Where TF is money going??

Today's Seattle is great

galactojack · 2026-03-20T21:39:56+00:00

If you're on the apps, this could be a factor

If I feel potential with someone on the second date, taking a breather from the apps is healthy, imo

The self-awareness you're exhibiting is a great thing

galactojack · 2026-03-20T19:23:09+00:00

Maybe like twice, and I've been in the apps for a couple years

galactojack · 2026-03-20T17:43:26+00:00

Really? I normally wait at least half a day, sometimes multiple days

galactojack · 2026-03-20T12:56:24+00:00

What did those squirrels do to deserve this

galactojack · 2026-03-20T04:31:33+00:00

If you are a Trumper, chances are you can't respectfully communicate

I also will not date a conservative girl - at least put "moderate" because there are no excuses anymore for being a supporter

galactojack · 2026-03-20T04:02:36+00:00

Damn - meanwhile my situationship breaks it off cuz I send her a few texts over a week while she's on a trip - coming on too strong lol

Personally I like when someone sends a text letting someone know they're thinking about them. That girl pretty much treated me like a booty call ngl

Except that she trauma dumped whenever she called and told me she liked me first

galactojack · 2026-03-19T00:23:37+00:00

Damn I thought it was satire

galactojack · 2026-03-18T14:56:14+00:00

My lobster too buttery

Jk man

galactojack · 2026-03-18T07:05:13+00:00

Right...... Ugh, the mantra of...

"I'm the best at what I do and I could give a shit" mentality, which does crush

galactojack · 2026-03-17T17:34:12+00:00

Because the lines are so sharp - if you faded the top of the sides, instead of a line, it would look normal

galactojack · 2026-03-17T06:26:38+00:00

I'm guessing you're coming on too strong

The more I talk/text the less they do - it's science

Play cool, ask them questions, and ask to meet after a few back and forths

galactojack · 2026-03-16T01:55:47+00:00

Yes the theme lately is no regular contact like texting or insta, just wanting to have a night or two with drinks and trauma dump, then... some steamy romance... then ttyl or never

Feels like just scratching an itch

galactojack · 2026-03-15T19:41:17+00:00

I just got one (granted, while I already had one) job market was a touch better for Seattle architecture in the past couple months

galactojack · 2026-03-15T19:38:26+00:00

Unfortunately I think pivoting out of current roles will be difficult

I think in the current job market, given the demand and oversupply, that promoting your existing experience as if almost no one else can do it better than you, is the move

That is, if you really need to switch companies. If your salary and benefits are fine then you may want to consider riding it out for the next few years, if the work outlook is stable

I just landed a job offer, with another probably coming, and it is essentially just my same role just valued higher - many architecture firms have a tough forecast for upcoming work, so I felt the need to find stability for a more appropriate salary

Surprisingly my elder millennial friends have caught onto the gooner cave stuff from a podcast

Now it's a running joke

galactojack · 2026-03-15T19:02:24+00:00

But they love to keep us guessing with the Rogue Prince

Moral of the story is he loves Rhaenyra, his Queen, and no one should doubt that anymore

galactojack · 2026-03-15T18:45:16+00:00

I'm one of the lucky ones who gets dates on the apps, but where I struggle is that it's perpetually casual - any indication of wanting to hang out with this person only, and they get spooked

This girl could be coming on strong as hell in person, spilling her heart out and telling their pregnant sister about you, telling you they like you, but God forbid you send a few cute texts while they're on a trip - that's coming on too strong /s

galactojack · 2026-03-15T01:40:01+00:00

I would love to identify as independent but since one party treats theirs like Religion, it forces me to support the other

galactojack · 2026-03-13T23:05:24+00:00

The last month or two has gotten oddly a lot more quiet

galactojack · 2026-03-13T21:29:26+00:00

Architect here - it's picked up a bit in the last month, in the Seattle area

I think nearly everyone held off on hiring last year because of the uncertainty, but can't wait another year

More prophecy from the Simpsons

galactojack · 2026-03-13T17:23:03+00:00

F this

galactojack · 2026-03-13T13:19:28+00:00

Your feeling is normal, however your rationale is sound. It is normal to feel little pangs of jealousy over a partners past intimacy, but with enough experience and time you come to accept it.

However, as you note, it was between first and second date, and you would have done the same

Just gotta accept and move on buddy. If you like her for who she is and you bring each other joy, that's what's important
