They likely can. They're paid not to frame it that way though.

The Bell Riots also start in 2024. Oh boy, it's going to be a wild few years.

With a caveat that you should speak German otherwise you're locked out of over 60% of positions. At least that has been my experience.

I had someone stop talking to me because I don't have an Instagram. Kind of weird if you ask me.

When I said "I bet they would be popular on earth" I meant mainly within the federation version of earth. Yes, you're right that we have done such things but in that world we've been able to overcome our past. They've even made allies (and some have made friends) of the Klingon, their previous enemies.

A good show of what I mean is how they treat Odo even after knowing of the Founders.

I never understood why changelings were prosecuted so much. I bet you they would be popular on earth. Imagine having one as a DM for a D&D campaign. They can be the miniatures and the terrain, transform into characters you interact with, and do so while being intimately aware of how these things act. They would make for cool friends, not to mention partners. Kira could get as freaky as she wanted.

To be honest, this is likely the most true of all. There already are AI generated articles out there. You could ask ChatGPT to write you a cynical take on any topic and post it.

Right, but that isn't what is being said here. Giving kindness is not all-or-nothing. We can definitely afford to do it more often without going overboard as you describe.

I've seen people I wouldn't consider attractive with partners. Both genders. There might be truth to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".

I would say just learn to talk to people. It's practically the biggest thing. Looks only get you certain people but charisma can get you the right person.

This feels like I'm playing No Man's Sky. Just a bunch of symbols I don't recognize and then the word "school" in the middle without context hahaha.

In all seriousness, good for you. That's very impressive. I'm only bilingual with a basic understanding of a third language.

Working out. Either biking, walking, lifting weights, doing martial arts, etc. It doesn't matter. In some of my lowest points if my life I started working out and it helped. It didn't fix it but it really helped my mood improve. It also raises your self-esteem. I did a couple of years of BJJ and it really made me feel better about myself. Now I go to the gym and lift weights. Looking better and seeing the weights I can lift become heavier do a lot of me.

Music. Pick up a guitar. Thomann sells really cheap guitars that are great for beginners. Learn some songs you love and play along with them. Just look up tabs online and go from there. Eventually, you'll realize that you can use the instrument as a constructive channel to your emotions.

Both (or even most) suggestions you're going to hear about this topic take discipline. There is a reason for that. These things are rewarding proportional to the effort you put in. Seeing yourself improve at whatever you choose ultimately will only happen when you make the time and put in the effort. Do not be discouraged. The first few weeks are always hard but you can build good habits in a short time.

Real question: how? What does epic games do? Is it privacy stuff? I'm out of the loop. I just get free games and gave a disposable email.
