A hedge fund has a fully remote job posting labeled as in Portland with a salary band of $250k-$650k, if I were to sell my soul I'm pretty sure the price it'd go for is in there somewhere

Don't get me wrong, I'm jaded about aspects of the business, but when it's good it still gives me a really amazing sense of satisfaction to do this. Really glad to be working a gig where I can take pride in my work again. graph posted:same but before

You could try fostering animals. Last time I worked in an entirely empty office and got crushing loneliness I wound up moving to california, can't say I recommend it

Silver Alicorn posted:does anyone know how to cope with crushing loneliness Cultivating a parasocial relationship with someone helps relieve some of it till you find a real social. But uh... Don't be wierd when you do it. It's not a real relationship, it is a (oh goodness this sounds harsh) product that you purchase. Well, not purchase, but bid for idk it's wierd but #1 thing to remember is "don't be wierd". Here's an explainer on someone who is being wierd in a parasocial relationship. Also the video maker is also wierd, but on the lower bounds of wierd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN7PQBt5TMc Now I'm gonna go see the reaction by 39daph to this exact video. It got clipped and uploaded to YouTube yesterday. I'm not being wierd. That should tell you how wierd of a space this is.

Guy I mentioned is a German national and doesn't have any debt or anything and specializes in mobile dev. I think he works for a bit and saves then fucks off for a while to cheap places without actually working

Semi related question, how the hell do you meet people as an adult? I've got a decent friend group with my high school buddies, but they are all hundreds of miles away which imposes some limitations. Recovered alcoholic, so bars aren't the best idea, but that seems to be where most adults meet each other from what I've seen.

I've been cripplingly unemployed and now im on a fat severance pretirement and I gotta say having money is a lot better than not having it. It really does solve a good 80% or more of life's problems

Not exactly legal I don't think a mate at circleCI has been doing the same, but i think legally. he's not set foot in NA for the last ten years and has worked exclusively out of SEA though i suppose if you work at circleCI you can basically do whatever you want
