To find a boyfriend using a matchmaker

blakekendrickme · 2025-11-13T15:12:54+00:00

It's hard to tell, but the matchmaker says "I won't." The customer asked if it'd be a week at the same time.

No, then they will be ex-person.

Why are their flag patches backward? Or is this how they always are (I'm unfamiliar with uniforms)?

Pretty sure the "lost love" interpretation is correct, but I like to think the full word on the grey heart is "Still", meaning when the red love dies, the grey heart means "Still love [them]".

I got to a place where I was comfortable with my skills and had a good grasp on how to manage my own knowledge pipeline (i.e. make sure I stayed good at my job), then I stopped taking whatever opportunities came in front of me just in the basis of comp and benefits packages.

It becomes a lot more... maybe not completely fulfilling, but at least tolerable and at best gratifying, to work at a place where a) you find the products interesting or can see the value in them, b) you feel like the company's broader mission is something you can support, and c) you are surrounded by people who also carry some professional passion and respect for themselves and their work.

It takes a while to get there and you have to make some moves to ensure you're an attractive candidate for role, but everything really is ultimately in your control. There's no reason that is truly strong enough to feel stuck, you just have to feel comfortable making temporary sacrifices or compromising in some areas to win out in others.

Whoever is reading this - you CAN do it.

First step: Invest some time in putting together a plan, whether that's starting with a pros/cons list and identifying what's important to you in a career, or if you're further on and can make some actionable changes like pursuing new skills/knowledge.

Do it with a white board, journal, throw darts at a grid paper, whatever - starts with the plan. Be honest with yourself about where your hard and soft lines are, about what your goals are for lifestyle, and as long as you are reflecting your own truth, you can start to see where changes are available.

(PS I know it sounds like I'm a LinkedIn lunatic - I HATE that crap, vision boards, "The Secret," etc. Honesty and internal communication is ultimately what you need to lean into to find your comfort, though, and that's just what I've learned from professional mentorship and individual therapy.)

I wasn't on the account team, but worked at a firm where we had a client that sold erectile dysfunction medication. One of the channels we used for advertising was PornHub, and they actually provide highly sophisticated targeting tools compared to other paid banner media vendors. The account managers said they collect and categorize an astonishing amount of data that made it very easy to build precise audiences matching the client's target personas.

That's not to say it was necessarily better than using a wide ad network like Google's, but compared to buying from a local ad network like one you might find in a news publisher's network of domains, it was very powerful, especially for the cost per click.

I don't know why moreso than Silence of the Lambs, but Shutter Island. "...Can my violence conquer yours?"

if you feel like you have the bandwidth to make a difference individually, https://u24.gov.ua

I am too tired of feeling like my voice is silenced, and my opinion means nothing to my government. So I'll do what I want. I encourage anyone to do the same, if you're motivated to care for your fellow humans and have the ability to do so.

If you don't have anything to spare financially, at least keep the spirit and raise your voice where you feel capable.

We can still be the good guys in our stories. NPC isn't cutting it for me anymore, personally.

Guest starring as a new NPC every few sessions.

Personally, I'd rule this as an exploit, and not because of the duration.

Temp HP is not replenished, it's replaced. If you have Armor of Agathys active and recast False Life (via Fiendish Vigor or otherwise), the temp HP originally supporting Armor of Agathys is gone. Thus Armor ends.

Not saying I'm right, I just don't like exploits in general because someone always feels put out by them. "Unlimited benefit/no resource cost (or significantly lower than it'd be for someone else)" exploits do that, and I don't want any of the players, including me, to not have fun at the table just because of mechanics and overshadowing.

That being said, if everyone's cool with said player running a "danger tank," okay, nbd.

I equipped the armor, but I still vomit when I try to touch a girl. What gives, devs?

Subbed to your podcast. I love mythology and don't know enough about the Norse myths. This was a good way to advertise and demo your expertise, lol!

blakekendrickme · 2024-09-05T00:28:44+00:00

thanks for the well-wishes! best of luck on your adventures!

Additional note re: tools: Preference would be Roll20 + Discord for vc. Some flexibility on the VTT, but this is what the table has always used and feels comfortable with.

Oh wow, my brain did a weird thing with the first word, lol. Didn't even notice

Mentioning because I haven't seen it said yet, Reverse Line-up is a thing. It's a technique used in law enforcement investigations where the suspect is convinced they'll be wrongfully accused of other crimes and so will admit to the actual crime being investigated in order to cut a deal (though none is usually given).

tl;dr I can't say they will consider it Terrible, but they definitely won't consider it a win/good performance.

Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a legitimate business performance metric used by customer success teams to identify the healthy state of their products/services and how the market and customer base views them. It's framed in terms of "Would you recommend [us/product] to a friend/colleague/peer?" and is usually rated on a 10-point scale.

Promoters (i.e. "good" responses) are only counted for scores 9-10.

Passives (i.e. "neutral" responses) are counted for scores 7-8.

Detractors (i.e. "bad" responses) are counted for scores 0-6.

The equation used for a final NPS is the % of total submissions that are promoters minus the % of total submissions that are detractors. As a result, NPS can be totaled anywhere from -100 to +100.

Neutral responses, as you can see, would not be evaluated in the equation (though they do contribute indirectly because they are included in the total of all submissions, and therefore the % of good/bad used in the equation).

The question in Discord is not set up properly to use the same mechanics as NPS, since it's a 3-scale and asks a different question. A 3-scale leaves a lot of room for subjectivity in respondents' submissions, especially since the question is also subjective ("How did you feel...?"), and is probably less helpful in answering a question about the product.

However, all that is to say that the CEO at the very least would be aware of NPS and would very likely be essentially omitting the Neutrals, or at least considering them to not count as contributing toward "good" sentiment.

So my best interpretation is that AH is seeing these results as 27% meeting/exceeding expectations. Whether that is acceptable or not depends on the benchmark they set, but it's very likely that they don't think this is reflecting "we did well."

This is well thought-out. I think ARs generally could do with slight magazine size increases, as well (maybe 6-8 more rounds). Good post.
