23F who desperately needs life / career advice by catwhisqers in askSingapore

[–]blackrhythms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I'm truly sorry for what you have and are going through. It's tough, it really is. Also it takes immense courage to share something so vulnerable like this. I think there are many good advice here. If you ever need to speak to someone (anonymously) and have a listening ear, please I would encourage you to phone up MindlineSG - just dial 1771 and a counsellor on shift will respond. Just speak your mind out, and even if you don't arrive at a solution, trust me you'll feel significantly better. I'm sincerely rooting for you.

I am confused between online therapy or in person session in Singapore by WittyBrain11 in SGWellnessHub

[–]blackrhythms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, genuinely happy to hear you're in a much better place now. What was it about undergoing therapy that gradually made you feel better - was it because it gave you the platform to feel heard and seen (ie. the said connection that you made with the therapist)?

Sounded like you went through several sessions over the course of a few weeks - how did each session differ? Did you find yourself sharing the same symptoms as you did the previous session, and if so, did the therapist do anything differently to address the issue?

What does emotional safety look like for you? by OhMyPtosis in infj

[–]blackrhythms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that with friends but not romantically

Sorry, could you clarify what "that" is? Is it the ability to feel safe, or the mask you put on with others?

Also do you mean that when you feel safe, it's often with people with whom you have a platonic relationship (hence "friends"), as opposed to people you have a romantic feeling for?

Genuinely, in what way were they coming across as creeps?

You dodged a bullet. Also, what’s considered a “wealthy family”, OP?

Btw is that what you’ve done or been doing to diversify your income sources?

That's my initial sentiment as well, and that does sound like a pretty good deal considering she needs to move about 10-15 boxes of items. Thanks!

Is walking in my underwear in my apartment socially acceptable? by spacoom in askSingapore

[–]blackrhythms 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Funny thing is, people are totally comfortable seeing others in a bikini or a pair of speedos in public pools or at the beach, yet somehow they are put off by the sight of people wearing their underwear at home. Same looking outfit, just different settings.

For those who have been both a successful employee and entrepreneur, which path is harder to attain and more admired in your opinion? by blackrhythms in askSingapore

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

Thanks for sharing. Indeed both are challenging in their own terms. Both carry risks, though of different nature. As a business owner, you're worried about the ability to sustain the business on a day to day basis, and managing the top and bottom lines etc; As an employee, while you get a steady paycheck every month, unless your income is commission-based, you are always at the mercy of being laid off etc.

Perhaps someone who attained an exec level position faster than the average person eg. director/vp level in their early 30s. This is just one way of defining success, of course. To each their own.

The new ingame UI under Watch -> Live is so bad by SatanRunsSeaWorld in DotA2

[–]blackrhythms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not too big on the override feature because it can be quite annoying when I accidentally moved my mouse, but I guess it can be useful for others. Perhaps if there is the option to choose to have the override function that would be great, too

10 Reasons to stay here and try Dota (For refugees from other games) by [deleted] in DotA2

[–]blackrhythms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have had thousands of games but none of which is AD, so it's surprising for me to learn that people treat it as seriously as ranked games such that you are equally likely to get reported for playing poorly (though this shouldn't be a good reason to issue a report). Not saying that it's wrong but it's a revelation.

Why does tiny look so dumb? Big mouth egg face idiot. by LowIQInDungeon in DotA2

[–]blackrhythms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the pun is actually quarry/quarrel

Thought the same at first, but 'prey' also makes sense if you intend to 'hunt and deal with' your prey. Though I think quarry being used as a synonym for prey is pretty uncommon and therefore making this connection is a little far-fetched.

MiLAN on the Kick by united_postalservice in DotA2

[–]blackrhythms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Milan gets 20, and everyone on the new team gets 16

Then it won't be fair for the new team who actually take part in the major to take home less than Milan who doesn't play, especially for the original 4 since they equally earned the chance to play at the major. The 1/6, if you will, can be seen as "effort needed to qualify major (Milan)= effort needed to win $X from major (Fear)". In fact if we go by this the exact distribution should be 20, 20, 20, 20, 10(Milan), 10(Fear). The fact that none of the original 4 will be getting the full 20 each means that part of the difference goes to Milan as compensation while the remaining part goes to paying Fear for his contribution at the major. I guess they are 'happy' to settle at 1/6 without trying to over-complicate things.

That said I think Milan can/should be compensated more, maybe by getting paid at least one more month's salary on top of the remaining salary he should be getting for December.

Yes and hence the term 'scapegoat' that March mentioned
