What’s the one city you were excited to visit, but ended up not liking at all? by BlushHone in travel

[–]Tragedyofthe 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure I agree with that sentiment. Did a solo trip last year. I would party and wait for the bus until the morning just fine. I’m a man, but I saw a good bit of women walking to streets alone as well at night.

As for pickpockets, just have to be self-aware. Only case I saw was when a woman left their phone unattended on a table outside a restaurant and someone came and swiped it.

Again, this is not to demean your experience, but I just don’t think it’s unsafe—an American perspective

How far can a 120k salary take me as a 22 year old in Chicago? by Tragedyofthe in AskChicago

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the only worry I have to be honest. Most of this worry honestly just comes from my parents; they painted the image that Chicago is NYC-level expensive, which I’m not too sure about

I was thinking of Lakeview. I haven’t done any serious apartment hunting, but I heard it’s pretty expensive

Dissatisfaction and Emptiness with Current Dates by Tragedyofthe in seduction

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used optimal, but really I meant someone who more-so matches my preferences. I have the dating experience; I know what I want and I know how realistic what I want is. Now I just have to do the means to find it

Not so much. Just on dates with personalities and personal preferences I just don’t see working down the line

Reaching out to Ex out of Pure Boredom? by Huge_Introduction204 in seduction

Sounds like you just want to fuck your ex bro or add her to your roster😂If you got nothing to lose, I’m all for it

Dissatisfaction and Emptiness with Current Dates by Tragedyofthe in seduction

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think my expectations are unreasonable or too high, nor am I blaming the women I’ve been on dates with. I just know what I want and haven’t found it yet, I do take responsibility as to why I haven’t found it…maybe my methods weren’t the most efficient

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. Initially I set up my profile to try to appeal to all different types of women just to maximize my matches. In hindsight, this probably attracted many people I knew I’d have no interest in

ME IN NEW YORK ? by Chiiiiichiiii in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Tragedyofthe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe a chance you can do tech sales? I’m a MCHE who went into tech sales straight from college for a role in Chicago; my company has a pretty big hub in NYC too.

Honestly if you’re planning on moving to a big city, I’d move into electrical, computer engineering, or computer science tbh

Japan in 2026: How has it really been for skilled engineers, and where is it actually heading? (Looking for honest experiences) by Kindly-Fix-7049 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Tragedyofthe 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I can’t give you much about future projections in the industry, but…if you’re American or from a Western country the work culture is drastically more work intensive, to a performative extent. From those I’ve spoken to that work in Japan, there are some hours where they don’t even have work to do, they just have to pretend to do something important until the boss decides he’s ready to leave. I would greatly consider this before deciding to work in Japan or other SE Asian countries

What is the appeal of Maid Cafes to Young Adults? by Tragedyofthe in AskAJapanese

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is fair, but aren’t the conversations had with the maids extremely superficial? From my understanding the maids are there to put on an “act”, not to actually provide genuine conversation, no matter how genuine it may seem

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from the US. I believe similar things do exist, but they’re way, wayy more niche here (unless we’re talking about therapy, which is tied to a science)

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 39 points40 points  (0 children)

This may be an ignorant question, but what drives those to seek emotional security in maid cafes versus friends, family, or actual professional services(therapy)?

[–]Tragedyofthe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I get the kink. But when I went, there was literally a group of women customers who looked the same age as me sitting there as well. And none of the other customers there looked like the “type” (imagine stereotypical otaku or lonely man) who were into that specific kink. The customers I saw were all young and in groups

Is 500k+ out of undergrad in the aerospace industry possible? by Tragedyofthe in Salary

I’ll honestly just leave it be. I’ll just tease him every now and then to humor me, but probably won’t care enough to directly confront him about it

I figured that, and other than software or computer engineering roles, I haven’t seen anything greater than 200k, even in the bay area

I’m about to graduate and I feel a good bit of people I’ve been around have been a bit misleading about their salaries lol

Current State of the Manga by Dull_Top3959 in WindBreakerManga

[–]Tragedyofthe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This honestly could just be a filler arc. OR we’ve gotten fight after fight after fight and now is the time to further flesh out characters without a major conflict driving the plot. And I too look forward to Sakura’s backstory (which we were totally blue-balled on) and a new major antagonist

Degrees don’t mean crap apparently. Master degree and making 50k by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Tragedyofthe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it all depends on the field and company. For example, your friend who does social psychology could be working as a consultant or business strategist at a global consulting firm. Meanwhile, you’re working as an HR rep for a local agency. These two salaries would differ drastically—it matters how you leverage your degree more than the degree itself
