  • Codeday Hackathon back in high school.

    So were all a bit awkward at socializing because we’ve had less practice at it. Add onto this the fear that women feel due to bad men, and the worry that the good men feel about being perceived as one of the bad men and it gets difficult. My advice is to stop worrying about romance for a little bit and let it come to you.

    Focus on becoming more social in non romantic ways; it’s a lot easier.

    If your not at the point of maturity that you can be platonic friends with a straight woman (not knocking you just some straight people aren’t especially if they’re love starved), then try and befriend a local lesbian, they can teach you a lot about women’s perspectives.

    You’ll eventually find that women, by in large, are just people born into a certain set of circumstances. It wont be easy, but once you are confident in your own skin and stop worrying romance will probably find you. Good luck!




  • Sometimes you’re overwhelmed, and that’s ok, if the person is toxic then it’s ok to ghost them. However, if you just don’t enjoy their conversation, or have better things to do, as an adult you have the moral obligation to let them know you’re not going to be responding. It’s as easy as “I’m busy so won’t be able to respond to messages as frequently”. It’s not hard, and it’s nice, and it keeps people from feeling sad. If they react to that message in a bad way then that’s on them.

    Edit(this does depend on communication style though, I have some friends that we just send each other messages every few months like pen pals in days of yore)


  • I am not an expert I. This field so I can’t really make assertions about it. At the same time, I generally understand how the science process works for my field (Bio tech/CS). It seems like a cure for many chronic diseases would be novelty, and researchers really want novelty so they can produce papers than people cite, so they can get grants.

    Given this; and I only gave it a cursory look, why hasn’t this been picked up by a university? It seems cheap and approval always takes time.

    Second, what motive does the FDA have to stall an effective medicine? So again I can’t argue one way or the other about the actual science, I don’t have the expertise. But Occam’s razor seems to point to this being slightly bogus.
