This is a hard ask… especially since there are so many snake oil folks.

I know it’s basic advice but… It may be worth looking on YouTube for “Life as a X” or some of those “Experiences working as an Y” or “How I would start in Z now” videos. All the Career advisors have migrated into the over sharing economy, which is nice. You can get a feel of the people and advice and then potentially message them for specifics.

Happy Hunting!

I think I remember someone directly asking him the question and he simply replied. Think you’re right though. Damn humans and their need for answers!

It’s definitely time for a rewatch as my impressions have become hazy. Thanks mate.

Steins;Gate is one of those few shows I’d recommend which come with the annoying disclaimer “You need to watch until episode X and then you’re in for a ride”

And what a ride. Tuturuuu.

I love that man, his brain and how he probes any subject matter which comes across his party.

The way my head absorbed what you said was: Phillips is the Apple of the LEDs. If you want something longer lasting, stick with the “ol reliable” brand such had to innovate to sell cheaper. I wonder if people have done experiments…

Great watch!

My only gripe was the fact that he actually declared himself as [the one they accused him of being]. I wonder what would have happened if he kept it subtle or even passed it off as “It’s a joke guys” in a convincing manner. Would have been left to audience interpretations and may have increased tension. One may never know.

Boy do I have a video for you. It’s regarding the cartel and light bulb engineering if you’d be interested:

Monopolies are scary though, especially if they can make such collective actions without telling anyone.

Try leave everyone and everything better than you find it.

It’s so comprehensive, it’s scary. Just shows how many layers of complexity you need and the factors involved in simulation.

People be smart.

Thanks for sharing.

I can’t speak/read Russian, so I can’t make judgements on the translations… so truckload of salt to be taken:

I listened to the audiobook and I felt it mooted the point of the Author on keeping the various character ‘voices’ intact. Adding an interpretation of the narrator really helped bring everyone to life. I know it’s an added layer but made the whole thing so dramatic and added so much color.

Would recommend listening to such ““dry”” classics!

What a nice and beautiful response, asshole!

(Sorry… Couldn’t help myself. I’m sure you’re a lovely person)

As someone below commented, empathy matters. Knowing the audience is key, whether you’re giving the middle finger or giving a thank you speech.

You reminded me of this moment: https://youtu.be/up0d6cZQhIU

Sometimes there are moments where some people have different life experiences which lead to different stimuli of insight. These people may potentially take criticism roughly and may need some easing and gentleness. Such people may have the tendency to withdraw or lose confidence upon hearing relatively short messages with no emotional context and then perceive them having negative intent or feeling that they are not worth you time. They may want to talk to sit and form connections instead of pure efficiency of communication. (/s?)

I enjoy shaping bushes. Great memories.

I resonate with your “won’t know if I’m real” feeling.

Something happens to you and it’s actually useful lesson. If a tree falls… How can you not share?

That’s a great encounter… Would be fun to give chaotic good nudges to strangers.

Played Alpha and vividly remembered the first night when the monsters come out. Terrified.

Then I discovered mods. Entire game changer when I discovered the Portal Gun.

Good times.

Your hormones make you weak! Let go of your mortal shell and live in the sweet embrace of 1s and 0s. None of those pesky shades of gray. Everything in it’s own happy 'float’ing bucket.

We’ll even throw in a RNG if you ever want to get the thrill of hormones.

Join us.

Sincerely, Totally not a bot

Maybe op has only used shower gloves and has now seen the light…

Someone added in “or laziness or busyness” and it stuck with me.

My attempt: When in doubt, try find what is the thing and what’s not the thing.
