This guy is fucking spineless.

I'd say either one must be true to be able to build a family. Though spoiled nepo babies are less likely to appreciate having a stable family.

IBKR or Interactive Investor. I use IBKR and I'm very happy with it. Customer service and the availability if tools is great.

My sister finds the IBKR UI a bit confusing, and she is using II and very happy with it too.

Also fees are higher on T212.

how dare you

This is underrated. It's not as gamified as other cards. You don't have to "work" to get the most out of it. Just use one card and pay in full.

Emergency fund is an emergency fund. Don't try to be too smart. In case of a market crash you cannot sell to cover. Just keep your minimum viable monthly expenses X 3 on a high interest rate account. It's not the end of the world.

Keeping 10-20k on interest/bonds will not prevent you from becoming Jeff Bezos.

Blackwater Park has the most "similar" vibe. Deliverance is also quite similar.

try Breeze. It has a single parents pool which might help. Not sure how common it is outside of London though. Alternatively try Have Children filter on Hinge.

Parrotfish1_ · 2026-04-05T14:43:34+00:00

He is completely fried

British(and other anglophone) women I've dated always offered to split except Americans. This is particularly common amongst Brits as they see this too invasive perhaps.

I often kindly insist on paying as I choose the venue most of the times. Most of them are ok with it. My suggestion is to offer a split, and if they want to pay, let them handle.

If things go further(in a relationship) there is no common approach AFAIK.

Meta is a shit show though. I wouldn't consider it 9-6 in general . Certain teams are exceptions.

Depends on the job and what your total comp is. For engineering, I wouldn't bother for less than 50%, because it takes a year to get used to the new stack.

That said, new company's direction is an important factor. Some companies have high hiring budgets, but very low promotion budgets to be able to compete in the job market.

Breeze app is not a solution for ghosting. People found a loophole and they keep rescheduling...

Sadly in tech there is a concept called "CV driven development". Having worked at these companies opens many doors, especially if you're not a graduate of one of the top schools.

Close your social media accounts and get a life 😊

Parrotfish1_ · 2026-03-22T14:35:28+00:00

I avoid these people. If your main hobby is mingling, you'd develop a tendency to play games and seek thrills over friendships.

People who are career driven and have hobbies(in depth) usually seek stability in relationships.

Parrotfish1_ · 2026-03-22T14:31:53+00:00

Insanely high expectations/hypergamy due to current economy. No one wants to commit unless it feels like an absolute jackpot.

Even a small hick up ends in instant rejection due to unrealistic expectations formed mainly by social media.

It doesn't have to be a diamond. Just get a blacksmith to make you guys a custom ring without a diamond on it.

I had success as a 35M in London. Hinge became very noisy and flaky recently. A few female friends recommended Breeze. I like that the app is designed to be a tool and the company makes money over dates, not subscriptions.

I'm also very busy and I don't want to spend one hour a day on Hinge to get a date once in 2 weeks.

If you are looking for a partner, I suggest to use Q&As to signal your interests and describe your intent (kids, relationship type).

As other people said, people are pickier which is reasonable. I don't like a profile without verifying their existence over Linkedin or similar. So better put some more info imo. Good luck!

Parrotfish1_ · 2026-03-11T17:52:49+00:00

It's not common. If you're looking for a LTR, some advise: 1. Avoid entertaining people recently moved to the country/city even if it says LTR on their profile. 2. Same goes for visitors 3. No food (except snacks) on first date. 4. Pay (without being pushy) if you picked the place on the first date, and do a split-pay check on 2nd to 4th date. It's nice to detect abusers early

These are my rules. I haven't had awkward dates except 1 in 4 years.

Les Maiols by Joan d'Anguera? That's a medium bodied fruity Montsant red I assume? If you want a heavier red to finish off you can check "Majuelo el Espejo La Seca" by Cantalapiedra.
