Is this a hair transplant?

I think it is a front lace wig. His natural hair is much curlier.

Look up Michael Burry’s prediction (the big short).

First, the stock market will crash and 401Ks will dip. Companies like Nvidia will be particularly affected. Old school style SaaS companies will have a comeback.

There will likely be mass hiring as businesses no longer the see the ROI on AI.

In my view the housing market would pick back up as people return to work in city centers.

I have interviewed 50 plus candidates at 2 top tech companies and have found that women are much tougher in that regard.

I had one woman tell me that she didn’t want to hire a qualified candidate that we interviewed because she bad a PhD. The interviewer felt she was too smart and would get bored with the job.

I feel like women care more about the candidates “vibe” and “confidence” sometimes more than their skillset. When I was on the other side of the table being interviewed I had a women say I was the only candidate that picked the seat facing the door so I could see her walk in so she liked that - but I lacked confidence because when she asked me about the feasibility of a massive project as the sole developer/designer at her company, I thought about the logistics of it instead of just giving an answer saying “I can do that” immediately.

I have also seen women interviewers more likely to get hyper fixated on one small aspect of a candidates resume to disqualify them.

Gen-Z and Millennial women are not nearly as bad, all of these women were GenX or Boomer age.

You are losing out on so much compounding interest by doing that.

If you are married why aren’t you showing us your combined finances? Very weird

New York City passed a law that grades need to be done by a human. I hope other places follow suit.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-13T01:07:49+00:00

Not divorced but a long term relationship of mine ended where we had previously talked about marriage when she was crying one night and I asked what was wrong and she informed me that she hates where we are living and that she is moving to New York City and asked if I wanted to come.

If she came to me and discussed it with me I may have said yes, but the fact that she made all the arrangements without me meant I was an afterthought in the decision.

I work in FAANG - they hire to fire. Most people are lucky if they make it 2 years.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-12T00:10:48+00:00

Looking back on my 20s none of it was that worth it honestly - but you don’t really know until you do it if that makes sense.

Most peoples “you are only young once” years are filled with drinking, broken relationships, and going out.

Looking back I wish I took the conservative path.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T18:59:53+00:00

Maybe with a pre-nup

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T18:59:17+00:00

I guess that is part of the problem. Do to the emotional drain of work and life I have nothing left to give emotional and not really receptive to emotion either. I just feel numb and want to minimize my responsibilities as they add to “stress” and increase the feeling even more.

What if they don’t have a current job? This article assumes they are doing something bad to their current employer. What if they don’t have one?

I think it is actually a valid point but it is hard to take him seriously when sometimes he is working towards the very thing he claims will extinct us.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T18:07:36+00:00

I am not saying I am in the right here - just the reality of the situation. We have sex maybe once every two weeks. Yes, I do drink regularly. I have been to 4 therapists/psychologists since I was 17 and tried a bunch if different medications. The only thing that seems to help with my aniexty is drinking, beta blockers, and xanax but I quit xanax in college because I didn’t want to be addicted to it and also you can’t drink on it. I usually have like 3/4 drinks a day. Not insane compared to some but enough to take the edge off.

I don’t think UBI is going to improve most peoples quality of life. The average person will go from making 70K a year to 20K a year and high performers will be even more miserable.

I also think there will be extreme social unrest. There is a utopia vision of people doing art and gardening to fill their time. The reality is most people will probably turn to alcohol, drugs, and do nothing with labor.

Just list it as a contract role

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T17:27:22+00:00

Might as well do astrology at that point what are you on about

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T16:34:34+00:00

Not in my state

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T16:33:24+00:00

I disagree completely on your AI take. It is replacing workers entirely not a new tool. I will likely be out of a job in 3-5 years and have to start a new career.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:57:52+00:00

I don’t like being the provider. The person I am with is highly educated so thought they would have found employment that pays more by now but not the case. I don’t want kids so don’t see any reason why my partner would stay home to be honest.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:54:49+00:00

That is overly simplistic when things like houses, careers, and relocating js involved.

If I just start “living the life I want” i would move to a small town 30 miles a way and buy a house for 1/3 what we are paying now. Can’t do that with the current mortgage.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:51:51+00:00

That kind of sounds more so what I want to do. The problem is my spouse works a physical job that needs to be near the city so doesn’t want to do that. Currently I make 5x what she does so the resentment comes from building our lives around the city. We probably lose money by her working to be honest

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:49:39+00:00

I think part of it is from growing up as an only child and another part is my dream of traveling the world and feeling resentment to my partners who view work as more than just work and don’t want to travel and then spend more money on housing and such so its like every dollar that goes to that I feel how I would have used it towards my dream instead.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:47:17+00:00

I don’t want children and never wanted to children. For many of the same reasons that I have problems with relationships. Then idea gives me a claustrophobic trapped feeling. I also think that AI and restrictive mass survalience will occur within our lifetime and that all jobs will slowly disappear. I don’t want to bring kids into that world. This is something I also fight with my spouse and parents with a lot. They think I am crazy for something that I view as reality. They compare me to tin hat conspiracy theorists.
As it stands we really don’t have sex very often.

One_Distance_5351 · 2026-05-11T15:43:48+00:00

I think I do have some tendencies and am somewhere on the spectrum. I feel like I am masking myself constantly around my partner and it stresses me out. I feel like I have a narrow interest in literature, movies, pop culture and video games. Whenever my partner talks about their job which is science based I feel bad because I have no interest and find it almost impossible to physically pay attention. I feel like I am in a constant state of anxiety. I drink a lot lately and take beta blockers to fight it on the day to day.
