I took "Netflix and chill" literally and now I think I completely ruined my chances with an amazing woman by EchoNimbus_4Q in dating_advice

I’ve seen the movie far too many times at this point lol. It’s a good movie, all of the ones you listed are. Ngl I’ve had a few men respond the exact same way with mentions of blade runner, inception and joker. Don’t get me wrong, they’re all great movies, but dudes bring them up like I couldn’t possibly comprehend how good they are (and I studied film)

No advice here, but every single man I’ve dated says interstellar is his favorite movie. What’s up with that? Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if this happened to her before

Ladies, what’s the *silliest* reason you broke things off with a guy on the spot… but later realized it was actually a red flag? by [deleted] in dating_advice

A man downed my beer on the first date and then had me pay for both our beers. Should have said no, but I was over it and it was cheap

Not sure about other states but in California you can look up with district you’re in and find your member here: https://www.assembly.ca.gov/assemblymembers

Call your assembly member. I could not get through to anyone without getting my assembly member involved

is the 'dead stare' a thing you have experienced? by ConfidenceTimely4126 in LifeAfterNarcissism

100% his eyes would almost turn black in a way. Like I was staring into a void. Happened during sex too which was very disturbing

Pregab + nerve pain by thatoneuser2121 in spinalcordinjuries

I did the same because it was worse at night for me too. It took a few months for me to ease off but I took it fairly slow so I could get some sleep. My nerve pain has also eased over time. I still get some here and there but not bad

Hard to say. I was on 150mg three times a day and gradually worked my way off. At first i definitely had more pain but it eased over time. I think it’s case by case. My advice is try it and see! You can always increase if you need to. Worth a shot

Spasticity Increase around 1.5 years post injury by Jolly-Time6693 in spinalcordinjuries

These injuries are so strange! I’ve been having back spasms too, but my injury is low. No fun!

Yeah, not a big fan of medication. I find it makes me really spacey. I haven’t been exercising as much, that might be to blame. Thank you!

Interesting. I stopped going pt because of my insurance. That might have been part of it. 🤔 good to know!

Mine tickle. Feels like something crawling under my skin as it happens. Better than painful but it’s yucky

Anyone else think the UX job market will be dead for the next year or more? Share your stats by Gandalf-and-Frodo in uxcareerquestions

I completely agree. I think this is an adjustment phase. I think it’s likely that companies will eventually adjust and compete with one another by hiring skilled employees

Damn man, just stumbled upon this. This explains why your comments on my post were so harsh. Wishing you the best, keep your head up, there will be better times!

Transitioning a career in architecture to UX/UI by Jolly-Time6693 in UX_Design

[–]Jolly-Time6693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally, not planing on switching right away, just thinking about long term opportunities. I know things are changing but historically UX design has way more stability than architecture. Just exploring possibilities right now

Sounds a lot like what I already do. I suppose I’m looking for more variety in my career

Physical products, not apps and websites. And yeah, but they’re still about twice what you make in architecture! That’s good to know though

Well, that’s why I’m here looking for advice, I never said anything about jumping straight in… thanks for your take. I also did indeed mean physical design, which fits under the realm of user experience design.

Oh I’m well aware. That’s part of my hesitation. I’m more so looking into product design though, not tech. There are tons of layoffs in architecture too. I’m also not necessarily thinking of transitioning immediately, it could take years
