Say I have a session with Tutor A booked on Monday 5pm.
And Tutor A reschedules our Friday lesson and tries to move it to Monday 5pm. Do they get notified that I'm unavailable on that time?
This has happened twice now the past year.
I develop a crush. I know she likes me in return. It feels amazing just to see her. I can tell she feels it too. Yet I don't act. She gives me chances to make a move, but I don't take them. Then things just slowly die down. Then I feel empty and disappointed in myself for doing nothing.
I don't like this feeling. It's just an emptiness now. With each crush that I don't act on the more I accumulate "what ifs" that live rent free in my head. I only develop a crush like once every 2 years, so it's not often. Which makes it hurt more when I let it slip by.
I have a gym crush. When i see her now I just feel disappointed. I can tell the energy shifted because of my inaction. I can tell she felt disappointed & annoyed that I didn't approach despite the chances she gave me. We don't look at each other all the time like we used to. Yet when I don't see her at the gym I think "maybe she switched gyms or moved. I lost my opportunity forever", and I feel sad. It sucks either way.
Crushes are exciting. Then they just feel shitty when it goes nowhere for whatever reason.
My wallet was stolen with my main CC (Wise).
The thing is, my backup CCs are expired because I've been away for so long lol. So now I'm wondering what to do. I mean, worst case scenario I transfer money into my gf's bank here (she's a local in this country), and I get money that way.
But man.... I'm wondering what I would have done if I had no one here, and no one back home to Western Union me money or something. Anyone been in that situation?
Obviously having backup CCs is the right move. But if you don't have any - what would you do? I always keep like $800 in cash just in case, and can always use my CC digitally to buy a plane ticket or transfer money, but I won't be able to get physical money or buy food if I had no other option.
I keep debit cards at my place. But it's been so long I forgot the pins, and can't reset them by phone.
I wish cards like Wise which are commonly used by nomads had a solution for this. The digital card option that some people have available to them on the app is not available to me. I don't think it's available for Canadians.
The hardest part isn't holding your stocks when the market crashes and everyone's in the red. The hardest part is holding your stocks when the market and most people are doing great, but you're not.
Logic tells me I need to keep holding what I researched in depth. But the SPY, the QQQ, SOXX and most people in /stocks/ are printing money non stop due to chips.
Nothing happens because I have a gf, and she has a bf. So it bothers me how well we get along. The chemistry is so good. It's so easy to talk to her. I get joy from making her laugh. And I know she feels it too, because we very lightly, subtly flirted for a long time last year. And there was an opportunity last year when we were both unhappy with our relationships.
But that door seemed to have closed. I didn't make anything happen despite her boldness. Because I've never been in such a situation - being with someone, while liking another. At that time, I think both of us were willing to monkey branch, but it didn't materialize.
So now we just chat every now and then. Not often. But enough to remember how long we get along. I never let her know directly how I feel. And she hasn't either. Though we did exchange music in the past that essentially communicated it.
Just 30 minutes after talking, and I miss it already.
I have a gf, but we don't match as well. My gf knows this and would actually agree. But I'm bad at leaving relationships, leaving people. And we get along just well enough that both of us choose to stay. And besides, she had something similar with a coworker some years ago.
It's just torturous being reminded how well I get along with this other girl. I love seeing her, talking to her, learning more about her. It's annoying. I try to detach.
Maybe I'll tell her how I feel some day. Though I've always hoped she would be the one to. I'd rather communicate feelings with actions instead of words. I doubt she'll say it out loud. But really, we already know. It's just a confusing situation that I think neither of us knows what to do with.
A lot of people have been commenting on the poor economy from the US, Canada, UK, etc. Including myself. I see it in the job market. I see it at the company I work for which is has been barely making sales the past 6 months. I see it with the mass layoffs. I even see it with my therapist who lowered his rates, because times are tough.
Yet unemployment isn't high. And we're technically not in a recession, yet many say it feels like we're in one.
Can someone explain that?
Is it that our governments are simply lying about employment numbers?
Please enter this thread and discussion with an open mind.
This may look like a game.
It may feel like a game.
It make even feel as fun as a game (debatable).
But what this really is is an autism test. It's essentially a ranking of where one fits on the autism spectrum.
I don't know if this is by design, or if this game sort of discovered a new way to diagnose autism, or more so to diagnose one's exact position on the autism spectrum.
My sons, if you've been playing this game long enough, you know. 1000 ranked players are typically very mild in autism and thus average at the game. 1400 players are quite autistic. But 1600+? 1800+? 1800 players are as autistic as they come.
Now this is not something to put down autistic people. I am apparently quite autistic myself. Instead of getting fit, and going on dates with my girlfriend, I play robot chess. This post is simply being made to make people more aware of this new tool called Mechabeliumus, which can be utilized by psychologists world-wide to diagnose autism and where one fits on the spectrum.
The price keeps getting lower, and I wonder if one day it will become so low cost that I can pave my driveway in gold ingots. Like if it will become the commodity of the poor. Oh, look, dirt poor Ron has a gold watch - is he homeless or something? Gravel watches are whats hot.
I feel like my gold is starting to not justify its storage space. Like the space in my dresser drawer can be used on something better, like socks, or gravel. Thinking of crushing it and using it as kitty litter.
I meet with my company director every month, and we have a good relationship I think. He's been a bit of mentor to me within the company, and has a good attitude and is approachable.
I'm thinking of asking him if layoffs may come soon since I sense the company is doing bad. But I'm not sure if it's a smart play? Because then I may be viewed as a fearful, neurotic person or something.
And I want to follow up by asking him if lay offs were to happen how can I avoid being selected to be laid off? Like should I take on more responsibilities, or contribute to something specific more.
Do you think I should do this?
For reference, the director is my boss' boss. I have a feeling my boss is pre-emptively targeting me as the person who's going to be laid off if she's forced to choose someone on our team to lay off. Especially since I'm the last one to be hired on the team. I have a better relationship with the director (her boss).
