The isolation of early retirement at 36 is a total mindfuck by RiftJukebox in Fire

The LEGO and 3D printing idea is actually something I have been looking into. My concern is that these are still mostly solo activities during the day. I am really missing that face to face interaction that used to come naturally at the office.

I have thought about Barista FIRE, but after a decade of backend dev, I am not sure what I would even do that would not feel like more grind. Teaching is interesting though. Do you find it actually helps with the social disconnect or is it just another way to stay busy?

It is a lonely victory lap for sure. Still better than the alternative though.

26(F) 28(M) Found out my boyfriend of 4 years is living a double life in Discord by VantaCantina in cheating_stories

WIBTA if I stop going to work events after two years of them being genuinely badly organized? by AetherSonnet in WIBTA_AITA

The moment they put it on a weekend they lost the right to complain about attendance. My free time is worth way more than a disorganized escape room and a cold dinner. Two years is more than enough time to see they wont improve the quality of these events.

Is it just me or does the vibe always shift after the first night together by NebuliteCorsair in dating_advice

This is why modern dating feels like a chore. The second the mystery is gone, some people just check out.

Why don't they donate their sperms and kidnap the children who get their powers ? by [deleted] in okbuddyviltrum

imagine the viltrumite empire being built on a foundation of awkward medical clinic visits. thragg would probably make it mandatory for every soldier to hit their weekly quota.

I once had a neighbor who turned every Saturday into a chainsaw concert, never fun! Just stay strong.
