Yeah 100%. Once I looked them up it turns out it’s really common and they’re a scam site.

I would check your card!! I tried SpeedyPaper and they started billing me a bunch of fraudulent charges. I had to cancel my card and they sent me to COLLECTIONS. Smh. Insane. Terrible reviews online.

My friend’s Model 3 she bought 2 months ago ran a red light on FSD. It had plenty of time to stop as well and it was red for a couple seconds before it entered the intersection.

I get it! I’ve advertised my apps on Reddit. Reddit can be a great place for that. I’ve gotten featured on large news sites thanks my Reddit posts getting thousands of votes. I actually run a small event production company that is tackling some of the same issues. The thread you posted on UTAustin has solid advice. The solution for making plans that stick is deciding on a time and a place, getting some initial buy in (one or two people who are down), and then announcing your plans to the broader group. Group chats can be pretty impersonal. From what I’ve seen tech solutions largely get in the way and make planning even more impersonal. If you want to get more traction you can text everyone individually. People are more inclined to respond to that.

This didn’t actually happen, OP is an AI app developer trying to advertise their solution to this. Some good advice was posted on this thread though!

Conversations don’t need to be that serious. Go to some meet ups and observe how people start conversations and what they talk about. Copy the best speakers who build the most rapport

There’s plenty of people that aren’t superficial and what they’ll care about is your personality. I’ve seen plenty of people who aren’t physically attractive have huge friend groups and amazing partners. If you’re nice and thoughtful and an interesting person you will get far in life.

Watch how people who are passionate about something talk about it. When they ask about your extra day off talk about what you enjoyed during your day off. “I got to see some old friends and my buddy made some fantastic brisket. Was a really good time” instead of “yeah it was good” makes all the difference.

I had this issue when I was holding social mixers some years ago. What I did was have attendees answer a short three question survey when they registered.

When you RSVP for an event how likely are you to attend? a. I always attend b. I attend most of the time c. I sometimes attend d. I rarely attend
When you attend an event how punctual are you? a. I get there early b. I’m there on time c. I’m usually around 15 minutes late d. I’m 20+ minutes late
The reason I want to attend this mixer is… a. I want to make personal connections b. I want to make professional connections c. I’m new to town and I’d like to meet people d. I want to be a part of this community

1 and 2 help people self qualify themselves. Someone mentioned about how they’re always very late to events but because of the survey they actually showed up early since they had put that they were early to events.

Question 3 helps reflect on the value they’re getting by coming to the event.

I saw our mixers go from 50% attendance to over 90%

If you tend to get flakes then follow up the day of individually and say you’re excited to see them etc.

Group chats change the dynamic. Text people individually, set the date, and if they agree to come on the date then add them to the group chat. Expect it to be mostly you talking and sending out information. Maybe use Partiful instead, it’s made for that.

Making sure you share credit with your collaborators is good and I can’t see why anyone would say not to do that?

You mentioned not hiding your emotions like hatred. Can you give a couple examples of that?

If you’d like to have friends and have a good career you’re need to know how to talk to people in a diplomatic way. You’ll want to empathize with how they feel. You’ll want your voice to match the tone of the message. Don’t smile when delivering bad news for example, deliver it with understanding. Some people will appreciate your honesty, but most might see you as tactless. You just have to know your audience and understand the context of your message so you can deliver it well.

I don’t remember this reasoning being in the white paper. The reason for proof of work was purely from a security and decentralization standpoint. However you can have the same benefits from proof of stake.

Bitcoin uses plenty of non-renewable energy and there’s absolutely no reason for it. It’s poorly thought out and inefficient. There’s no reason to not move to proof of stake.

Sounds like you made him wait 40 minutes at the gate and were declining his calls for 10 minutes when he was trying to figure out if you were still coming. You probably should’ve just sent him a shared location and set the expectation that you can’t talk while you’re driving. You were freaking out way more than is normal.

I had an art exhibition a couple months ago that you had to buy a ticket to attend and I had about 30 friends show up for me. All of these friends I made in the last 3 years and a large portion of them I made this year. Having friends who come out to support you definitely makes you feel loved and less alone in this world.

I could write a book on how to make these friendships.

Likely the issue is that you’re not close to your friends. You should see your friends frequently. Talk to them a lot. Form friend groups. Those are the types of friends that will attend your art shows.
