Try upwork.com. I don't think it's mandatory to disclose your mental illness there, is it?

You feel bad. It's perfectly fine, more than fine, in fact. Tell yourself it's good for you to feel what you're feeling right now. Because it is . Now, what are you feeling like you want to do? Does it hurt other people? N

As an Asian man - If I was single and I "hit on" a woman on the street once a day, it's more likely than not I'll be in a relationship within the month. It's not that hard, I often wonder how easy it is for non-Asia

Same for me for all sorts of anxious situations like exams, speeches, even computer games. Plan meticulously. Then, moments before entering the situation, deliberately tell myself to throw everything I've prepared away and react to eac

In my mind mostly. I keep track of the big pieces - the university debt, the stock portfolio, the bank account balance. On the day I get paid, I take out a chunk to repay debt, and take out a chunk to move to the portfolio, and whatever I h

Yes, having a iMac instead of a windows in the home, with a parent who forbid me from playing games but allowed me to write my own, made a lot of the difference. My peer group was not interested in anything to do with computers besides worl

The nearest star is the Sun. With a giant Sun nearest to Earth, it's impossible for the number of stars to go up proportionally as distance to Earth increases. There isn't 4 suns at 2 AU, and at 100000 light years wide, with 63000

Maybe there's no hard-coded login inside a human brain that says "this is a human being, do not eat him" - but rather, the repulsion to eat something could be proportionally related to perceived easiness that thing could have

That's true. The value of a painting is the painting in and of itself. You can have a piece of a paper with "$1B" written on it, but that's meaningless in world where the painting is the only wealth.

I guessed a word I never heard of, "Phytolaccaceae"! Learnt a new word today. It's a group of flowering plants. Thanks for doing this write up. The functional style of the code reminded me of Haskell.

It's fine. If your mind wanders off after 15 minutes then the idea wasn't that interesting anyway. There's no requirement in life to be more productive than necessary. Spend your time to enjoy it and go wherever your mind wan

I used my good income job to rent a three room bedroom apartment, and rent out 2 of the rooms. I pay < $100 a week on bills and housing, and I live in a city where the median house price is > $1m.

Yes, I agree. It's important not to chase for an "more equitable society" thinking you can work less, have better stuff, have a better working environment. You're trading extrinsic benefits for intrinsic benefits. Be pre
