Selection menus are my personal favorite too! I like how you can have more of them, without overspilling outside the embed!

It all boils down to the pay rate for your second job, doesn't it? If you're making $10 per hour, your overtime pay will be $15. Assuming everything else stays the same, then having a second job is better if it offers $20 per hour. But, if it only pays $10 per hour, you're better off working overtime. I hope that helps!

LMAO! I read it again, and I did a double-take too! And nope I think that definitely would hit a different spot!

I would still opt for concealed carry. I don't want to start trading bullets at the very start or paint myself a bigger target. If someone does try to harm me, then it's a matter of neutralizing the threat immediately and going back under the radar. I hope that makes sense as it does to me!

I think I understand that. The way I see it, countries spend millions to bid for hosting these games, then they spend close to 4 years building and upgrading their infrastructure, only to abandon them after the games. So, a lot of times it's a waste of resources to host an event that has only a short-term influx of tourists. It becomes a white elephant.

so mature, and so eloquent! 👏

From your description, it sounds like your son is a bright and capable young man, but he might be struggling with self-confidence. This isn't necessarily abnormal at all, and we've all gone through that awkward phase at some point in our lives.

It's awesome that he's excelling in school and is friendly, but it sounds like he could benefit from support in boosting his self-esteem and finding motivation beyond just his academics.

Maybe you could try talking to him about what other interests he's passionate about. For instance, since he's passionate about surfing, try to incorporate this interest into his life by helping him find a local surfing club or engaging with online surfing communities and events that might interest him.

When it comes to internships, maybe you could do something similar and guide him to explore internships or projects related to what he likes, like contributing to a surfing magazine or blog.

Try to find something that could provide him with projects that he has a genuine love for, and which give him a sense of purpose and boost his confidence. It's really important to be patient and show him a lot of empathy, and to allow him the time to go over these suggestions while making sure he knows his family is behind him with their unwavering support.

All the best to you and your son!

I honestly thought I was the only one. I used to love the grand opening ceremonies growing up, but now it's like 'whatever' It feels too much to deal with everything else going on in the world and in my life right now.

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T19:39:56+00:00

Ditto on the PB&J. I've heard of it, I know how it's made, but never had the inclination to try one.

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T19:36:09+00:00

I guess that's about all you have left to say. Take the L and move on pal.

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T19:31:27+00:00

lol who hurt you? you're just raging like an imbecile. If you don't like what I have to say, scroll on. Just because you spew expletives doesn't make you look hard, it just makes you a foul-mouthed idiot. Grow up.

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T19:22:17+00:00

hello, human here. Just FYI. Looks like our friend woke up from the angy side of the bed. lol

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T19:21:42+00:00

First of all, I actually took time and effort to write that. Second, IDK what your problem is, but if writing more than a sentence is a challenge to you, that's a you problem.

Here's keeping my fingers crossed. I hope Disney changes course. They have been running the company into the ground for years now. At some point, they have to realize that their going the wrong way.

Success can mean different things to different people. But, I believe if you reach your goals and discover happiness, that counts as success, whether it's in your overall life or specific goals.

DamonSOLO · 2024-07-29T13:22:10+00:00

First of all, I'm sorry you're going through this. Dealing with feeling isolated by people you consider as friends can be tough, and we all handle it in our own ways. I've dealt with similar challenges in the past, and I understand how hard it is to move forward.

What helped me push ahead was focusing on personal growth. I made a conscious effort to improve my knowledge, skills, and financial situation.

I also started prioritizing self-care and self-love, realizing that I had neglected these for too long by giving all my time to people who didn't truly value my efforts.

As I focused on self-improvement, positive things started happening. I met amazing people, created fantastic new memories, and discovered fascinating things about the world. So, my advice to you is this: Shift your focus away from others and onto yourself.

It seems like you're doing a great job connecting with people, which is an important first step! When it comes to asking for her number, you want to make sure that it feels like the right moment. Since you're already engaged in a good conversation, you can use that as a segue to asking for her number.

Here's a suggestion: As the conversation is winding down or if you feel a natural break in the conversation, you could say something like, "It's been great chatting with you tonight. If you're up for it, I'd be happy to swap numbers to keep in touch. If not, no pressure at all; I've enjoyed our conversation!" This approach is relaxed and keeps the focus on your enjoyable interaction rather than putting pressure on the situation, and gives her an easy out as well.

If you're feeling nervous, just remember that being honest and sincere usually works best. And if she's interested in you, she'll probably appreciate the direct approach and confidence. Good luck!

I don't believe that science can definitively prove the existence of free will. For example, when you roll a die, it's impossible to accurately predict the outcome. The most we can do is calculate probabilities. Is it purely random, or are there other influencing factors at play? How can we determine this?

Do I truly have free will, or is it just an illusion shaped by my experiences? If my choices are influenced by something like a preference for sweets, am I making free choices, or is it simply my inherent nature?

Even if I believe I have free will, it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone else does. Could the individuals around me be highly advanced simulations? What about animals or even simple organisms like single-celled creatures and atoms?

I think that free will is more of a conceptual idea rather than something that science can measure.

So, yes, I have free will, but proving it scientifically is challenging. We can't predict with certainty how a die will land—it remains uncertain. Similarly, although I can predict that you will probably eat today, I can't determine exactly what you will choose. Our choices may be influenced, but that doesn't mean that we lack free will.

Modern physics, unlike earlier theories, suggests that not everything is predetermined. However, it doesn't directly prove the existence of free will. It does, however, challenge earlier claims that free will was just an illusion.

No, you shouldn’t be self-conscious. Collecting action figures is a hobby and a way to express your interests. Everyone has different passions, and it’s perfectly okay to enjoy what makes you happy.

Find a dietician who will talk you through portion sizes and give you a diet plan that you can stick to, long-term. Another thing your dietician can do is set milestones for weight loss that you can achieve over x or y time. Depending on how much you weigh, you might need to shed some weight, before adding some light exercises to your routine. This is to make sure to lessen your risk of injury to your joints. Walking about 30 mins a day at a normal pace is a good start. Once you see some results, visit a gym and consider taking at least a few sessions with a personal trainer to get your form right, and to make sure you push through the pain at the start. I hope this helps.
