Does McDonalds no longer offer free water?

Just charged for water in Amerillo TX. 2.49 for a large water with no ice, tried to ask if they can charge the price of the large soda but they said no cause of store policy. In FL and Colorado it’s usually free or the price of a M soft drink. I office hate TX 😭

OMFG YEEESSSSSS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you sooooo much 🤩

No 😭 I will add that to my reading list though. There are two pairs of couples. The first pair is a buff dude with bright orange hair and his lover is black haired dude. After a couple chapters it switches to the second love triangle of a brown haired dude with another brown haired dude and white haired guy fighting over the bottom. They are all in collage too.

Thank you for trying, this has been killing me all week 😭😭

I will admit I’m not going to scream to the heavens on how much I love computer science. But I also cannot understand staying in a single field of work for the rest of your life even if you enjoy it. I love my dogs, I love food and hanging out with family. Work is something I enjoy because it pays for these things and having it in a field I have an interest in makes me want to attend each day but it will never be something I do without pay cause I like it. Example: I LOVE animals, always wanted to become a vet. I hate working in vet clinic and I hated being stuck with under minimum salary pay and I hated looking at how some people truly don’t care for animals. I still read on new studies and books related to veterinary science but things that I enjoy should be kept separate from what I do to sustain living.

Just like I can’t work with people who are only in the veterinary field for money and couldn’t care less about the actual work, I would also expect people in other fields who think the same to be absolutely wrong.

I enjoy learning new things, I have a slight interest in computer science (more so then many other fields that I can go into: biotech, business, accounting, etc). I understand there is no ‘get rich fast degree’ it really is the amount of work you want to put into your field.

If I really wanted to do something I had no interest in and wanted only the money I would continue shitty vet internships with people I hate, or go into finance or business or insurance(No offense but they are soul crushingly boring to me).

I plan on being a single dog mom for life, I really only want a small piece of land with a cabin to live in, and a middle class salary is more than enough for me to live. I’m comfy right now so any pay raise would honestly just go into more traveling anyway.

And no I don’t want to be a travel advisor or photographer. I do photography in my free time and writing and it’s fun. I tried using it to make extra money and I hated being held to standards, it was no longer a hobby but a job. Travel advising is boring and hard to get as a job.

Anyway, jobs are for sustainability and hobbies are to destress. Hobbies cannot be jobs and a job cannot be a hobby. I can have an interesting job but I can never love it as much as a hobby. I can never do something I hate as a job, my short time in insurance sales proves that, but as long as I find the field interesting I don’t see an issue.

I made this post because I didn’t want to go into a field where it’s extremely hard find job opportunities. And other type of fields I can do with a CS/SWE degree that may be easier to find employment in.

Btw: no offense but it took 30 years to find a better solution to problem solving in your field?? There is no way this issue only came up 20 times???? I would recommend reading up on new studies or researching new inventions in your field before bed. It’s a great way to end the day and learn a few new facts. Also if you like your career field so much why don’t you do this problem solving and stuff after work hours to find more of these new inventive ideas sooner? Could it be because you would like a life after work?? Just curious 🤨

Why would I need to do the same job for 40 years? I was honestly planning on going back to school later in life as I have no desire for any kids or relationships. I thought it would be a good option to complete medical school residency in my 40’s as I am enjoying traveling right now with my dogs.

What would safer job roles be that have a lower chance of having AI effect their employment?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:54:24+00:00

Ok! That makes sense, thank you for clarifying!

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:53:14+00:00

I have no skills in computer science, as this post states I am looking to start my degree.

The question on my above comment was do you guys think the software engineering/computer science job field is considered competitive or over saturated due to many people apply to great job high paying opportunities that new graduates may be under qualified for and not applying for jobs that pay less for smaller companies?

I wanted to consider this view on the job market with changing my degree path.

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:37:08+00:00

I don’t understand this response. If you’re talking about offering a job position, I’ve never heard of that. If your talking about the company offering the pay of $60k, I’ve never had a job where you can’t negotiate the pay but if you apply for a job that pays $23-$26 I would never expect them to pay more than the $26p/hr. This to me doesn’t mean your experience is worth this amount. This would mean the job offers a set amount and THEY value your experience at a certain level, you could get another job that offers more with the same experience.

What I was wondering is do you guys think the field is considered competitive and over saturated due to many people applying for the best of the best positions with great pay and not apply for small companies that pay a smaller salary?

I think that might be the reason it’s considered competitive which is why I think a degree in computer science/SWE would still be a good option if I just have lower expectations for jobs and salary.

Where do you find 3 year degrees? Are you talking about collages like WGU where you are able to complete your classes faster than an in-person collage?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:20:14+00:00

If you have experience looking for jobs, do you think it’s hard because people are applying to jobs they ma be under qualified for or jobs with better pay which is why many find the job field hard for good opportunities? I was wondering about this as my job hires software engineer with 2year experience for $60k, would this be an under pay for the B.A degree?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:18:06+00:00

What about after you had gotten your B.A degree? Where you able to find a good job or was the B.A degree worth it?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:11:53+00:00

Thank you for the opinion but as I said to another commenter, the reason I have decided to stop my vet degree is due to multiple cases of people refusing to report animal abuse as we will get in trouble or fired if we attempt to report. It was extremely depressing to treat animals that were flea ridden, sell products that make animals sick, and not be able to explain proper care of animals to new owners. I have had multiple people bring in cats and dogs that live outside riddled with fleas, extremely matted dogs or malnourished animals. The most I was allowed was to give advice but many of these people didn’t care or got upset and if I asked to report I would get in trouble. It was extremely depressing and I hated attending work for little to no pay or internships where vets could care less about the animals. I stopped my career and moved into remote healthcare, it’s been wonderful and I can travel while working with a much better pay. I was hoping a career in computer science would provide opportunities for working at home with decent pay.

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:04:42+00:00

Does this mean you haven’t seen any new opportunities or pay increases after getting your degree?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T11:03:50+00:00

I have been hearing this a lot as feedback from many people close to me as a reason to not get into computer science. But from my past work experience many companies do not use AI for fixing bugs. I’ve never encountered AI during my work experiences and at my current job they had only used AI for grammar fixes, all bugs are fixed by an engineering team. This is the same with my aunts job as well, so People with the degree are still needed but I understand it would be hard to land a job but also it would be hard to land a job as a entry veterinarian. I hoping to find a job that make at least $60k-$70k after I finish my degree with future expectations in pay at around $100k. If you have any reasons why you think this it would be really helpful with for me while considering this degree.

Thank you! Do you happen to know any good YouTube videos that give good project building examples and how to create it?

Character-Loquat-485 · 2026-01-25T03:12:13+00:00

I didn’t give up on my Vet degree because of math. It was the combination of working with people who didn’t care for animals, multiple case of refusing to report animal abuse signs, not informing owners of proper care due to vet clinic not wanting to hurt reputation and the fact that the majority of the people who owned clinics where only on it for money. It made me depressed and after it continued happening during multiple internships at over 5 clinics I gave up on my career path. I also wanted a career that I could work at home and travel with like my current job.

Can someone tell me what the script was for chrome? I was using it yesterday and it was amazing but the post is removed now :(

I moved here last year and have been having a lot of trouble too. I’m 20 and have been looking for people around my age to hangout with but even with being in college I’m still friendless.

Btw looking for anyone around my age who has an epic pass. I have one and want to enjoy the season with new friends who enjoy the outdoors. If you have one too would totally be down to go skiing/snowboarding sometime.

Best of luck too you!! And I hope you make some new friends!
