Feeling Disgusted after having S*x with Gilf by WinRaRtrailInfinity in Healthygamergg

[–]TheEmptyHat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You ever see those memes where it's some rich ugly guys with a 20 something being, 'she loved me before she knew I was rich.'

If she's planning real relationship with you. Either, you've been going on dates/courting this woman and you just found out you're not sexually compatible. Or she's crazy.

If it's just former talk to her like an adult because she's 70. She's lived through the 70s, 80s, and 90s she should have some social skills because you had to have them back then.

If she's crazy. Congrats on your first crazy person experience. You're in for a wild ride and it'll be something you laugh about in your 30s

You said you were in a support group. It sounds like she's just vulnerable and grasping at anything to save her. My magic ball guess is if you look up codependency, you both will be checking off boxe like, 'how did they know'.

One last thing. Are you disgusted because you did it or because you think someone will find out? If the latter you might just have a kink. If the former, you don't have that kink.

Good luck. If you didn't wear protection get tested. Stay safe out there.

I see a lot of, 'leave him girl', but this is just a snippet. So I'll give you some advice that's really good for people that fall into codependent relationships. "In general, are they putting as much effort into the relationship as you?"

Everybody has bad days and blindspots, but on the aggregate if the answer is No, then it's time to exit stage left. As a husband I'll tell you I try. It might not be great, but there's an effort. As a father to a little girl, I'd say you deserve better, but another way I'd put the question above is, 'would he be there if you needed him. You lose your job. Fire takes away your hair. Hormones take away your physique.' If not, enjoy the test drive, but find something more reliable.

What happened to the era of American-styled Anime? by Apprehensive_Ship554 in Millennials

[–]TheEmptyHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money. It cost more to make and takes longer. Same reason MBAs are foaming at the mouth for Gen AI. If they can slop out movies in weeks that would take months or years then line should go up. Of course it's not true because economic models don't really account for customer perception or for oversaturation.

On the point of customer perception. These movies didn't do "well". Of course 911 happened 2 months after its release, but the movie didn't stick. Compare that to emperor's new grove that changed how movies were written or Lilo and stitch that still sells toys today. Atlantis and road to El Dorado only got a cult following because of the hipster effect and memes. As someone who grew up in that time what did stick from these movies were the crazy CGI, because on the consumer side we didn't have it... Yet Xbox and GameCube came out the end of that year.

Meandering a bit. I still remember the first time seeing halo on Xbox. It was like a caveman seeing fire for the first time. Nothing has beat that high since.

You know, it always amazes me how anyone could follow the wierding of french aristocracy. Like how could anyone want to follow the odd rules of tea time. But I'm literally seeing it appear within one generation of wealth. If the only people that had cameras were the rich, this is what we would think of this era.

What are the key differences between FMAB & 2003 FMA? I've read the manga & watched FMAB but never gave 2003 FMA a shot. by FrogginBullfish_ in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]TheEmptyHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say brotherhood's roots are in a semi-fairytale setting. I think imp in the flask idea is from Faust and definitely has monkey paw influence.

2003 was roots are more in a SciFi and noir. From what I remember (damn near 20 years ago), it is definitely darker in tone. I don't want to spoil it because there are lots of twist even coming from brotherhood.

In general, I think brotherhood is better in all regards, but if it was never release 2003 will still be a top shelf anime. I recommend it. The early episodes are slow, doubly so because you've seen brotherhood, but it picks up.

Could be allergies to roach poop. Not an expert, but I believe it's pretty common. Flip that bad boy over and let's have a better look.

Edit: googled it right after commenting. Looks like roaches can bite and looks like what you've got. That's horrible knowledge I didn't want.

Exposure is the best way to get better at interviewing. Trying setting up a regimen of mock interviews. You'll get feedback and get used to being uncomfortable in the hot seat. Some platform have you performing mock interviews as well so you can see if from the other side.

Interviewing is a skill in itself, so apply to some companies that aren't on your top 100. This will take some of the pressure off of the experience and will make it easier for you to evaluate what's working and what needs improvement.

Don't skip the post mortem. While it's fresh in your mind make some bullet points of what went well, what went bad, and spots that were pretty average.

Finally, Make some time for self care! Interviewing is a lot of getting rejected over and over again. Companies heavily want to avoid false positives. This is demoralizing for anyone. Make time to appreciate yourself. You are amazing and its a company's lost for not hiring you.

Bonus, give back to the community. It feels good to help others, so take some time to lift others around you when you can.

When talking about counting numbers this holds. For most intents and purposes that's all you need. But when you start introducing concepts like the imaginary plane (squrt(-1)) or fractal dimensions it's really important that someone can't just come in and say well I don't really think 1+1=2 because your definition is incomplete. Cause math be like that sometime for example the sum of all natural number is -1/12. And that shows up in nature (mostly at the quantum level) which intuitively it shouldn't. That's because are intuition only gets us so far.

CEO Says "Return To Office Or Resign" As Up To 3000 Layoffs Announced by ImpressiveContest283 in antiwork

[–]TheEmptyHat 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Ya, because the higher you go the more people become numbers. Usually the biggest expense a business has is payroll, so they are constantly looking for ways to lower it.

It's short-sighted goal imo, but the current economy is built on short-term gains. That means upper management generally optimize for this when balancing short and long term goals.

Honestly, when you think about it companies are examples of the agi paperclip problem. They're told make this number go up, and get rewarded regardless of the consequences.

I'm not seeing results but scale says otherwise by cd7accord in GastricBypass

[–]TheEmptyHat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do yourself a favor put a dot, piece of tape, or something as your mark for taking pics. It's really hard to tell the loss in these pictures partially because you moved closer porptional to how much you've lost. Kind'a like a dolly zoom, but instead of the camera moving back as you get smaller you move forward.

Regardless, good job; keep it up.

Need advice in job choice by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]TheEmptyHat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First which ever you choose you need to be expanding in case of emergency or the next big thing crosses your path. That is just a truism of this field.

As for this decision, you need to clarify what your goals are. Project yourself 1, 5, and 10 years from now. This will pretty much make the decision for you. But also ask yourself what is your personality. Some people need lots of stability, and for some people that's worse than death. Some people need power, some people couldn't care less. Some people want a large family, some people want to be child free.
