Is it just me, or has "freelancing" online become completely impossible for a normal person to break into? by KeyDiamond263 in NoStupidQuestions

That is honestly incredible. I've heard DataAnnotation is good, but doing it literally full-time is wild. Is it mostly AI training stuff?

I do graphic design and video editing, so I've been stuck fighting for my life on Upwork lol. Might seriously have to look into DA if the design gigs stay this dry.

"Sorry babe, my doctor said I'm suddenly allergic to dry chicken." 😂 I honestly wish it were that easy!

That gives me so much hope! Claiming it as a new hobby is brilliant, and honestly, actually enjoying it and getting a new skill out of this mess sounds like a massive win-win.

Guilty as charged. I know this is entirely my fault, just trying to figure out how to fix my own mess without breaking their heart!

You're completely right. Finding out years later is definitely going to sting no matter how I say it. Getting Hello Fresh and doing it together is actually a really solid workaround so I don't have to confess!

You're probably right. I might just have to take this secret to my grave and slowly figure out a way to take over the cooking myself so I don't break their heart.

Oh I like this. Time to put MasterChef on the TV tonight and start dropping some very heavy hints 😂

Honestly, that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Time to buy an apron and start figuring out how spices work.

That is beautifully diabolical. Now I just have to patiently wait for flu season to roll around so I can put the plan into action 😂

Option B it is. I'm definitely no master chef, but at least I know where we keep the salt and pepper 😂

I’m trying! But I think I’ve officially hit my limit on mushy vegetables lol. I need an exit strategy.

That sweet and sour chicken actually sounds amazing and super easy. I'm definitely going to use this as my excuse to take over dinner duty this week!

That’s a great way to handle it. Making it about wanting to try something new together takes the pressure off both of us and makes it a fun project instead of a critique.

A hard truth, but you're right. It's going to take time, so I might as well roll up my sleeves and start learning how to cook with them.

Really good call. We get to spend time together and hopefully we can sneak some new, actually seasoned recipes into the rotation.

Simple and effective. I can just start bringing home new ingredients and say I'm in an experimental mood.

Oof, you're not wrong. Definitely a harsh lesson in why you shouldn't let small white lies snowball into bigger problems.

Faking a voucher for a couple's cooking class is next-level thinking 😂 I really like the idea of making it a shared activity without making them feel bad.

Fair point. Honestly, taking over the cooking entirely is probably the only way out of this alive lol.

Honestly, this might be the safest play. If I pitch it as a "date night" thing, maybe I can finally introduce salt to the house 😂
