What types of jobs are these 16-24 year olds doing in education?

Should be fine.

Another example of how critical it is to pay attention to language is this - “That went from, at the beginning of this year, an issue that never came up — people were totally happy with the amount they were spending — to all of a sudden, a huge issue”. He never says anything about prices going up or the lack of ROI these customers are seeing. It’s almost like he’s implying that nothing has changed so why are they complaining now? This is the same type of language that fools investors into believing the insane stories some of these companies spin.

Ok, great. I understand the position you’re in. It can get lonely being by yourself and can be a heavy weight. And just about everyone has been stung by rejection and it can hurt like hell. But it’s so important to temper your expectations until you can draw things out naturally. And even if this person does like you and would like to date you, you’re going to put a ton of pressure on them if you burst out and say “I love you” right away. And even if you’re in a group with them it should be easy to find a moment when just the 2 of you are together and start a conversation about something. Or open a door for them, or offer them something you’re eating. Be attentive but not overbearing. And then maybe see if they’re open to doing something just with you. See a movie, play a video game together, go to a museum … Just be cool. So instead of saying “I love you”, say, “I had a great time”. See what happens from there!

I’ll probably be dead soon so that’s my plan.

Midsommar freaks me out the more I think about that movie. I mean, the guy in the bear suit at the end about to be burned alive but he’s completely paralyzed but can see, hear, and feel everything?

You can explain everything about the world to a child by reason alone. And once they become rational themselves they’ll be able to determine that since there is no evidence at all for any god ever existing they can dispense with that fairytale.

Your post really made me laugh for some reason.

A father has never been in my life so I don’t even think about it.

No.

Hold on. Do you talk to and interact with this person in real life? Has this person done anything at all that might make you think they like you?

I’m waiting for all the “it’s supposed to be hot in the summer” comments.

Hopefully not while driving.

Fucking Reddit.

I’m sure this current administration and some oligarchs have been, and are, doing everything in their power to know as much about each of us as possible. With AI and some Doge ‘behind the scenes’ work, a bad actor could say “I want to know everyone who shows even a slight bent to the left” so we can target them." Control and manipulation is the point. Everyone reading this is a target. And I’m sure I’ll be bumped up on their ‘people to be concerned about’ list after writing this.

Thanks, mate!

How high does it get you compared to non-home grown and more recently grown trees?

Why doesn’t someone just go tear that thing down and have someone standing by to take pictures? We need to see a full frontal picture showing the remnants of Trump’s name with the remaining name still in place. That would be a propaganda goldmine image that could be all over the Internet as long as it was framed as an example of removing the stain of the Trump administration from our lives.

You’re a scientist who can’t spell or use proper grammar?

I’ve never heard this. Jealous of what?
