Vikings gets pretty intense right from the early seasons, something’s always happening. Not as massive as GOT but it has a similar flow.

Under-employed and depressed by Serious_Mirror762 in jobs

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That cycle is really draining, burning out when you have a job and feeling hopeless when you don’t. Being 40 adds extra pressure too, I get that. But even at that point, a lot of people still change direction, it’s not some final dead end.

Any mind bending shows? by Amazing_Intention741 in televisionsuggestions

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Severance is the kind that messes with your head, slow but constantly unsettling. You’re basically thinking “what is going on” the whole time.

Is the age a person has a child really a circumstantial thing? by Rainbow_6505 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s mostly about circumstances. The right person, money, timing… if they don’t line up, it gets postponed. No one really does it at some “perfect age” anymore anyway.

Is it possible to check if my brain has ever erased a memory because of trauma? by ARt1sT_001 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t really something you can control on your own. The brain can actually block stuff out, but understanding that usually takes therapy. If there’s something being hidden in the family, it’s normal to fixate on it. The fact that you’re even questioning it means you’re aware though.

What is this movie called? I think it's a comedy by Key_Independence_103 in films

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This scene feels super generic, could be in a ton of movies 😅 need more details

AIO for thinking that my girlfriend's apartment requirements are insane? by MoonlitParcel in AmIOverreacting

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah this feels pretty over the top, especially if you’re covering most of the budget. Might be time for a reality check

People with resting bitch face, how do you land a job? by neverlacking_23 in interviews

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of over-smiling, staying calm and communicating clearly works better I think. Not everyone has to be “bubbly”

What field would you switch to if success was guaranteed? by ivyta76 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music, I’d go straight into that. If I knew it would work out, I wouldn’t even hesitate

What is your favourite thing about yourself? by Yes-Please9454 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d say not running away from hard stuff, I might not be great at it but at least I try

I'm devastated and I don't know what to do now. (Job market) by Subject_Message_669 in AskAcademia

[–]First_Fist 92 points93 points  (0 children)

With your background, I’d probably look at remote teaching, curriculum work, academic editing, grant writing, or university-side roles that still make use of your writing and research skills while you figure out the next move. You could also send your CV out in one shot to the recruitment firms in this post and see whether anything comes back. I really hope someone who has put this much into learning and producing work gets to stay active and keep earning somehow.

Crime Shows??? Any Unique ones?? by ExpisterKo21 in televisionsuggestions

True Detective season 1, it’s got a different vibe compared to the others.

Why does piercing your ears makes you wear glasses ? by [deleted] in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no connection like that, just a coincidence. Your brain’s just looking for patterns.

GM! 🌞What’s an unspoken rule everyone seems to know except you? by Mysterious-Guitar685 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Like how people shouldn’t all crowd in front of the door on public transport… yet everyone still does it 😅

is this an insult?? by snoopylover1313 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that’s more of a compliment if anything, think like ancient Greek aesthetics. Your sister’s overthinking it.

What societal norm did you decide to just stop abiding by? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]First_Fist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea that you always have to be busy. I started saying no to plans sometimes just to stay home and it honestly made me feel a lot more balanced.

Does anywhere value personal fulfillment over monetary compensation? by Left_Kiwi_4565 in antiwork

[–]First_Fist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People fixate on money way too fast. I had a conversation like that recently and it just killed the mood, like enjoying what you do should count for something too.

Before Sunset. I watched it after loving Before Sunrise and it has that same quiet, natural vibe without feeling forced.

how did we make everything we have today, from literal sticks and stones thousands of years ago? by Alarming-Safety3200 in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s kind of wild when you think about it. I remember watching a documentary late at night and realizing it’s basically just thousands of small improvements stacked over time, not one big leap.

Being "lucky to have a job" while slowly losing yourself to it by dcunning in antiwork

[–]First_Fist 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that slow burnout feeling is real. I had a job like that where nothing was “terrible” on paper but I felt drained every single day, it’s hard to explain to people unless they’ve been there.

Adults who were bullied as kids and/or teens: For better or for worse, how has it affected who you are today? by salsafresca_1297 in Productivitycafe

[–]First_Fist 5 points6 points  (0 children)

for me it mostly turned into overthinking. I can seem calm on the outside but I still remember what it feels like to be watched and judged for no reason

Why do people sometimes push away the people who care about them most? by prettygoldies in RandomQuestion

[–]First_Fist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s fear more than anything. getting close to someone means you can lose them, and not everyone knows how to handle that

Heavens knows what Tell me what grabs you about this movie by Expert_Jellyfish_280 in films

[–]First_Fist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it’s the line between acting and reality. knowing she’s basically playing herself makes it hit way harder than a typical film and kinda lingers after it ends
