"I could totally do that if I tried"

I've also applied PUA and redpill is toxic, mysoginistic trash. It's nearly impossible to find PUA stuff that's not toxic and mysoginistic.

The only reason I call it PUA is that I don't know what else to call approaching strangers I find attractive in a respectful and honest way, especially because it seems that where I live or the people I go out with never meet new people.

6cd6beb encapsulated it wonderfully, if PUA is taken as only this and not the manipulative alpha male b/s that is taught, I believe it can teach men a lot of perspective and respect towards the opposite sex:

[...] the general formula of "know your value, be confident and unapologetic about what you want, be ready to accept 'no' quickly and gracefully" is the buried gold. Maybe it's just me but grinding through failure after failure after failure taught me those things.

There are waaaayyyy easier and cheaper ways to get your private information than by a massive, distributed covert operation designed to make your encryption implementations slightly easier to brute-force.

Sadly I believe this term has a misogynist undertone. I learned about talking to women like that and while it had enormous benefits, they also didn't really teach what was appropriate and had to learn them as well as un-learn a few bad habits.

“Game” is not misogynistic. If you think that then I don’t think you quite understand it. It is about a reduction in ego via self acceptance. Self confidence and self worth through emotional intelligence. Basically if you understand the teachings on Daniel Goleman, you will end up with “Game”. I think you think I mean a “player” which I totally agree with you on.

I think they're only looking for 2-5 IOC because they're checking the same machine they've broken into for operations.

Maybe they're looking for tools the other groups use to establish initial beachheads and not tools that are used for exploitation, info gathering or other more involved tasks.

A couple questions: did you have to travel to the hackathons?

How did you fing these groups?

This begs the question, what is Latino and what is white? I was born in a Latin American country to a Latin American mother and a Canadian father, have lived here my entire life but if you saw me you wouldn't even think I spoke Spanish.

Likewise, I've made friends in the US who are of Mexican descent and look very much like it but don't speak a lick of Spanish.

This has led me to feel not at home in either my country of origin or Canada. Since I'm too white to be from here and don't know enough about Canadian lifestyle to relate to anyone there.

Many aspects of how we categorize humans fall apart when you start asking questions like this. Best I can say is there are no logically satisfying answers.

There are many people is that position. For example, the conflict between Hispanic and Latino identity.

You are Generation 0 (Zero) like me. Your ancestral roots are anglo, hispanic, and native american by tradition.

Latin American does not mean they have Native American roots.

I'm personally really interested in living in spain for a while, I already speak spanish and only need 2 years to got citizenship due to living in iber-america. How hard do you think it is to get a job in spain?

Easy! When I moved here, I was not a professional programmer (just been playing around for a few years), didn't speak spanish and had basically no work experience. But it took no more than a week or two of scouting before I got my first job (but crappy job). Fast-forward one year and I got a entry-level job as a programmer. After another year with some more experience, I had plenty of programming jobs to chose from.

Edit: worth to add that this was in Barcelona, which seems to have a higher percentage of people speaking/understanding Spanish. First town I moved to was Girona but no one spoke English so had to move to Barcelona.

Sorry I took so long to answer, but thank you! I'll definitely start looking!

That's a good idea! How do you use your computer/laptop? What about eating? And how long did it take for you to get used to not having furniture?

I don't know, it's all the obvious techniques you'd imagine in lieu of furniture. Whatever is comfortable and practical. The orientations vary, constantly, that's part of the value. When one position becomes tiresome, a reconfiguration occurs.

I'm not a good person to ask about time to adapt, I stopped sleeping in beds as a teen opting for the floor. So I was already pretty well acclimated by the time I decided to get rid of the rest.

I didn't know what I was doing was called seiza, but I've been getting better at it thanks to jiujitsu. My knees are the biggest obstacle due to untreated osgood-schlatter during my teens, but I'm working on it. Hopefully I'll be able to seiza and squat comfortably by the end of the year.
