For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

If only there were a community for us. With geeky chicks too. I think that was in various parts of California in the 80s, but besides that, it's really hard to find people like us. I tried my way in New Orleans for a short time but didn't give it the best shot... They actually had hackerspaces there, we don't have them in the shitty Midwestern city I'm in now. I'm in the middle of making a big relationship change and uprooting my life, or deciding fuck it and settling down, but my state of flow and unfuckwithableness that used to be the steady constant in my life has been replaced by working too much and too much stress. So something's gotta give. It'd be awesome to have a place to meet like minded people like us, but we're mostly on the internet and still far and few between.

God damn it, now you done it with the chicks part 😂. Yep, we should chat 😂.

Agreed, not too many people like us. I met one that I converse with regularly through a game (just a friend, male) and he seems like a copy of me 😂... he can be crazy, but down to earth when needed... also, we share the same sense of humor, which I really like 😂. Like, I can be so socially whacked when it comes to my sense of humor, and he's like that too, so we basically finish each other's sentences when some comment might hint to a meme or something socially ackward 😂.

I don't even live in the US, I live in Europe 😔. But yes, I would like to meet more people like me. I've really just felt like I don't belong anywhere my entire life. Sure, I have friends and all that, but most of them just don't get me. They try, but I can see that they don't.

Hit me up with a PM if you'd like 👍.
