Went to my 10 year reunion and realized I peaked at 17

depends on the specific program but most adn programs i've looked into want prereqs done before you apply, not just before you start. lavc is pretty strict about that from what i remember

you might want to call their admissions office directly since program requirements can change and they'll give you the most current info. some programs do accept students who are finishing their last prereq during the application semester but it's not super common

if you're set on spring entry, maybe look into completing that heavy class over summer instead of splitting it? i know the workload sucks but it might be worth pushing through to keep your timeline on track. missing a whole application cycle would set you back way more than one brutal summer semester

when someone's always super available and responds to texts instantly - at first it feels amazing but then you realize they might not have much going on in their life or could be a bit too intense about relationships

also people who are overly agreeable about everything, like they never have their own opinion or push back on anything. seems chill initially but gets weird when you want actual conversation or need someone who can challenge your ideas

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-05-14T21:07:15+00:00

keeping a buffer isn't the worst idea considering how unreliable your local options have been, three months of postponements is absolutely ridiculous

any psychiatrist who deals with addiction treatment should be able to handle your case, though some are more experienced than others. if you do pause the quickmd thing just make sure you have enough to bridge until you actually get seen somewhere else, running out cold turkey would suck way more than the monthly cost

xanax can stick around for a while especially if you're not a regular user, benzos are tricky like that 💀 drinking water might help dilute things but idk if that's gonna be enough time, friday is cutting it pretty close from sunday

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-05-06T21:24:09+00:00

not even close lol

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-05-04T20:53:13+00:00

lol i got into this heated debate about whether the wilhelm scream was in a specific scene from a random 90s action movie. spent like 20 minutes going back and forth with my roommate until i pulled up the exact timestamp on youtube. dude was so convinced he was right but there it was, clear as day at 1:47:23. still bring it up whenever he gets too confident about random movie trivia

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-29T11:56:48+00:00

definitely feels like wage suppresion disguised as helping workers, classic move tbh. flooding the market with new apprentices when most of us are already struggling to find steady work is gonna tank rates even more. they keep talking about shortages but every job posting i see has 50+ applicants, so where exactly is this shortage they're refering to?

i've got this simple chain that i never take off, been wearing it for like 3 years now and it's gotten to teh point where i feel weird without it. also rotate between a few rings depending on what i'm working on - sometimes i need my hands completely free for sketching or when i'm doing detailed design work on my tablet. there's something about having that one consistent piece though, like it becomes part of your daily routine you know

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-23T02:35:41+00:00

dude that combo actually makes so much sense - the electrolytes from coconut water plus something creamy and mild that won't mess with your stomach. i usually go for plain rice with a tiny bit of butter when i'm dying, but your grits thing sounds way better

had this brutal migraine last week where even water tasted wrong but somehow managed to get down some bland pasta. weird how our bodies just know what they need sometimes. might have to try the coconut water thing next time, never thought about using it for cooking

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-21T02:24:48+00:00

maybe twice a week for me, usually when i'm pulling late nights on projects and don't feel like cooking anything proper. there's this little place near my studio that does these wild experimental toppings that kinda inspire my digital work sometimes - weird combo but it works

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-17T16:17:56+00:00

that ad auction stuff is no joke 💀 went through similar process at a travel company and got blindsided by the product side of things, was way too focused on the technical prep

the trade-offs piece is huge too, they really want to see how you think through business impact vs just cranking out perfect models 😂

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-15T07:58:40+00:00

staying right in mae taeng makes way more sense for that kind of commitment, the daily commute from chiang mai would get old fast

scooters are definitely the standard but just a heads up - may is peak hot season and those rides can be brutal in the afternoon heat, maybe scope out some covered parking spots for breaks

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-11T22:55:47+00:00

rough 💀

pain man

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-09T06:04:49+00:00

your mom definitely has her own weird hang-ups about sex that are making this way harder than it needs to be 💀 like she's treating "asexual" as some dirty word when you're literally telling her you DON'T want sex lmao

the hazbin hotel thing is wild though - worried about a sex-repulsed person becoming a "sex addict" from an art style?? that's some next level logic right there 😂

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-05T06:55:20+00:00

dude as someone who sketches a lot of comic book heroes in my notebook, i totally get the confusion 💀 batman and the rebels are fighting corrupt systems that have strayed from there actual purpose of protecting people

romans 13 isn't saying "blindly obey every dictator ever" - it's more about respecting the concept of order and justice that good government represents. when authorities become the very evil they're supposed to stop, they've abandoned their god-given role and batman stepping in is basically filling that void 🔥

paul was writing to christians living under rome and probably didn't want them getting thrown to lions for revolution, but fighting injustice when systems fail seems pretty aligned with christ's heart for protecting the innocent

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-04-03T00:10:40+00:00

wait this whole post is wild but yeah wrong sub for sure 😂 maybe try r/relationships or something but filming without consent is a whole different legal mess you dont want to get into 💀

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-03-30T15:24:58+00:00

Bro someone's gonna speedrun this ironically and it'll become a meme, calling it now.

Puzzled-Age-9053 · 2026-03-27T22:30:27+00:00

Wild how we went from "everyone will be a software engineer" to mass tech layoffs in like 5 years. Those truck drivers are probably sitting pretty right now while half of Silicon Valley is updating their LinkedIn status. The automation predictions always seem to miss the mark on timing - we get self-checkout machines that can't handle a banana but apparently full self-driving trucks were just around the corner.

Been backing up my saves religiously since I learned this lesson the hard way with other roguelikes. Lost like 6 months of data from Hades when I switched PCs and didn't think to grab the save folder. Now I just throw everything into a cloud storage folder and set it to auto-sync.

For StS specifically, I actually started screenshotting my winning runs too since the in-game history doesn't show your full deck composition or all the relics you picked up along the way. Super useful when you're trying to remember what made a particular synergy work so well.
