I don't have an ability to relate to or communicate with other human beings, nor much of anything I'm happy about in my past, present, or likely future.

Nor have I ever seen 2 chicks at the same time. Wanna trade?

I’d argue that you have that ability. We’ve been bullshitting on these forums for close to 10 years and your ability to communicate effectively has grown immensely, IMO, especially within the last year or two. But if you don’t believe you can relate or communicate, then that is going to be in your head when you need to do it and you’ll hold yourself back.

I’ve found this especially true for myself with stuff in the last few years with my mindset at how I perceive(d) myself at work. Being very introverted in person I struggled to ask for help when I ran into something I didn’t know how to do at work, and would just push things to the side or “forget” to do them and it came back to bite me in the ass several times. I asked a few friends for their advice and how they handle those situations and kind of modified what they said to something that I felt comfortable doing, and it’s completely changed my performance at work which led to me feeling more satisfied with my work. I feared being seen as stupid for asking questions, but the opposite turned out to be true. My last three supervisors/bosses have complimented me for asking questions and see it as taking charge and being humble. YMMV as every boss is different, but hearing that feedback has made it even easier to continue down that path.

Man, do I know this. I've had to force myself out of my introvert comfort zone at every job I've had to get up to speed quickly. At my current job, my boss told me in my first month that he was impressed how I didn't let any assignment trip me up. I view it as a goal...do whatever it takes to get an assignment done, which when new usually involves some awkward convos with strangers. I'm always surprised by how receptive and helpful people can be.

Then on the flip, when people come to ask me questions, I make it a point to be almost too helpful. Builds my trusted network of people at work, and also makes me an irreplaceable member of a team. There's been times where I didn't know the answer to a question, but knew who did from my earlier uncomfortable work...and help people make the connections that I had to force myself. It's treated me very well in my professional life so far.

It's like one of those Mastercard commercials,

Nutting on two sets of at the same time... Priceless!

Don't let a job stand between you and your dreams!

Bruh. You are a one income household with an income in the six figures. You are very much upper middle class.

Certainly feels lower when seemingly everyone else has rich family helping them out.

My sister and her husband having a rental property has nothing to do with me or anyone "helping me out". Pretty sure you grew up with more money than I did, family of 4-6 people with a household income of $40K. My parents helped me out with rent/meal plan in college but I paid all of the tuition myself with scholarship and loans. So fuck off with this trading lives bullshit, you control your own life.

You also get to do/purse whatever the hell you want because you're a kept man. You are the only person on this forum who is actually majority supported by their family.

In all seriousness, banging two chicks at once is pretty dang attainable.... could've been done for the same cost as all of the weird bike fitment parts or two Toyota 86 payments... I'm not saying this is an honorable thing to do, but if you'd really give up everything for it, go for it?

I for one have near zero interest in threesome activities or being a swinger it is just not my thing, nor does it have to be.

Re: free I earned some merit scholarships that made my education cost me $0 out of pocket. I made some good moves and my parents wanted to reward me for it. They were nowhere near but I was their only son and I was doing well for myself.

Doing the math... A night with our girlfriend costs about the same.

Nice dinner and drinks for three
Couple bottles of wine at home

Baby sitter or hotel room.

It adds up.

There are no free handouts in life, at least for the majority of us which includes you and the missus obviously. Still cheaper then one's worldly belongings

I can't leave the house with wife or kids in tow without blowing at least $100 along the way and I'm not having nearly that much fun when I spend it haha

Transportation doesn't exactly sound like a major luxury. I'm pretty sure that I'll help my kids with a car if they need it to get to work or school. Don't feel guilty about it really.

I won’t justify any privilege and admit that there is a fine line. However, just because we have all had specific circumstances does not mean that other parents/children are supposed to live in those exact ones as well.

I expect any parent to do whatever is within their power to help their child succeed (and that is an expectation because it is an inherent natural response). I will help my little one have the best chance at life no matter what that is. I won’t spoil her to the point where it ruins her, but discipline and nice things can be had, especially if the kid isn’t a brat.

Yeah man, I'm implimenting every advantage possible to give my kids the tools that they need to self-sufficient and successful. If it helps them to have a mode of transportation to get to a job then they can have it, or at least get part of it subsided, otherwise they are stuck in a catch 22: need car to keep job, need job to pay for car.

It is interesting to be able to observe my kid participating in her kindergarten class.

Or, you could mistreat them and deprive them and hope they marry into a wealthy family where the spouse has 3 free degrees and makes 3x the average household income in the country!

Winning!!!

Find the biggest kid in the room on day one and punch him in the face?

What’s her feedback so far on the virtual classroom? My SO’s two brothers (one in elementary and one in high school) say they dislike the virtual setting because it’s not as interactive and they miss the social aspect of school.

So far I think she’s more of a teacher’s pet type.

That’ll be an interesting question as this goes. It’s only day two, so no comments from her like that yet. Also, she’s really only had a semester and a half of preschool where she actually was in a class with other kids, since we had her in a bubble for a few years. So she also hasn’t had as much exposure to that kind of setting, maybe she won’t realize what she’s missing as a result.

Even though this place can be gloomy and depressing as hell. It gives me clarity that my life is really pretty fucking great.

I’m not as “successful” as [user not found] or Waxer but fuck it, my little family is happy and healthy. That makes me richer than all of King Midas’ silver.

And that my friend is true success.

So you're giving away all of your money and volunteering full time from here on out, instead of buying more and more expensive shit?

how is it going so far?

So far pretty good. It was probably much different in the spring, and I also imagine that there’s a little luck of the draw with what teacher you get. Couple little technical hiccups but nothing major.

She gets annoyed when she knows an answer and someone else gets called on lol

Jul and I were having a his discussion a few nights ago. If you're 60 and have been teaching one way for 35 years, this is probably a much harder transition than if you're 30.

Yeah her teacher is definitely younger, I imagine that generally helps a lot.
