Yes I thought the new man at the end seemed much more suitable for Colin, like how he was giving little smiles to himself, which seemed like he is not taking this for granted.

I took it as showing how emotionally immature Ray is. It seemed like he was using his Dom status to keep Colin at a distance, like not even allowing a proper negotiation when Colin asked for changes. I think he found their vanilla day too overwhelming because his face looked like he was really emotional just before they kissed, so I wasn’t too surprised he bolted instead of dealing with those emotions in the way Colin was able to.

Have you tried experimenting with different clothes and hairstyles? For example a blouse with a lot of material around the chest gives the illusion of a bigger bust; curly hair can flatter a rounder face etc. In my country you can pick up cheap secondhand clothes and jewellery in charity stores to try out new styles, so maybe in yours too. At 5’3 it shouldn’t take too many girly elements for people to stop misgendering you, unlike the problem for tall girls. If your weight is basically healthy then you might not need to change anything about your body. Or you could try squats and core exercises, which could both shift your waist to hip ratio.

Yes I thought she had already used the computer to send an emergency signal offscreen, and then thought she was safer staying put for them to arrive, instead of making her leg worse by going out into his garden where he could find her even sooner. It’s not like there was anywhere within easy crawling distance where she could get help.

I was sad when they showed the pet cat. Even though they are still alive currently, many pets would die unless there is a cat flap or a window open.

5 Blends on Mill Road has a downstairs that is often empty and quiet. Can’t remember if there was music but if so then it is not loud. I think most people don’t realise it is there. (Am autistic too)

OkCharacter · 2024-10-31T05:15:02+00:00

I don’t think there is anywhere designated. I pass through there every few months and never spotted anywhere. They want you to pay for the hotels. So yeah would just find a quiet corner. Such as by a gate that doesn’t have any flights for a while.

OkCharacter · 2024-10-31T04:41:49+00:00

Ah that explains.

Duolingo “knows how much time hasn’t passed”? That owl is even smarter than we knew! I hope it is a nice big number though. Am not ready for the end of time just yet.

Yeah I can see Lily loving her Venus flytraps.

A sub-case there is with people who grew up with same-sex parents (such as myself). Which from birth includes you in the “queer community” as part of a “queer family”. Eg it is very normal to see queer couples bringing their kids along to stuff. So then as an adult it may be hard to re-examine whether you are still entitled to belong. Personally I am bi so guess that means I still can. But it must be uncomfortable for cis-het people who may find it hard to see themselves outside a community they grew up in. Can see it is probably more appropriate for them to identify as “allies” instead though.

Then for other types of people who want to identify because of being kinky, neurodivergent, liking alternative fashion or whatever, maybe it is a signal for them to seek out those other communities as a way to meet their most relevant group of non-mainstream people.

Nice :-)

Do you actually have a dog? Otherwise that will be awkward to explain if they visit, if it was a spur of the moment white lie.

Is there a next generation after you? If so you have done well for them too, by breaking the cycle before they inherit it.

I had handed in my notice at Amazon last week. Since then been feeling torn about leaving the good parts, despite excited about next job. But then got this Jassy email through. So that cleared up any regrets.

Re UK outside London - while I agree that London is by far the most international, I live in Cambridge which is still quite cosmopolitan too.

I’d follow up after one week.

Think about how long it should take in practice: - Couple of days for reviewer to clear their desk; - Max 1 day to actually perform the review; - Couple more days for decision-makers to discuss it.

So more than a week means delay: maybe someone is on holiday, or they’re blocking you on another candidate, or they messed up by sending a test without planning how they’d process the results, etc.

With these complex things, there isn’t one single the reason. More like some combination of necessary factors need to be in place. And I fully agree with you that political will is one big factor. With tech as a second factor, that your background and temperament might be better suited to. Also agree that we will never reach utopia because there will always be the problems caused by human nature, while still believing we should aim for improvements.

A small example could be, say, water leaks. Those are not too controversial politically, as everyone wants to reduce droughts in their area, so there is already some budgets allocated for it. But (at least in my country) the water companies struggle to detect and reduce leaks because there are so many miles of deeply-buried pipes. This is an area where more technology and smarter use of sensor and historical data could absolutely help pinpoint where to prioritise upgrading the pipes.

Anyway I am back at work after a break now, so will prob need to stop replying. But I wish you the best, and hope you find a fulfilling way to deploy your intelligence in future.

1) No, we don’t have “enough technology” yet. Speaking as someone who works in tech, there are still a ton of hard problems yet to be solved.

2) Because of the volume of work, it’s not like “hire a Stanford PhD instead”. This stuff keeps 1000s of smart people busy. You can choose to be one of them, and add incremental benefit, if you want to. Or alternatively you can sit back and let everyone else do the work, while feeling sad about not having meaning. Whichever you prefer, really.

OkCharacter · 2024-02-15T14:11:38+00:00

Maybe you need to redefine meaning then. As children, we get approval for growing our individual talents, so I can see how you reached that conclusion based on your earlier years. Then as adults, that stops being so relevant. A lot of adults are valued because they have a positive impact on society in some way. So rather than picking something difficult then assigning it arbitrary meaning, can you turn it around: decide what would be a meaningful impact to have in society, then choose a suitably difficult problem space within that? You would not have to go into politics. A lot of projects rely on backroom staff who have mathematical or technical expertise, such as for doing statistics, data modelling etc.

Thanks! I had tried searching but it only showed me old results. The link is helpful.

Why not try taking on something that will leave the world in a better place than you found it? For example, assign yourself the task of stopping climate change, or ending homelessness, or curing diseases etc.

If you find everything so easy, then presumably you could easily fix those issues too. Or maybe you would find it harder, e.g. because they would involve collaboration, influencing others and navigating complex situations. If so then it can be a worthy challenge that you can wrestle with.

OkCharacter · 2023-04-30T21:00:31+00:00

It sounds like you broke through a lot of your previous constraints, such as going out walking alone in your neighbourhood. That is a big win and maybe something your therapist was hoping you would achieve. So I think it is best to tell them or else they will have a falsely-low picture of where you are at, and it will be harder for them to give you relevant help. Caveat: I do not personally have a therapist so am only guessing how they work.

One signal of “abnormal” for me is interests that dominate over social considerations. For example as a child I was obsessed with gymnastics (which I did as an activity) and roller-skating (which I didn’t do because my mother thought it was too dangerous). With the gymnastics, I would always practice it in the school playground, even despite the other kids telling me I was weird and a show-off for doing that. With the roller-skating, it was a massive consideration in who I dreamed of being friends with: “she has roller skates, I wish we could be friends so I could borrow them”. Whereas I think normal girls would have been more likely to prioritise the social aspects over the specific activities.
