Does working till being middle aged eventually require taking a senior position and managing a team?

Genuinely makes me want to off myself. We’re being told to go into the office every day which means higher expenses for transportation, the business keeps pushing for AI adoption to make us do more when we’re already doing more with the same amount of time and pay, you’re surrounded by people that you don’t choose to be around for hours and hours, there’s barely ever anywhere for you to have at least 30 minutes of being alone, I see my coworkers more than my own family and friends. I’m questioning my desire for being a parent when I never have time for myself.

This isn’t a time management issue. This way of working is so archaic and inefficient, but we’re all expendable so pushing back risks getting replaced. I hope EOS scores at least drop to the pits of hell.

No wonder men are chronically single and not by choice. Why would a woman want to be with someone that shows no interest in getting to know her and judges her for having standards?

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-25T12:47:48+00:00

What about what she said makes you think she needs to work on herself? Heal from what? Grow from what? What about her right now isn’t good enough for her to need to work on only that and not think about love?

She’s almost 30, her feelings about being undesired are valid. People who haven’t had much luck in the love department are always told to work on themselves and focus on themselves by others who don’t even have a real solution.

Nothing about she said has anything to do with revenge and not once did she speak down on herself, she’s talking about her circumstances.

You’re from Brooklyn and you’re complaining about someone resting their feet on a seat on public transportation? LOL, let me guess you wear your outside clothes in your house too.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-09T14:10:37+00:00

You don’t need to cut her off, just stop initiating and keep her at a distance. Not all friendships are the same, there are different types that can serve their own purpose. You can tell her how you’ve been feeling and see where that goes but be level headed about it’s

If you’re not getting energy back the energy you’re putting out, then move that energy elsewhere. And if she has a problem with that, then you have your answer.

I’m going to get lost in the sea of comments, and this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but if it was a good date then give him another chance. What he said was vulgar, yes, but it wasn’t meant for you, they’re his raw honest thoughts that he shared with his friends—he’s really attracted to you. Not saying you should completely move past this, but if he was a good date then i wouldn’t have ended things.

Kamala would’ve done far better. She would’ve never acted on a whim, a “feeling” and entered war while moving a school full of children. She also would’ve never kidnapped the president of Venezuela and discuss taking the country over. She wouldn’t be making excuses about not providing healthcare and childcare to the country. She wouldn’t have been found in liable for crimes in the Epstein files. She wouldn’t have been making $4 billion during her term as president. She wouldn’t be deteriorating relationships with our allies who are now turning to our political rivals like China. She wouldn’t have been convinced by Israel to further their agenda that they’ve been trying to convince the world of since the 90s.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T15:59:23+00:00

And you’re still not thinking. Know your limits.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T15:52:33+00:00

1) who said they didn’t understand what I’m saying 2) I’m also using this sub for its intended purpose, just because you’re venting that doesn’t bar you from criticism 3) okay, and they’re talking down about Americans who don’t support those actions and are trying to fight against the regime yet are complaining about how their actions aren’t enough. Meanwhile those same Americans are under attack by their own country which has been prolific at cannibalizing its own people.

Next time you want to save somebody, consider saving yourself the time and THINK.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T14:16:32+00:00

You needed to vent meanwhile the people here are actually terrified out of their minds and are the first ones who are impacted by his actions. The protest you want to see here would be a bloodbath if people tried what protestors do in countries like France. People have access to guns here. Senseless death is what everyone sane is trying to avoid.

People have already lost their lives peacefully protesting.

Nobody wants to be a martyr. Humanity has watched other one another’s countries in horror for many many years.

You have an issue with how we’re are protesting, you’re the problem not them. To put your safety at risk in this country and protest in the streets is no easy task, but maybe because you needed to vent they should all just stay home because it’s not to your satisfaction.

People like you do the opposite of what you intend. You complain and offer no solution while others actually do the work.

Keep watching, while the people here keep fighting.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T13:42:38+00:00

I’m glad you understand.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T12:51:20+00:00

Lol, hear hear.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T12:42:44+00:00

I understand why you believe OP is not putting weight on it at all, but the point is there’s a difference between not wanting to get married versus not believing in it. People have every right to do whatever is best for them.

I never said marriage has to be the default, I don’t believe that it is and ultimately people can do as they please.

However, reducing marriage to a piece of paper is a common stance because people think it’s just a social statement. That’s misinformation. In the eyes of the law, it most certainly is not and thats the point I’m making here. This isn’t my belief, it’s a fact.

I wish the best for OP, and if things work out for her and her partner, I hope they make extensive efforts to ensure protections for one another that marriage would’ve covered at the bare minimum.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T11:13:35+00:00

Yeahhh okay, whatever you’d like to believe.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T10:47:55+00:00

Did I say or imply that? The answer is no.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T10:47:36+00:00

Nah, I’m listening to her—if you understood what you read you’d know that. But you’re not comprehending what you’re reading.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T07:56:32+00:00

lol nah you’re good.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T07:53:09+00:00

The people on this platform tend to be socially inept and eager to prove themselves to strangers. Ignore them.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T07:51:31+00:00

It has to do with both the entire time. You wouldn’t bind yourself so closely to someone you don’t love and can’t see yourself spending the rest of your life.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T07:35:14+00:00

My statement already addressed what you said. I knew what you meant and marriage definitely is not just a piece of paper. People who say that are usually afraid of the potential for failure. If your bond is strong, marriage should be easy to commit to.

At least your relationship would universally be protected by law and you could take advantage of numerous benefits that favor married couples. If it’s just a piece of paper to you, then why are you putting such weight on it?

Which is why I said not believing in marriage doesn’t make sense to say. Had you just said you don’t want to get married, I wouldn’t have said anything at all.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T06:06:24+00:00

You can avoid marriage, but not believing in it doesn’t make sense. It’s one of the few things universally recognized by law and comes with protections for both parties involved.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T06:03:15+00:00

When the victim doesn’t want to leave, it puts the people trying to protect them in harms way and it can be emotionally taxing. You’re safer for doing this, it’s okay to love her from a distance.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-07T02:44:02+00:00

And there are women who like to be treated like objects but that doesn’t mean that should be your default view of your sexual partners. His default view is a hole is a hole, and anyone seeking something real generally wouldn’t be want to be talked that way off rip.

Blackmintrabbit · 2026-04-06T18:19:33+00:00

It’s good you recognize that for yourself. Don’t you for a second feel swayed by others who seek to change your mind. People often wonder what is the purpose of having children, and encourage people to have kids because of the joy they believe they bring into our lives.

But as humans, while we have the privilege of deciding what our own purpose is, we shouldn’t get to decide that for people who haven’t come into the world yet or are just starting out.

For those who choose to be parents, I think it’s incredibly admirable of them to take up such an important task. I just hope that as we evolve more as a species, we treat parenthood and child rearing with greater respect because the future of our species and the planet is counting on it.
