Looking for things to do alone. I’ve been here for a little over a year and unfortunately haven’t experienced much of the city because I’m alone and have no friends out here. I’m not a drinker minus an occasional glass of wine and I don’t really listen to music, especially if it’s explicit. I’m a really laid back and chill kind of person. I know Houston is a major party city but it’s just not my thing. Any suggestions on what I can do for fun or get involved in?

I’m in Houston and alone. I’m involved in my church and some Christian singles groups I’ve found and connected with on Facebook. I also see some of the regular singles groups, so it might depend on your age and interests.
I’ve also made friends attending Astros games and the other sports have fun groups too.
If you’re into running or exercise, people often make friends through that.

I am 32, male, and love community. So I picked a super niche sport/activity and looked for ppl that were into it, within a year, I have a full group of very diverse guys that I see multiple times a week to engage in it and banter with.

I also like EDM (music), but I don’t get to spend as much time doing that anymore so I just try to attend an event quarterly and that’s turned into a solo activity that felt lonely in the beginning but I really cherish it.

All this to say, use this time to reflect on what you’d like to get into again from your past vs. something you’d like to get into that would be new to you. Then aim to fail at it as much and as quickly as you can. Within a few weeks, you’ll start to either realize how you don’t actually like those activities, or you’ll start to establish your own lil village.

Hi fishes,

Any idea what should be the salary of MongoDB administrator with 4 years of experience.

Once when I was waiting tables, I had a guy pay me cash. The change was 45 cents, which I didn't give back to him because like who wants that. He then asked where the change was, and when I explained that I didn't give back the loose change, he made a big stink about how dollars and cents matter and didn't leave me a tip. He was a republican staffer on capitol hill.
