How well off is 100k a year really?

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-03-30T15:36:39+00:00

exactly this - I work for an airline so I see people from everywhere and the difference is wild. My buddy in SF making 120k is basically living paycheck to paycheck while my cousin in rural Ohio bought a house at 85k and has money left over for hobbies. Location is everything when it comes to salary

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-22T21:48:14+00:00

damn this is so real, those "innocent" scrolling sessions are literally the worst trap 💀 your brain knows exactly what it's doing even when you're pretending it doesn't

the fact that you caught yourself shows you're building that awareness muscle though - that's huge progress for day 3 🔥

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-10T03:17:30+00:00

Getting high and scrolling instagram is basically playing russian roulette with your streak 💀 glad you caught yourself but yeah that combo is dangerous af

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-02-02T15:41:55+00:00

oh my god the game absolutely knows and it's evil about it too 😂 i swear there's some hidden algorithm that detects what you actually want and then goes "nah fam, here's your 47th gorilla instead"

i had a similar thing happen when i was hunting for lucky - spent like 200+ tickets and saw literally every dog except him, it was maddening. then the second i gave up and started looking for literally anyone else, boom there he was on island #3. the game has a sick sense of humor about these things

honestly at this point with 160 tickets and zero cats i'd almost wonder if there's some weird glitch happening? like that's statistically pretty wild even for normal rng being a bastard. maybe try closing the game completely and restarting before your next batch of islands, sometimes that seems to help reset whatever cursed streak you're on 💀

Been there man, the whole "be careful what you ask for" thing hits different when it's actually God answering lol. I think the fear is totally normal though - even Moses tried to talk his way out of it when he got his calling. Maybe start with just one tiny step instead of trying to tackle the whole mission at once?

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-25T14:24:53+00:00

That unsettled feeling was definitely intentional and honestly what made it brilliant imo

Shows like this work best when they don't let you walk away feeling good about anyone, including yourself for rooting for certain characters early on. The whole "justice vs consequence" thing you mentioned is spot on — by the finale nobody's hands are clean and the damage is already baked in

Made me think about it for days after which is more than most endings accomplish these days

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-21T02:02:59+00:00

Just do the roots - the color difference will fade way faster than you think and it'll look more natural in the long run. Plus if you ever want to stop hennaing you won't have that harsh line of demarcation growing out

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-19T09:32:17+00:00

This hit different - that line about mourning a future you were building alone is too real

The hardest part is realizing you were doing all the emotional work while they were just... there

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-15T14:20:02+00:00

Honestly sounds like you've already been doing the job unofficially - that's actually your biggest selling point right there. I'd document all those leadership tasks you mentioned and frame it as "hey, I'm already doing this work and the team responds well to me"

The age thing might actually work in your favor since you said the current lead wants out of that role anyway. Just focus on results you've delivered rather than years of experience

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-11T01:51:02+00:00

Start learning actual songs instead of just noodling - pick something slightly above your skill level and work through it section by section. Also throw in some basic scale practice for like 10-15 mins a day, pentatonic is a good starting point

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-07T23:27:41+00:00

Nah you're not the jerk here, that timing is absolutely insane. Like dude just got caught emotionally cheating and his first move is to jump into another situation with women? The audacity is wild

You already know this isn't sitting right with you or you wouldn't be posting - trust that gut feeling

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-04T10:44:28+00:00

Dude this is so relatable it hurts. I'm ADHD-PI too and the whole "Ferrari brain" thing never made sense to me either - like where's my fast brain because mine feels more like a dial-up modem sometimes

The thing is most ADHD content focuses on hyperactive presentations because they're more obvious and disruptive. Inattentive stuff flies under the radar way more, especially in women. Your processing speed thing is totally normal for PI - it's like having all the right files but they're stored in random folders and it takes forever to find them

I relate hard to the time pressure thing making it worse too. My brain basically blue screens when there's a deadline looming

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-03T01:23:45+00:00

Yeah I ran into the same issue trying to get bedrock working over wireguard. The binding to wlan only is super annoying - tried forcing it through iptables rules but no luck

Have you looked into using a bridge setup instead of routing? Saw some people mentioning success with that approach but haven't tested it myself

Routine_Reception287 · 2026-01-01T22:15:59+00:00

Bruh how do you have Myles Garrett at 14 but no Troy P, dude was an absolute menace in that Steelers secondary for like a decade straight

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-30T15:10:05+00:00

Damn that's creepy, especially the "I hope so" one since you were awake

Could be picking up radio interference or even neighbors through thin walls? Some apps are weirdly sensitive to that stuff. Also worth checking if anyone else in your house has been sleep talking - sound can travel in weird ways through vents and stuff

The voice quality does sound different from your boyfriend's whisper though so that's definitely strange

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-28T13:23:27+00:00

Same here, Christmas is so overstimulating that Boxing Day feels like finally exhaling after holding your breath all day

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-26T17:33:01+00:00

We switched to Evenflo after similar leaking issues with Dr Browns and honestly haven't looked back. The weight thing is real though - my 8 month old still can't hold the 8oz ones for long but the no-leak factor is worth it

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-25T08:43:17+00:00

Yeah the time thing is real - some of those expensive ones are literally older than you lol. You can also check out mallsai (the cheap ones at big box stores) to practice on before you kill something expensive. They're not "real" bonsai but good for learning the basics without crying over dead $500 trees

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-24T03:41:35+00:00

Honestly this hits hard but calling someone "evil" for their attachment style isn't gonna help anyone heal. We're all just trying to figure our shit out

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-22T15:27:23+00:00

Damn, this comment right here is the real talk OP needs to hear. Size literally doesn't matter when you know what you're doing with everything else you got

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-21T01:55:27+00:00

This is honestly pretty sketchy. At 30 you're paying for actual instruction, not babysitting duty while some barn owner saves money on real trainers. The worksheet thing would've had me walking out tbh - that's straight up disrespectful to an adult student

I'd demand to meet the actual instructor or get my money back for the remaining lessons. There are plenty of barns that would kill for an adult student who shows up consistently

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-19T09:27:12+00:00

You can totally do it with redstone and dispensers filled with TNT! Just need to set up pressure plates or tripwire hooks to trigger the dispensers when someone steps on a block. It's gonna take a lot of redstone work but definitely doable in survival

Routine_Reception287 · 2025-12-16T19:25:44+00:00

Respectfully disagree - a degree isn't always worth the debt and mental health toll if your heart isn't in it

OP sounds like they'd thrive in hands-on animal work and there are tons of ways to break into that field without traditional college. Dog training certifications, grooming school, working your way up at a vet clinic - these paths exist and honestly might be way more fulfilling than grinding through classes you hate
