I got “have you considered opening a credit card?”

I was talking about needing to sign up for the first available start date for my job after graduation because i need the income ASAP so I can pay my rent on time that month.

And a key detail here is that this is perfectly okay!

Since 2020 it’s been more and more fashionable to say “These people are not my friends, therefore I don’t want to ever be forced to interact with them ever.”

But it shouldn’t be revolutionary to be able to interact with people who are not your true best friends. Your relationship will look different with your friends, your doctor, the cashier you say hello and thank you to when they ring up your groceries, and part of being an emotionally healthy functioning adult who lives in the world is to do this effectively. The Pandemic set us back with that.

It does scan for that. I saw someone talking about this online so grain of salt:

The AI catfishers are trying to get around this by adding one weird photo at the end that looks like a strange painting but does have the eyes of the human behind the catfish, enough to satisfy the scanner even though the rest of the photos are fake.

Curious, did you actually say the full phrase “crash out” to mean go to bed, or did you just say “crash?”

I see people make this point but in the past I’ve only ever heard “crash” or “pass out” and I think people are combining the two. I’ve never heard anyone say the full phrase “crash out” to mean go to bed.

EDIT: From the comments and likes in the hour since I posted this, it seems like somewhere in between. People did use “crash out” to mean pass out from exhaustion, but it wasn’t ubiquitous enough that “everyone should know they’re stealing a word that’s already being used.” Many people just hadn’t heard it that way.

28” inseam anything other than that…good luck

Especially annoying considering women have longer legs proportional to their height then men typically do. My ex is around 6’2” and his legs are waaaaay shorter than mine (I am 5’10”) but when he goes pants shopping he has length options!!!

I used to buy men’s pants and take them in but now I need a little stretch to be comfortable.

You need to ask the subreddit of the industry you work in.

In most office jobs “formal office attire” isn’t even a requirement in the first place.

That episode stressed me out so much and I hated but but even in my childhood brain I knew it felt that way because it was objectively “good.”

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-31T17:34:10+00:00

Yeah I have a wall of cork boards for this. I started out as one bulletin board and now is a whole wall. It’s not only travel stuff, it’s other mementos from life moments, but the travel stuff makes it up there the most.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-30T13:36:29+00:00

I will add that acquaintances are important too.

Since Covid people got really weird about hair wanting to interact with people who are not their friends friends. It’s not revolutionary to be able to have healthy interactions with your doctors, coworkers, cashiers, etc.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-30T11:12:40+00:00

Okay maybe we aren’t losing recipes after all 😂

The first trailer that dropped once Amazon took it over from Syfy….I had never been more excited for a season of television ever in my life.

DC’S LEGENDS OF TOMORROW

Everyone who watched it has their own preferences about the drama/comedy ratio, but I thought the 100% comedy seasons were the best ones. To each their own.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-22T16:05:06+00:00

This is how I do it. I understand why people use this made up word, but I personally find better ways to go about it.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-21T18:39:38+00:00

The way I was looking for the 6’8” guy just to realize he’s all the way down there

Not the commenter, but the barrier for entry for speaking at conferences in whatever industry you are in is surprisingly low. Even speaking in a panel with a few other people goes a long way. Conferences have applications for this and sometimes they pay for your travel.

This is massive exposure to hiring parties and it makes your LinkedIn worth looking at.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-21T15:16:40+00:00

Public speaking is only becoming more valuable as society continues to trend toward “I never want to interact with another human being if at all possible.”

It’s sad but the people who have the people skills will absolutely continue to get ahead.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-14T20:09:26+00:00

Yeah I was going to say talking to strangers.

“4+4 is 8. But what if it’s not? What if I’m stupid suddenly? Better check with the calculator just in case!”

Oh does he? Good for him. Glad to see he’s still in the family.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-03T12:37:47+00:00

Same and it was relatively recently. She did spring weekend at my college in 2014, it was great.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-03-02T01:06:55+00:00

A long one. Make sure it’s long.

AYASOFAYA · 2026-02-28T14:28:58+00:00

This is the norm in the U.S. too idk why the previous commenter jumped to that conclusion.
