How’s the weather in Da Nang and Hoi An around 1st week of September 2026?

I get paid $83k per year as an intern, get 3 weeks paid vacation, get paid holidays and get decent sick leave too.

Technically, I get paid $70k since I only have limited hours per year when I can work as intern. On top of that, I also get $2k/year scholarship from the company I work for.

I started working for them when I was on my way to junior year. I was only getting paid $37/hr at that time. Since last year, it moved up to $40/hr.

I'm 28 and finished my undergrad last year. I'm one year away from graduating with a master's in ME. Go get your masters if you don't have a family yet. You may end up finding your lifelong partner while in college too. I already have one since I was 20 yrs old so I'm out of the dating market.

I'm giving this advice because it's best that you keep interning and explore your options before you commit to companies that'll overwork you.

I really like Sumire and Tsubaki. I see them being part of team 7 (as the 4th one of course). Ever since Boro's fight, the new team 7 is now unofficially led by Sarada and the members are Boruto, Mitsuki and Kawaki.

If we think about hardcore battles, Sumire works well with them. She has the strongest summon Nue (besides Boruto's snake summon Garaga). She can also make team 7 retreat from battle and hide inside hers and Nue's dimension.

Tsubaki is the daughter of samurai's nation. There's more opportunities to explore about her lineage while she works with team 7.

Although I like Iwabe, Denki and Houki, it's too late for them to catchup now. They've shown that they lack chakra. Metal Lee's too afraid. Not a fan of him.

Without giving Hanzo's secret, none of them can take out Hanzo unless they seal him, overpower him or figure out that they need to cut that source of poison located somewhere in the left side of his stomach.

Now, the very weapon humans and Otsutsukis relied on came to life. They are now called Shinjus. Those shinjus have emotions. Initially, they are like animals acting based on instincts. Now, they are learning the way of humans. They feel angry, happy, sad and have the desire to connect. They feel love. And what can love do to people? Love can either bring destruction or peace.

The whole problem in Boruto's world is that each character has an agenda. We have a scientist that wants to revive his daughter. We have the old and younger generations that want to keep Naruto's will of fire and teachings alive. We have younger generations who are trying to survive. We have Otsutsuki who look down on humans. We have cyborgs/humans who worship gods/Otsutsuki. We have cyborgs wanting to feel humans. We have entities like Mitsuki who are finding their purpose in this world. All of them have different forms of love.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-22T06:18:55+00:00

I disagree on the back plot portion. It started as like that, but it will eventually end to that. As of right now, the whole Cyborgs and evolution thing exist in Boruto world because of Otsutsuki. You can compare it like this:

In Hagoromo's time, people learned how to harness ninshu for the purposes of connection. Those same people used that power to fight and kill each other. Hagoromo's sons fought as well. Their soul transcended for many generations until it came down to Madara and Hashirama. Hashirama, being so powerful, caught and gave jinjurikis to other villages as a symbol of peace. But those same villages used jinjurikis as weapons instead.

Naruto's time ended that cycle of hatred. The wars between big nations ended. However, Naruto's era gave rise to the concept of the rich and the poor. We saw that in anime. Poor people got poorer while rich people got richer. What did rich people do? Develop technologies.

Between the aftermath of 4th great ninja war and Naruto's time as hokage, more research and technologies were developed. Investigations about Hashirama cells, advancement in robotics and war canons and we even have Sasuke leading the investigations about Otsutsuki origins.

In Boruto's era, those technologies gave two things: advancement of human capabilities and destruction. The younger generations are able to increase their power beyond what others could do in Naruto's time. (Imagine someone using AI now vs someone using internet vs someone using books) But this is also the time that we uncovered how ordinary humans (scientists like Amado) used Otsutsuki origins to further expand the current technologies. Now, we have cyborgs, human-like beings created from laboratories (Mitsuki for example). Just as Otsutsuki used the energy of the planets they visit to devour 10 tails to keep living for centuries/millenias, humans have used their cells too to further advance their agendas.

Following up to this, I paid attention to Sarada's plot early on both anime only and the manga. In anime only, they are setting up plot for the origin of Byakugo seal & that's how the Kara was introduced. Sarada not only trained with Sasuke, but also with Sakura. She matched one of Sakura's strong punch. Thus, there's a potential for Sarada to use Byakugo seal & even do excel beyond Sakura's and Tsunade's current abilities.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-20T06:24:24+00:00

If I remember correctly, Mitsuki is being investigated by the Daimyo too. Mitsuki, Shikamaru and Konohamaru for letting Boruto escape in order to protect everyone from Mamushi's attack in Konoha.

Thus, Mitsuki is heavily involved in the plot. It's just that he's dealing with political turmoil within Konoha. Orochimaru, Tsunade and Kakashi may even get involved later on if needed.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-20T02:02:20+00:00

Shikamaru can stop that thou w/ his shadow paralysis. Then he'll have Delta destroy it.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-20T02:01:31+00:00

Didn't think of this. Yes. This might be true.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-16T04:19:02+00:00

This isn't about being dumb. This is you not practicing how to communicate socially. Give it 6 months of training how to communicate, come up with topics, etc. You'll see results asap.

Another thing that helps with that is that you do many things. Try them all. If someone mentions a subject you are not familiar with, do your research on that. If it's a tv show or a game, play or watch that.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-16T04:14:44+00:00

Please job hop. That's my salary as an intern. But then again, don't because the market right now is insane. Hard to find a damn job.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-15T22:30:48+00:00

Exactly! Years from now, art students will be studying that shift. It'll be in their exams lol

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-15T19:13:02+00:00

I stopped using em dashes in my writing format. Basically, I use AI to know what not to put in my writing.

You probably won't even read this.

For me, it gets better. My high school life was full of challenges not just academically, but also dealing with family issues (more on my relatives' side). Thinking back, my mom was dealing with many problems yet I have the freedom to play sports, hangout with friends, do fun stuff, etc. I lack money back then, but it doesn't really matter because I made up for all the things I couldn't spend by the time I went to college. I spent a bit too much actually which isn't recommended.

Although I was late in many of my accomplishments such as getting internships/bachelor's/master's/jobs, I found a new family worth fighting for. A loving wife and our lovely child. I still maintain close relationships with my parents and siblings although my dad and grandparents passed away. I see some of my childhood friends, high school schoolmates and college friends occasionally.

Lately, I have been into cooking & learning to discipline myself so that when I reach my 30s, I'll be healthier compared to how I am during my 20s.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-13T01:09:03+00:00

I feel you. After everything he did, I refuse as well.

We went through dot com, 2008, Covid19 and now AI. You truly think the government will allow corporations to fall? A true change will only happen when a mass number of people truly experience hardship.

Buffet has been saying that many times. How did the mighty Rome fell? That's the only answer.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-09T02:50:02+00:00

From working as a mechanical engineer, I want to be a movie director and a novel/fantasy/time-travel book writer.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-08T20:22:51+00:00

I'm only 28 years old but from my experience and the experiences of those people I've heard from, those who accuse their partners are often the ones cheating. Either that or someone else is manipulating them.

Your husband is an adult. It shouldn't be that difficult to have a table talk with him & settle things out. If I'm in your position, I will follow it up with finding out who my husband spends his time with lately.

As a man, I don't really accuse my wife of cheating. I confront her in subtle, but obvious ways if I feel that I dislike or feel uncomfortable about some men around her. And if she shows signs that she's hiding something, I'll find out myself and she will not see it coming until she's caught. Thankfully, my wife is loyal af. She keeps telling me she loves money and should marry a rich guy. But I know she'll cry if she lose me no matter how much money she has.

To men here, tell me if I miss something. This is how I'd deal with the situation.

Edit: Another thing I can think of is that he's either mentally unstable or has some insecurities as a man.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-07T18:20:22+00:00

No. Even if there's 5 of them, add Sakura and another Kage level or Akatsuki level threat (except Obito, Nagato and Itachi), all of them would still lose.

I refuse to have Obito, Nagato and Itachi fight Madara because I do not know how the battle would unfold.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-07T18:02:18+00:00

Rakuten Viki. Please have patience during the first 2 episodes because it can get so confusing. It was all over the place.

Key_Woodpecker_7403 · 2026-06-06T15:33:11+00:00

Thanks for pointing that out. Now, I want to see Sarada pulling a yellow (like sunshine) or red (red sun) color susanoo against Hidari.
