    Are women more open to dating you than you think?

    Many won't. Looks + money + other things if they're looking for a long-term relationship. Probably not. I won't say that getting out there doesn't have value, but if you smell horrible and you're ugly and you give off creeper vibes, getting out there won't get you a whole lot of success.

    Open Heart Surgery

    Update: the date he was to go home has been postponed, as he has intermittently had bouts of low blood pressure in rehab. They are attempting to correct this with medication, but he never had this problem before the surgery. Please pray that this will right itself and that he will not have to...

    Ai Companion: Yes or No?

    I'm required to use an AI notetaker at work. It's useful, but far from impressive. We're a long way off from AI companions like you might see in science fiction. With apps and chatbots, there's also privacy concerns. With a lot of these, you're creating a profile as a prerequisite to using...

    What's on your mind?

    You're not wrong. Also, if a single woman in her 20's says that last sentence, let alone expands on it, and puts that on the Internet, she's going to be called a "pick me". Never heard it in relation to the Kardashians myself. You're welcome.

    What's on your mind?

    And there are always white knights. The thing I hate about white knights in the church is that many of them judge other guys in the church who are not white knights, even after they've been taken advantage of and abused. Sorry (not really), but it's not sinful to have boundaries and standards...

    Kali Linux

    Probably irrelevant. Web servers tend to live in datacenters and use wired connections. Linux-based ones tend to run on LTS distributions, and the more popular ones tend to get security patches quickly through backports. There are additional services one can get which will allow you to patch the...

    Cheating Death by merging with AI

    If you upload your mind to something else, it's not you, it's just a copy of you. The soul will still go where it will after the body dies. What would the copies of our minds do, and hope for?

    How to stop the king of all sins.

    I don't know how to have this conversation with your wife, but don't play games with microtransactions anymore. Pay for the game up front, then go to town on it. It doesn't address the lying issue, but that will at least help get the financials under control. By knowing what I like, I have spent...

    What's on your mind?

    A tale as old as time, but the tools are different now. I'm reminded of my college and early post-college days, when there were women looking to get back with their rich and/or responsible exes because they were having problems paying the bills. They didn't want the men they were aiming at, they...

    Dating catastrophe in China

    So I get that China is a big place, but that's different from what a friend who married a Chinese-American immigrant told me. He said that for the wedding, one side of the family buys the couple a house, and the other side of the family furnishes the house. I'm not sure if it's just different...

    Open Heart Surgery

    On Monday, my father is scheduled to have open heart surgery. Please pray for a successful surgery, a complete and fast recovery, and for good decisions to be made by the family and all involved medical people during this time.

    If you died today and stood before God, what would be one criticism of your life you can think of?

    I have to pick just one?

    Struggle with making friends

    If there's a party, I'm the awkward guy in the corner talking to the other awkward guy in the corner. That's how I've made a number of friends.
