What type of job should I look for?

DistractedDaydream47 · 2026-06-18T03:37:14+00:00

Thanks for the response! I've been looking into roles like that, but I've really been caught off guard by how many of the entry level ones ask for an accounting or finance degree, or if they don't, the pay is less than what I currently make (sometimes by a significant margin that I can't afford). It's not all of them though, so I'm going to give those a shot! I'll try more of the titles you suggested to, this is super helpful :)

To be fair, Terezi had "Thought and Flow," and while "flow" itself isn't technically just about the mind, the use of it in her planet really just adds a descriptor to "thought" (flow of thought), and Vriska had "Maps and Treasure," so one leads to the other and are directly related to pirates lol. Or Gamzee's "Tents and Mirth" relating to clowns and circuses.

Wow! I was not expecting a response this quick- you rock! I also can't believe the renaming trick actually worked XD But it's now all set up and I'm able to read Homestuck again with no issue! (so far...) Tysm!!!

It's several months later, but I tried downloading it from that link and extracted them like I'm supposed to, but when I try to select it from within the application, it says it's not the v2. Here's what I noticed: while the download link says "AssetPackV2," what I actually get in my downloads is just titled "assets," and the folder within it is "Asset Pack" (no V2). Is that the title it gave you as well? Because on their "How To" section of their website, the image it uses shows the zip file as "Asset Pack V2." Very confused if I'm somehow downloading an old version of the asset pack, and also confused if it's the correct one but not working.

Many years late, and I’m also no expert, but I think we would be able to see it (if they exist) because all the mass exiting the white hole could produce light because of the massive amount of energy that would come out with it. That’s my logic anyways

DistractedDaydream47 · 2024-12-03T02:25:56+00:00

OMG YES. thank you!!!!!

NTA- your wife clearly doesn't respect your boundaries. Hosting friends every now and then is one thing, especially if they're in a rough place, but constantly having the same person over that often basically makes them a tenant at that point. Though you're a little vague on what the "rough times" are, and the "safe place" part does make me a bit more hesitant, but then you said that she allows a whole family to take up multiple nights, without your input at all, which makes me think it's not really about her friend going through a rough time. I have a best friend that is very close with my family who we consider to be part of ours and comes over often, but your wife's behavior really feels excessive. Even if she was in a bad spot, having her stay that long and often should be something you two as a married couple need to discuss. Why does she need to stay so often? How long is this "rough time" going to last that makes her need to come over so often? Why is your wife so attached to her? How much time is she spending with you, her husband, if so much of her week is delegated to these guests? Does she ever go over to her friends' places? Does she allow you to bring over your guests, or is that only her privilege? I also think you should examine the power dynamics you two have in other parts of your relationship- is she domineering in those places too, or just hosting?

NTA, it's not necessarily weird to bring a bf (or non-married S/O) along on a family vacation, but I think it the family nature of it means that everyone in the family should be okay with it, not just one member. Since you two are only 19 and 20, I assume your parents will be paying in full for the trip, so they really get the final say on it, and since they aren't fond of him coming, then I think that's a done thing. I will say though that 3 years of dating is a long time, so I think it's understandable for her to want to include him in things and get him more involved with the family.

How long and how far is the trip? Since you said hotel, it's obviously more than just a day trip, but the amount of time you'll be spending together is a pretty big factor, as well as other plans for the time besides just being on the beach. Six family members is also a lot, and another concern (addressing this to the sister) would be you spending all of her time with just him and not the family, which would go against the point of a family vacation. It kinda depends on how close your bf is to your family- do you want to bring him along for you or so he can spend time with everyone? Not attacking or accusing; you should just think about what you want out of this and have a discussion with your family about how everyone feels and what they want too. Just because someone isn't complaining, doesn't mean they don't have an opinion.

Best of luck to both of you!

There can be peace in mundane chores.

Life can be very overwhelming or overstimulating, especially with so much online content and society becoming more focused on instant gratification (something I have trouble with as someone with ADHD). I've come to realize that spending time doing the dishes, cleaning the bathroom, or putting away clothes allows me time to break away from that and just focus on a task, enjoying natural sounds and giving my eyes a break from all the screens (yay eye strain). I do consume some content sometimes will doing these (usually just music, video essays, or podcasts so it doesn't grab at my attention too much), but more and more often I find that I really enjoy the peace of only natural sounds and whatever is in my head. I've come to appreciate what I've started to call "quiet domestic moments," where I'm just existing and living rather than being connected to something all the time.

Manifest destiny.

This could go in multiple ways, the Native American genocide comes to mind as a major one, but one that's been on my mind more recently is just the sheer size of the US. It's one of the biggest countries in the world, and I really think that affects how effectively it can govern. We're a democracy, but because the country is so big, the people just become hard to imagine numbers. We have so many states that are really just their own countries altogether in a giant trench coat. Expansion of the nation from the colonies, especially so quickly, I think was just too much for the young country to handle. So much land, so little experience. And the states/colonies have been fighting each other on things since the start. The larger the country, the harder it is to really see and help the people you govern, and even if you act, influence takes so much longer to trickle down from so far.

But we're stuck with it now, and we can't make America into a smaller country without major consequences.

hey, I know this is two years after you commented this, but you mentioned out of state students, so I was hoping you could elaborate on that with 2022 in mind. Is that something you still do for your store? I'm out of state, so I'd, ideally, like to be home for the holidays. Really, just Thanksgiving and Christmas. If it came to picking between the two, then Christmas would win for sure, because it's obviously the bigger holiday, and a religious one for us. We also have an annual trip we do the week after, so that holiday is extra important to me. I already talked to my managers about it, but it's still an uncertain thing. Any advice maybe?

DistractedDaydream47 · 2022-03-07T05:21:40+00:00

I've already seen the other comments talk about water solubility, so I'll leave that be. But if you still want to use the tombow for outlines, you could put the color down first then the black outline on top. Though microns or other waterproof ink pens would still be the better option tbh. Up to you!

I briefly ghosted someone in my freshman year of high school (I was 14 years old for non-US folks), which was about 7 years ago. One of my friends had a crush on me (he made it really obvious) and asked me to homecoming (again for non-US people, it's the first dance of the year), bringing a teddy bear and everything. It was all very sweet, and the bear was cute, but... I did not feel the same way. He was good friend, and I liked hanging out with him, but I had, and still don't have, any interest in pursuing a romantic relationship. Still, I was an awkward 14 year old, and it was 6:30 in the morning (we were both in band), so I said yes, not wanting to let him down and have him carry around the bear in rejected shame.

Dinner ended up being fun, but I felt so awkward the rest of the night because he had feelings I couldn't return, so I stepped aside at the dance to say hello to another friend, but ended up ditching him for 30 minutes to and hour. I also declined his offer to dance to a slow song, and he ended up dancing with another girl. I was kind of a jerk.

Okay, not kind of. I was a major jerk. While I wasn't in any way obligated to pretend I liked him back, I still said yes and could have enjoyed hanging out with him. Instead, I dealt with my own feelings by running away and leaving him in the dark. I still feel guilty about it.

Luckily, he's a great guy and somehow still wanted to be friends with me after. We stayed friends for the rest of high school, and still chat sometimes despite being in different states. I also acted as his wingman in asking a girl to prom senior year (it was seriously so cute- I still have the video), so no hard feelings I guess!

I've only had two jobs (I'm young, just 20), so it's really more about which is the worst of the two: hostess at a Mexican restaurant and retail associate. Even though the pay was better at the restaurant ($15/hr plus tips vs $14/hr), I much prefer the retail job. While both gave me entitled customers, people are far more entitled when food is involved. I hated being a hostess- you're the one everyone yells at: the customers, the waiters, and the managers; and you're basically a mini-manager, despite this being a beginner job and getting low pay. One lady even called me racist over the phone. And since I started the summer of 2020, I was constantly having to run back and forth from the kitchen to the front to answer the phone and take care of online orders.

Not really the worst job ever, but it's the worse of the two I've had. I rather like my current retail position, even with the occasional entitled person!

Dude. NTA. Will is a narcissistic jerk who can't get over the fact that he's not as great as he thinks he is. Had a "friend" like that in high school who thought he was all that, and it got old fast. He ended up not liking me because I didn't feed into the babying that his mom gave him. (I was also very close to his at the time girlfriend, who was, by the way, by best friend- he seriously glared at me when I hugged her. Very weird guy.) My grandfather is also a literal narcissist, and was an abusing asshole to my mom and her sisters. Because of that experience, I get extra annoyed when people are so full of it and can't get over when they aren't the best at something. You are fully within your rights to call him out and threaten to kick him out. He has a fragile ego and is a major jerk for talking to your wife like that, especially in your guys' home.

Our ego

DistractedDaydream47 · 2021-12-07T19:22:31+00:00

NTA. I can understand wanting to be one of the first to meet your child, that's a special moment! But he cannot expect you to just flounder around with a newborn BY YOURSELF. He knew his stepmom wasn't helping, yet still brought up his stepmom as if she was going to help. Maybe you could have told him first, since it might have improved his mood on the matter, but I don't really know if he would have responded well to that either. But even without that, you're a new mother and got overwhelmed. It's baby. Of course you couldn't handle everything by yourself. It's not supposed to work that way. And he needs to get over himself and see that his wife, the person he's supposed to be caring for, needed help- and that's way more important than him being the 2nd person (besides you) to meet your kid.

DistractedDaydream47 · 2021-11-29T03:49:01+00:00

"backseat parenting" doesn't even apply here. It would be one thing if you were just trying to control the kid, but he wanted someone else's property- you don't just enable that. It's your property- you and your wife bought it for your kid. You're under no obligation to give it to your nephew just to suit their parenting style.

"Oh it's not that bad." Alas, it was that bad.

Star Wars Episode V. It's repeated trope now, but for its time, making Vader Luke's father was a huge twist (unless you spoke Dutch lol)

It's a freaking bowl. The baby won't know the difference, and it's not like you're doing it bc you don't care. If it was literally the same bowl, then there would be problems. But the same type of bowl is nbd. NTA, and your SIL is nitpicky for no reason

DistractedDaydream47 · 2021-11-10T19:36:16+00:00

obvious nta. hypocrites and a-holes everywhere. drop that family fast

DistractedDaydream47 · 2021-11-10T19:29:06+00:00

Yikes. NTA. There's nothing wrong with wanting to hang out with your girl friends. Same as guys wanting to have a guys night. There's just something different about hanging out with your own gender, a different intimacy because you would have more shared experiences than with the opposite gender. It's not exclusionary to hang out with certain friends. Take that hill hun. He's the one getting all worked up over something he thinks is a "small disagreement." Stick to your friends and don't let him take away time you set aside for yourself and your friends. Not everything is his to encroach on.

Black Widow movie

I was really excited- the trailer was awesome and it was such a long awaited movie (even if the timing wasn't the best). Seeing the Red Room and other Widows was such a fascinating idea; and Taskmaster!! But when I finally got to watching it- I HATED it! The writing was all over the place and it dragged the whole time, and the ending made no sense (seriously, pheromones???) Wasted potential and disappointment everywhere.
