Social skills, as the name implies, are meant to be trained, maintained, and expanded over a lifetime so don't discount yourself because you feel like you're too old or have tried and failed for too long. Have you considered seeking behavioral therapy? Perhaps you're not picking up on the myriad non-verbal social cues that could help you better inform your conversations. Behavioral therapy can help identify where you're lacking and give you the opportunity to practice skills and receive feedback from a professional.
I sincerely wish you the best of luck.
You don't need to give explicit details of your coworkers' lives, but from your writing it really seemed to me that you were more interested in mechanically optimizing conversation. This isn't necessarily a bad perspective, but people already do that organically by understanding each other more and learning their history. The route of good conversation follows logically from there through empathy.
You're descriptions kind of make your coworkers like NPCs. If you want to have better conversations you should probably get to know them better as people. That can allow you to understand the why of their particulars and eventually guide your conversations more organically.
Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I'm not a VPN user so I'm not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products
As far as I understand it, proton is about the last VPN option you can trust with port forwarding
Could you explain this part please? What makes them untrustworthy?
Fantastic, thanks for this. Any reason you didn't go to 17?
Respect to her for coming out of that role with a clear perspective. The whiplash to Little Women sounds really rough. Such good performances from her in both too.
The latest builds broke that for me. It crashes completely when I try.
If the feeling is in your gut and not your ass it may be too deep.
"Yoked to the max"
(Or just "yoked")
I've been liking Magneto as well, but I hate his sound design. There's nothing about it that tells you his powers have anything to do with magnetism or controlling metal. He sounds like he has generic fantasy psychic powers
If you want to reduce how audible you are outside your room you can add some sound dampening material to your walls and door and seal air cracks around your door. Those black spiked foam wall panels or heavy curtains are probably best for sound dampening, but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.
It's true that playing for money is a huge part of playing poker at all, both casually and professionally. Does that mean a game just teaching poker hands should be considered as adult as actual gambling? If so, a game like The Binding of Isaac should get the same 18+ as Balatro since it has actual slot machines that you put money into, but instead it gets a 16+.
Agreed that it's ridiculous, but there are plenty of other games out there that are less objectionable, like ones that are played almost exclusively by kids.
According to the article, he was only there because he was a falling risk and was waiting for a LTC spot. What reason would they have to not only cut his hair, but also throw away his personal belongings? It makes no sense
How is it different from any other subtitling?
