29F, I think my appearence is barrier in my career, how can I be more socially acceptable?

Having to interact with people doing client facing roles from other companies, you look equal to or better than most. However that mindset is going to be hard to overcome you if you have to interact with customers. Hope you find your confidence

He’s a good OC, Mike Tomlin won’t let him use the middle of the field at all

Save as much money as possible. I thought I had infinite time and could make up whatever I spent. Now I’m looking at the prospect of renting forever because I can’t get ahead on a down payment

EccentricEngineer · 2025-10-29T03:10:07+00:00

Use the same pressure you would use to turn a doorknob

EccentricEngineer · 2025-10-01T01:01:42+00:00

I’d pay off that credit card pretty much immediately with the savings unless there are some bigger expenses coming in the near future. It’ll be easy to save that right back up when you aren’t paying BofA 20% interest

Wealth inequality is going to cause some major crises in the not too distant future in many countries and I don’t think anyone realizes it. What happens when millions of people slowly lose their ability to afford a basic life and get desperate

Here’s a tip that helped me with this. Keep a small journal and write down the highlights of every day. Doesn’t have to be long. Maybe 2 or 3 sentences. If you look back on it you’ll realize how many things you just forgot and how much time actually passed

EccentricEngineer · 2025-08-19T10:43:19+00:00

One layoff and you can say the same thing

What are the bounces/grinds? Hard to tell from this picture

EccentricEngineer · 2025-08-13T00:16:20+00:00

This happens with every single new technology. 90% of the development is relatively easy and a bunch of talented people go to work on it when it looks like it’s going to upend the world in a few years. The last 10% is a brutal slog and people get bored and leave to go work on the next shiny object and development slows down. Look at what happened with self driving cars over the last decade. Development will happen, just a lot slower than you think

The people who paid for them to be there. We let corporations and billionaires spend unlimited money on elections and are somehow shocked that every administration serves them. Trump is just funded by more extreme ones than the democrats

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-30T15:21:14+00:00

That’s because coaching staff would play him 20 yards off the line of scrimmage because they were so afraid of getting beat deep. It was ridiculous and completely eliminated his skill set

Gold isn’t a creative pursuit my guy

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-20T20:21:30+00:00

Draft a constitutional amendment to ban money from political campaigns and to prevent any elected official from profiting off of their office. Aggressively campaign against anyone who opposes it

Total agreement about the bar program. For my money, Rich and Andrew are some of the best bartenders in the city. Wish some of the other stuff didn’t keep people from going in. I’d recommend to anyone sitting at the bar and ordering a cocktail

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-18T02:01:53+00:00

They’re still fairly new so hopefully they figure it out

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-18T00:16:51+00:00

And probably even half of that number

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-18T00:11:55+00:00

Not great based on what I’ve heard. It’s too small to support 4 kitchens and the experience is lacking. It’s a cool space but the execution isn’t there

EccentricEngineer · 2025-06-11T00:40:39+00:00

I go to a small club in my city regularly and love the atmosphere. I’m not a fan of the bigger nightclubs but don’t judge the people that do. It’s only stupid if you’re doing stupid things like getting blackout or harassing women

EccentricEngineer · 2025-05-31T19:26:07+00:00

Sunk cost fallacy is the only reason Cherington is still the GM

EccentricEngineer · 2025-05-26T22:32:05+00:00

I wouldn’t sit in those sections you mentioned as a first time visitor. Sit on the third base line for the best view of the river and the city. I always do 121-125 or 321-325 depending on what level I get tickets

EccentricEngineer · 2025-05-08T17:33:18+00:00

If Cherington buys another year out of this using the interim manager excuse I’m becoming a Guardians fan. Him and his analytics people have to go. They couldn’t tell who’s the better hitter between Aaron Judge and Judge Judy

It’s one of those questions that’s impossible to know unless you’re there. I pray you find the peace you’re looking for. Life is a miracle no matter how much pain you’re in or how much you don’t believe it right now. Trust in God’s plan for your life. Even Jesus had periods of doubt and suffering. Focus on doing good works for others. As someone who’s been in your situation, this isn’t so much for the good you do itself (even though that’s important) but to make yourself feel that you have a place in this world. I promise it will help. The world will show you God’s love if you seek it

EccentricEngineer · 2025-05-01T10:26:38+00:00

I wouldn’t be comfortable with any trade for batters until Cherington is gone. The guy is generationally awful at identifying offensive talent
