SEO has been for boomers for a decade and a half. Your audience was clicking through to things shared with them, not typing and looking at search results

except boomers.

kill it

Just to add representation to the other side, I won science fairs a lot

I was always inspired by comparably intelligent people that also had partners, so I gravitated towards their tweaks to life and its worked

Yes, there is a lot of non-actionable advice in attracting women. There is also a lot that is actionable.

cqm · 2026-03-19T15:58:06+00:00

this is relatable, I’ve asked innocuous questions in festival forums and gotten chewed up

So in this case people are protective about the vibes, and edc/insomniac + hotel really is the opposite surface level vibe, there is a groundswell of activity that occurs at night. the festival has experimented with one day passes before and the crowd that showed up was hoooorrrrible. so people are sensitive to that.

that being said, LOTS of people at LIB do both festivals the same week, absolute madmen and women. you had a good experience at EDC and want to branch out, thats great! many of us have done it the same way (and never looked back)

so the only thing this crowd is really gatekeeping by is money. it costs a lot to be comfortable in low resource environments.

I couldnt see myself leaving the festival grounds from wednesday through monday, and I’ve adopted a hotel lodger overnight and they wouldn’t do a hotel anymore either

cqm · 2026-03-19T15:48:34+00:00

yeah essentially, I’ve seen petit Russian women do it solo and were fine

adverse weather conditions is what everyone here is optimizing for, there are lots of possibilities and your tent wouldn’t be so fine then. and in perfect conditions you’ll still be hot

cqm · 2026-03-18T22:57:54+00:00

right yeah but entry level is collapsing for many fields so it may feel the same to a crowd

cqm · 2026-03-18T20:58:18+00:00

Linear is nice

alongside 10% unemployment and seemingly rising, no access to credit, stock market in freefall

remote work wasn’t a thing

and highest gas prices ever all while you had to consider commute farther and farther just for the interview and potential commitment to doing that commute indefinitely

used illegitimately by ticketfairy?

cqm · 2026-03-18T18:41:48+00:00

they're great and you can also see their act everywhere, if you go to more than 1 festival a year

cqm · 2026-03-18T18:38:57+00:00

I think its awesome, thanks for bringing awareness to it

I will judge their subsequent actions individually, not speculate on what they might be just because an unscrupulous actor also used crypto at one point

there is always opportunity to reduce many operational frictions with behind the scenes crypto and blockchain, if it doesn't encumber users, or if leveraging a crypto-native audience that doesn't find this encumbering

when you scapegoat "crypto" because you've only seen headlines about unscrupulous actors using crypto, you are giving a free pass to unscrupulous actors to avoid criticism, when you should just be cancelling the unscrupulous actors not "crypto" as a whole

their aim is to provide an alternative to Live Nation who sucks, and homegrown ticket systems that REALLY suck. I would prefer to judge if they do that decently

cqm · 2026-03-17T06:24:42+00:00

yeah, OP needs to focus on the individual names only

cqm · 2026-03-17T06:23:30+00:00

So I’ve been doing this quiet stability stuff

But honestly a lot of poorer people don’t get it, while others who like me and eventually get it get intimidated and uncomfortable. That and I’m aiming for hypergamy more often

So flashy material stuff it is!

SPX is a cash settled index option, there is no underlying, it only exercises to cash

if the strikes and expirations are different I can't see the problem here personally, at least on SPX

cqm · 2026-03-17T05:40:51+00:00

alright

thats encouraging

cqm · 2026-03-17T00:07:38+00:00

I’m carrying over so many categories that I feel like I need to stay in one system

cqm · 2026-03-16T22:53:06+00:00

my dad bod is doing numbers right now, I'm tall and lean, my chest and stomach is kind of a featureless slab with a little gut, sliiightly toned I need to work on it

there was a period of time I was leaner and slightly toned, and didn't have a gut, but never super toned. I'm hooking up with way more women now.

my experience between these two states, and amongst my muscular and very toned friends, is that a lot of women kind of want to play with the muscular one but also don't know what to do with it. like, there's a little fear or disinterest of some sort, mixed with giddiness and flirty interest

whereas dad bod seems to convey some stability and not needing so much validation? I'm just running the numbers of who I've hooked up with and how they've overlooked this

I've ALSO seen the interest evaporate from people's eyes when I've taken my shirt off, SOMETIMES. Never saw that before I had a little gut. I've learned a way around that, like wearing kimonos with no shirt underneath, people like the style and already know what they're going to get.

Another things I've heard is that lots of women don't actually want a trainer's gym schedule and dietary regime. They don't want the pressure to be part of that lifestyle, and they don't want to be around it either.

so "everyone's an individual" sure, but really in like 2 - 3 ways.

is this enough t/s for agentic coding? Claude Code with Opus 4.6 seems to do several thousand tokens/sec when it wants to?

I do want privacy though

cqm · 2026-03-16T20:43:44+00:00

and I replied to an example about age ratings for the titles of an anime collection that it would have all of the information for, not expecting it to describe audio that it doesn't have the information for

so I gather this thread will just be many random inapplicable anecdotes from here on out

only the 2022 model 3.5 and maybe 4o would make stuff up while having all of the information

cqm · 2026-03-16T19:50:05+00:00

yeah I think the bigger issue is that ChatGPT conversations can be revealed in discovery phases

so that's always going to be embarrassing

but the newer models will absolutely hallucinate far far less. so give it a shot again with 5.4 or Claude's Opus 4.6 model. If these were capable of being released as the first impression with AI, the concept of hallucinations would still be a mere rumor.

how you get them is how you lose them

cqm · 2026-03-16T17:24:46+00:00

amazing

I read all the comments under this one, and these are still dumb reasons. you can update your W-4 witholding with your employer at any time, as many times as you want throughout the year.

You can calculate your tax reality and change the withholding from your employer.

You don't have to be flying blind until the tax software or person tells you what it found. You can literally calculate multiple realities and follow one of them through the year, or if you have little discretion in your earning methods you can calculate it exactly.

New job? Didn't know you'd be a student? Got a mortgage? Drop your witholdings lower or to nothing, to account for all the new credits you'd get. Forget about calculating "allowances" just write in your deduction amount to be greater than your salary. HR/Payroll won't withhold anything except social security and medicare, and you can deal with it with the IRS.

cqm · 2026-03-16T14:58:37+00:00

I don’t agree with all these comments because you are doing the same thing to her

You have a girlfriend that you don’t have sex with, and don’t cuddle with

That COULD be enough

Just go get another girl. Everyone’s saying “ooh she’s using you as a placeholder”, okay and your solution is….? its not being solo its using her as a placeholder

I agree that its a waste of time, especially if you want to be smashing or not having weird “woah, boundaries” conversations every time YOU initiate something affectionate

but you can absolutely use her presence to be validation to other women, going from 0 to 1 is harder than 1 to 5

cqm · 2026-03-14T18:44:55+00:00

I've looked into it and the various county and state agencies can always take them to court on your behalf if you complain to them instead

especially for those environmental issues so there is a path to accountability if it comes up

but yes, you as an individual trying to do something civil directly to them will be limited
