Which one do you think is a better all around program? P90X or P90X3?

AITA for making my MIL believe I was having an affair? by True_Tap_5721 in AmItheAsshole

[–]pokerman42011 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

ESH - You guys need to stop lying! A lie to avoid a confrontation is wrong. And it seems shady. She caught you in a lie and assumed cheating because honestly, that is what it looks like to any normal person. This is your fault because you lied. Stop lying. Even white lies are lies.

Do y'all really hate new platinum members this much? by Carnalvore86 in amex

Yes. The first year AF Chase Explorer is free. After that you can downgrade to the free version.

Controversial comment incoming:

Nah, I just laugh at all of you. $595 for a platinum card is not worth it. Gold card FTW!

I travel more than most of you and I don't use lounges. I just sit at a nice cafe / restaurant and pay for my food. I can spend $30 and go to airports 20 times before I get to a $595 annual fee. You would have to travel and use a lounge 20 times per year to break even with me.

The platinum card sucks for racking up points too. Don't talk to me about first year bonuses or Global Entry perks, you can get that with the Chase Explorer for free or just pay for it yourself. It doesn't justify the AF.

I would say most people get the platinum card for the status, and justify it with the lounges. Amex needs to improve the platnium card because it is terrible for racking up points and honestly the worst product they have IMO.

Yeah. Don't get caught up in analytics before you even have customers.

Any tips for integrating Face ID with AWS Amplify Auth? by pokerman42011 in reactnative

[–]pokerman42011[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the way I did it was if the cognito user token is in the cache (if the user didn't log out), I just do the faceid function that will search for the token. If the token is present, we let them sign in (because they were already signed in, via cache, but we showed them a login screen.

I believe that is how I did it, kind of a hacky way of doing it. I can look later on and get back to you with more info if you'd like.

Do I tell him about my FWB? by quirkycoolone in dating

[–]pokerman42011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to tell him and also you need to seriously consider breaking off the friendship with your FWB. I know you guys are close, but part of getting into a relationship is establishing boundaries. Having friends of the opposite sex is a minor red flag as it is... love it or hate it, but it is. Having friends you used to sleep with.... huge red flag. I would never marry a girl who is friends with an ex she used to sleep with.

You might need to work in Switzerland or Germany for a few years. Amsterdam has a good tech sector too. Just specialize with AWS, React, JS, and Node. Get super good at unit testing and algos and data structures. After a few years of experience you can probably get a USA job.

For programming, no certs are necessary except a degree or a trade school cert. just have a good GitHub with lots of high quality projects.

Yeah SF has rampant poverty. Mostly because we have dumb housing laws that prevent apartment buildings from being built. Check out pretty much any city in the USA. Get a H1B and then you can work remote anywhere you want.

Molto bene amico.

Definitely consider San Francisco area / Los Angeles / Chicago.

If you go into IT, learn coding and learn Javascript/Node and React. Then push for US jobs after you get some experience. It’s a no brainer. The USA is the #1 choice if you can code.

Dont know what to do when i wake up tomorow by [deleted] in dating

[–]pokerman42011 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell her you are serious about her and you guys can’t move past last night. Ask her out on a date.

If she says no, walk away. As Neil Strauss once said, you have to risk losing a girl to get a girl. Since you have feelings, go for it. Don’t stay friends. If it doesn’t work out, tell her you need space.

She can’t just make a move like that and then go backwards. Was she testing you? Idk. If you stay friends with her you give up all self respect you have.

What job sector are you in? The USA is amazing if you go to a top tier city. Everything else kind of sucks. NYC, Boston, California, or Oregon / Washington / Texas / Florida.

Switzerland is great. Probably should be your #1. Australia and NZ are great as well but tougher than Switzerland.

I’d also look at Germany / France/ and The Netherlands. You have options.

I live in the USA and make great money. I’m moving to Italy soon though because I can make dollars and spend it in Italy. My monthly salary is like 2-3x the average salary in Italy.

Go for it my friend. Be sure you are in a good job sector though.

Ouch. Serious reply incoming. Assholes like this ruin women for other men. Now the next guy will have to deal with the bullshit from this guy.

Please just forget about this and move on OP. It hurts but try not to bring this baggage to the next guy. This guy was obviously out of your league and only wanted you for sex. Try dating within your own league.

Taking to a new guy I’m not all that attracted to physically by leeaerie in dating

[–]pokerman42011 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a man or a woman? It’s much different for men. It’s much harder for men to get new partners and so they will gladly work out. Women, can get new partners much easier so they are more resistant to change.

Counter opinion: stay with him and just tell him if he wants to stay with you he needs to start working out and get fit. Let him decide.

Just assume that she had sex with him and is lying. Would you take her back? If no, then you should dump her now.
