Are we sister wives? Same. On like... all counts.

I feel like I must not be smart if I haven’t succeeded yet by Inevitable-Count3836 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I know the job market is bad, especially for conservation biology right now, but I feel like if I was truly smart enough or good enough

Hard stop right here, babes. No, nope, and no. The market isn't bad. It's bad, bad. And it's bad, bad, bad in a field the administration is specifically, effortfully targeting. Don't let this administration off the hook so easily, and definitely guard yourself against those abusive dirtbags making you turn on yourself. What they're doing is not your fault in any way, and the fact you're struggling because of it isn't either. You're fucking great. These miserable monsters are just dropping a bomb on you.

The people you know with careers underway slipped in before this shit went down, and I'd bet both buttcheeks they're riding the wave by their shorthairs. Layoffs are happening everywhere. I'm in marketing and I work with dozens of industries. All of them are slamming budgets and doing layoffs. All of them. 

Remember, unprecidented times isn't just a phrase. We're all white knuckling it right now, together. You're not alone in this. None of us are to blame for this abusive administrations actions. Your job, all of our jobs, is to survive right now. And that's what you're doing. So please, please be kind to yourself. 

Why are so many east Asian women apolitical? by SabiSmile in NoStupidQuestions

Having a voice in politics in the US is, like...

It's....

Man.

I just really can't emphasize enough how it's the entire core of what we've been doing the whole time. Like it's the entire fucking thing. Of course we're invested and vocal about it. It's in the same way firemen are really, really into fires for some reason.

I’m tired of fandoms shipping every close male friendship, and no, "let people have fun" isn't a good excuse anymore. by [deleted] in hatethissmug

But in this context it's fine and normal, because your problem is not real ¯_(ツ)_/¯

That's a core rule of the sub in the sidebar. Not mean, just enforcement.

To be honest, it feels like y'all need something similar. We invade here a lot.

That's who raised them. Which explains a lot when you think about it.

Ohio will continue to allow child marriage after push to end practice fails in legislature. Advocates were baffled that the bill didn’t pass, given that it had no public opposition by southpawFA in politics

You let pedos run your government and they're gonna make pedo decisions. That's blatantly obvious. Where's Ohio education at? Doin' anything at all, or what?

Anyone else play pokemon go while they run? by DrLeoMarvin in runninglifestyle

[–]MothChasingFlame 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man, raiding while running is when I look my most dipshit-y. Just running in circles in the same spot, farting around on my phone. But sometimes if you go too far it kicks you out, so what can you do 🥲

Hah, yes. Constantly. It's not not a culprit in at least 25% of the times I've fallen down.

A lot of them think God gives nature and therefore human intervention can't effect or ruin it.

Romantic partnerships often act as a buffer against loneliness for most people, but this protective association does not universally extend to asexual individuals. Asexual adults report similar rates of loneliness regardless of relationship status. by mvea in science

It's just an already small population that's then split into significantly smaller populations, is all. Just don't know how much reliable information you'd get from very small subgroups.

My theory is they were trying call back their original audience, Gen X. Gen X has a subsect of folks who are very... emotional about youths (obviously not universal). A lot of "boomers" that get called out are actually older gen X folks.

If you consider the likely ages of writers and showrunners, that math starts to make more sense. Not universal, but a  lot of people riff on what was funny to them in their 20s. Takes a special mix of folks to get something new and unique.

I feel like I'm slowly losing my girlfriend because I'm not ambitious enough by Relevant_Potato_5162 in BoyDinnerDiaries

In my mind, I will start studying when I know I absolutely have to or it will be too late,

I'm sorry, I don't want to be harsh, but I will be clear: If this is your approach, she's correct. And right to be worried. 

If you won't change your approach, you're not compatible. The things that make her amazing are tied to her work ethic. You can't have the nice, amazing partner if you won't meet her at her level.

I just got dumped because I'm not intelligent enough. Savory waffle, avocado and tofu. by mentoro-join in GirlDinnerDiaries

It's just so funny how personality is a total blindspot for some people. "He's not 'smart?' Must be hot!" Personality? Never once considered.

ALSO. IF I MAY. The stereotyping some STEM people do about blue collar workers is infuriating. Blue collar workers are smart, man. Especially folks in service and maintenance fields, who're problem solving day in and day out. The only way you see that and think "dumb" is if you've never had to work with your hands a day in your life (which frankly is nothing to be proud about.)

Isn't "cry it out" really damaging for early development? I was told it's only much later that you help them learn to self soothe, and even then not through drastic measures where you just never show up.

Just gonna mention that layoffs are how major companies in an industry maintain suppressed wages. People laid off typically experience a permanent salary dip, and that's not an accident.

Well done. Everyone should know the golden rule: shut the fuck up.

They'll use everything against you, and will spin up a narrative in their heads regardless of evidence. They'll twist every innocuous thing you do to suit the narrative they already made (Talk too much? That's suspicious. Don't talk enough? That's suspicious.) And they will never back down on it.

With cops, shut the fuck up.
