The algorithm remembers the things you've looked at. Based on what you've looked at, it guesses what type of person you are. You are now grouped with other people that it thinks is like you. Then it looks at other people in this group, and it sees what they've looked at. If it finds something that you haven't looked at yet, it'll show that to you.

Generally speaking, this works because if someone who has similar interests likes something, there's a good chance you'll like it too. The unintended side effect (or intended side effect, depending on your perspective) is that you're likely to be only shown things that conform to your current perspective, which can amplify biases and skew your perception of what's going on in the world

The n from "an" transferring to the other word is always amusing to me and what's more amusing is that it's not the only time this has happened (a napron -> an apron)

Ok but, like, have you actually seen a frog hunt? It's a miracle they even survive a week in the wild. They're cute but also incredibly stupid. Frogging would be the least efficient way to debug your code, I would imagine

In addition to the other comment, a lot of companies typically sell support for their software, not the software itself. That counts for a lot in the business world

It's not a matter of semantics, it's a matter of drawing a distinction between 2 emotions that are often confused with each other. Call it whatever you want, but what OP calls love is clearly not what a regular person would consider to be love. This distinction, which has been made by several other people in this thread as well, is important because people will and often do justify being a creep as that they're "in love." See how already so much of OP's argument hinges on the idea that he is in love? To be clear, he is very explicit that he is not just attracted to her - he is very clear that he believes he feels what a regular person would consider to be love.

Granted, in hindsight and given his responses so far, it seems unlikely that drawing this distinction would make a meaningful practical difference. But I fail to see how addressing one of the core parts of OP's arguments can be considered as meaningless argument over semantics

Sewing/designing clothes really clicked for me. Haven't tried woodworking, but I imagine it scratches the same itch and utilizes similar skills: 90% of sewing is just planning, calculation, and measuring. Then, watch everything just fit together into place

Not top brass, but I've been in/am in mentorship roles. Not leadership in the strictest sense of the word, but I might as well pitch in. I think a big factor in what makes or breaks a good mentor/mentee relationship is acknowledging that your mentees have different goals than you. You may want a project to finish on time, but not everyone does. You need to cater to your mentees to make sure they're getting what they want out of the relationship - you're kind of working for them just as much as they're working for you. It's a lot of work to be a mentor

Whatever you say, brother. We're only here to provide advice. And so far, everyone's advice seems to be on the same page. It's your decision whether to take it.

I will however point out that, in fact, the modern consensus is that Romeo and Juliet were not in love and that it was, at best, a hormone-driven highschool crush that lasted less than a week

This person's advice is comprehensive and correct. You need to accept it. What you're feeling is not love. Love is something that is built up over years of being in a relationship. No relationship, no love. If what you're feeling is as strong as you claim, then the correct word would be infatuation, or possibly obsession.

You're going to come off as extremely creepy to her. Let it go.

My understanding (not a historian, don't quote me on this) is that one of the big explanations for the collapse was particularly bad famine that affected the entire region. It led rural people to migrate into relatively-more-prosperous cities, often by boat (hence "sea people"), but this migration led to increased strain on city infrastructure, especially since the cities were facing the famine as well.

I'm confused now. Do you genuinely think dogs are a natural species? Because... that might explain a lot about this entire post

Apparently, yes. You can prevent thermal throttling if you expanded the base from 4 cm x 4 cm to 4.5 cm x 4.5 cm, and if you increased the height from 16 cm to 100 cm. The temperature caps at around 97 C.
