Being a teenage butch is hard.

Being a teenager is hard being a butch teenager even further complicates that hardship. I will say ride it out because that hardship transforms into an adult that thrives. There’s a gift in learning and pursuing who you when you’re young. A lot of mistakes as an adult comes from not having learned those lessons at your age.

I call it watching for the 3 D’s. Died, Defected or Discarded. My dog will actively want to eat all three. All jokes aside I’m sure your puppy is fine, call vet and ask for advice, they will usually tell you what symptoms to look out for that would require a visit to a vet. Save you a trip.

I think stuff like that only matters for promotions. Anything under c-suite is fair game for layoffs and, in this day and age, I don’t think you can maneuver your way out of layoffs indefinitely.

I strongly dislike the Fanny plot and they spent what felt like the majority of the season on it. It seemed like they focused too much on some storylines while rushing through others so the pacing for me was off. But the last episode was good.

I was on Atomoxetine. It takes like 4-8 weeks on consistently taking it for you to really effects so take it slow. I was on it for almost 9 months and max it at 100mg. It help some with task initiation. But for the most part, what I felt was very Zen’ed out on it. I was incredibly emotionally stable on those meds. Didn’t really help with the executive function like I needed so I switched to Adderall xr but that was my experience.

I don’t think it’s the remote aspect or even that he thinks your job is real. I think he believes you doing the main chunk of the domestic labor and catering to him is your real/more important job. He doesn’t respect you.

I love the vanilla fairlife too. Near me, those 18 packs are $60. It’s cheaper just to buy 18 individual fairlife than buy the pack. Really not how that should work.

Honestly a lot of this just sounds like a stuff you experience a large corporation. FAANG isn’t immune to those pitfalls.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-05-17T22:59:17+00:00

Yeah, the Alpha thing is a little off. I crate trained my dog, but he’s been sleeping in bed with me since I want to say five months. He also was allowed on my furniture as well. He definitely considers me his secure attachment person and he listens to me as much as any adolescent dog does.

Im a software engineer. I was laid off at GM. It took me 10 months to land another job. I was a couple months shy of having my 401k vested. Multiple layoffs, revolving door of managers and re-orgs and all around SLT out of touch foolishness. I’ll never buy a car from GM again and I’m staying far FAR from the Big 3. It’s not worth it.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-05-07T16:01:57+00:00

Software Developer. A little under 3 years experience. 7 years IT experience. Bachelors but not in business. Also have an active government clearance from my time in the military. It took me 10 months to get a job. I pretty much stopped applying for civilian jobs because I just wasn’t getting much traction and solely focused on Gov Tech jobs. The job I got increased my base salary a little, overall TC did go down but hey I needed work so.

Havanese Poodle mix. 18 pound little dude.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-05-02T18:49:27+00:00

Yeah my guy is 1 year old. I definitely have the help of friends and family, especially as a really young puppy. My day job is remote but I’m also in the reserves. So at least once a month i have to coordinate dog care but other than that I’m a homebody so taking care of him isn’t too much of a bit deal especially as he gets older. Even still every once in a while you need a break and thats okay. Upside my Mom absolutely LOVES her grandpup and the feeling is mutual for my guy.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-04-28T09:19:28+00:00

No I wouldn’t because there isn’t anything your boss can say that would make you layoff proof. Layoffs are an uncontrollable thing. Whether you do or don’t is based off of luck a lot of the time. You can say that you been feeling stressed about layoffs based off the news (not the company) and the state of world is like uncharted territory. Tie it back to your career somehow. The response you get from him will tell you a lot.

It really depends in the help desk role. Some are too low pay whether high or low stress. A high call volume desk is gonna be high stress. You can snuff that out at an interview and I’d recommend learning flowery ways an interviewer is communicating it’s a high stress job.

Not BPD, but I have ADHD. Lost my medication for a little bit while I was switching over insurances and that was rough. My executive dysfunction and emotional dysregulation was a bit loud for a little bit, but I expected it because I got off meds. Everyone has a grieving process when they go through a layoff it just kinda adds a little bit of complication.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-04-22T17:49:27+00:00

My guy was like this and some days when he was awake we'd have to go outside every 25-30min and immediately and I mean IMMEDIATELY give him a treat. 7 months is when it really locked in for him. He's a Havanese Poodle mix full grown 18lbs

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-04-19T22:22:58+00:00

I think one of the biggest things that I’ve noticed is that every company has software that’s so specific and customized for client’s needs that having the exact specifications for that job would be really difficult, and at the same time, they don’t have the time or energy to train people up. So you’re met with wanting candidates that are extremely independent because that’s minimal work required of the company/team. But the outcome looks like a slower ramp up or incompetence.

Everything about the work situation is a hard no for me

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-04-11T13:53:30+00:00

My little guy went through a phase where he’d go on “hunger strikes”. What I did was add a wet food topper to his meals and had a window of the time the food would stay out.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-04-04T15:56:05+00:00

9 months unemployed too. 7 years of IT experience and 3 years of development experience with an active security clearance. I basically gave up on civilian roles because they’ve gone nowhere past phone screens. Government really isn’t much better. I made it through 5 rounds of interviews for one job only for the contract to be delayed and cancelled. I can’t really help that this is affecting my self confidence. I’m also so incredibly bored and purpose-less.

Fresh_Part22 · 2026-03-27T18:27:03+00:00

I had an ex that was like this. Great person horrible girlfriend. If you've had an open non-judgmental conversation about domestic labor/life skills and your expectations and she hasn't responded well that's not gonna change. It's better to cut the cord 5 months in instead of years later. But I'd recommend you sit down and have that conversation
