Try to work on learning how to communicate effectively. I used to say the wrong thing a lot. I thought I was being open and honest, but really, I just put my foot in my mouth.

There’s no guidebook to do this well. You just learn by wanting to do it better and time allowing you to learn from your mistakes.

I wish you the best!

You know what? Yeah, except that my boss would be like, you’re not Caesar in this relationship.

I mean, yes, but no?

And they drove a bunch of cool trucks and everyone was happy to see them. /s

I didn’t find the video of the guy yelling at them to fuck off and go away from his balcony, but if anyone has a link, it was pretty good.

Well, they were the peoples’ cars. Guess the peoples’ tanks is just as good.

I came to recognize certain ticks that indicate that I’m in a manic state. For example, I randomly make a sound popping my tongue on the roof of my mouth. I have a different level of nervous energy that expresses through bouncing my foot or similar movement (different from what happens otherwise; I can feel it more than I can explain it). I have a more rapid delivery of speech. Also, it feels really good when I’m manic. I started to recognize mania and get excited for extreme productivity before the horrible burnout a few times before I was willing to actively suppress it. Oh, and racing thoughts.

There are other flags, I can’t recall them. There’s a medication that helps knock me down and I haven’t had a full-blown manic episode in years. I had to go through a bunch of manic episodes before I could identify the symptoms. I literally thought I’d never be able to control it and became extremely depressed. If you’re going through the same, please know that you can learn to manage your condition with time and lead a “normal” life.

Best answer. We can sell it!

I believe in you.

Your coworkers are stupid, shitty fathers. Go be with your kid.

Fiver. Taskrabbit. That’s the quick short-term solution.

And block the ones that are filled with content you don’t want. I’ve spent the last six months or so fine tuning my feed and see lots of stuff that’s interesting to me and very little that I don’t want.

This is wonderful news.

I don’t talk about work unless the other person brings it up. I stick with, how’s it going or how’s life. What’s been going on with you since last time? Whatcha been up to?

Keep practicing having a natural conversation but try not to think of it as practice. I was super socially awkward when I was younger and have only gotten better at it with time. It gets easier.

I’m not. I’m collecting images of all these in other countries to protest USA to send in an email to my mother who voted for this shit.

Thanks for that.

Thank you for being courteous and trying to keep up decorum.

Mr Burns is wandering in the woods again.

I love projects like this. It’s way harder to do in Bash, but that’s what makes it interesting. The unnecessary effort to do it right shows real skill.

Depending on your skillset, YCombinator has a who’s hiring thread on the first Monday of each month.
