Women tend to date men in similar roles
I realized that every man I dated fell into the same categories: lawyers, entrepreneurs, media people. I wasn't dating randomly. I was dating like I was auditioning versions of myself.
The lawyers were the disciplined, structured, type A side of me.
The entrepreneurs were my obsession with self-sufficiency.
The media/music producers etc. were the part of me that craved creativity.
Each one wasn't just a relationship, but was a question I was asking myself: Who do I actually want to become?
I didn't just date them for who they were.
I dated them for who they made me believe I could be.

@ClintFiore @PatrickHeizer Bingo! I dont understand why people rush to get theirs kids to bed so early. If they are in school they will basiclly spend no time with their parents. Sure the idea of having a few hours kid free at night sounds nice, but at what cost?
English
@PatrickHeizer the real hack is putting your kids to bed later so they sleep in later and you can both have quiet mornings. parents that put their kids down at like 7 or 8 always befuddle me. It's like they are asking for early morning kid chaos. They ain't gonna sleep 12 hours, duh.
English
Dads: a huge life hack is to be an early riser.
Handle the kids in the morning. Let your wife sleep as long as she wants.

I've noticed amongst friends who have little kids that they are basically forced into waking up when they do. When I was little I remember v clearly knowing that we shouldn't go and wake parents until at least 9am on a weekend, and generally entertaining ourselves in the morning

@DonMiami3 Oddly as oil gets more expensive nat gas get cheaper because they are a linked assets. (As a general statement.) It is still negatively priced in the Permian even with oil at $100 a barrel. As transport gets fixed over the next decade maybe that changes, but it won't happen quick

@debreuil @runaway_vol I once knew a woman who was a part time condor. Her feathers made great baffling.

the single most complex is still understanding women, semiconductors comes right after

Semiconductor manufacturing is currently the single most complex process humanity is capable of.

@MurrayHillGuy1 No no, they woke up much earlier but laid in bed with crippling anxiety until 11.

Day in the life of a “No Kings” protester
Wake up at 11
Iced matcha (with oat milk obviously)
Put on makeup
Define pronouns (changes daily)
Pick the most “oppressed” outfit possible (it’s designer)
Uber to the protest (give driver 3 stars for talking too much)
Take pics the entire time
Hold trump is bad sig
Leave early because “the vibes shifted”
Post 14 stories
Back home by 4:30 to take a nap
Exhausted from saving the world

@BickerinBrattle @MombasaEmir Ooo, I don't know about this. A link or something to look up?

Germany killed 80% of the Herero people and 50% of the Nama people in Namibia, stole and kept their land and shipped their skulls to Europe for research. You won't hear of this holocaust because it was an extermination of Africans
WELCOME TO BLACK TWlTTER @blacktwiterthrd
Hit me with the harshest reality truth.

What would you do with this space?
Running for HOA president just to fill it in but I don’t know what to do
English
@texasrunnerDFW But rent does not factor in rent increase with inflation which make a big difference over the life of the loan. I would argue a bigger difference. I have raised rent over 100% since 2007, and I still have one of the some of the same tenants. Expect something similar.
English
This “mortgage payment” doesn’t include the following;
Taxes, Insurance, Maintenance costs, HOA
This is not even remotely close to a fair comparison of “total shelter costs”
Pierre@PHfloor
I find the US housing market endlessly fascinating. So much more favorable to buy than rent from 2015-2022, and now a mortgage payment is about the same a renting.

@bigdumb_baby Oh no! I'm so sorry! I lost my dad when I was 30. Really rough and largely unexpected. :/ Here if you want to talk.

@Kevinmhegemann @texasrunnerDFW @MarketPalmer_ Like how many replies to your posts get comments or views or something? Shows more engagement with the topic and your post then started a spiral of conversations creating a network of communication and usage. Makes some sense to me.
English
@RyanGSpalding @texasrunnerDFW @MarketPalmer_ This makes a lot of sense for what I am seeing. There is a post getting a ton of attention. Then the poster responds to each post with very little thought to it.
I always think it is a bot and regularly block the poster.
It is funny if that is the payout structure.
English
Impressions: UP 240%
Engagements: UP 400%
Payout: DOWN 17%
No complaints here, but clearly not close to a reliable system (yet).
Grateful to be getting anything though 🤝
English
@texasrunnerDFW @MarketPalmer_ It seems beneficial to have a very clear reinforcement structure. It should be stated somewhere. I kind of feel like it should be comments on you post that provide value to the community or something like that. Even if it is complex and subjective they should outline the criteria
English
@MarketPalmer_ I always get roughly the same payout (or within $50-$100 difference) whether I have 1m impressions or 15 million
I don’t understand the system at all
English
@gregisenberg @CoopGOLFs It just 1000% depends on the person AND the spouse. What is your reason for working hard? Has that need been met now or is stifled? And does the spouse understand and encourage them when they need to sleep at the office or does she need all the attention, or just kill their mojo.
English
@CoopGOLFs nothing motivates a man more than when he has children and he wants to provide/lead by an example
did your co-founder have children?
English
my best friend and technical cofounder was 10x more engaged and productive when he was single
do with this information what you will

the "single until series b" trend has got to be one of the worst trends to come out of silicon valley in a long time my greatest joy is my wife, my child, and my business you can have it all
English
@Julie0076742091 @texasrunnerDFW @kitvolta It is a real problem in our culture now. People get tied up with their careers and a failed long term relationship or two and poof you are in your 40’s with no kids.
English
@texasrunnerDFW @kitvolta I guess they were too busy in tech, they forgot there is a real world out there
English
@Runzwildnfree @texasrunnerDFW @kitvolta And by age 35 you only have about a 50% success rate with one round of IVF, which is already pretty taxing and stressful especially for the woman.
English
@Runzwildnfree @texasrunnerDFW @kitvolta Why is that creepy? Maybe they want kids. There is like a 20% chance they will still need to do IVF at that age.
English
@texasrunnerDFW @kitvolta Gotta' get away from the cities. 57, recently divorced guy here having to rebuild and zero ***** being given. Up early with the sun and in the water. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

@jonbrooks I’ve had some of the same renters for 15-20 years. One month of not having a renter is huge. You could just charge $50-$100ish less than market, never have downtime, and get better renters. It is tough at first, but there are unspoken positives of not raising rents every year.
English
@Mr_Derivatives Yet people see downside risk as equal to upside risk. It is not. Especially with big swings. Risk has fat tails, and downside is worse, plan according.
English
Friendly reminder a -84% drop means you will need a +525% return now to get back to breakeven.
Not impossible. But certainly will be a challenge and will take a long time.
