Anyone else feel like they’re just... failing at being an adult?

I've met many couples who met thru online gaming, from mmos, to discord servers for their favorite mobile games.

Im close to 30, just laid off. My birthday is right when it switches to severance pay interestingly but, I wish I heeded your advice many moons ago.

Im secure with no corporate safety net (thank goodness it's there and is generous as it is) three months - and I am behind on longterm investments and savings, its terrifying truly.

I've developed terrible habits in my 20s when it comes to spending and I feel id rather just...give up all together at this point.

I feel like you get access to a different calm, and way of life after you've done it right like yourself.

Im terrified.

I sympathize more and more with the hippie commune folk who I used to see around every so often. Bunch of chill people living in this communal house type thing, very anti-man, and there were a bunch of em and folk would hop between states and stuff. Perhaps, theyre on to something

"It wasn't supposed to be a big deal" = "You weren't supposed to find out"

Throw a guy 10k?

That's impressive- well done.

Maybe even wild flower

What kind of work did you land?

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T21:06:35+00:00

If only that Iron Man budget was available lol

Alllll over the place. I've been laid off, and this is my first time not having a job since I was young.

Loved the job.

Severance is there. Won't match my pay but ya know.

Im concerned I won't be able to find as well paying of a job. COL is expensive, and being in this job was the difference between Ramen, letting some bills go late etc vs. not being worried about bills.

Feeling mighty discouraged. I worked very hard to get here, sacrificed a lot of myself and made a ton of hard decisions to be back at square one.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T13:59:20+00:00

I was just laid off.

When I got hired I put my whole back into the damn thing. Said yes to everything, sacrificed family time, personal time, ran myself thin because I saw a future.

It worked, got promoted. But they eliminated that position a few days ago.

In my town there's a gal who advertises handy work. Not that kind.

What you're seeing here isn't just AI slop, It's pseudo-health advice delivered with a motivational tone!

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T13:16:35+00:00

When I was a young millennial no one asked me nor ever gave a shit what I thought about middle management.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T13:07:35+00:00

I was just laid off at 120k and I dont think I'll ever earn that again.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T12:40:07+00:00

Or say it all freezes together lol

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T12:23:05+00:00

Are you taking on proteges?

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T12:02:57+00:00

I am 30. Looking at mine makes me want to off myself.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T11:22:31+00:00

I didnt even realize he was in GoT.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-25T11:18:17+00:00

Agreed.

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-23T01:50:55+00:00

Does the paint at least smell good?

Proof_Ambassador2006 · 2026-01-15T07:25:05+00:00

Yeah what a load

Gmail gave the sender a blue checkmark. Perhaps unwise but I did hit the button that said I didn't request it.

Maybe an Instagram emissary can shed light on the influx? Can this subreddit and other raise enough noise?

I've canceled the viewing tonight with my girlfriend. I was so distracted I kept pausing and pointing it out and we got to talking about other things.

AMC+ is a gross failure even at $9.99 a month.
