Hardest part is going, being open to new types of clubs, and sticking to it.
I would say that volunteer work is generally a better experience as well for both things.
Like you said, clubs focus on the thing where good volunteer work is both about the work and the people.
The point of hobbies and activity based social gathering is that you can focus on the activity until you’re comfortable enough with the people around you to talk to them. It’s fine if it takes a month or two to open up and engage more!
If you’re looking to date, just make sure the type of person you’re interested in would be in those same groups.
Nah fuck that. If someone takes and interest in you and you have the capacity for it then go for it. Just don’t stop working on yourself. Probably want to avoid apps though, those won’t help your mental health.
E: it’s good to make clear early on what the other person is getting into though. That’s just part of communication and trust building, you know, the foundation of a relationship.
Power market’s going to get real funky in over the next 6 months as utilities run out of runway on their renewable programs.
100% fair, that’s my current issue. Honestly it’s bullshit they even charge for the first session.
Speaking from US context, and referencing your other post.
“Hey do you want to go on a coffee date?”
There’s little words or statements that can act as indicators which are direct/specific yet not pushy. You need to take the risk and be at least a little direct. You also need to be able to receive and handle rejection well.
Social setting means a place you are both at voluntarily and not as a course of daily needs such as a party, concert, book club, barbeque, club, etc. Anything not income/job-related for either party. Not the grocery store, not the bus, not the DMV.
Reading signs of interest in you:
These are signs, not invitations. You still need to ask about their intentions, and express yours in some way. Always form enthusiastic consent. If they’re not clearly enthusiastic then either ask their intentions very directly or move on.
I am not providing advice on sex at all here, too complicated and situational especially around consent.
e: formatting
No need to resign if you’re terminated.
Also taking the courts time is obviously inefficiency /s
Yeah you definitely want to be around supportive and emotionally reliable and safe people your first time. Set and setting are extremely important.
Also just dip your toes in. You don’t need to leave the planet. If the people you’re with are pushing you to take them in the first place they’re the wrong people.
Unless you have symptoms of schizophrenia or similar you’re pretty safe with those guidelines.
Sounds a therapist problem and not a therapy problem. Not that therapy is perfect nor always the solution, just that you didn’t receive any.
A therapist that claims to know it all or makes promises that they can help you (esp. Short term) is just a licensed grifter. Can that fucker and find one that gives a shit.
The most significant factor for success in therapy is that the therapist has a similar condition to yours and they’re engaging in therapies that worked for them. Next it’s important they look like you (share your demographic somehow). Your dedication comes immediately after that.
Honestly, if you’re in the US especially, mutual aid might at least be interesting. You can try Food Not Bombs or MADR or a regional/local org.
There’s pscilocybin or MDMA for a break from the shitshow or even a guiding light.
Therapy is kind of difficult since it’s expensive and you need to sift through multiple therapists to find one that clicks with you. It’s the most likely thing to benefit you as long as you find the right one. Maybe antidepressants will help?
At the end of the day you have to choose something to do for meaning. Change is going to take months or years. Silver bullets are the rare exception.
Huh… Just thought it was odd.
I mean, not having a real platform beyond business as usual, ignoring the cost of living crisis, and expressing a commitment to continued genocide were particularly large factors.
Really just ctr+c/v’d your own comment, huh?
Kerry/Manchin.
She might be a popular option but she doesn’t want the job.
Granted the DNC “changed the rules” but are you forgetting the super-delegates overruling the majority votes in the primaries in 2016?
I don’t care what machine it is in not using pleasantries to tell it what to do until it gains sentience. Pleasantries are for people.
Thus does become an issue for me when i use a call a support line and the actual person just happens to talk like a recorded menu.
No. The heat of combustion increases the gas temperature. But this temperature increase is relative to the mass of the gas. The heat is relative to fuel/oxygen mass combusted. (Combustion energy + Ideal gas law)
Add mass without adding combustion, you get lower pressure and temperature out. So you get less boost from the turbo and make more work for the compression cycle.
The major point of the turbo is to use wasted heat to add more oxygen by packing more air in. So it’s a bit of an odd question to answer. The point is there’s a lot of energy wasted in a naturally aspirated engine’s exhaust. Turbos mostly use that wasted energy, and not power from the crank.
Oh yeah, the turbo is going to have an efficiency ratio for converting exhaust pressure into boost. So that added backpressure on the exhaust is going to be offset in the intake stroke by that ratio. Not important to the point, hat a tidbit. These things are so complicated lol.
That’s the fun part, if there’s too many signals it all just looks like noise!
