Yeah. Another responder pointed this out and it’s fair - I am childfree and my job isn’t a related feel, so all I’ve got is the one observation.

That’s fair. It’s hard for me to comment on that as I’m child free. I can definitely tell the difference, but I can’t really see why; that’s all speculation.

Hiring manager for about 11 years. You can see something has changed with the younger Gen Z folks who were locked down in Covid instead of doing whatever you do at college. You could construe it as an issue with social skills, but it’s not quite that. I don’t even know how to describe it… the work ethic is just different and they get surprised when they are told they’re not performing wildly above average.

Step 1: don’t be subtle.

“Hey boss, I wanted to talk to you about working towards a promotion. Can we spend our next 1-1 going through the career ladder together so we can see where I am and what needs to be done to get to the next level?”

Simple and easy. Yes, actually. The only managers who don’t appreciate this are the ones you need to run away from, because they will never promote you.

I think you underestimate just how many women would say what you did and expect him to pay. You tripped over a landmine. You may not have meant it that way, but when you’re on the receiving end of comments like that fairly often, you begin to assume it is meant exactly the way he took it.

Don’t forget the modern dating market is chock full of rejects, making the socially well adjusted like us harder to find.

Why are you censoring Reddit? Come on. Wtaf?

Hm.

I dated a pastry chef. Desserts happened, hugs were given to say thank you.

I dated a woman who crocheted. She made me a poring. I had it until I was forced to get rid of it (mold issue). I liked it.

I dated a woman who knitted. I still have my hats and my scarves. I don’t wear anything other than those.

I think it may just be the men you’re dating…?

Steel rotor, regular stator. Same input lines, makes the logistics easy.

Because we have generally decided that casual flirting is creepy, that talking to strangers is taboo, and that apps designed to fail to make connections are the only way to meet people.

Legit dunno how to meet my kinda people and meet people those people know and hit it off the old fashioned way.

You need a hug, bro?

But also, I feel that.

Nah, if you can’t distinguish between… that… and well adjusted men with nerd hobbies, and then over generalize to the whole population, I don’t know what to tell you.

Also your avatar is an anime character, so…

There comes a stage where your dupes just don’t have much to do except the last few jobs that can’t be done via game mechanics. Some ranching jobs, some operating jobs, cooking, etc. You should have a decent surfeit of duplicant time to work with.

Guy here.

I only go on coffee dates as the first date for people I don’t know beforehand. Too many women treat dating as a way to get free dinners. Proposing coffee and having it rejected is an easy way to see if the person I’ve been talking to is actually looking for someone to date, or if they just want to be paid for.

So, are you looking for someone to date, or is dating itself a hobby so you can get free food?

Ha, I’m the exact opposite. I won’t take a dupe without three interests. You can train skills to max, but morale is much harder to come by early on.

The cadence.

Single sentence paragraphs, like I’m doing here to demonstrate what I mean.

Narrative story elements with too-frequent climaxes and turning points, like an actual story… a fictional one.

Rage bait content where we feel good for the protagonist because they one-up the villain, who is so comically evil that it beggars belief… since they often have cartoon villain level ignorance of basic social or legal concepts that the protagonist can turn the script on them in an obvious way.

Yall, please don’t upvote AI slop. It makes the problem worse.

Or, pasteurize the egg (the cooking temperature is actually above the pasteurization temperature), then you can drink it. Basically zero loss if you put some water in afterwards and drink that too.

Also, it tastes great. Pasteurized eggs >> cooked eggs

It is not the best chair you can buy. These are awful. Source: have used one in offices for 16 years, never liked them.

That’s not the wallet test. The wallet test is whether you even reach for it at all, which you did, so you passed. He’s a dolt.

I spent a long time dating the wrong person.

Don’t. When you know there’s a problem, and you talk about it (like the correct half of advice you get on reddit), and they not only refuse to change but outright deny the problem in the first place… no, lads, you can’t fix that.

Liberal guy. I put liberal. Why wouldn’t I?

If it doesn’t say liberal, they’re not liberal. How far down the conservative rabbit hole they go, only they can tell you, but if they were liberal, they’d say so.

Dawg if you’ve got an exploit the community doesn’t know about, you’ve got to post a short tutorial! Thems the rules. I don’t make ‘em.

I’m only familiar with the method of using pips to auto plant seeds to subdivide and duplicate. I’m not aware of any pip-only methods and can’t find any via google. Do you have a link?

They’re usually more my type because we share values, so that’s the kind of woman I’m holding out for. I’ve dated women who weren’t as successful (to a significant, not marginal, degree) and it has always been an issue.

Mutant seeds are duplicatable - you can make more by farming. You cannot farm wheezeworts or Saturn traps, and those are the seeds marked indivisible
