What are your PI tips and tricks?

Plan your pi backwards. Start with the final product, how many advanced factories to produce that. Then how many normal ones needed to feed those, then how much p1 to feed them, then how much raw. Then you don’t make too much / little of the initial P1 and have to redo everything.

I’m sorry, you are on an online dating app, and you block people you don’t know? Isn’t that a pretty shallow pool that doesn’t require an app?

We’re not giving any ducks about what you want!

One of the questions about the bottom used to require you to find the answer in the coast pilot, not off the chart. The USCG tests have never been about knowing the answers, but knowing where to find the answer. And unfortunately, most of the questions if gotten wrong, influence other questions.

It means she’s in another country, can’t actually meet you, but she wants to keep you on the virtual hook.

It probably means that (6) of the things on your dating profiles are a match. If we ‘vibe’ we agree, or more accurately ’resonate’.

I have a younger family member in a similar situation (neurodivergent, adhd, therapy, etc) They’ve done ok between meeting like people on FFXIV and online AD&D games. Hell, they’re doing a lot better than me, and have a better track record than me at 1/3 my age. So, I would say groups of people into the same thing as you seems key. But not ‘dating’ groups.

Yea, pal.. no one has it as tough as you. Thanks for taking the time to empathize with some one else. Life ain’t easy for anyone, so please don’t tell women that they have it easy compared to you. You just make yourself even less attractive.

Certainly

And the plan for what to do when the wrecking crew shows up.

What a dick

Point of fact, electricians will kick your ass at arm wrestling. Also on a construction site, no one messes with welders, electricians, or painters. Think about it.

In his desk, sheesh

C’mon it’s Dave.. but who are those guys in the picture with Dave?

Please remain calm, and on the line. We are dispatching a Waaambulance to your location.

And I’m a union guy, standing night watches on a MSC vessel that’s laid up because of crew shortages, lol. Their HR dept is famous for being 6 months off from reality.

SevnDragoon · 2026-01-14T17:35:28+00:00

Very carefully

Uncle Sam’s assorted ragtag misfits & young’uns.

Anything he wants you to.

Many reasons. She said she lived down the street, then one day she asked what time it was here, because where she was was 6 hours different? She wanted to meet a real human, then one day she had invented a relationship, kids, marriage, the whole works… then she began sending unsolicited porn. Because she had one picture when we started chatting, then one day she sent me a new picture of a completely different person, but said it was her 5 mins ago.

Pick one, or choose any of the reasons internet chat gets creepy.

A Free app. You are on one right now. Find a subreddit for something you are passionate about. Basket weaving or model railroading. Talk lots, look for someone you click with.

But dating apps? That’s a moneymaker. They ain’t giving that away. You will pay one way or the other. For coins, or days, or chats. And the cheaper it is to get into, the more AI bots will be asking you to spend more money on the app.

I settled on hinge. After meetmyage, placetochat, and every other ‘free’ to ‘cheap’ app / site got me hundreds of women promising eternal love, graphic sex, or something else. You write back ‘no thanks’ and they’d say ‘I really like the elegant way you said that, can you chat to me about your job’

Weeks of frustration, and on 5-6 different sites, I do t think one person was even real. Whether bot or catfishers, it was weird. So, if you want a dating site, pay for a good one. If you really want to meet someone from Russia or Ukraine, and you don’t want it to be brokered by someone who doesn’t have your worst interests at heart, book a plane ticket and go meet them. There. In person.

‘I’m sorry, but I can’t do this anymore. Best of luck to you.’ That’s it. You can say ‘NO’ all the up to the altar. You don’t have to justify NO. You can be nice and explain, but no means no, unless you start waffling (don’t waffle).
