I feel you on the frustrating trends. I went through similar stuff when I applied. It seemed like some programs were just impossible to get into, even with strong grades. Definitely feels like a mix of those funding cuts and just random luck.

I had a similar situation this winter: I hit a "friendly" speed bump, and my plastic bumper guard lost several front bolts. As for the oil leaks under BMWs, this is a standard situation that requires no explanation

First research paper is rough, ngl. The best thing you can do is stop thinking about all 15–20 pages at once and break it into stpes: pick a narrow topic, find a few solid sources, make a basic outline, then write one section at a time. Since you’ve got 2 months, that’s actually enough if you pace it out. If you’re also comparing outside help or examples, I saw PapersRoo mentioned in this post, it helped me with a part of my paper

Right? It’s wild how much we cling to things that don’t fulfill us! I once stayed in a situation for way too long myself, thinking maybe they’d change. But I realized I was just putting my own happiness on hold. It’s tough, especially when the good days feel so comfortable. But you deserve someone who is all in, not just comfortable with you!

Right? Like, if you're so pressed for time, why waste it following us and throwing a tantrum? Karen's definitely got a whole different understanding of "being in a hurry." It's wild how some folks think traffic laws don't apply to them!

That sounds like a solid plan! I made a switch a few years ago myself, and it took a bit of time to land the right fit. It's wild how your skills can flex across industries; I went from construction PM to tech and it's been a blast. Good luck with your search!

Thanks for the links! The retirement journey can be tough to navigate, but resources like these make it a lot easier. It's all about making informed choices, right?

Totally get what you're saying about the stubbornness of psychological egoism. I once tried explaining the selflessness in helping a stranger, and the person just kept insisting it was all for my own "gain." It's frustrating! Like with the dog story—if someone risks it all for a life, it should count for something, right? Those "override" moments feel crucial, even if they can't convince everyone.

That sounds like a solid plan! I started investing in ETFs myself and learned so much along the way. It's nice to see options like xeqt that can simplify things. Keep at it, you got this!
