None

It doesn’t.

It makes it seem like everyone is struggling coz you don’t hear from anyone else.

Sign up with a pension company and pay money into it like any other monthly bill.

I’m in the UK so might be different elsewhere.

Same.

Also self employed. Got plenty of work lined up, savings, pension, cheap mortgage.

Each year looks a little better than the last one.

I think part of the reason it seems everyone is struggling is because of two reasons.

One, lots of people are struggling. Two, no one wants to hear from the few who aren’t.

Platipus - they start as boring eggs

It totally can through.

When making a request, and generally expecting to be misunderstood, autism can lead to over explaining and very logical detailed expression like this.

I was moderately effective as a salesman with this approach, with some limitations and caveats.

Could just be autism. They overlap in style a lot, especially when making a request like this. A real possibility in this community

Two things.

A specific spicy pepper pasta sauce from twenty years ago.

And my cat.

I think that’s a natural question to wonder.

He did not jump, he talked with my friend for a while and when the police got there they talked for a bit too and then he climbed back to safety.

It was surreal for me, being on the phone and hearing it all, but not being able to speak to anyone for most of it.

The last real “emergency” emergency I was involved in, was on the phone to someone who was talking to a guy on the edge of the bridge.

Friend of mine was out delivering parcels and stopped because of a crowd on the bridge. They were worried because everyone was watching and waiting for the police, no one was talking to the guy who was looking down at the water.

They called me to ask what to do or say when they approached them.

That friend of mine is now a therapist themselves and a damn good one too.

Because we don’t have them in this country

Your biggest fear is the oldest fear in the world?

OMG! Can you imagine!

Bumping into my husband online… That’d be embarrassing!

Talk with friends. Drink. Eat. Game. Work.

I’m currently running the latest version from F-droid, it’s doing what it should do. No red flags I can see.

I know the current owner as much as the previous one so no difference for me.

That’s one option.

In the UK there’s also a more vocational route, part time study, mixed with practice and focused on doing the job rather than learning about the job.

I always had an interest in understanding humans, I find the way their minds work endlessly fascinating.

So I did a lot of study on the subject until one day I parked my old job and trained as a therapist.

After that I got invited to stay on at the college and teach. Been doing that for eight years now, alongside my practice, and I love it.

I spend my days answering questions from people who want to learn, who have chosen to be there and whose goal is to make a difference in the world.

It’s a privilege and a good way to earn a living.

Excellent, I do love the way syncthing makes that simple.

I use SMBSync2 to move any pictures more than a month old into a backup folder so they don’t clog my phone. Keeps things neat.
