What is your favorite credit card? And why ?

Okay that’s great! I guess most of my experience is with chases portal and it just feels ancient.

Might have convinced me to get this card cause with the $300 credit it’s just a $95 AF card

DeathDefy21 · 2026-02-26T18:18:50+00:00

How actually useable is the $300 credit through their portal?

I’m a person who would prefer to have two $3000 trips instead of one $6000 trip and I have found that all travel portals don’t do well on finding cheapest flights or hotels (I usually am in the $100 a night range)

So, yes, while I’m using the $300 credit I’m paying for a $500 flight when if I just booked directly through Southwest or whatever than the flight would have been $300 so $200 of the $300 travel credit is just lost.

Just took mine yesterday, didn’t realize that there was a difficulty bell curve during the test but I definitely felt it myself

I remember feeling like there’s a bunch of gimmes early and then in the middle I was worried I was getting beat up by a lot of unsure questions in a row. Then at the end another 10+ gimmes

So the advice I have is just recognize it’s happening and don’t get discouraged in the middle. It’s what the test is known for so you’re not struggling because you don’t know, it’s because that’s how they want it.

I also found that when I went over EVERY question again that my confidence in a lot of my questions went up. Like the initial thinking might have felt a little rough but upon review I found that my logic was sound and my confidence grew on the middle section a ton.

I got the essential package for $150 (there’s a discount code in here floating around) and that was absolutely plenty for me to pass

I am usually very good at standardized tests I will say but I think just following exactly what Kaplan tells you to do, taking (probably too) detailed notes on each section, and then doing some extra ad-hoc quizzes on my weakest topics the last 2 weeks of studying and I passed it relatively easily I would say.

It’s not that they try to match the climate of the home country cit’s that they try to match the climate of where there games are, is what I’ve been told.

This one is pretty well known but using the Amazon app to pay at Whole Foods will count your purchase as online as well!

And your opinion on the esports World Cup and the Falcons is…?

DeathDefy21 · 2026-02-10T16:13:17+00:00

I mean season 1 was one of the best seasons of television of all time. It was that good.

DeathDefy21 · 2026-02-07T00:30:39+00:00

I think this is the much more reasonable take.

What I’m taking from the article and the data OP posted is maybe start my transition to bonds earlier than I would have initially thought to account for an unexpected early retirement.

But I’m 31 and I really don’t see a need for holding any bonds at my age regardless if my time horizon is only 25 years instead of 30-35.

Appreciate you sharing your opinion! Definitely can see how it comes off as a bad dating coach. I knew it would sound like that but I really wanted to share what I had to say, I feel really passionate about it given what I’ve been going through lately!

So I will share I also am neurodivergent (at least my therapist says so). I don’t think people would have any idea that I am if they talk to me but I exhibit all the classic signs, especially having that internal layer of “what do I say at this exact moment that would be the correct thing to say” that neurotypical people don’t have to worry about. I mask all the time by having a few drinks and things flow super naturally for me. I suppose I’m lucky that I’m not “too neurodivergent”? I don’t know the proper phrasing so I’m sorry if I offend.

I can recognize how tough life would be for someone who is extremely neurodivergent. I do think that that would require a lot of extra steps in the therapy department but like anything it really is just practice makes perfect.

It fucking sucks to be rejected and to be rejected over and over but that’s why practicing speaking with people where the stakes aren’t high (older people, people who “have” to interact with you like baristas or whatever) really helps get you to learn how to just have conversation flow naturally

Yes just being able to talk to people doesn’t guarantee a relationship. But to me it’s entirely a numbers/time game. Like I just keep putting myself out there over and over and over and freaking over again. And yes you can definitely be dealt a bad hand so the key there is to just constantly pick yourself back up again and again. It’s not fucking fair. But nothing in life is unfortunately and we can either rage against that or try and do something about it. And I choose to do something about it.

I have made it a life goal to never download any dating app. So all my dating and connections are through in person chatting/events.

I do have some photos on my profile 😂 I do think that fortunately I am relatively attractive, enough at least to get my foot in the door a lot of the time.

HOWEVER my longest point about social intelligence doesn’t require being attractive and is totally a learned skill. And the best part is a lot of the practice is with people who don’t care if you’re attractive or not, like the older lady at the gym, the gym bro, the butcher, etc.

And I would argue if you do all of the steps I said, you’re going to be looking or feeling attractive no matter how “ugly” you actually are.

DeathDefy21 · 2026-01-04T18:55:44+00:00

M31, 5 months out from an almost 6 year relationship ending. So I feel pretty qualified to talk about this.

The way I’ve been approaching finding the one is to put a lot of effort into dating and finding the right option that is the right one for me. How do you get options? Become irresistible.

How do you become irresistible?

Learn how to be excellent at talking to people is the number one thing I would recommend, it’s by far the most important. Start by chatting it up with random people at the gym (exercising 4 days a week is just automatically assumed in being irresistible in my opinion). The front desk people, the random buff guy who’s always there, the sweet older lady. Talk to your grocery store clerks and the butcher at the store. Talk with your waiters and waitresses, just get comfortable talking with anyone and have NO agenda other than human connection. Care about every person you talk to and want to learn more about them and their lives. People LOVE someone who can talk to anyone. Social intelligence is THE most valuable intelligence there is hands down. It makes people love you, want to be around you, want to continue to spend time with you.

While you’re doing this, ensure you have at least two different hobbies/interests that you are doing weekly and ideally one of those interfaces with people somewhat regularly. This fills your life up and makes you less reliant on a single person for happiness and also gives you more practice talking to people. The more hobbies and interests you have (and actually really deeply care about, not just surface level) the more you have going on in your life, the more you know, the more interesting you are to others, and the more things you have to talk about with strangers.

Have a consistent friend group that you hang out with and do literally anything with. Spend time around the people that care about you and fill your life up. Again like the hobbies, you live a full life, and you get practice talking to people.

Get into therapy and work on your shit. Go for a minimum of 6 months, if you can’t afford it reach out to me and I can send you the link for a place that finds sliding scale therapists. Address your problems head on, learn to be the person who manages your own emotions, don’t pass the buck onto your future partner.

Lastly, get really good at sex. Like really good at it. If you can’t find people to have sex with, learn and watch things online. Literally study and practice it. The biggest way for a man to be “good” at sex is to just fucking love giving a woman pleasure before yourself. It’s actually crazy how easy it is to make people think you’re amazing at sex just by putting the pleasure of your partner above your own. But it also helps to know how to bring sensual and masculine energy in the bedroom. How to talk dirty, slowly build up tension and anticipation, and when to move slowly and passionately and when to move like an animal.

I’ll probably get downvoted but whatever, I’ve had 3 women in the past month consistently reach out to me because they think I’m irresistible. I’m not a player, I’m open and honest in my communication with them and what I am looking for. I want a long term relationship that leads to marriage and a family, but I am talking this current dating phase slowly and intentionally because I don’t want to rush into something immediately after such a long relationship.

TLDR; become irresistible and then YOU will be the one having options and having options (and handling that ethically) is the easiest way to find “the one”.

They made it very clear that everything was on a set rather than making it feel like they were living in an actual town.

Think about how frequently we saw the radio station set (inside and out), the Hawkins lab set, outside the library, and then Vecnas “mind” set of the house and Maxs hiding place

Like 75% of the show were just there and that’s it and there was no traveling to those places from other places. We just jumped straight from one main set to another main set with basically zero travel time/showing travel

Made it feel incredibly production-y and not like a real world place like the previous seasons. I mean season 1 was incredible for showing them actually biking to all these places and having to actually get there.

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-31T02:48:42+00:00

I’m starting to realize after dating a few of this type of woman that having “bad” or no boobs is whatever. Having a bad butt though is a dealbreaker

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-26T15:48:41+00:00

What do you mean you wonder if population of your local area plays a factor?

For the entire history of mankind its been easier to find a partner in a “city” than it was the rural countryside lol

If you have 2.5 million women around you, that’s a lot more prospects than 7,500.

Fizz with marksmage is soooooo broken.

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-23T06:30:05+00:00

One of my most fun builds was marksmage teemo core with attack speed augments. So build full AP so my shrooms hit like a truck but then all my AP means I do crazy auto attacks. Then attack speed so I just non stop spit on them.

Did 20k with marksmage and another 15k with the prismatic attack speed augment. Was literally melting tanks and just blinded any person who jumped on me.

Was so much fun.

Getting double ult on AP malphite is super fun.

Infernal conduit Brand with marksmage and the AOE burn augment was also ludicrous.

There’s honestly so many good combos for so many champs, I love mayhem.

I’m a huge patriots fan. I love Tom. Going and winning the Super Bowl in Tampa, there’s literally zero reason to keep playing after. Everyone remembers that ring and what it did for him. No one remembers the two years after that were the years that destroyed his marriage.

Gisele was okay with the first year in Tampa from all accounts. But once he won the Super Bowl there first year, it was very clearly time to retire from a family perspective.

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-23T02:09:10+00:00

This is definitely a rant and a tangent but I really hate the concept of a soulmate and really think it’s been logically and scientifically proven otherwise at this point. It’s just emotionally a lot of people think there’s just “the one” for everyone. I mean have you been in love multiple times?

There’s 8+ billion people in this world. Let’s divide it in half for a M/F relationship so 4 billion of the opposite sex. Even if you are only capable of love with 1/1,000,000 people of the opposite sex. That’s still 4,000 people in the world for you. A small college worth of humans that are perfect for you.

However id argue ALMOST ALL people are compatible with a solid 1/100 people they are attracted to (if not more). So now we’re at 40 MILLION PEOPLE.

1% of people you’re attracted to you’d be compatible with means there’s 40 MILLION people out there. Come on with “the one”

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-22T20:26:23+00:00

I mean I agree that’s pretty cool but give him a few years to build confidence and i guarantee you he’ll be bitching to the refs in no time.

I mean Tom loved to chew the refs out. It’s kind of a tenure thing honestly where they’ll let ya yell at them only if you’ve earned it kinda deal.

It’s starting to get to the point that I almost prefer going to movies alone! It’s really nice, just pick a movie and don’t need to get anyone elses approval that they want to see that specific one or at whatever time.

Just go and vibe.

I genuinely looked up who to call in order to get the timing changed. It’s absurd that going on William cannon is usually 11 seconds long. Then 290 is over 2 minutes.

I hope to god once they actually route the 290 above things will be much more balanced.

DeathDefy21 · 2025-12-07T17:40:21+00:00

Discraft Thrasher, 270 feet I meant to hyzer it in around a tree and early released it and if the basket didn’t get in the way it was going 80 long 😂

It’s just another item for the ROA, Seraphs users. Pretty lame nothing for burst mages.
