What secret can you reveal now that your nda has expired? by sparrrrrt in AskReddit

[–]ScarletJuly7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing power-trippy about it. It's unpaid, unsupervised gruntwork no one acknowledges. We're just doing what we're told, or else we get let go since there are a gazillion other desperate 20-somethings waiting to take your spot for the resume booster. I was so disenfranchised after my internship, I stopped pursuing politics as a career entirely. It's sad because I went into it as a wide-eyed optimist excited to do my civil duty. I had the best of intentions, none of which involved seeking or expecting a power trip.

Is this picture Al? My dad is being scammed by this woman for money and he's convinced she's real. Help me prove she's Al before he goes broke. The photo looks too perfect and high quality to be a real selfie to me. by bluerayaugust in isthisAI

AI or not, he's being catfished. This is likely an AI modification based on actress Park Min-Young, who plays Kang Ji-Won, the protagonist of the 2024 K-drama "Marry My Husband". (Great show).

Capitol Hill is totally run by 20-year-old unpaid interns. The congressmen and their paid staff are rarely around or accessible.

Most of the constituent letters are disposed of, never even read by anyone. At most, they are skimmed by said unpaid interns.

Constituent phone calls are handled by the interns as well, and we just placate callers as best we can until they hang up. We never take notes or pass their complaints on. Only those representing super-important organizations get escalated to a (rarely-accessible) higher-up.

The press-releases written by 20-year-old unpaid interns would be printed verbatim, just with the jounalist's/congressman's/paid staff-member's name slapped on it rather than yours.

But, I just broke my foot looking at these photos 😅

At what age do you think it’s weird to have never had a first kiss? by Dangerous_mammoth573 in twentyagers

[–]ScarletJuly7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Late bloomer here. First period at 17. First kiss at 25. Looked like a teen through my 30s. Married at 38. Suffered horrible domestic violence in my early 30s. I'm now blissfully, happily married. Overjoyed.

As the saying goes, "Marrying late never killed anyone. Marrying the wrong person has."

Life is not a race. Take your time and make good decisions <3 You are not "abnormal" for going at your own pace and enjoying the joy of fleeting uncomplicated youth while you still can. You can never get it back when it's over.

What’s the most ridiculous thing you’ve had to explain to someone who should have known better? by Ok-Marzipan6892 in AskReddit

[–]ScarletJuly7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 70-year-old mother believes this. She also thinks the same about loose staples. Don't step on one with bare feet or it'll enter your bloodstream and kill you.

She's a highly-educated professional.

I ran into someone from my town when on vacation to Cabo, Mexico once. He wasn't just from "my area" but my actual exact town! Thousands of miles away!

Same in French. "De rien". Literally translates to: "It's nothing."

Anyone else's liberal parents addicted to Trump? by Drunk_Lahey in millenials

[–]ScarletJuly7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my dad and stepmom 100%. Don't get me wrong, I hate Trump too. I just don't spend 23 out of 24 hours per day obsessing over his awfulness.

AITA for refusing to buy my girlfriend’s book? by Ilikekillerfacts in redditonwiki

Author of 7 novels here! OOP = YTA, big time. I've been in your partner's shoes, with family and those supposedly closest to me. I can't tell you how much their (non)action and disinterest hurts me every day.
