  • Funny thing is this is actually a very good idea

    One of the best things you can do on realizing you're lost is find a spot that's safe to sit still in and wait for someone to come looking.

    Practicing a perfect circle sounds like a marvelous way to waste time until the rangers get to you from your last known location!

  • Look man, that's a damn rough shake, but one thing worth considering is that people aren't really done "growing up" until their mid 20s at best. It was probably a lot less that you weren't the catch you thought you were and probably a lot more that you just got unlucky drew a lot of people who weren't as ready for a relationship as you were.

    Take it from me, job hunting was miserable for me, but it taught me an incredibly valuable lesson for myself. My worthiness has nothing to do with if people are rewarding me for the effort to be a worthy person. I had a perfect résumé, and gave a perfect interview, but I never got hired until I stopped barking up the tree I thought I was gonna spend my life climbing, because all the qualification in the world just isn't gonna mean shit against pure bad luck, and it sounds like you sir had a whale's load of bad luck.

    If it's been 10+ years since giving up, it might be time to start looking again. Stay the ever loving fuck away from online dating though, shit will retraumatize you in minutes, look for social events in your area that suit your personal hobbies and interests, but also, go looking for friends and not necessarily lovers, depending on your interests folks you find attractive might feel put upon if someone's getting the moves on immediately after meeting them at a fun hobby thing.

    Fun thing about friends to lovers is that if you realize it wouldn't work romantically, you still got this cool friend person to do fun shit with!

  • Honestly convincing my dad is the hard part, he's still pulling for me to be a tech wiz set for life with a developer job, but I haven't written an original project since before the plague hit, and I haven't had much real hope of beating the HR bot resume roulette wheel since before even that.

    Now I'm wondering if I should try back for an IT cert in my management training or just lean into having been good enough at arithmetic and go for a cert in accounting to focus less on career ambitions and more on just having food on the table and putting my dream energy into something else outside of work hours.

  • Not actually sure if Palestinians still do clan structure.

    Palestine has historically been an incredibly urban region and Palestinian dialect is significantly different from dialects spoken by arabs in regions where clan structure is more entrenched.

  • Well one big fix would be to make legal services free at point of services and instead make the government responsible for paying the salaries of lawyers.

    Call it Justice for All like Medicare for All but more patriotic sounding and litigious.

    Kills SLAP suits, and opens the gates for people who had legitimate grievances but were scared of the legal fees and costs to have access to their day in court.

  • OK.

  • Tyson IMO went service industry worker crazy without the usual pressure of getting fired for talking back or snarking at the customers.

    Because being tapped to be the new Science Communicator Supreme sounds like a huge honor until you realize you're now cursed to constantly be dealing with having to rehash the same bullshit you've long since lost interest in because of repetition over and over again on morning news shows, when you're not instead dealing with Stephen Colbert trying to Checkmate Atheists you over your own field of study.

  • Because generally where the West can extend their communications the people tend to provoke change for the better.

    Cutting Russia off entirely for the troll farms is locking Russians into a Russian curated echo chamber, or a least doing that to an even worse extent than Putin is already trying to do himself.

  • Base 36 counting becomes predominant.

    Also the point at which hundred changes over to thousand gets pushed back by a power, so 6KL2 is Sixty Kay Hundred Elty Two, while 8,A59G is Eight Thousand Ayty Five Hundred Ninety G. Same with the changeover to Millions, Billions, Trillions, etc.

    Probably wouldn't change that much practically, but it'd make "Ten" a square that's also the product of two prime squares, and it's divisible by a lot more ways than the current number base, and it makes "One Thousand" the square of "One Hundred" the same way "One Hundred" is the square of "Ten" and that "One Million" is the square of "One Thousand."

  • I'm pretty sure it would result in the US internet being isolated from the rest of the worlds'

    Which actually works against Putin since that means his troll farms also get cut off, meaning less new material for the useful idiots to keep other useful idiots freshly indoctrinated with.
