@MediumRedRidingHood My first black Colombian 18 year old "girlfriend" would come by to manically bang four times and then promptly leave. The deal was that I bought her a taxi one of the ways. I suspected that she occasionally pocketed the money and took the bus. I could live with it. I actually started getting bored with the situation so I would invite her to a $2.50 meal. She really didn't want to eat though. Then she went on the pill and could then we seemed to only do it twice or so. Its amazing how quickly that ageing libido gets put into overdrive when you are between the legs of an actually fertile young firecracker. I suspect that the really hot and wet ones just get knocked up off of the market. Their bodies are SCREAMING for it. What is left out there is mostly a bunch of meh two fucks a night types. Its good but rarely great. If my dick doesn't get hard again then its probably just my body saying its not worth it.

@Chaddeus_Rex LOL Dude your countrymen. I'd say that at least 20% of Dnipro dudes just autistically go off about "Maiden Heroes", "Cossacks", "Crimea", "Donbass", etc after a bit of booze. [Dodging, dodging]. I'm sure that L'viv is still always even worse these days. Fuckers just start into lecturing on hard line history about cowboys and martyrs. How alienating is that? One thing that I really enjoy about Odessa is that it never happens. Dnipro is cool for the easier foreigner points though. Tiraspol is kind of wonderful really since its probably the most post-politics place in Europe these days. Something about living in a country that nobody recognizes or gives respect to.

I've been away. My bro just told me that three nights ago he met his stacked blonde who immediately began interviewing him. He ends up saying that we are close and she says "OMG that guy is an asshole sex tourist! Why are you friends with him!?". She goes off about our weird interaction where I'm talking about "sex" constantly and hitting on her. He tells her that we are bros, he'll never see her again and her opinion doesn't matter at all. I'm assuming that they parted ways soon after this.

So what actually happened is that about 2-3 months ago I met this energy vampire hot chick at an English club. I sat next to her because she was hot and it was the next seat. She started the question rampage. She then pulled out an abstract artistic BS photograph and asked me to critique it. To make it go away I said that it had good energy. She then began asking me over and over and over again what my definition of energy was. I said "next question", "next", etc at least ten times. I told her to stop talking to me. I would not answer and was actively trying to speak to other people. She continued to interrupt me like an only child demanding that I answer her. At this point I had lost all respect for her so I told her that her photo is nihilistic, unsubstantial abstract and emblematic of her confused state having lived in Germany. I then said that I prefer a more direct and honest form of art such as the Russian style of showing a woman's ass. I then doubled back and told her that she is nowhere and almost doesn't exist. All of this for my amusement because she is a total POS energy vampire.

She hamstered this as a conversation about sex. Oh, after she stormed out I declared to everyone that she is the most bullshit woman I had ever met in country in years. Another expat told me that she threw a glass of wine in a dudes face once for hitting on her.

@destraht Come now Destraht. You seem like an intelligent guy. You should know that there's no correlation between IQ and secular success. IQ is based off a European model for cognitive development relevant to the culture.

It's like Blacks making a model for intelligence based around musical aptitude and athletic prowess applying it to Europeans. Reasoning that creativity and physical aptness are a direct expression of neural efficiency.

Or Latin Americans basing Intelligence around an individual's propensity to be communally sociable and coherent.

Can't really objectively judge another culture's values through the lens of your own without glaring biases.

I've been trying to branch out from only PHP as a backend technology. However, no language plus framework has seemed worth it. PHP has warts and weak-to-non-existent concurrency but it gets the job done and the ecosystem is just huge. So well I think that I've finally found my next big tech stack: Buffalo Golang. I can continue to use my advanced Webpack and Vue experience. I think that a big part of it is that PHP just doesn't make my dick hard any more. It seems like it screams mediocrity on a resume as well.

So to be always improving I've been using a PHP technology that is at the least say 50% faster than oother PHP frameworks. I co-wrote a book on it 3 years ago with one of the framework leaders. The problem is that I'm very angry with the lame leadership of that technology. They call it community but they sometimes decide to just fuck off for months then that is just life. I've felt like a disempowered hostage a few times. Then they start back up like nothing was wrong as pull requests just sat there. I've raged to no affect. Fuck them. Now I'm just a passive consumer now as I use it for about half of my stuff.

So it feels like quite a relief to finally have a good path out of the ghetto. In the medium term it will be all Golang. I bought two book on Golang and Rust each but man Rust seems way too fucking involved for web development at this time.
