I feel like this is less true for women.

A true power move.

- Comment on What do office workers actually do? 1 day ago:
I help our customers make their business processes less stupid, time consuming and riddled with errors. Practically speaking it means I go to meetings, documentation process changes, build out business process automations, and attempt to convince an unwilling workforce that no, 17 spreadsheets is not the only or best way to run a business (change management).
- Comment on What are some countries you’ve visited that shocked you with unexpected friendliness? 2 weeks ago:
Turkey! I had such a wonderful visit there as a teen in no small part because of the locals we met.

Not in the nineties, you couldn’t. 😉
- Comment on You finally figure that mysterious voice commanding you is not the devil 3 weeks ago:
This change in perspective is one of my favorite things about folks who are younger than me. Kudos for putting this kind of misogyny behind us.

Dan Savage had some good advice a while back:
Your awkward/repulsive stage will pass. In the meantime, here’s what you need to do: worry less about getting your young teenage self laid and start thinking about getting your 18- or 20-year-old self laid. Join a gym and get yourself a body that girls will find irresistible, read—read books—so that you’ll have something to say to girls (the best way to make girls think you’re interesting is to actually be interesting), and get out of the house and do shit—political shit, sporty shit, arty shit—so that you’ll meet different kinds of girls in different kinds of settings and become comfortable talking with them.
It is much easier to talk to someone when you have something to talk about.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 4 weeks ago:
Many democracies form coalitions between smaller parties to create a majority voting block - the US just does it before the election.

OMG. Which AI tool produced this?
- Comment on I've evaluated my net worth to be over 100,000,000 (based on the appreciation of my beanie baby collection) so laws don't apply to me anymore. 5 weeks ago:
Congrats! I deeply regret not investing in beanie babies when I had the chance.
- Comment on Found at work. Send help. 5 weeks ago:
Yup, actual formula. Might not even be the most offensive one in the spreadsheet.

- Comment on Why some people go full grey hair in their 30s? 1 month ago:
I’m pretty sure it’s genetics.
With respect to the other stuff, women are coached from a very early age to be attractive and aging is looked down on. There are industries dedicated to making (mostly) women more attractive. There are studies showing attractive women are more successful in the workplace. But my experience is that working is not as stressful as full-time homemaking/parenting - so I think you are a bit off track there.

This made me absurdly happy.

Apples are so fascinating! There is a fun section of this documentary on them: m.imdb.com/title/tt1421383/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
- Comment on How do we know this is actually Earth, and not just some torture chamber in Hell and we are just being punished? 1 month ago:
Descartes’ evil demon strikes again. 😉
- Comment on is telling an employee how he has to speak micromanaging? Is it toxic? 1 month ago:
I train people on how to speak (to executives, during a presentation, with clients) all the time. In my line of work, a client can end a contract if they don’t like engaging with my team - so it is pretty relevant to the job.
- Comment on Up for it; down for it. Same thing 2 months ago:
English is a beautifully confusing language.
- Comment on I'm tired boss 2 months ago:
Btw, this look would be after I put time into my makeup and hair.
- Comment on Would you consider me a “dry texter”? 2 months ago:
A conversation should go back and forth with questions and comments. Your text example was one person doing their part, but you did not do yours. Calling it “dry” was pretty kind of them. This is unfriendly bordering on rude.
- Comment on I would let a chip be installed in my brain if it would allow me to erase memories of the games I have played to play them again as the first time. 2 months ago:
Haha, probably. Unless you are this guy: forbes.com/…/man-sues-bethesda-because-fallout-4-…

That is very Eternal Sunshine of you…
- Comment on How do I find companies that want to outsource their jobs? 2 months ago:
Yes. For example there are many companies in India serving clients in the US. So you would need to know how you differentiate yourself from them. We work with a company who does graphic design, and their big value prop is their ability to snap to US business practices. So, they are more expensive that some, but they create an easy way to work with them. They also work 12 hours difference, which is handy. In contrast, I have worked with people in Columbia, who are roughly in the same time zone. Their big value is price.
- Comment on How do I find companies that want to outsource their jobs? 2 months ago:
A few questions: where are you and where do you want your clients to be? What services do you offer, and how do they differ from competing outsourcing companies?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
So there is this feature where you can focus the AI on a specific file when generating responses. If that file contains only your own digital art, is the AI art produced yours? Not saying that’s what you found, but maybe there is some nuance to AI art creation.
- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 3 months ago:
I think you should ask men to smile more (like at the grocery store or gym) and see how it goes. 😉

Enterprise resource planning. No too much erotic about it. Probably for the best…

Just choose any of these things and participate with him. You could take him to a bookstore or library if he likes reading. Learn to cook steaks together (or teach him). Play Minecraft together. Have him show you how to knit (or take him to the store for knitting supplies). Watch YouTube tutorials on something he likes.
I get it, I have a kiddo that is super into in ground sprinkler systems and space heaters. Sometimes it is hard to find a way to participate.

Second best: telling your former boss to do a full rip and replace of their ERP system (they didn’t, bad things happened) and now they’ve hired you as a consultant to advise on the implemention if the new ERP system at $20k/month.
