Are there any good movies or novels that show skill development - like follow through? Self-management? Money management? I read a lot of self help books so I know a lot of the theory, and books peppered with examples help, but I feel like most 1 paragraph examples don’t five justice to how hard it may be to change a behavior.

What other performance factors are considered for PDM besides utilization?

Hey there! Does anyone have leads or advice for pursuing remote internship or employment opportunities in IT while in college? For reference, I am beginning my sophomore year in college with 3 majors within CSCI and am working on attaining my A+ certificate then my Network+. I am partaking in a network infrastructure internship position right now for a large lending corporation (my only internship thus far). I am unsure if I want to continue with infrastructure or software. Thank you in advance!

Very good place to work

What has been your greatest challenge this year and how have you overcome?

Any book recommendations for a new public defender?

I have 1.5 YOE in MC and was recently contacted about an opportunity for a data analyst role in private equity. I’m pretty clueless about the space, but comp is an 85% pay raise and the work generally sounds interesting. Has anyone exited to a similar role? What’s career growth like? My goal is to go to in house for media / entertainment industry, hopefully become an executive. TIA :)

I dated someone 15 years older than me and he always lectured me about what did I do wrong. From small things like where to squeeze ketchup on my plate to big things like how to live my life and pivot to a career that his “friends” do so well in right now. Almost everything I did or said he’d follow with some criticism. I ghosted him after another lunch date full of such lectures.

Does anyone have experience or advice on being a stepdad? My bf has a 6 year old (whom I adore) and I want to be as good a stepdad as I can be without overstepping any boundaries. Any advice is welcome!

Are poppers bad? Are they frying our brains? Post your thots below

I grew up in a nuclear family away from extended relatives who were never really close. Parents were either emotionally unavailable or distant. All I've wanted for myself was a big loving family to call my own.. my parents are unaccepting of my sexuality & my partners family is also quite fucked up so she's isn't super close to them either. Honestly this sucks & it feels like I'll never have a huge supportive family I've wanted & craved for.

Any fish in SF

Happy Pride everyone

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Holidays can be tough for our community - I hope everyone is able to find some moments of self-care and happiness today!

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

Well 😒 accidentally gave up my rose on hinge to the wrong dude. Was saving it for “the one.” Now this guy keeps texting me. He seems okay - I figure I should prob at least do a coffee date. (Or, Maybe a make out session and some heavy petting in the corner at starbucks? Is that still a thing for first coffee dates?) Will also wear the cologne im buying this weekend! I don’t know how long it takes for my rose to grow back on the app.

Xtina’s new Mulan release 😍 and a spanish version too... Dios mío!

Liking one senior member on the team (who’s been my mentor) & I have started overthinking about this super genius man & I feel less confident when he’s around. This is impacting my work :(

I know this is very stereotypical to ask here, but did anyone watch the latest episode of White Lotus? DM me! My friends are watching it tomorrow and I need to get my thoughts out!!!!!
