Have you tried...

You can be an introvert and be talkative, and you can be an extrovert and be shy.

It's all how you recharge your social battery.

I consider myself to be an introvert, but I'm very talkative in social situations. Sometimes I can't shut the fuck up. When I'm done hanging out though, I'm sitting in a dark room for a few days playing video games not hanging with anyone.

I worked with a guy who drove 50 miles to come into the office just so he could be around people, but hardly said anything to anyone.

It happens...

Whenever I see something like this I feel I must defend my friend who's a cop.

Before being a cop he was a lifeguard at a beach and my bassist.

Baywatch may tell you differently, but being a lifeguard is a seasonal job, and not a career. The next level of being a lifeguard is becoming a cop, so he did, and he has only beaten one black man so far.

I've got 99 problems but urban planning is all of them

I understand what's trying to be said here but I'd pass on that.

I've lived in apartments most my life. Now that I live in a home that has a backyard, a garage, can't hear what my neighbors are saying, don't need to pay for laundry, don't need to go down an elevator to throw away garbage, and don't have to worry about people pissing in the elevator. I'm not going back to an apartment.

I know this is an unpopular opinion, but that's because a good amount of the time it's true...

Relationships are a lot of work, but shouldn't be hard. If your relationship is getting so difficult that you feel the need to post your issues on the Internet to get advice from strangers, your relationship is more or less done and haven't really noticed it yet.

If it's a one off issue that you need some outside help to see another perspective, than breaking up is probably not the solution; however, if it's habitual then yeah breaking up is probably for the best.

We tend to have loss aversion and get trapped in the sunken cost fallacy with relationships and can't see that it needs to end.

That said, giving advice for a bad relationship is like seeing a person who has an addiction problem. That person needs to realize what it is, and no amount of advice can help.

Start it at 11 minutes. Everything before that is just his opinions on why people don't want to emulate games.

Not saying it's a waste of time or anything, just if you already know the arguments then it's unnecessary.

Spotify CEO becomes richer than ANY musician ever, while shutting down site exposing artist payouts

This argument makes me so mad because you obviously have zero idea how any of it works. The only thing you had right was that it's a competitive and saturated market.

Artists didnt "figure out" touring pays the bills. That is the only way a performing artist can pay the bills. Artists who you would think "oh they made it, and are now setup for life" is just not true. The only ones that are like that are mega ultra pop/rock stars.

I can go on for days but honestly I don't have the bandwidth. Merry Christmas and happy holidays my guy.

I'm working on it, ok?

I'm 38 and I just achieved that goal.

Don't stress about this shit (too much).

Go to concerts, take trips, eat your avocado toast. Indulge.

You're only young once, and everyone is poor in their 20's. Unless you're lucky or it's given to you.

It sounds trite, but success will come. However you measure it.

Starfield, is it getting review bombed?

Man some people just can't be pleased. I've been playing the game all week, and it's fantastic. It delivered exactly what I thought it was going to be.

Sure there are some bugs, and some complaints about a few minor things, but as a whole this game is spot on.

I'm just not sure what people are expecting. It's Fallout/Skyrim in space, and it's exactly what I thought it was going to be.

PEGI gives balatro an 18+ rating

Eh I played when the OG Mortal Kombat came out all the time at the local pizza place when I was like 9, and I turned out fine. I've only murdered a handful of people so far. It's not like I became a cop or anything like that.
