Single 24 year old here. Recently joined Hinge. I am barely getting any activity. I'm a former OKCupid user and I always got something there. Do people not use Hinge or is there something wrong with me? I'm a fit average height guy and I am not ugly. Looking for LTR especially now in the time of Corona. Didn't bother with human interaction before tbh but this loneliness is creeping up. 😔

Any idea about greenway health?

Hi fishes,
Want some feedback for Employees Assistant Program (EAP) by Capgemini which provides facilities to connect with Therapist.
Actually I am going through some tough times(going through a divorce), want to connect to EAP to discuss my mental health issues.
I had connected once and they say that the conversations are strictly confidential.
Just wanted to know do they really keeps stuff confidential or can they inform my Manager regarding the personal conversations.

Just got another negative test. I'm so lost. How do I handle the monthly roller coaster of emotions? Hope, disappointment on repeat. 😔

What misconceptions do you think people have about social work? or therapy?
Mine is my family still believes that only "sick" or unhappy people need to see a therapist, so they don't understand why I go to one since I have a job and a family. It's oldschool thinking and pretty annoying tbh.

Tricare Q:

Vets using Tricare with a family. I’m out and can use Tricare with the VA, but my wife and I each use our company offerings for our family; which obviously come at cost. Is it worth it to switch to Tricare? Has anyone done this and can share details? Positives/negatives?

Ordered a shroom grow kit and two kinds of spores. I've never taken them and always wanted to. Let's see if they do anything to rewire the brain like some people say!

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

Can we pin a post with recommendations for professionals and therapists that you can trust in your geographic location? If so, I’ll start in the comments with my recommendation.

I wonder, why everyone is not applying for FAANG and they’re happy with startups or other companies? (Not talking about who are not able to clear the interviews )

I would like to transfer my career to Healthcare Data Analytics. I’m gaining my data analytics certification by the ending of November. I’ve also worked and still currently working for great healthcare company’s. I also have lots of great healthcare data experience. My only concern is no degree. What can I say to recruiters that will WOW them or replace the fact I have no degree because that’s what most of these company’s require.

So who has tried the direct message feature?

I’m equally interested in exiting to finance (PE/VC and IB) and tech (Product manager and other semi-technical roles, not SWE or bizops). Which path is better to pursue/what are the pros and cons of each?

We bought a condo in Jan this year. Neither the seller nor the management company disclosed an ongoing project to reinforce balconies (approx. 30k cost to us). The management company explicitally stated no special assessments were underway or proposed during our due diligence. Anyone else have a similar issue? Did you end up suing the sellers? Any tips? Lawyers you have engaged?

Hello. I am new to this bowl. Hope to collaborate and share ideas/info.

Highest number of billable hours you have seen in a year?

I am so beyond ready to leave my current job, but can’t yet, since bonuses are paid out in January. 😬

In the meantime, I’ve applied to a lot of similar roles (slightly higher) but have not heard - good or bad - from any. Is it common for companies to slow down hiring in December because of Q4 rush, people on holiday, etc.?

Hear that appraisals happen for an employee every year around the first ever joining date. Is this true? And, does performance review happens with your manager or how does it work ?

Is consulting in NL actually tougher work than industry?

OK, so, right now I make a helluva lot, but I think I wanna make a bloody helluva lot because that seems to be what I should do - and what many of you do, as well. So, I wanna know from you super lotters what threshold I need to reach to fill the dark and empty void and be consumed and enveloped in the warm embrace of self-satisfaction and peace of mind. Please depict this value in terms of a recognizable sum, like avg yrly Swiss household expenditure per capita or Lambos.

Lots of 2-year-old posts here talking about their uncertainty of buying a home or investment property. I hope you did! Looking to buy my first flip in the next couple months, does anyone have any advice on flipping vs renting? My original plan was to flip and buy rentals while keeping my capital base up with my flip homes and slowly building my rental portfolio. Any thoughts on this?

Anyone wants to ride in park slope area? Can go to red hook or greenpoint

Hey! Looking for someone who might want to go on a bike ride this weekend, maybe starting Manhattan midtown-ish over to Red Hook-ish and back but definitely open to other suggestions! Not a pro biker by any means and usually just enjoy the ride if that matters :)

Hey y’all! So I heard that there’s a tradition of riding the NYC marathon route before the runners make it over to Manhattan? Does anyone have any experience with this? I’d love to ride if anyone else was thinking of the same.

Poll time: If you’re doing laps at your preferred park and a rando starts drafting you, do you:

Hi Folks! Starting at McK NYC soon and hoping to bike to work some days. I'll probably get a Brompton folding bike but wondering if anyone has experience with the NYC office? Is there accesible bike storage in the building? Are there showers of some sort in the office building where I can change out of biking clothes?
Would appreciate any advice.
Thanks!

Howdy! Has anyone ever biked the fire island seashore? If so, was it as awesome as I'd expect it to be, and were you able to find bikes to rent that could handle it?

I understand there used to be fat tire bike rentals at Robert Moses, but the pandemic seems to have closed that down permanently.

I want to do this ride so much I'm thinking of buying a pair of lectric foldables for myself and my partner, then just immediately selling them at a loss - but I'd prefer something easier logistically!

Anyone in BK wants to casual rides today?

I’m no pro, but would love to join a group ride this summer

Any chance anyone can recommend a good and reasonably priced bike?
