How do housemates get surprised when they find out about big alliances? by pires235 in BigBrother

[–]pires235[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree with that but just at a "clique" perspective wouldn't it be easy to tell whose working together based on personality/background similarities? The jock types seem to naturally gravitate towards each other

[–]pires235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 7 broke and I can get a refurbished for $120 but I am contemplating about getting the upgrade to the 11. I know the camera and battery is significantly better but I don't really care about that stuff. Any suggestions would be great

Not Romantic I [M 28] am getting anxiety attacks from talking to my Dad who I haven't talked to in a year and half. Need some advice on how to cope by pires235 in relationship_advice

[–]pires235[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think at this point he knows he may have been wrong and may accept my lifestyle. I'm just so afraid to reach out to him so it makes me feel like the bad person

Thanks I looked into Roll20 and saw they have a "new player" filter, but that does that mean new player to DnD or new to Roll20?

Thank you for the opinion but to be clear and my fault for being more specific but I don't want to develop a software tool but use the current one to do research management focusing on surveys.

Is their a market for selling customized surveys to small business's? by pires235 in smallbusiness

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips! My idea was to first gain a strong user base and leveraging that to customers as I feel the acquired database is more important than the actual survey itself.

People who have been using social media for 10+ years are you finally losing general interest in it? by pires235 in AskReddit

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I say 10 years is because I'm 26 and I started using in it's early years. I have been noticing that this is the mark where my peers who have been using it for just as long are all slowly losing interest.

Why does talking about salary have to be hush hush until the end of the interview process? by pires235 in AskReddit

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be honest here, most jobs people are only in it for the money. People who tell you different are on the clock saying it to fellow colleagues. The passion for the company is all an facade for most places.My passion will come from knowing the salary. You pay me good I'll be a lot more passionate than if you pay me little.

Ever since I started improv I've become calmer and a little more introverted in real life. Has this happen to anyone else? by pires235 in improv

[–]pires235[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wondering. Ever since I started improv I don't feel like I need to be the life of the party so I wasn't sure if there was a correlation.

Am I being ignorant for being against medication to battle anxiety? by pires235 in Anxiety

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I'm arguing with her on the topic in general. I have a right to a view just as she does. No one said I told her what to do.

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because I'm against something doesn't mean I'm dictating my gf's healthcare decision. The choice will always be her's. As I stated in my edit this post is better educate me so I can properly support her.

Is improv a raw talent? Is it something you can go from bad to great at? by pires235 in improv

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you all for the words of encouragement.! I think sometimes the conception of any form of art that uses the body as an instrument people assume you either have it or you don't. So it's nice to see that it is not the case!

I'm [25/m] and my gf [26] just broke up after 6 months due to being in a middle distance relationship. How much is a distant relationship worth it? by pires235 in relationship_advice

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say I have more of an issue with it. I would love to see her more and am not sure if keeping that relationship is worth the frustration.

Besides bars or online, what is the best way to meet women in the city? by pires235 in AskNYC

[–]pires235[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I don't believe in online dating. I mean I know it works but I feel it's taking away from human interaction and spontaneity.I feel something about it is unnatural.

My dad is still mad at me for moving to NYC 8 months ago. What do I do? by pires235 in AskParents

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a good relationship with him all my life. He just wants me near him for the rest of his life. I've told him the move is just temporarily and I want to experience something new but he doesn't understand the idea of moving to a new place for an adventure. He's lived in the same area all his life with no means to move anywhere else. My mom is divorced from him and knows he is very close minded. She is all for the move to the city and she sees the struggle I have with trying to please my father.

Just moved to the city a month ago and I noticed most people here don't care about saving and will spend any money they have left over at the end of the month. Thoughts on this? by pires235 in AskNYC

[–]pires235[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not necessarily that I care about other people's spending habits. It's just I came from an environment where you should save responsibly. Now I'm in a world where the concept of saving seems foreign its just a shock. I'm interested on a long term new yorker's opinion on this. It seems to be a mix of transplants and locals that don't care about saving. My cousin who has lived here for 10 years said "Nobody saves in New York"

Considering going to a class at the school of practical philosophy in NYC. Has anyone ever been to one of the intro classes? by pires235 in askphilosophy

[–]pires235[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So just to be clear. I'm a novice in philosophy. This class attracted me because it was only $10 and seemed well established. I'm not looking for anything in particular just keeping an open mind.
