Thank you! Good Ending was the one that completely eluded me. The others, however, I will look up. Thanks again <3

Yep, always. Just moved into Jersey City actually. Where are you?

Not anymore unfortunately. It's really my fault. I'm just so bad at keeping in touch with people, because I lack social skills. lmfao I feel so horrible, but I do miss them.

Nah it's understandable, I wouldn't shade yourself like that. It's not easy keeping up over the years especially when everyone has different stuff happening in life. That you're here and talking to people here and there is a great sign you def care and doing your best :)

What are you up to nowadays?

*cries* Th-thank you. ;A;

Nothing really. I took a break from college to find myself and I think I’m slowly getting there. Been finding new things to get passionate about. Lately, I’ve been trying to get back into the groove of reading manga and watching anime. After Bleach and Naruto, I kind of gave up. BNHA has sparked my passion again.

How about you? <3

Hey!
How was it? I must admit I don't like Paris as a city xD It has wonderful buildings and museums here and there, but I hate the city in itself :3.
I hope you enjoyed it anyway ^^
Otherwise, I'm fine! What about you?

Pfahahaha, I can understand why, the people can be extraordinarily cold, rude, and self-important. But I come from a city myself, so I understand it, although I don't necessarily condone it!
I did! As you say, the buildings, museums, paths, and general ambiance was very rewarding to visit. The food obviously was fantastic, although I suspect other parts of France will also have mind-blowing cuisine to try!!
I'm alright, between new job and new home, it's been a wicked end of summer, but now looking to relax more into the winter. Still on my data science and programming career, enjoying it well.

How's teaching and general life?

That's exactly it. And the dirtiness.
Haha, yeah, depending on where you go in France, food can be entirely different xD Even in the way of cooking: in the north, people cook a lot with butter, while in the south, it's always with olive oil. I must admit I love this diversity that we have.
I'm glad it's slowing down so that you can relax. It's definitely important.
Teaching's going well, but I hate driving and traffic jams. It's just something that is not normal in a small country, so it's incredibly heavy on my mind and causes a great deal of tiredness. I mean, having to wake up at 5:30 when you start working at 8:00... nope, not in our habits. In general though, it's going well :)

Not too shabby, gotta admit. Changed jobs, homes, wives, all the rest. How about yourself?

Wot, you no longer with VainDay/Nami? Don't go around seeking some nubile asian mail bride(s) to fill the void now, loverboi.

Married now myself (not with Maiaku, mind you), decided to not have kids with waifu cuz crapsack society, got a steady peanuts-for-pay full time job, but just enough to make ends meet and save a little for my death by suicide at the age of 39. In other words, so-so.

So, what keeps you coming back here? Keeping in touch wth @zetruz and others?

I dunno, mang, this place like a limbo, I know all those moments and memories are lost forever, but I got some inexplicable unfinished business, dunno what tho hha

I'm talkin purgatorio, by the way, not that "how low can you go" dance/game--though, in hindsight, that works too. Huh.

Good day. OMF is pretty much dead, expect delays in response.
Life's good overall, but a bit boring.
How are you? When we talked last time (when was that, 5 years ago?) you were aiming for quant finance career. Did things work out for you?

m1hawkgsm

Likewise, but as time passes I'm trying to keep my contacts somewhat refreshed, but no worries if you take long.
What's life brought you since we spoke? Is it boring but stable I hope?
Not bad at all. Life wise, I've gone through a marriage (and went through its end), cycled through a few jobs and industries. I did do a couple of quant jobs (commodities research and bank electronic cash equities trading desk), but then did a stint at an ad-tech firm (which interestingly enough had a good deal of ex-HFT technologists and quants). Now I'm at a fin-tech startup (consumer, marketplace for loans and stuff like that) doing data science. Pretty much I've evolved from being a quant, to a data engineer, and now a data scientist (but really it's mostly the same conceptual tools and mindset).

So far it's been a very rewarding experience, even though I haven't quite made it to the buy side (a hedge fund or the like). I'm not sure I want that in the end due to lifestyle/culture, but I'm open to it. Data science in tech firms is pretty fun and plenty of rewards to be had.

No where to be honest. I don't even remember my log in information for that Discord group.
