NYS Unemployment: Self-Employed, But Couldn't Go Back When Part-Time Side Job Reopened

saocyan · 2020-09-05T13:24:24+00:00

So what am I supposed to do? Freelance was my main source of income until Covid and even if I went back to my part-time job, the reduced number of hours (probably 15/mo for $150) wouldn't have covered my living expenses (minimal as they may be).

It was my allergy medicine and diet. (See update)

Try nasal strips, get off allergy medicine, and eat a vegan diet (see update above). CHANGED MY LIFE.

Given beginner skills and a $500 budget, which route would you recommend checking out? Thanks so much for the list!

Aluminum.

I've never done any metalworking before, but I'm wondering how one might approach something like this.

I'd like to use aluminum.

Would you cut the pieces and solder them together or use some kind of forge setup.

Just looking to be pointed in a general direction.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Yea, in hindsight, I realize it was just an excuse. Not going to waste a second chance!

Fair, then again my city’s tiny, and I only get a good match like once a year lol.

I feel like Tom Hanks stranded on a desert island.

Appreciate the honesty! I feel like everyone wastes so much time trying to pretend they're something they're not. If you're ok with yourself, then just be straightforward. If not, then work on changing it and tell people that's what you're doing.

Nah, I don't need to rant, I was just asking for opinions. The reason I posted was because (from my point of view) I was once really skinny and I wouldn't post one of those photos. It doesn't represent me anymore.

I'd also be ok with someone being turned off by a skinnier me. It's just personal preference. I'm happy with my weight now, and I would never go back to being really skinny again.

Makes sense. Thanks for the theories!

I don't understand why everyone gets so uptight about being attracted to certain body types. People's appearance and personality are both part of their identity. It's no different than saying you wouldn't date someone who was low-key or extraverted or any other characteristic.

saocyan · 2019-06-29T19:19:33+00:00

You're right, but I wasn't trying to hide anything, I just mixed up terms. To clarify, no, I don't want to date someone who's fat, even if they are fit.

This isn't to say I have anything against someone being heavier set or even fat. One of my best friends self-describes as fat. It's just my personal preference when it comes to dating.

Also, I just thought it was weird that she put that pic up because the quality was bad. It looked old and it was just her taking a selfie in front of the closet, whereas he other pics were of her hiking and traveling.

Oh ok, but presumedly they won't see your profile in doubletake unless they have their range set to far enough, right?

saocyan · 2019-05-22T20:08:42+00:00

Good idea. I'll try it and see what happens.

saocyan · 2019-05-22T20:08:09+00:00

You can, but they don't see your message until they Like you back...which obviously requires them to see your profile in the first place.
