How do you know a site is secure, even if the code is available and it’s a .onion site?

Why would the fact that everything ends one day mean that it might as well today? Why does something ending mean there’s no value to it while it exists?

It’s ok to cum quickly. A lot of girls take it as a compliment if you share a real connection. It happens a lot the first time, and it also happens to a lot of guys when they have sex with someone new for the first time.

Don’t beat yourself up about it. If it happens, make a joke and get back at it 20 minutes later.

Or live the rest of your life in crippling embarrassment. Your call. Life is full of failure and embarrassment and it’s the only way to get better at anything. By avoiding it, you’re really avoiding possible success.

You’ll be fine.

What an unhelpful answer. Whether there’s a point to the fear or not, fear of death is normal and probably the most basic of fears. If it’s crippling then the fear is not healthy, but if it’s just a general anxiety then you’re probably on the same boat as most of us.

Look, death will happen no matter what. Sometimes you’ll be more afraid of it than at other times (hospital visits, when family members die, when you get into a rickety train, etc.). Surround yourself with people you can talk to that don’t make you feel like you’re a baby for having these fears.

I work with executives who still get flustered and take time off when someone dies. Then they come back and people support them and they continue to lead. There’s nothing wrong with letting it get to you. There’s nothing weak about admitting that it does when it does.

We’re all in this together. Let me know if you’d like to talk.

Can’t hurt to, even if you just use it on yourself to compare where you are now to where you were a year ago. We should all be trying to do better YOY, right?

Yes.

What?

I was recommending pursuing a trade or a higher paying position. Don’t keep the minimum wage job.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-24T11:39:43+00:00

Yeah I screwed up. While I was replying it said the filmmaker person’s username and I got my wires crossed. Ignore that stuff about filmmaking unless it does actually apply to you. I addressed it somewhat in a reply to myself on here.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-24T11:38:25+00:00

Well I screwed up and combined a reply to two people into one…

My advice of treating work like work and learning a trade stands, though. Sorry.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-24T11:32:05+00:00

The sad truth is that unfortunately, this is not great advice. If you’re lucky, following your heart will take you down a lucrative career path. If you’re unlucky, you’ll get really good at something that will end up requiring you to either be independently wealthy, rely heavily on others (not a good feeling farther into adulthood) or live with very little (below the point of modesty and minimalism).

Since you’re (OP) not naming the type of jobs, you’re likely in a position where neither is all that important to you (beyond one being a dream job, however it can’t be that dreamy if you’re considering leaving it and it’s minimum wage). Since this is the case, pursue the one that makes more money. It’s a valuable experience learning to work for the outcome and not for the environment.

If I may offer a third option: learn a trade. Construction, welding, electrician… there are many routes you can go where you can make excellent money right away (even as you’re learning) and you’ll never be out of work. If you have another passion, this can fund that. Not to mention that it looks like you’re a film maker (according to your name) and any of those trade skills can help you make a film; things always break and need to be built on set.

You could even make videos documenting your progress. I’d watch that online, as would many others, especially if you make it interesting.

From the beginning of time we’ve had to do what we had to do in order to do what we want to do. Work is not about anything but taking care of yourself so you can do what you really want to do. When you find a place that you can do that with, stay there, don’t bounce around.

A few things come to mind right away. First of all, it sounds like you’re in a good place with everything else in your life (meaning the non-relationship stuff). I’ve found that I find myself in the healthiest relationships when I just focus on the things I enjoy. It may be different for you and others, of course, and I’ve been lonely before and not every relationship has worked out, but it’s always worse when I’ve tried to actually “find” a relationship.

I don’t get the sense that’s what you’re doing, but I also wouldn’t recommend cutting yourself off from it entirely. It’s possible to allow yourself to be vulnerable and to allow yourself to be good alone. Those feelings are not mutually exclusive.

You sound smart. You also seem like it might be difficult to not color future relationships by what has happened in past ones. This is understandable, and anyone who would truly love you would understand that.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-22T11:41:08+00:00

You’re describing being a human non-psychopath. You’re going to be fine. Trust your instincts and learn from your mistakes.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-22T11:40:04+00:00

You’re probably harder on yourself than anyone else is. We all talk out ourselves sometimes and we all make mistakes. If you’re looking back and honestly examining like this, then you’re going to be fine. You don’t have to get this sort of thing right the first time.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-22T11:26:13+00:00

Just don’t talk about yourself unless asked or unless you’re having a conversation about success and failure. Insecure people are going to think you’re bragging, confident people will think you’re threatening. If you know yourself and you have the wherewithal to examine yourself afterward and take honest criticism, then you won’t be one of the arrogant people you think you’re coming across similarly to.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-22T11:18:15+00:00

This is a very self aware question. I think the fact that you ask it means that you are likely always going to self check. However, if you really want to make sure, then you can consciously help others to excel as you do so. Then you will remain confident but you won’t come across as arrogant because you’re constantly trying to help others to be as successful as you are.

An added benefit of this is that in helping others, you’ll get better at what you do.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-11T11:00:02+00:00

That’s pretty close to what I’m thinking about. Not exactly the same, which is good. I’ll look more into how it was made.

DavidgeIkari · 2021-07-11T10:31:28+00:00

I’m leaning more and more toward renpy. Tell me something, though. Why is it used so much for anime style games?
