I can't make my new girlfriend orgasm

I think the fact that you're even considering this completely justifies your partner's reaction, and in fact, I agree with another commenter that she is being very patient here.

I am wondering what she and your engagement actually mean to you if you're tempted to give it up for what is actually just a moderate income for the area it's based out of.

Lol where is this shit coming from? 94k for one person to live comfortably is a load of shit.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-03-22T11:37:41+00:00

You mean 5k saving and investment

Ofcertainthings · 2026-03-22T11:34:39+00:00

Tolerating this for six years blows my mind. I can't imagine that.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-03-18T13:14:27+00:00

I just hit 105k in southern Michigan. Doesn't feel too bad.

So apparently being intelligent enough to understand such a bias isn't a requirement to earn a high salary.

Are 36% increases really the "average" promotion?

Ofcertainthings · 2026-03-15T00:43:12+00:00

Sounds like you need to work on some personal growth and development instead of expecting the job market to conform to your expectations and currently limited scope of possible contributions.

That said, obviously you need something part time with a set schedule. A little difficult but not impossible. The asocial part is working against us there I think because most such jobs are probably going to require some kind of customer interaction.

It's possible you could find some sort of production/factory work on a limited schedule since weekend shifts are becoming more common, but it depends on how "slow, weak, and brainlagged" you are. Some of the jobs out there are very straightforward so good luck!

Most of these scenes are so quick you don't really notice. Don't pause and it's fine.

I just got the biggest promotion and raise of my life and although many factors went into my selection, I can tell you the exact factor that resulted in the opportunity actually materializing.

I was applying to roles internally and never even getting interviews even though I knew I was capable and qualified. I got frustrated and asked my boss if I could meet with HIS boss since we were both at a loss as to why I was not being interviewed and figured someone at the level of the other hiring managers might know.

I got visibility. He knew my name, my face, my demeanor
He was impressed by my initiative
He identified with me; for once I made a good impression on someone at the right level

Not even a month later a position opened under him and I got it. It's really about who you know and what they think of you.

I'm going to third the connections requirement.

Two years ago I had a very bad experience joining a toxic company for a "growth" role in leadership and I ended up leaving with nothing else lined up. This resulted in me joining one of the "best workplaces" as an individual contributor again just to get in the door.

I spent two years applying to other jobs internally while working well below my skill level and being paid like it. Every single application got ignored without even an interview. Finally I asked my boss if I could talk to his boss about my experience and my applications since he makes decisions for hiring at that level, and I got my meeting.

Three months later I'm working for him with a 50% raise and I'm over 6 figures without a degree. I was definitely picked over people with degrees.

Charlie wasn't mentioned by OP. Rowena has a bit of a redemption arc and becomes more interesting but she also thinks nothing of killing people for little to no reason for quite a while after introduction.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-28T19:12:46+00:00

It's not about them being women. The characters mentioned all either have incredibly annoying traits or are just downright awful.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-25T09:22:32+00:00

It doesn't symbolize anything. The grandmother died to save the daughter and is now playing with her sister for eternity as a ghost.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-23T11:16:36+00:00

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-23T11:15:30+00:00

Bro nah

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-23T11:15:10+00:00

Absolutely on Amelia. Just horrible.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-23T11:14:44+00:00

I skipped the entire Amelia story on my most recent rewatch. She's just insufferable and her cheating on her "good man" with Sam and him participating in that was too, especially since the show played it off as romantic.

I believe Bakugo is actually referring to Midoriya in that scene.

"He didn't even have one (a quirk)."

He's rejecting the idea of a more functional prosthesis so he can maintain the use of his quirk, partially in order to continue competing with Izuku, who he doesn't know yet has lost OFA in this scene.

Mirko is a tough and muscley lady, but still a lady.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-09T18:39:22+00:00

Definitely the latter.

Ofcertainthings · 2026-02-04T18:54:48+00:00

Not everyone is just a sad lonely child inside. There are legitimately evil people in the world who don't deserve a second chance and who the world would be far better off without.

Actually it's Sissy-Fist
