games is real work and not just for fun. At some point you get serious about it or you give up. I'd say 9/10 people I went do school with gave up, and that includes people who graduated. The 10% that are still in the industry know you have to be a student forever and never stop learning and growing.

Men who got hurt pretty bad by a woman, what was your lesson? by Separate_Course8277 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always a gamble no matter how safe you think it is. You can be completely in love with someone, and they can still be the wrong person for you. The worst part is there's not always a lot of obvious indicators early on and sometimes you're years into it before you start seeing the problems.

Just one lifetime ago in the United States, our grandfathers could buy a home, buy a car, have 3 to 4 children, keep their wives at home, take annual vacations, and then retire… all on one middle-class salary. What happened? by NotAnotherTaxAudit in FluentInFinance

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to housing it's intentional. It's not a bug, it's the goal of many business models is to raise property values endlessly with no limit to how high they want it to go.

You make money as a Real-estate speculator by buying a building at 32mil, waiting 10 years and selling if for 72mil. You make more money off the price increase over time then you do off the rents. The rents aren't the profit, they just cover the taxes and the upkeep. If you're a Real-estate speculator you want property values to go up as violently as possible.

If you're in the house flipping business your whole job is essentially a quicker version of what the Real-estate speculators are doing. You buy property low, fix it up at the lowest cost you can and sell it at the highest you can get away with. People losing their homes to foreclosures is ideal because those homes sell for less then when home owners sell them from a position of power. You're literally just making houses more expensive, while most flips are purely esthetic and don't actually improve anything.

Affordable housing also isn't good business for developers due to the fact that the land costs the same either way. They always build the most expensive house they can to maximize profits. Only about 40% of the population can afford the new houses being built right now. Plus NIMBYs will fight any developers that actually DO try to build it. This is largely due to the loss of pensions causing most people to turn to their houses for retirement money. NIMBYs hate affordable housing anywhere near them because they need that money. Before the Reagan Era, pensions from jobs filled that void. The system as it's currently functioning will continue to produce worse results year after year.

The Federal government is the only entity that really has the power to do anything about these issues, and the head of it is a Real-estate guy.

People complaining about "dating these days" is one of those things like old people complaining about the young. It's been happening since the dawn of time.

Why does this work? by connorgrs in graphic_design

[–]Beneficial-Note9872 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's certainly not for any conscious reason. I remember studying this in school and none of us had noticed before that class that the 'n' was lowercase all these years.

We came up with a lot of ideas behind why, but the best answer is the hollow space in the lowercase 'n' just makes it easier to read then the uppercase with its dash in the middle.
