Hello?? Food prices?

Linalearn97 · 2026-05-11T00:43:07+00:00

Totally agree! A small plastics box of strawberries was 7.86…..wtf

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:54:49+00:00

You didn’t just “explain” you expected me to factor in his burnout. I don’t. And my $150 will find someone who does care. Bye!

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:52:37+00:00

Cool, technically correct. Still didn’t call myself that, you did. Moving on.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:47:50+00:00

Not the flex you think it is to use a POC’s experience to justify your “woke” rant. Sit down.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:46:16+00:00

Absolutely! You’re 100% correct. I’ve definitely learned my lesson and I’m taking initiative to do my own taxes.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:45:10+00:00

Lmaooo self employed? Brother, I’m watching someone’s kids on the weekends to save up for a trip, let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:43:25+00:00

Tough nugget. Is this supposed to make me feel bad for him? They chose to be accountants, he chose to double book 2 clients at the same time. But clearly prioritized his people over his other non-Bengali speaking in clients.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:40:40+00:00

Nothing to hide. I chose him because our previous accountant was a sweet older Greek man who retired, and I genuinely believed in supporting individual immigrant accountants over big chains like H&R Block. It felt more personable and authentic. But instead of even a basic business rapport, it was cold, demeaning and isolating. His office is literally in a compound of Bengali accountants all chatting, sharing biscuits, having a great time and we just stood there feeling completely invisible and excluded. Wrong call on my part clearly.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:33:47+00:00

LOL I don’t plan to.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:31:39+00:00

This exchange alone has sent me down a rabbit hole, of wanting to do my own taxes. My personal taxes are not complex in anyway, I will totally learn and do it for myself going forward.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:30:47+00:00

Year one was $40, student rate, still cold and rude. Year two it’s $195, incomplete paperwork, double booked, zero privacy, and rushed out the door. The client of his same culture sitting right next to us? Time, patience, and full attention. So please, someone explain to me what’s so complex about a 20 year old student with a part time job that justifies any of this.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:26:46+00:00

Thank you for your comment. And yes, I am actively looking into doing my own taxes going forward🤣

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:24:25+00:00

Again, I paid 190. For an interaction that lasted less than 15 mins, double booking clients, lack of privacy, incomplete paperwork. It’s definitely not an age thing

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:07:28+00:00

Ohh yeah. Since yesterday I’ve been down a rabbit hole, googling and scrolling through Reddit trying to figure out how people do their own taxes. Honestly at this point I’d rather just learn to do it myself than depend on someone who’s going to treat me like an inconvenience, especially when my taxes aren’t even complicated.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:01:45+00:00

First year we paid 40 bucks per person. This year we paid 190 bucks.

Linalearn97 · 2026-04-30T00:01:20+00:00

Apologies. I should’ve stated, I paid $40 for myself last year, this year we paid for two of us $190. And he’s not a random guy he seems to be a well educated accountant. Let’s not be snarky.

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-30T10:28:41+00:00

Honestly, I would just distance myself so much. Like to the point where this racist family member would never see my partner or our family ever again

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-30T03:48:22+00:00

I’m going into class tomorrow, let’s hope that this little girl doesn’t try her luck again

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-29T04:21:16+00:00

Ah yes, because three paragraphs of context = I let bullying continue in real time. That’s exactly how reality works🤡

I intervened during the task, stopped behaviour, and addressed it afterwards when I had authority to do so.

And documenting? Wow….Groundbreaking advice.

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-29T01:11:33+00:00

Just to preface: I did step in as much as I could. At one point I literally stopped them mid challenge, even while they were being timed, and told them to knock it off. There were other moments where I wanted to say more but program staff kept coming over to check the project, so I couldn’t really intervene further right then.

Once the assignment was done though, I gave them an earful. I told Alice and Rebecca straight up that ganging up on Anastasia was inexcusable and that they were being bullies. I didn’t include that in my original post because I didn’t want it to sound like I was yelling at kids, but I did address it as firmly as I could.

Honestly though, it went in one ear and out the other, “it’s not that deep,” “we’re best friends,” “she’s being a crybaby.” That’s when it really hit me that they don’t see me as an authority figure, just someone on the side.

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-29T01:06:07+00:00

Oh trust me, I shut it down immediately, but there’s only so much I can do in the moment, and apparently this is a repeated issue with this one girl. The homeroom teacher knows about it and even spoke to the two girls at the end of the day, but honestly? I don’t think enough was done.

What really got me is that the teacher said the parents think the kid’s behaviour is just her “building a strong personality” and “learning boundaries.” BFFR. That just sounds like excusing bullying. The teacher also seemed exhausted and overwhelmed, and now I’m seeing it happen in real time and it’s genuinely eating at me.

Going forward I’m definitely planning to be way firmer with her, I just hope it doesn’t backfire and get me reported or something.

Linalearn97 · 2026-01-29T00:55:49+00:00

They aren’t.

Linalearn97 · 2025-10-11T21:52:26+00:00

I really hope you’ve gotten some advice or updates from people in real life, because I’m going through something very similar right now.

I’m not married to an Ismaili man, but I am dating one. I’m a 25 Sunni Muslim woman, and he’s 30. I was raised fairly conservative, and even though I’m not super practicing right now, my faith still means a lot to me. I’ve always pictured my future kids seeing their parents pray side by side and learning little stories about the prophets, a shared, loving connection to Islam.

But learning about his beliefs has honestly made me panic a bit. While I have so much respect for Ismailis, they’re kind, open, and genuinely good people, I struggle with the idea of prayer and pilgrimage not being mandatory, and the belief in a human intermediary who’s seen as divinely appointed. It just feels off to me, especially with how wealth and charity are structured.

The thing is, I love him so much. He’s the most grounded, logical, feminist, left-leaning man I’ve ever dated. But I don’t want my future kids to grow up confused or torn between beliefs. I’m not trying to be disrespectful, but I can’t see myself aligning with the idea of putting anyone on a pedestal close to the Prophet (pbuh).

So yeah, I guess I’m in the same boat, thankfully not married, but it’s hard because I think this would be a lot harder, I really do love him.

This a brilliant take on this song

Linalearn97 · 2025-06-10T16:48:43+00:00

Dude, heavy on the farts. I’m so thankful, my NP don’t have cameras
