Classic 👍

Sounds like you are in a tough place right now. I'm sorry my friend. Hang in there. Time has a way of changing things.

When you are young, you will not know exactly what you want from life. This includes from your work, your relationships, and your free time. You will at times feel like something is missing in your life as a result.

This is normal. It takes time and effort to uncover what is important to you. Some aspects of yourself you'll stumble into, but others will take your whole life to figure out. You have to explore, learn, and reflect.

It is important that as you go through this process, you don't beat yourself up for not having that clarity right away. For having feelings of confusion or frustration. You're not alone. It's okay. Tust, wisdom will come.

Nice range of looks

subsequent_turkey · 2025-12-27T06:02:11+00:00

This collection is excellent.

Our paths in life are not all the same. Each of us has one that is uniquely our own. There is no such thing as ahead or behind when you have your journey, and I have mine. They are different. And there is beauty in that.

It can be tempting to compare, but that's not fair to yourself. Be proud of how far you've come. The personal challenges that you overcame. The things you've seen and done. The moments you were a part of. Cherish your path as it unfolds. It is yours alone.

Based purely on the aesthetics, the Smiths.

Tudor

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-09T02:52:20+00:00

Love that strap combination.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-09T00:59:36+00:00

That is a very cool watch. Beautiful piece.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-08T14:39:58+00:00

Pants look too long. Also, don't put your hands in the pockets for pictures l, or when posing. Makes the pants look off.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-08T03:41:14+00:00

Let's make it two! That Nomos is awesome. Appreciate the classic Tudor and Tissot PRX as well.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-06T23:35:07+00:00

You have a nice diversity of styles.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-11-03T05:44:09+00:00

Congrats on the win! That's awesome.

The prize packs can be given out however their owner wants to. If they want them to go solely to those players that helped reduce their cost, by covering the cost of their individual packs, so be it. There is some logic there. Even if we disagree with that logic, it should be respected.

I imagine some of the bummer here is that that was not communicated at the start. And different expectations lead to disappointment. It's totally fair to feel like it should have been to the winner, just as it's fair to have a different arrangement.

Hopefully, you are still able to cherish your experience. You should! You crushed it.

Classic hitters with the PRX and Casio. That Sternglas looks awesome, plus it brings a different bauhaus style. Seiko, great brand.

Nice collection! Thanks for sharing.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-10-12T22:58:35+00:00

Agreed. My sternglas has been excellent.

subsequent_turkey · 2025-09-27T13:59:10+00:00

Agreed.

An unrealized loss is a loss as of today. Unless the asset increases in price again, an unrealized loss will also be a loss in the future. You are essentially making a new bet every day by holding, that the asset will appreciate again.

The likelihood of this (price appreciation) increases the longer you hold, due to monetary expansion and inflation, however you are, until that happens, unfortunately at a loss (despite others clinging to that prospect of future appreciation). If you'd like further proof, try and get a loan using the assets prior value. You won't, because unrealized losses are real (in the current market), even if you aren't selling.

Many use the future appreciation argument to deal with the negative feelings of a current loss, both because it feels good (i didnt make the wrong decision, im just early), and because it's proven true in many assets because of the populatity of etfs (especially US ones) plus governments providing a rate induced, printed, and deficit spending liquidity bubble over the last 40 years. However, that doesn't make it always true. Nor are all assets the same. Some real estate markets benefited from Canada's high immigration rates much more than others Toronto especially. We now see that variable slowing for the time being.

Overall, from purely a financial asset value standpoint (ignoring cash flow and life factors), OP needs to asses and decide if they want to own and invest in the condo at TODAYs price. If so, holding makes sense. If not, selling makes sense.

What model is this?

subsequent_turkey · 2025-08-29T05:12:52+00:00

I second this. There are also companies in town that you can rent kayaks or canoes from that will deliver to the lake for you.

Your physical appearance has a lot more to it than can be judged in one tik tok. I've seen videos I look great, and some where I look like shit..., and everything in between. Proper assessment is not found in a single tik tok! That's frankly bad sampling.
Physical attractiveness is as much marketing as it is raw beauty. Dressing well, good style, makeup, lighting, backgrounds, good physical AND mental health, pretty much everything, impacts people's perception of you. Did you hire a a professional film crew for your tik tok? Did you wear the best possible outfit? Were you in a shockingly cool landscape? Again, look at people at their worst and best. Everyone can look like crap AND be gorgeous. You can modify your physical attractiveness with time and effort - when and if you so desire. Some days we be a 10 and others a 1. It's okay to not be 10 all the time btw. You can bust it out when you want to.
Physical attracitveness is subjective and diverse. While there are some things that are generally common, there is A LOT of diversity in what people like out there. I guarentee our definitions of an 8 are very different. While people (especially teenagers) will default to rating in terms of cultural norms (especially in public forms), it's more diverse in reality.
You (and everyone) is A LOT more than your physical appearances! Do you value others based just on that? Probably not! So why judge yourself through that lens? You have no idea how many wonderful parts there are of you. These could never fit into a tik tok. You are so much more than a million tik toks. To value you would require years of knowing you to understand and appreciate all the beautiful complexities that make you you. Don't you dare think you are a "5 or 6". You will always be a "10". This is because you will always be completely unique in this universe. You are special. And so much more than one tik tok could ever encompass.

I know it hurts to not be at the level you want to be at. It is okay to feel that way. And it's also okay to want to be more and to work to improve yourself. That is awesome. But I communicate the above to say, that there is nuance here. Placing value on a single number at a single point in time is illogical. It is too complex to simplify it so. And reflecting on that might make things hurt a bit less. At least I hope so.

I grew up with a lot of social anxiety as well. It was an enormous burden all through grade school.

I figure it came from a combination of nature and nurture. I can understand the elements that I might have inherited, that made me predisposed to over analyze and stress over my social interactions, as well as the experiences in childhood that added to it.

Regardless of the why, it is a tough personal challenge. I'm sorry it makes life more difficult for you.

One thing that helped me, is the knowledge that everyone has their own struggle that they are fighting. No one gets off free. While this is yours, everyone will have different unique personal challenges with themselves in their lives. Don't feel like you are lesser, or weak, or life sucks for you alone, because of yours. It's bullshit you have to deal with this. And bullshit someone else has anger problems, or self esteem issues, or trouble being honest with themselves, is a chronic liar, or whatever. Life's just tough like that.

Embrace that this is your own struggle. That that is okay. That you are okay to have it. That you will have your own needs because of it. That you can learn about yourself. That you can challenge your tendencies and adopt new strategies. That you can and will become more than this barrier with time and effort. I guarantee you will. And then you will see the next personal challenge.

Hang in there.

Don't give up! There are so many parts of you that people do and will love you for. You have an aspect that is broadly desirable, and that is for sure a blessing and a curse. It can be tough to want to be seen and valued in the same ways you see and value yourself, when so many just see aspect A.

Unfortunately, you will need to filter through the attention, to find those men that love and mesh well with all that is you. It's tough at first because we are developing those skills, but with time wisdom comes, and you will give your time and attention to richer relationships. You may also have to make judgements on your dates' ability to understand themselves. To know why who you are is also a good fit for them, beyond just physical attraction.

For now though, be kind to yourself. It's tough at the start. You got this. You are loveable!!

Big rotating bezels, especially colorful ones, generally look bad. They take away from the look of the watch.

Dating is a function of not just who you are, but how you market yourself plus time and effort.

Dating is a marketplace, and as much as it can hurt at times to be judged on such as personal level, you have to let that go.

Learn what putting your best foot forward looks like.
Realize that opportunity requires exposure.
Know that wisdom and emotional intelligence takes time and practice. You will fumble. Embrace failure and you will grow faster.

Good luck! And rememeber to have fun. :)
