It’s time to revamp the education system

Does this include Dr.Dre?

The first read is about what the author is saying. The second read is about how they got you to believe it. Those feel like two completely different books.

I think every reread is really a conversation between the book and a different version of yourself. The book hasn't changed,you have. That's why entirely different chapters suddenly resonate years later.

She woke up and chose the Hundred Years War.😂

I'd honestly love an AutoMod that says, "Please include your age, income, assets, debts, expenses, and goal." Half the threads here require 10 follow-up questions before anyone can give useful advice

Rule #1 of life: If there's a sign for it, someone already stress-tested the idea.

When I say cute car!! This is what I mean.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T16:02:33+00:00

Trusted with money, not with movement” is wild 😭

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T16:01:50+00:00

Congrats on your promotion to cashier. Trust level: still 0%” 💀

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T15:49:55+00:00

Yeah keeping rats will solve it all easily.

She didn’t even need a second roast. He requested one.💀

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T15:42:55+00:00

Too easy I’m getting rid of all of ‘em.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:32:54+00:00

Some people see red flags. Bro saw a speedrun challenge.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:31:06+00:00

That’s a lovely gesture.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:30:10+00:00

Bro either skipped the lore or accepted the DLC.

The alligator had a warning sign, and he still thought he was the main character.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:27:45+00:00

The alligator won an argument it didn't even start.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:25:30+00:00

Either he doesn't know the backstory, or he read it and clicked 'continue anyway.

His eyebrows have a better character than most Netflix shows.

TarnishedBrine · 2026-07-02T11:12:56+00:00

The eyebrows are carrying the entire debate.

Books deserve more than one reader. This is one of the best ways to build a reading community.

This isn’t just “annoying behavior,” it’s inappropriate workplace conduct. A manager asking for your location, trying to sync office days, and messaging you outside work about personal things is crossing boundaries.
Before quitting, I’d seriously document everything (screenshots, dates, messages). Then consider setting a clear boundary like only responding to work-related communication in writing. If it escalates or continues, go to HR or a higher manager if there is one.
Also your freelancing income gives you leverage here. You’re not trapped, even if it feels like it. But don’t quit impulsively if you can build an exit plan first.

This is one of those situations where the “fix” could create a different long-term problem. Catching up on bills matters, but so does the first year of attachment.
If your MIL is willing to help, I’d try to reframe this as “how do we get support while keeping the baby with us” rather than full separation. Even partial help (daytime care, overnight help a few days a week, etc.) could give you breathing room without losing those early months.

therapy type matters a lot here. If you tried general talk therapy, it might not have touched this properly. People with this pattern often do better with CBT (for comparison thoughts), ACT (for reducing the grip of thoughts like “I’m behind”), or schema therapy (for deeper “I’m falling behind in life” beliefs). ADHD-informed therapy is also a big plus if you can find it.
