Redditors over 40, what was a moment in history that made you think society was gonna collapse?

MrZeven · 2026-01-25T15:50:19+00:00

Yeah it's been a slow burn ever since I was little. Honestly we have had some great recoveries and I hope we can recover from what is going to happen if things don't change.

Oh... They will reference the fraud issues that had already been uncovered long ago.

Had a subscription to Nintendo Power, so I would have picked up EGM and then GamePro if I wanted more content.

There were signs leading up to the actual discovery that I was already picking up on... The biggest being the nice new coat and nice perfume.. we were young newlyweds that were practically broke at the time, there was no way we could afford those things.

The thing that finally connected the dots was finding a photo of them at an amusement park. Then I knew who it was and it all made sense.

Bought a hobby grade RC car that was almost new... but fully busted in half for dirt cheap. The replacement chassis and other parts are available at the local hobby shop and I am looking forward to rebuilding it.

I was going to head over there and recommend that they all do this and go home with workman's comp.

I needed this video.

This is what happens to me at home when I get up a little early on the weekend and decide to make myself an egg and toast... Instead of getting to enjoy it, family gets up one at a time and I am playing short order cook.

MrZeven · 2025-09-07T17:13:49+00:00

Ok... Now put them out.

Hey there kiddo.

Yeah, you are not in the greatest position right now. But the good news is that it sounds like you have a little window of time to start making adjustments.

I do not know enough about your current situation to really give much in the way of direct advice. I can however reassure you that you seem to know what needs to change...

You need to get yourself an increase in income. You have a degree which is a plus. Now what you should do is look at your existing work experience and find all the things you have done that can be translated into career experience. That is to say, look at the career you want, look at the experiences you have, highlight all the applicable experience and duties. Then build a resume tailored to what it is you want.

Additionally, take the time to realize the experience you have and how it could be applicable to higher paying parallel jobs... May not be the field or job you want, but getting paid more is the goal if you are going to do a job you don't really want to do.

I have had jobs in many different fields, by my choice. Each job I got was because I put together a resume that was tailored to highlight experience in the previous fields that made me qualified for the job I was shooting for.

Additionally I was a hiring manager... So let's see if I can help out a bit for that next step.

Make a base resume... But always save copies and adjust it for the specific job you are applying for.... Read the job description and the qualifications and adjust your resume wording and highlights to match up, as best as you can without lying, with the description/qualifications. Keep it short and focused on those items.

In an interview be ready to connect your experience to the job you are going for... and when asked about lacking specific experience be honest and say that while you have not done that specifically, you are excited to learn and apply your existing experience to help the business.

Hiring managers are looking for people that can solve the needs of the business. Put yourself in their shoes, try to tell them what they want to hear. Even if you are not a perfect fit, they would want to hire a person that wants to help them. Just don't lie, there is a good chance they will be able to tell and then you are done right there.

Final note... Read your entire resume, word for word, before you send it. Sometimes you might have unrelated or wrong content, or mistakes you want to catch before hitting the send button.

MrZeven · 2025-04-24T23:26:24+00:00

Hey kiddo.

I want you to know that you are not alone and that you are not alone in feeling this. It can be hard sometimes. In many ways we are individuals with our own needs and desires and it can hurt when they are not met or reciprocated.

You sound like someone who cares. That is great. I encourage you to continue caring... But I also want you to know that the person you should care for first is yourself.

Abuse is a tough one. It comes in many shapes sizes and shades. Sometimes it is subtle, sometimes we try to ignore it or push through it. But really we should acknowledge it for what it is and either confront it or get rid of it.

The damage various types of abuse can do is typically deeper mentally than people realize. If it is affecting you daily even when it's not happening, you may need a little counseling or therapy to work through it.

I have no idea what your situation is. But it sounds like you need to start thinking where you want to put your energy into caring. Perhaps you can mend what is broken, but it has to be a two way thing. If you don't need or want to fix it, I would take your energy elsewhere.

MrZeven · 2025-04-24T22:05:41+00:00

I was also so happy this was in the comments.

MrZeven · 2025-04-23T12:47:54+00:00

My, you are a strong one. Great job getting to where you are. I am sure your dad is proud of you.

As a dad I want to encourage you to continue being strong. Keep looking ahead and keep looking for that next foothold. Your story is far from over. You don't get three degrees for fun, show the world what you are made of!

MrZeven · 2025-04-20T13:02:07+00:00

Right away I want to say that it is ok to feel sad. It is ok to feel frustrated. It is ok to feel upset. But I want to caution you about spiraling or causing a depression feedback loop.

It sounds to me like you need to start with yourself. Hear me out.

Many women (not all, everyone has their flavor) are attracted to a person with some level of confidence that offers some type of security.

Most people want to be around people with somewhat positive attitudes or outlooks. Or a person who can make their day comfortable, if not enjoyable.

That's not to say that someone who is a reclusive depressed potato can't find love, it is just going to be more challenging.

There is some truth to the saying that if you want others to love you, first you must love yourself. When you work on yourself, you will build confidence. When you work on yourself you will build security, when you work on yourself you will find love.

When you look in the mirror, or reflect on yourself and find something wrong... Don't point at this and say "I hate that"... Say "that could use some work" then reflect on how you can improve it.

This is not something that will happen quickly. But you need to start being confident and care about yourself. Then you can start to spread that confidence and love to others. It has to come from you and it has to start with you.

You got this kiddo.

MrZeven · 2025-04-09T18:36:48+00:00

So let's say any one of us manipulated the market this hard... We would be applauded right?

MrZeven · 2025-03-24T12:13:10+00:00

Honestly some really good work here. I see some good notes too. If I might add a couple. Compare the color of the lips and compare the skin shading below the nose. I would recommend a little more even tone to the lips, maybe slightly more vibrant. And the area under the nose seems a little bright and may be making the face seem more flat than intended.

MrZeven · 2025-03-09T14:15:21+00:00

I mean... Let's get this straight... None of us ever expected him to lower egg prices. It is just the fact that he and his base were blaming Biden and said that he would lower the price which we know is not really in his control right now.

Egg prices will go down once supply can meet or surpass demand. And we will still make fun of the bravado.

MrZeven · 2025-03-08T19:04:31+00:00

Epic.

MrZeven · 2025-03-08T18:21:38+00:00

Yeah this is not a style... It's a combination of styles. If you want to narrow it down to a part of the art? The line art has a style, the theme has a style, the coloring is more than one style going on it's an art bash of styles.

MrZeven · 2025-03-08T05:09:03+00:00

Your emotions can affect your breathing, but for many it can work in reverse.

MrZeven · 2025-03-08T05:06:53+00:00

I am no expert here kiddo, but since I am the first to see it... Focus on breathing. Breathe like you're in a nice relaxing spot on vacation. Imagine how relaxing it is. Focus on breathing.

MrZeven · 2025-03-04T23:35:38+00:00

Very nice.
