Reply to [Text] I need to find a higher paying job, but self doubt makes me feel like I can’t handle any job by thequeasydream
I think you would be just fine as a bank teller. But from what you say it seems like remote work might be an ideal option for you. I guess i'm now that guy but have you considered learning to code. Seems like analyzing complex problems on mostly your own time might be up your alley.

Sounds like you need to get out of there, fomenting disillusionment is not healthy. I wouldn't necessarily be comfortable signing a year long lease as a newbie that doesn't seem to have much support, but only so much you can do when some distance is that important to your mental health. I wouldn't worry too much about failing, it has happened to the best of us multiple times. Do be sure to budget visiting your mum often (I often had two months of groceries forced on me upon return and it was a net positive lol), but I doubt she would want you shackled and unable to grow as into your own person as a result of her decline. You literally can't be there all the time, and you are in the prime of your life mam. Your mom would want you to cut loose and keep moving forward as often as keeps you happy. No offense but screw what anyone else says.

I get where you're coming from but I would say expand your empathy a bit. Could just be dicks but I suspect many of the comments like this come from people who spent weeks/months/years simmering in frustration watching someone they cared about repeatedly refusing to leave an obviously abusive relationship. It is not only traumatic to the direct victim.

I'm still not getting it, Putin obviously treats the West different than others, way more hostility and paranoia, way less success at bullying. No one that's been paying attention for the last 20 years is particularly surprised that Putin's gonna Putin, but it is surprising to see him drop the ball this hard.

Not sure I understand what you are trying to say here, no one is trying to change Putin, we are responding to what he is doing. Are you saying we should just abandon all the former soviet states to him?

Literally all of society assumes gym bros are toxic, it's basically a meme at this point.

It doesn't need to be the majority to be a problem. Unreasonable minorities on both sides get all the spotlight thanks to social media algorithms and are thus affecting our kids. You are literally doing the "Not all men argument" here FFS, so blind.

And it would take me 30 someone saying all men are trash. What is your point it's not a competition. The difference is most of western society is against misogyny but misandry is met with YES queen yesssss preachhh.

Ok so we won't worry about getting women into politics STEM and the C suite either. If boys outperform girls on average so be it.

Why though? If she shaves she shaves. If my balls are so contaminated I can't let something that touched them contact my face I need a shower.
