Stranger...|||Wait - as a model or as a consumer?  I haven't modeled for them, but I FAR prefer chaturbate. It's much less of a quid pro quo attitude there. The people come and go as they please, and the filters...|||Definitely not here in the US. ...|||I feel amazing. Cheerful, upbeat, optimistic.|||Yeah, that'll work.

It just seems that I see the sort of deep-thoughts that can't be expressed because language amont INTPs a lot. Maybe they have...|||This so much.|||Sounds more like an INTP problem, maybe.|||If you do something with better pay, will you gain (enough) more time to pursue something creative?

Still working on tier 2 and 3 of the hierarchy of neeeds, much to my dismay.|||I understand, and I can relate a lot. I've spent most of the last 5 years incredibly lonely.

It's a stimulant, depressant, and lastly a hallucinogen. It also has quite the opiod-like effect on most people.  B3LIAL My only advice is to have...|||I should have also mentioned that my #1 like is telling me a story I haven't heard before.|||Actually, that is a recent development. A lot of people who started in the engineering field 40 years ago don't have a degree - electrical engineering among them.   Can we agree to this - Having a...|||You're assuming that a college degree is a requirement. This is basically propaganda. There are lots of semi-skilled jobs that you can train for and get into within a year that pay around $20 an...|||I used to think that, but I've found that, like there are no translations for certain words from another language (schadenfreude for example), there are no concise ways to convey some ideas expressed...|||Like: Novel ideas, witty conversation, conversation written in italics and without names when it's clear who's speaking, plot twists, the unexpected, characters who are logical but still human,...|||I can't tell you exactly what the job market is like, but I think pure math actually has an employability advantage over applied math because it's more theoretical and less technical.
