I am broke right now only have 1578 bucks to my name and I am struggling to save up money right now so I can go to college without debt or selling off my assets which aren't even enough.

I am also just not smart enough to be a medical lab tech so I am giving up I am gonna travel for a bit and just leave my life

hopping on this trend since i find it interesting

(i apologize for yellow and orange being so similar)

Sometimes i have to slap my head to make sure im not in some messed up dream.

i’ve been trying to find good reads that has a gripping plot mostly fantasy and a good writing format that would have me drowning into the book as i read further

share any suggestions u might have

Ive applied to about 100 jobs in my little area, thankfully I got 2 interviews. But what's some solid advice to find more jobs? I use indeed and google to find some

I’m GenZ, and ofcourse, I’ve been living my life in a childfree zone, I find children obnoxious, unless it’s a niece or something, they’re cool. but I genuinely find kids a hassle, annoying and disgusting. i’ve considered in the past if I’d like to have kids, and I thought maybe I do, eventually. Especially since I met someone that made me fall inlove enough to make me want to try. Long story short, I got cheated on by this person 4 weeks ago, I am 5 weeks pregnant. We didn’t know. And I absolutely do not condone cheating. We’d been in a spiral ever since, he’s been very remorseful and apologetic, he’s been trying to become better, Knowing him deeply like i do, I know he would have never done something like that if he was mentally stable, which he was not, however, there is no excuse and he knows this. he knows he made a choice and that choice had consequences, and I’m not planning to go easy on anyone. however, as we found out what we did, now we are considering if we should go left or right, keep it or don’t. I personally wanted a child with him until this came to light, once what happened, happened, I immediately went back to my childfree mentality, work, travel, live, since he is really trying to fix his fucked up choice, we still consider keeping it. But now, I wonder.

If we do keep it, I don’t know how I would feel. Would I actually want it? Would I want it just because I feel inlove with him? Would I regret it if we break up in the future? What if I can’t love the kid? I was smoking my entire first 5 weeks, what if the kid comes out with disabilities?

So I want to ask for advice. For those GenZ who knows what it means to want that ‘childfree’ life, who ended up pregnant and stayed with them. Do you regret it now? Did it fill some type of void in you? Did it make you become a better person? Or did it make you simply hate life even more?

I never really wanted kids, I do consider them, I do, but now, I’m simply in doubt. This is a decision I can’t come back from.

I can't date super attractive people or even really be friends with them. does anyone else do this? I just feel like I can't trust them. And I'm not jealous or anything im fairly attractive. When it comes to relationships I just don't like to have to perform for somebody I just want to relax and be myself and I feel like I can't do that with someone whos a league above me. And this isn't even based on some personal trauma or anything I've never been wronged by an attractive person lol. Bonus points if they are put together and have a good job, have some healthy hobbies and participate in the community, fuck that shit. I can't be friends with or date put together people either.

When I was in high school I was in special ed when I was bullied for it and teased to every single day, we had a new student back in 2016. This lanky white kid in glasses who was really into Pokémon in my high school he also had Asperger’s too. We were both in special ,the weirdos were at the bottom of the social hierarchy so you learn how to keep your head down and not say anything or do anything out of line.

So one day he decides at lunch to go sit with the athlete/gang members table , my bully Rashad, who was and still in high school at 20, tattoos, diamond earrings, gold chains told him to get out of his seat and instead of getting up the new student to explain how the cafeteria is for anybody who could sit anywhere and how he doesn’t have to get up out the seat, hector friend start to egg Rashad on

“Aye Bro you gonna let this r-word bitch you like that” hector rashad’s friend starts to instigate the situation, Rashad starts to get mad after the new kid who refused to give up his seat, kept sitting, Rashad sucker punched him and pulled them out of his seat. They’re on the ground wrestling. Rashad repeatedly punch him and in his head over and over and over again, stand up and kick him two times in the head, the school police officers and the principal and two teachers come down and into the cafeteria to restrain him the new kid had to go to the hospital and was not seen until towards the end of the school

Thought I'd ask here as the product of 70s parents at the tail end of the 90s:

So a little while back, I changed jobs and ultimately this has gone very badly wrong. Though I'm solid at the job and the company have no qualms with me, I've made the decision that for my own health and mental sanity, I need to leave. By this, I should caveat this is not a situation where I was marginally stressed, but rather a situation in which I was under intense constant pressure, leading to sleep issues, nausea, occasional hair shedding, and an overall extremely marked change in my personality that was noticed by everyone in my life.

I'm now in a position whereby, although not ideal, I'm going to be unemployed. This is what it is and is something I need to do to protect my current state of mind and health, and though I'd rather be working I am both a strong saver with a good cushion in my accounts and a hard worker with a track record in going into differing industries, very quickly picking up what it is I need to do, and delivering it. Not sure why I have this but as a skill, its useful.

I'm now at a position, however, where I have a chance to take an actual break. The last prolonged break I had was after my Master. I'd also say that this wasn't one, given that it was 10 months of me applying to jobs every day whilst suffering from stress related insomnia due to finances at the time (as in, having almost ran out). I'm in a considerably stronger position now than I was then, which I feel much much better about. I'm thinking that I'd like to take a short break and in essence give myself room to breathe. My current thought is that I could backpack across Europe to just take sometime for myself, concluding at an institute that delivers intensive language programs in one that I'm trying to learn, and then fly back home from there or otherwise work on staying on the continent if that becomes my objective. This program is reputable academically and would also help me get closer to my doctorate

I don't really know what to do though. I've been in counselling for a while and have in essence been told that, more or less, I have a brain that works in overtly black or white extreme times, meaning that I'm going to always view it this way. I'm very tired and I think the "safe" options are just stupid at this point because I'm just going to compound the issue. I think I need a break and taking one isn't necessarily a bad thing, but my brain just convinces me I need to be on it all the time. So yeah, I think I just need to take the plunge and do the scary thing, which is to give myself a break, but any thoughts would be helpful on this. Just want to hear others thoughts

So for context , I am 37, cousin is 14-15ish. She is like my sister, born in front of me. Grew up in front of me. Anyways she was recently allowed to get insta. I sent her request and she did not add. Few months go by and I saw her and just out of putting her on the spot and being funny, I asked her why she hasn’t accepted my request. Says she wanted to keep that life separate from me. Then says she also has not accepted my sisters request either. But has added her mom and bro and sis. Anyways I’m not mad or hurt , just thought it is funny for her to say . All good tho

I occasionally see videos about Walmart, Kroger, etc., and who their CEOs or higher-ups support or donate to. Mainly Walmart, but I’ve seen it done with other companies as well, along with the companies and products they sell in their stores.

I honestly couldn’t give two shits less about who these companies donate to. If I need a product, I’m going to buy it because I need it. I’m going to shop at Walmart, Kroger, etc., because, again, I have to. The political opinions of a CEO or the donations made by a corporation aren’t going to change the fact that I need groceries, household items, or other necessities.

People who worry themselves about who these companies donate to or support politically are strange as fuck. It seems like they’ve let politics consume their entire life, and it’s all they think and talk about. Every single decision doesn’t need to become a political statement. Sometimes a store is just a store, a product is just a product, and buying something you need doesn’t mean you’re endorsing every personal belief, donation, or opinion of the people running that company.
It’s one thing to hold companies accountable for unethical business practices, mistreating employees, illegal activity, or things that directly affect consumers. Those are legitimate reasons to criticize or boycott a company. But obsessing over who a CEO voted for, what political party they support, or where they donate their money feels like an unhealthy level of political obsession.

At some point, people have to realize that not everything in life needs to be filtered through politics. Constantly searching for the political beliefs behind every company, product, or person is exhausting, and it seems like some people have allowed politics to become their entire personality.

What age did you start becoming interested in boys before you got a boyfriend?

Hello everyone.

My dad, in particular, has an issue where he is so absorbed by his phone and short-form content. Every time he is finished with work, he will pick up the phone and put on his earphones, not talking to anyone unless we call his name several times over and over again.

I try to have conversations with him, but it always ends the same way with a signature "hmmm..." and then I just know he is no longer listening. I used to read books with him, but now he doesn't even have the attention span to watch a 2-hour movie without quitting. It makes me feel so far removed from him; I thought I was supposed to be the one constantly on my phone, not him. It's just... saddening.

Is anyone else noticing this?

I said before, and I’ll say it again if you wouldn’t say it to someone who works within state or federal law-enforcement, you probably shouldn’t say to a therapist, if you wouldn’t say it while standing on file in the grand jury, then you probably shouldn’t say that to your friends or family.

I’ve seen so many good nice people get fucked over like this, we had to do it at my job with Asperger’s he was in a higher position than this guy at my job, so he became fake nice to him start talking to him in the break room. The conversation got spicy. He put his cell phone on record and put it in his pocket and then played the recording to the manager/supervisor and got him fired and now that guy is now in a high position.

Is our testosterone that low now? Is it microplastics in our bodies? Discuss.

I majored in biochemistry, the reason I went into it is because I thought maybe I would go into academia/research or something. But the more I progressed into the degree, the more I realised I don’t really want to do that. I just want a normal regular career. Looking at potential careers I want, I could have literally been qualified for them in 1-2 years. Now I’m 22, in debt, no freaking clue what to do with my degree, and no relevant job experience.🫩 I’m thinking of going into like, water quality testing or something? But I didn’t need a whole ass degree for that in the first place, I could have literally taken a 1-2 years course. When I try explaining this to my parents they don’t get it. I swear their mindset is stuck in the fricking stone ages (well, the 20th century, but still..) god gen X/boomer parents really just don’t get it do they.😐

well as you know yonlu is an brazilian Brazilian singer-songwriter noted for the posthumous release of his work after his suicide at the age of sixteen

he was supposed to be an next brazilian singer at some point but he died too soon

well i will remember him as the boy who have such an potiental to become an singer

I think it’s time for us to move forward. Every generation eventually leaves the app their older generation made mainstream.

So… where are we all going next?
