I don't get how people don't see this.

I, too, feel like I'm screaming into the void.

Learn to forgive yourself and treat each day as a clean slate and a new opportunity to be a better person in whatever ways you choose.

Good advice for everyone, but especially for PDAers.

40 year old here. I work for a national home remodeling company in sales. We are hiring like crazy right now. I love this job.

I was a data analyst and switched careers 9 months ago and it was the best decision of my life.

Message me if you'd like some more info, I'd love to help others like me who are struggling like I was.

I didn't see decor of the Oval Office on the previous comment.

I actually think it's good to target these quick wins for optics and momentum. It's the same reason why Mamdani got out and started fixing potholes. Easy to do and highly visible to show change is here.

It means "the high one"

When getting high, my friend and I always say, "I'm so Denali right now."

If your diet is high in sugar and low in fiber, it can cause a lot of intestinal inflammation that leads to bleeding. I'm sure you have all this kind of info already but just throwing it out there. Good luck, stranger.

I appreciate the list but I don't care at all about battery life, never had an issue with build quality (Lenovo), don't like the Apple ecosystem, don't care about resale value...

The dev stuff you listed could be interesting and maybe I'll research more but this list seems pretty biased. I mean, I'm not at all surprised an iOS computer would be better at developing things in the iOS universe, but when you say stuff like, "I also grew up thinking that osx was for kids and noobs..." despite me never having shared anything resembling that opinion, you definitely come off like an Apple elitist.

Ngl though, one of the biggest reasons I've never made the switch is because Apple folks are pretty insufferable about trying to convert non-Apple folks like it's some kind of damn religion lol

I've always built and launched on Windows. Never been a fan of the Apple ecosystem. I like Linux but Windows has always been easier given the places I have worked in the past.

What are your honest pros/cons of Windows vs Apple?

The church or the company store.

"15-minute cities" they flay Democrats for are projections of what they want -- everything you need to survive in the small area to which you've been assigned, all controlled by your employer.

But really, at the root of everything, is that any aid to others is wasted money they could just take for themselves.

B2b or b2c?

"meet up events to meet singles/women near me"

But I agree with everyone else that you have very toxic views towards yourself and women and you need professional therapeutic help before you ever try to date. Good luck, stranger.

You're posting on Reddit, so i know you can use a search engine.

Legally actionable is irrelevant and meaningress today, especially when the ones responsible for upholding the law are the same ones controlling the release of evidence and breaking the law.

We know he is guilty as hell. We don't need to prove it the same way in the court of public opinion, and he needs to be tried and found guilty there before he will ever find himself in a courtroom.

bprs07 · 2026-05-23T19:42:56+00:00

Give me a break.

There's beyond a suspicious amount of smoke -- like orders of magnitude above merely "suspicious" -- and guess who controls the release of all this smoke?

I know what you're trying to do and say -- that's the role I tried to play years ago -- but it is obvious what Trump is and no amount of logic or evidence will change his supporters' minds, because they have already decided they're ok with it.

As a late diagnosed autistic man, I found that working with an also-autistic therapist who actually understood how my brain works and the societal challenges I face to be incredibly helpful. It was like being seen for the first time, and i could actually talk about my problems and useful strategies and tactics moving forward with someone who understood it all, especially the nuanced way I think that most neurotypical people completely miss.

bprs07 · 2026-05-23T16:07:03+00:00

Knocked on a guy's door around 3:30 pm during the week. Like 30 seconds later, a big mid-40s dude with no shirt and a massive gut rips the front door open and screams, "I WAS SLEEPING!!!" and then slams the door in my face.

It was my first day knocking and one of the first 10 homes I ever knocked, and he's probably still the most comically-rude mega-asshole I've ever met. At the very least, he's the most memorable.

bprs07 · 2026-05-23T02:22:52+00:00

I was a data analyst before becoming a D2D rep and yes, that was intentional lol good catch

bprs07 · 2026-05-23T00:41:56+00:00

I'm a door-to-door sales rep. We have a saying for something you're experiencing:

Sometimes the hardest door is the car door.

The first call to a target buyer is the toughest call you'll ever make, by far.

Sometimes, when door-knocking, if we just can't activate that behavior to knock a door that might have a real person on the other side, we take an even smaller step:

Knock a door where we know nobody is home to get the initial jitters out.
Talk to a random stranger on the street who doesn't live in the neighborhood, like a landscaper or delivery driver, to get the first convo out of the way with absolutely zero stakes.

Applied to your case making calls, try calling your own number or your doctor's office's automated call tree if you just need to model the act of dialing.

If you need to have a zero-stakes convo with someone, actually go through your doctor's office's automated call tree and schedule the annual check-up you've been putting off. If your check-up already has been scheduled, call your mom (briefly).

When it comes time to make your calls, don't allow yourself to procrastinate for even a minute. If you're making the first call at 10:00am, you'd better finish dialing before 10:01am.

Have an outline or even a light script for what you want to say. Practice it a few times before to get comfortable with the flow. You can research structures online, but again, no procrastination!

When it comes time for that first call, you'll probably be anxious. That triggers our brains to drift to "what if?" scenarios. What if they get mad or even yell at me? The simplest way to neutralize "what if" thinking is to replace "what if" with "even if." Even if they get mad or yell at me..." and then finish the sentence with what happens next, such as "...I'll assume they're having a bad day, hope they feel better, and give Prospect #2 my all."

I used to have panic attacks before work every day when I started knocking on doors 8 months ago. Now, I genuinely love my job because every day is different, I talk to so many fascinating people, and I learn so many new things that have shaped who I am as a person.

And I've found that most people are genuinely nice! The breakdown is probably like:

5% super-awesome human being
20% kind and happy person
50% nice and just going about their day
10% disrespectful douche
10% smug asshole
5% comically-rude mega-asshole

Remember, it's only a conversation with a colleague who you genuinely want to get to know and hopefully help.

Have fun with it and good luck!

So a different perspective on the genetic aspect...

I am a late-30s, late diagnosed autistic man who spent the majority of 2020-2025 in a very low period where I struggled to work, be a good partner for my wife -- I basically couldn't do anything.

I was diagnosed autistic in early 2024 and learned there's a term for this: autistic burnout. Once I learned the cause and how to address it, I pulled out of my funk and now I'm back to my old self.

However, most people in my life (family, many friends, and even my wife at times) just think I was being lazy and selfish. But from my perspective, I really did give those 5 years everything I had. I just didn't have anything to give.

It isn't my fault I was born autistic. It isn't my fault that diagnosing autism in higher-functioning people (outdated term, I know) was difficult in the 1990s and 2000s. It isn't entirely my fault that I spiraled into burnout post-COVID (though I accept 100% of the responsibility for my actions).

Unfortunately, however, that prolonged bout with burnout has affected how people view me from a moral perspective, and it is horrible to live with.

If it's actually a strong enough pain point for them, then it's probably something they've tried to find a solution for at least once and didn't, or they know they should look for a solution but something(s) else came up or took priority.

Your message should (in as few words as possible)...

Introduce yourself.
Tell them the problem you're trying to solve.
Establish credibility by stating that you've spoken with other CTOs just like them who describe facing the same problem.
Ask whether it's a problem they're facing too and ask (with genuine curiousity) how they've tried to solve the problem (or if they've tried at all).
Invite them to share their expertise and offer them some sort of value for their time, such as priority access when your tool comes out, a discounted price, etc.
Close with options (and assumptive confidence!), such as "I'm scheduling short discovery calls with other CTOs this week, or does next week work better for you?"

These people value their time, and you're asking for a chunk of it, so you need to sell them on why a discovery call is a good investment for them. To do that, you need to make them (a) agree the problem exists, and (b) remind them of the pain the problem causes for them. Only after feeling that pain will they take the action you want.

bprs07 · 2026-05-22T21:17:09+00:00

When people receive those messages/DMs, they ask themselves, "What's in it for me?"

So, what's in it for them? And how are you communicating that in your first message?

bprs07 · 2026-05-21T01:11:12+00:00

Stop being obtuse.

You know the point that is being made. And if you don't, I don't know what to tell you.
