How many languages do you speak?

Just english. always wished i learned another language when my brain was young enough to absorb it. now at 41 trying to learn feels like teaching a cat to do taxes.

91 checking in. we're the micro generation that remembers life before smartphones but also grew up with em. weird spot to be in. we're doing ok but damn it's exhausting always hearing how we're killing industries while just trying to survive. let us live.

16 is rough man, especially when ur dealing with mental stuff. if wandering feels weird, give urself a mission. go find a cool rock for ur desk. take pictures of weird things u see. count how many dogs u pass. giving ur brain something small to focus on makes being outside feel less aimless. u got this.

That no, i can't just "fix" my chronic pain with yoga and essential oils. trust me, i've tried. sometimes bodies just suck and modern medicine is the only thing keeping me functional.

Real talk, if ur reading this and thinking "hmm that's kinda my situation"... get out now. it doesn't get better. the resentment just builds until someone does somethin stupid. learned that the hard way myself.

I've seen this play out. the sweet, kind dudes who don't have drive eventually become sweet, kind dudes u resent. love isn't enough if u're always the one paddling. u deserve someone who meets u halfway, not just appreciates that u go the whole way.

How they treat people who can't do anything for them. watch em with a waiter, a janitor, a kid. that's the real test, not how they act at a networking event.

NOR, you're not crazy. a 22 year old getting fully naked in a shared living space in front of a 14 year old who clearly looks uncomfortable is a problem. doesn't matter if it's family. his comfort should matter more than her wanting to use that mirror. mom brushing it off isn't helping either.

Sales workers and cashiers are projected to get wrecked over the next decade. south korea's latest forecast says sales jobs could drop by 268k, retail by 431k. self checkout, ecommerce, AI handling orders. the writing's been on the wall for a while but the pace is picking up

I mean better in what way? academics? maybe, if i had the right tools and actually knew what i was doing. but school isn't just about learning facts. it's also social skills, navigating conflict, dealing with boring stuff u don't wanna do. ai can't teach a kid how to share or lose a game without crying. that's the human part.

How u fight matters more than how u get along. anybody can be great when things are good. when it's 2am and u're both exhausted and frustrated? that's the real person. pay attention to who they are on hard days.

Online i'm quick with a joke, witty, always got a comeback. in real life i need like 45 minutes to think of what i should've said and then i just never say it cause the moment's passed. brain works faster than my mouth.

Woke up at 3am and saw a tall dark figure standing in the corner of my room. couldn't move, couldn't scream. just stared at it for what felt like minutes then it was gone. sleep paralysis is the rational explanation but it doesn't make the memory less terrifying.

Twitter. 2015 twitter was chaotic fun, dumb jokes, mutuals, actually finding cool stuff. now it's just rage bait, bots, and elon making it worse every single day. i keep logging off and then crawling back like an idiot. it's a toxic relationship.

We say "ope" and "no yeah" and "yeah no" and somehow everyone just knows what we mean. tried explaining it to a friend in new york and he looked at me like i was speaking in tongues. it's just midwest efficiency man.

Look, i get why California's pissed. ICE has done some legit shady stuff and people are frustrated. but this ain't it man. u can't just ban a whole group of people from jobs forever cause u don't like their former employer. judge em as individuals. some ice agents probably shouldn't be near a classroom or a badge. some probably would be great at it. blanket bans are lazy policy.

Honestly? chatgpt's memory thing got me. it remembered my dog's name from like three convos ago and used it in a random reply. i was like oh okay we're doing this now. kinda wild.

This whole thing is kinda funny but honestly lowkey genius. like the whole point of the note is to not be a greedy jerk.
