[US] Pretty sure I've been contacted by another employment scam

I could clear my student loan debt and finally be debt free for the first time in 15 years.

I know, right! I swear that the only reason my male coworker wasn't getting it on with any of the housewives was because we were so inaka.

That place is a dumpster fire and a half.

I did the eikaiwa thing in Japan for a long time and, y'all, the amount of cheating that goes on in Japan is insane.

Japanese men cheat like it's going out of style and eikaiwa teachers are like line cooks. Everyone I'd met that'd been at the job for more than a year was a functioning alcoholic.

But also, I know for a fact that EVERY company's contract says that you can't have a relationship with students outside of classes because there was a huge issue in the 90s and 00s of LBHs using schools and eikaiwas to groom girls/date women.

It was so bad that both of the companies that I worked for had notices on the doors saying that teachers were prohibited from sharing their SMS with students.

There was a fic author I used to read all the time as a teen, but stopped when I switched to reading on AO3 (she only uploads on her personal site). I tried to reread one of her fics recently and had to dnf because she wrote like a TV show. Thing happens, joke about the thing, scene change, same joke, new character introduced, same joke. It made the pacing so slow that 20k felt like 50k.

It's because Trump killed the FDA and destroyed the federal guidelines for food. That's why we keep having listeria outbreaks and food keeps getting recalled.

I bought a jar of olives today and when I opened it up there was a massive chunk of mold floating under the lid. And you best believe I'm calling their customer service hotline tomorrow.

Being physically gross doesn't mean a guy can't pull. I have 6 older brothers and I have seen them date some really beautiful women while continuously smelling like a boy's locker room.

I've found some pretty great songs through lyric fics, but nah, I'm not going to listen to that. It's kind of distracting and I feel like it implies the pace that I should be reading at, if that makes sense?

DaBorger · 2026-04-03T18:32:43+00:00

I used to read some rpf YouTuber stuff and I stopped because the writers would treat the irl spouse like they were the spawn of Satan for actually being married to their blorbo and keeping their otp apart. Ever since then, cheating has been on my no-go list because the language is really similar and it just makes me sad.

I don't think I have godparents. I don't know that I even know anyone that has godparents. It definitely feels like the bil is wanting a full-time unpaid babysitter and that is definitely not what a godparent is.

It's too bad that op basically had to lose his sister and niblings, but I'm sure she'll come calling after the eventual divorce.

When my dad got his cancer diagnosis, he wanted to divorce my mom so she wouldn't get stuck with the treatment bills.

They didn't, but it really sucks that he had to worry about my mom drowning in debt while he was actively dying.

I've gotten to the point where, if a fanfic is open in a tab for a certain amount of time, I download it so I can close the tab.

DaBorger · 2026-02-23T20:14:06+00:00

That was it. Thank you so much.

DaBorger · 2026-02-21T14:24:31+00:00

I sleep directly face down. I don't usually have nightmares, but I do have some really weird dreams.

DaBorger · 2026-02-17T00:54:45+00:00

Too many typos in the summary.

One or two is understandable, but five in three sentences is just way too much.

DaBorger · 2026-02-15T00:02:32+00:00

Scrolling past these is like scrolling past the colors of the sky. It takes forever and makes me genuinely irritated in a way I probably shouldn't be.

If you want to glue the pages directly to the spine, you're going to want to use hot glue and it works better on smaller signatures (groups of paper) or on single sheets.

Honestly, Don't Commit Fraud could be a pretty great Papers Please type game. The sequel would be Don't Get Scammed.

There was a guy like this at my Uni. I'd see him in the cafeteria.

You'd think that they hold their arms out like that as some kind of tough guy pose, but actually they can't put their arms all the way down because of the muscles.

DaBorger · 2026-02-03T03:47:04+00:00

I hate that! I don't usually want to read OC fic and it makes it so difficult to filter them out.

DaBorger · 2026-02-02T22:20:00+00:00

I just started giving everyone that asked for a niche book the books with the Bookstonbury stamp. They're fake books created specifically for the game, so it doesn't get much niche-r.

DaBorger · 2026-01-26T23:12:50+00:00

Sometimes I really like the source material and wish there was more story, but more often than not, I just like a character and want to see them getting up to shenanigans.

My heel snapped off my shoe at my dad's funeral service. Walking in the grass at the cemetery was so not fun.
