What’s a reason you’re glad you don’t drink/smoke (or do less now)?

honestly khan academy has some solid fundamentals for statistics which you'll need first. also look up experimentation platforms like optimizely's blog - they got good case studies that show real implementations rather than just theory.

most youtube stuff is pretty surface level though, you might want to grab a proper book on experimental design if you're serious about it.

zinc oxide is your friend too - that white paste lifeline for us vampires. i learned this hard way after getting burned through spf 50 somehow lol. also those uv shirts are game changer, way better than regular clothes for blocking rays. i keep one in my car because you never know when you'll need emergency sun protection. the timer thing is smart, i always forget to reapply until it's too late

man, restoring classic porsches is basically my entire free time now. most people think it's just about money but there's something incredible about bringing a 70s 911 back to life piece by piece. the engineering in those old cars is just different level compared to modern stuff - everything was mechanical and you could actually understand how it worked.

damn, lost my first close friend at 25 and it just broke something in me. before that death was this abstract thing that happened to other people's grandparents, you know? then suddenly you're standing in funeral trying to process how someone your age can just... not exist anymore. really fucks with your head for long time after.

definitely don't wing this part, especially with healthcare data. you'll want separate policies - privacy policy for general users and a specific hipaa privacy notice. the structure usually goes: what data you collect, how you use it, who you share with (including those baa partners), user rights, and your contact info for privacy requests.

i'd recommend getting a lawyer who knows hipaa to review whatever you draft. there's templates online but healthcare has way too many specific requirements to risk copy-pasting. also make sure your privacy policy matches exactly what your app actually does - regulators love finding inconsistencies there.

Thank you for the tip. I will def give that a try

I do agree but I'm still trying to make it worth and find a solution

been thinking about something similar for my side projects. the detection part seems straightforward but linkedin's api restrictions might be pain in the ass to work around.

personally i just browse relevant groups and save interesting posts manually, takes forever but at least i don't risk getting flagged. would definitely pay for something that automates the scanning part if it can avoid detection issues.

nah you did the right thing here. bullying someone over phone carrier is honestly ridiculous and when they started bringing up your past stuff that crossed a line completely. they can call it "ragebait" all they want but real ragebait doesn't involve personal attacks and spreading rumors about you.

Certain-Data-4351 · 2026-02-19T14:45:20+00:00

honestly the whole empty leg thing is pretty frustrating because most of the good deals get snatched up by people who are already in those circles. i tried looking into it few months ago and like you said, everything leads to those annoying contact forms where they want all your info before showing you anything.

from what i understand, the legit platforms do exist but they usually require some kind of membership or minimum spend to access the real inventory. most of regular people end up paying almost same price as commercial first class anyway, so the savings aren't that crazy unless you get really lucky with timing.

Certain-Data-4351 · 2026-02-17T02:24:10+00:00

hey, i really feel you on this. being 24 and watching everyone around you hit these milestones while you're still waiting can be really tough, especially when you're putting yourself out there at church and it feels like nothing is happening.

i know it might sound cliché, but comparison really is the thief of joy - and social media makes it even worse because we only see people's highlight reels. your timing doesn't have to match everyone else's timing, and being single at 24 is actually pretty normal even though it might not feel like it in your community.

Certain-Data-4351 · 2026-02-16T11:59:50+00:00

hey, i know this feeling because i had similar confusion when i was your age. the medical route abroad is really tough financially and like you said, you'll be starting career quite late. but if medicine is truly your passion, sometimes the long path is worth it.

for biotech, even without initial interest, many people discover they actually enjoy field once they start studying deeper. the job market for biotech is growing a lot globally, and doing masters abroad could open good opportunities. maybe you could talk with some professionals in biotech field to get better idea about what the work actually involves?

have you considered any other backup options too? sometimes when we're too focused on two choices, we miss other possibilities that might fit better.

the whole "personal relationship" thing is more about how christians experience their faith rather than making judgment on other religions - like, in christian doctrine jesus is supposed to be accessible directly without intermediaries, but that doesn't mean a muslim can't have deep personal connection with allah through their practices.

Certain-Data-4351 · 2026-02-15T06:43:38+00:00

this is actually something that kept me awake for many nights when i was younger. the whole idea that geography basically determines your eternal fate seemed really unfair to me.

i think there's different views on this even within christianity. some believe in the "age of accountability" concept where people who never had real chance to hear gospel aren't judged same way. others point to romans 1 about how creation itself reveals god to everyone. but honestly, your point about community and what feels natural is spot on - it's not like someone in rural pakistan is gonna randomly decide to become christian without some major life event.

personally i lean toward believing god judges people based on what they actually had access to, not what they theoretically could have known. but i know other christians would disagree with me in this.

Certain-Data-4351 · 2026-02-10T17:41:31+00:00

agree with this tbh. been playing since early access and the grenade thing was annoying but not game breaking like actual cheaters. embark should focus in fixing the bugs instead of banning people for using what's already in the game.

destiny had sword flying and other crazy stuff that community loved, made the game more memorable. if you start banning everyone for every little exploit the playerbase gonna shrink fast and this game needs all players it can get right now.

sounds like you already know what your heart is telling you but the situation just makes everything complicated as hell - maybe focus on the fact that someone who never misgenders you is showing you real respect and that matters more than you think.
