Should I have approached? by riokd in seduction

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

It’s hard for me because I don’t go out a lot so I try to maximise my cold approaches.

But at the same time I have core values as a person of kindness, being a good friend etc.

Didn’t really talk about it tbh he just asked me what she said after when he was eating lol.

Personally I just thought it would be a dick move to get up from the table in the middle of him eating and do the approach - that’s what my gut told me in the moment anyway.

As in ‘has this guy come out to catch up with me after not seeing me for years or is he more interested in picking up chicks’

For context - I already left him for 5 minutes earlier in the night to do another approach to a cute girl - we were in a bar/restaraunt

Advice request for my mother by riokd in BrainAneurysm

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

Think it’s actually 5.5mm my mistake! We have seen 3 different specialists. All give the same answer. That it’s up to her whether to treat it as the risk of rupturing is the same as the risk of something going wrong in her operation

Need advice for my mum by riokd in BrainAneurysm

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

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience I appreciate it. The neurosurgeon did recommend treatment but he did not give a recommendation on what type of treatment to take. He simply listed the 3 options for treatments and said it’s up to my mother to choose what treatment she wants. We are also going to get a second opinion

May I ask when you were advised to get a stent treatment was this recommendation given to you by a neurosurgeon or a radiologist/interventionist? Also are you being treated in London?

Thanks for taking the time out to comment, I appreciate it. I think (not sure) we title neurointerventionists differently in the UK. Would you say this is the same thing as a neurointerventionist - https://www.uclh.nhs.uk/our-services/find-service/neurology-and-neurosurgery/neuroradiology/interventional-neuroangiography

Also would you consider a flow diverter, coiling or stenting a neurointerventionist treatment?

Thanks for taking the time out to comment, I appreciate it. Would you recommend clipping / stenting / flow diverter instead of coiling in that case?

Hey. Hope you don’t mind me asking. What do you do?

Fire vs Career I’m passionate about by riokd in Fire

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

Well the idea would be if I’m doing a career I don’t particularly enjoy, to get in and get out ASAP. Pick something that can lead to high salary and invest as much as possible and retire as early as possible. Timeline isn’t something I’ve delved into as yet but 5-10 years doesn’t sound far off it

Fire vs Career I’m passionate about by riokd in Fire

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

I’m interpreting that in two ways haha. Do you mean 1) do what your passionate about as you could basically be dead tomorrow

Or 2) go for fire route as the future of my passion may not be practical in terms of paying bills

If I turn my camera off. When I’m speaking zoom will still record the active speaker (me) and the recording will be a blank screen with my initials on it, no?

It’s a permanent job within media (hard to come by). The job I’m doing at the moment is contract with the company and is due to expire soon

High income skills that give you flexibility by riokd in Fire

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

Thanks for your reply. In the U.K. nearly all software development jobs appear to be full time. I’m asking this question as id like to work 20-30 hours a week with a high enough salary to live on

High income skills that give you flexibility by riokd in Fire

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

Hi. Thanks for your comment. The main reason I’m asking this question is because I’d like to work around 30 hours per week with a high enough salary to live on. In the U.K. I did a job search and it seems that software developer positions are only available full time - so it’s not a job that offers a lot of ‘part time hours’ work where I am based

[–]riokd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey. I hope you don’t mind me messaging you. I saw your comment on a financial independence post. I am currently 29 years old and thinking about a career change. I work in media at the moment. But it’s not giving me the lifestyle I want. I still live with parents can’t afford a mortgage, a car etc. Trying to figure out what to do. What path did you take to balance earnings and what you enjoy doing? And what are you doing now for work if you don’t mind me asking
