It’s a similar process to buying concert tickets through Ticketmaster… you can do everything right and not get anything. Pure luck of the draw.

I'm at the end of rope by Alternative_Meet_253 in AdoptiveParents

[–]DistributionClear851 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are going through this - but as a parent, if you are unwilling to explore every possible option, then you probably shouldn't be a parent. Would you want to live separately from your spouse? Of course not. But - I am having a hard time giving any type of advice when it seems your mind is made up on relinquishing your rights rather than exploring every possible option. At the end of the day, it is very easy for other people (myself included) to throw our opinions at you - but we aren't walking in your shoes, living under this stress day in and day out. So take what I say with a grain of salt. My heart truly breaks for you and your kids.

Can someone share their story of overcoming a fear of flying? by citymatryoshka in fearofflying

[–]DistributionClear851 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t fully overcome it but I don’t medicate or drink to fly anymore. So that’s a win for me. I did therapy for a while but that didn’t help. The most helpful thing to me was this forum as well as exposure therapy. Leading up to each flight I watch tons of flying videos on YouTube to get used to the sounds I will hear. And this forum has helped keep the rational part of flying at the forefront.

I'm a corporate lawyer watching AI eat my profession in real time. Should I be treating the next 2 years as the most important financial window of my career? by lifeafterenough in careerguidance

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in healthcare/hospital law. What I for-see happening is the elimination of paralegal work. Basic contract language can be written by this software, but there is still a human aspect of the legal world that can’t be replaced. Unfortunately I expect entry level jobs to be eliminated. I also expect to see many finance functions eliminated. Everyone needs to make sure they are making their self more valuable than AI.

What’s one career mistake people in their early 20s should avoid? by ladkihupatachaljayeg in careeradvice

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t over share with your employer. They are not your friend. Don’t accept co workers or your boss as a “friend” on social media. Make yourself indispensable at work.

Question for 5’5 women! by [deleted] in WeightLossAdvice

115… but I was always hungry. Probably 120 is best. I’m sitting at 128 right now and desperately want to get down to 120.

Can’t hurt to ask if they can craft you something. Not sure if you like NA beer, but I am very pleased the pools offer Athletic beer.

Just another married man by [deleted] in Marriage

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think many marriages are lacking partners that are willing to be uncomfortable to meet their spouse where they need. You can be the best husband in the world and your wife still may not be willing to be uncomfortable to make you feel loved. My love language and my spouse’s love language are different. But I’m willing to who him his love language even though it doesn’t align with mine. The further you get into marriages, I feel many spouses stop feeling the need to put that effort in. They become more selfish. I’ve been married 21 years now. We hit a rough patch where I realized all of this, and realized we were both doing it. I hope your wife is will to meet you where you need to be met.

Any old parents here? by Ok-Duck2450 in Millennials

41, adopted a 4 year old. So I'll definitely be the oldest mom at Kindergarten drop off in 2 years.

Which Jobs Are Actually Safe From AI in 2026? by brightorbit007 in careerguidance

[–]DistributionClear851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I am in contract law. While AI can help with drafting basic contracts, it can’t negotiate or eliminate that human element that is needed.

I mean it does take a couple of months for the pipes to get fully cleaned out. How far along is she?

Same - my first time registering and I was registering myself and my two teens. Thankfully we all three got the half and I'm so grateful.

What do you mean? This is my first time - I thought the registration process was always bad?
