One con I attended had a morning session on how to meet people romantically. Around 40 in the room during self-introductions person opposite me said they'd been flirting with me for ages in the bar the previous night but I'd totally blanked them. Others nodded that they had noticed.
I DIDN'T KNOW! I thought they were just being friendly!
I now have a badge (pin) which says "Flirt blind. Make it clear".

When I did programming, that's how I worked. Intense focus and cranking out code, until I hit a wall, then go out and wander around, look at the squirrels, think of nothing, and the solution would hit me - then back in to work more.

My entire adult life, I've heard "You know he was flirting with you, don't you?" about cashiers, waiters, people standing near me in lines.
No, I don't know that. I've never known that. I've seen flirting in movies, but he didn't do any of those things. Hubs spent 6 months saying "So when are you going to ask me out?", but he was a bartender, he obviously didn't mean it. Until he told me he did.

Is that a thing? I mean the "get my attention before telling or asking me something?"
I drive my wife crazy by either never hearing something she says she said, or noticing she's talking and saying "wait. Start over."
She says I don't listen and should pay better attention. One of my many flaws she hates.
re: Gen Z & beyond embracing Debit Cards to cope with Economic Uncertainty. Tuesdayβs Findependence Hub.
Granted that it may be different in Canada, but I always and only use credit cards for purchases, and it helps me.
I pay the credit card bill in full when it's due - no interest charges. Essentially I'm borrowing my monthly expenses for free each month. My money can sit in the bank, untouched, till the credit card bill comes in. I make interest on my bank balance.

Donald Trumpβlike others charged with Espionageβshould be DENIED BAIL. Others facing far less than the 31 Espionage charges Trump is facing were denied bail bc they represented a risk to our nation. Same should happen to Trump. My article explains it: https://deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/donald-trumplike-others-charged-with

I just don't have the energy to argue about how completely fucked up this post is.
They're not just willing to throw it under the bus, they're actively working on it. They want a country where the GQP can't lose, because they make all the rules.
NATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT π€¬
Donald Trump was indicted on 37 Federal charges against the people of the United States.
His GOP competitors response - Stop picking on Donald..Whatabout Joe...Whatabout Hillary?
This Trump ass-kissing BS confirms that today's Republican party doesn't give a shit about this country.
They are so worried about losing a Trumper's trust that they are willing to throw our DEMOCRACY under the bus - SHAMEFUL & NAUSEATING to the CORE

I found Bible passage I didn't know existed. It seems to be ignored these days, so I thought I'd share (disclaimer: I am not a #Christian):
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, NOR IS THERE MALE AND FEMALE, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
~ Galatians 3:28
@ScottSoCal @actuallyautistic Try Headspace app? There's a free trial. Breathing, guided meditations. It doesn't take a lot of time. Worth a try when you have so much on your plate.
Wishing you well.
Probably not a good idea for me and where I work. π
