Yep. If you try looking at new dating apps, the main complaint from users as they leave negative reviews is this: "I couldn't find anyone in my area. There were 3 profiles in my area and that was it." I think that's why

You’re on the money so far. I’d add peptides as a separate category in there. They’re not as well known. Steroids/PEDs already covers things like SARMs and some other stuff people will inject to get advantages. It’s insane that I have

I’d argue that it’s not just online dating apps that are struggling. I think as a culture we’re struggling. Dating apps are just an indicator of that. I’m currently on a self-improvement journey where I’m literally now injecting “research c

I found speed dating and mixer events to be absolute terrible for the under 35 crowd. Obviously, ymmv, but I remember hearing from my own head and other people as we all left these events “why didn’t we just talk to the women at the bar? Th

To be more balanced on this, I don't think that many are making <=$150k/yr if they're in NYC/Seattle/SF and are in engineering. I think many are making $300-400k/yr but have a high workload. Levels gives a c

> Yes, that's why you go to large megacorps. I wouldn't go to Oracle, IBM, Google, Facebook, MS, etc. etc. if I had a "huge fire or a drive to win". Honestly, I go there because I wanna work 5 hours a day (less if pos

Just world fallacy. Nearly everyone in this sphere of life is victim to such a fallacy. I know many men who put in high effort and are not rewarded. Meanwhile I’ve seen men who actively sabotage and have women throwing themselves at them. T

People with full bellies will give this same advice if you're starving. "Food will appear when you least expect it!"

I’d be wary of following almost any romantic advice out there. People who are best qualified to give advice tend to give the least cause they know how little use there is in advice. This creates a scenario where the least useful advice is t

The US is also very expensive place to live. If you don’t get with someone similar to yourself, you’re sandbagging your financial situation. Most people can’t afford a single income household here in the US.

A phone, a book, a movie, a show, hobbies, exercise… they’re all going to be parts of “avoidance behavior”. Often though, some issues in life are not resolvable through some simple analysis and avoiding thinking about the issue might really

Well, in my experience, these are quite uncommon. Especially for being fully remote. If someone's offering $500k/yr to an engineer plus stock, they're definitely trying to attain someone with very niche skills. Which begs the

I’d say you’re uncommon. I’ve never seen anyone who is a typical engineer making $250k/yr at a startup that’s below $1B valuation. Same for the amount of work you’re doing and that it’s remote with that compensation. It’s possible you’

I’ve had similar experiences. My most alarming ones though were getting up in the morning, my partner beaming at me, and she sees my face and goes, “ah, you don’t remember last night do you? I figured you might still be asleep!” We’d have s

Doesn’t really help if you’re going out to places and there’s nowhere to bring your bike into. E.g. a restaurant.

People who continually get rewarded at their companies (higher level positions, promotions, etc.) tend to stay at said companies. That’s all you’re seeing. I’ve seen folks go from new grad to staff in under 4 years at FAANG. They just had a

Where are you working that it’s white males? 80% of my colleagues are Chinese and Indian. This is usually the case at most of my jobs that aren’t early stage startups.

It is extremely not common, lol. I’ve done startups myself and it’s not common in any contracts I’ve signed nor have my coworkers. If it was, we all wouldn’t be able to start our own companies.

Considering a shit ton of employees in SV are working on their own projects in their spare time, start their own companies, and moonlight - I don't think this is as common in contracts as you're making it out to be. The example is

Oh cool. I'm not firing any of my employees then. I'm just saying, "Hey, you can continue working here as long as you work for free! No benefits either, haha! You're totally not fired though - just gotta work for free! D

A PIP is almost always a formal nothingburger as a paperwork enforced means to get someone fired. Very often the goals of PIPs are either ridiculously high or nonsensically vague as to be interpreted in whatever way that would please the pe

> Firing is when you aren't given a choice. Actually, that's not what it is. Your boss can be like, "Hey, you can continue working here but you will need to take a 50% paycut." You say, "Uh, no." So, you end

None of this is about kids. No one cares about the kids. It’s about finding a boogeyman to exploit for control.

It’s a good strategy for someone who doesn’t care about vehicles and mostly sees them as a point A to B thing. That’s not how many Americans view vehicles though. They view them as a reflection of themselves and as a status item. $50k to yo

Women’s sexuality also doesn’t really line up with how dating apps work. Almost every dating app out there now is based around Grindr’s original formula. Show a few photos and about three sentences of text. It’s completely catered to men’s
