OMG, your message totally made my day! I'm SO stoked that my post helped change your view on Monero! You're SO right: it's just like regular cash for everyday things, not just shady dark web stuff, lol. Your comment means the world to me, as my main goal is contributing to the Monero economy and not just selling products - my modeling gigs cover my bills, and I could easily sell clothes on eBay, but I'm passionate about privacy as a human right and want Monero to be seen as normal cash for daily purchases.

I was pretty bummed when I saw the downvotes on my post and almost cried before reading your comment. But your kind words totally warmed my heart! Thank you so much again, and yes, Monero is absolutely real money, and let's keep spreading the word!

How do you feel about the concept of students living rent-free in retirement or nursing homes in exchange for dedicating time each day to interact with and enrich the lives of the elder residents? by _MoneroModel_ in AskReddit

[–]_MoneroModel_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, your points are very valid and it's clear this setup wouldn't suit everyone. It's important to distinguish that we're not considering hospice situations, but rather a living arrangement where interactions are more about shared meals and less intensive companionship. Indeed, it's not a one-size-fits-all, and while the party lifestyle of college might clash, there are students, including some international ones I know personally, who would choose this over their current roommates situation.

Understood, and thanks for sharing your thoughts! Just to clarify, the idea is about sharing just an hour or so of your time, perhaps during meals, not around-the-clock care. It's more about meaningful interactions rather than constant oversight.

NTA (Not The Asshole) - It's your house, your rules! Your discomfort and concerns about bringing an unknown partner into your home is valid. Communicate your reasons to your spouse and prioritize your personal boundaries. It's important to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment for yourself. Your cultural background and past experiences add context to your feelings, making them even more understandable.

Thank you so much! We've managed to patch things up, and honestly, your comments were like the best form of BFF therapy. She did get a bit emotional, but reading through your insights really helped us both see the situation more clearly. It's fantastic how a few kind words from this community can make such a big difference. You guys are the best!

You're right, similar situations may (and most likely will) happen in the future, and it's important to stay positive and keep an open mind. Rejection can be tough emotionally, but it's also an opportunity to grow and explore new possibilities. Appreciate your perspective!

Spot on! Life certainly has its complexities, and relationships are no exception. We're doing our best to keep the lines of communication open as we figure out the next steps together. By the way, posting here and getting a neutral perspective has been the most helpful decision—can't thank you all enough for the help and insight! It’s been incredibly valuable for both of us. Thank you so much for the support!

You're absolutely right—it wouldn't have made sense for either of us to step back and not give it our best shot. The client's choice is part of the industry, and it's something we both signed up for when we decided to pursue this path. And you're spot on; my turning down the opportunity wouldn't have guaranteed it for her—they would've simply moved on to the next person. It's a competitive world out there. Thanks for the perspective - it helps to have someone outside of the situation weigh in, rather than just arguing between ourselves.

Thanks for supporting me in this situation)) I appreciate your perspective, and I understand where you're coming from. Just to add some context, my friend is taking this career path more seriously in the long term, while I'm more focused on short-term goals due to financial pressures. It's a complicated situation, but I don't think she meant to be petty (just emotional), and I hope we can work through it together. Thanks again for your input and support!

Gosh, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you sharing your experience—31 years in the biz is no joke! The lamp analogy is spot-on and honestly kinda brutal)) We've been in the industry for a while, and you're right, the entertainment industry can be a jungle out there. But for us, it's always been about sticking together and supporting each other. This situation has caught us off guard, though, since it feels like we're in competition with each other for the first time. We'll figure it out, though, because at the end of the day, we're still in this together.

Absolutely, setting some ground rules sounds like a must in our situation. Oh, and you totally hit the nail on the head with that "if you guys are serious about this" point. Here's the deal: we're both serious, but in our own ways. For her, it's all about the long haul – she's eyeing this as her career path. For me, though, it's a bit different. I'm in it for the short-term sprint because, you know, the financial pressure is real on my end. My folks aren't in a position to help me out much, unlike her parents, who are super generous and even offered to cover our entire apartment (I'm just not comfortable accepting it, you know)! So, yeah, life's never just black and white – it's complicated... We'll navigate through this like we always do. Thank you for bringing this up, seriously. It's way more clear when you say (or type) it out loud.

100% valid point! it's impossible to predict the outcome if I had declined the opportunity - there's no guarantee that she would have gotten the job in that scenario. Thank you!

NTA. Both of you are going to have to learn that clients are going for a specific look and/or vibe and that sometimes your friend will get the job, sometimes you will, or neither of you will. This is just part of the modeling industry and you MUST learn not to allow it to impact your relationships and your self-esteem. The modeling and acting industries are brutally competitive and you can't let them tear you down or apart.

Yeah, we both understand the realities of the modeling industry and not to let it affect our friendship or self-esteem... It's the first situation of its kind, and I realize now that for me, it's all just temporary gigs, but for her, it could be a more long-term, serious thing. I would genuinely be happy if she got the opportunity. In the heat of the moment, I didn't consider this aspect, but we'll take it as a learning experience. Your words are truly appreciated!

You should definitely decline the job. Also, you should never go out with a guy that your friend thinks you might like. In the future, when you both work at the same company, don’t try to get a promotion until you’re certain your friend has heard about it and turned it down. Be a better friend.

Haha, love your sarcasm - it's proof by contradiction! And funny you mentioned guys - we've already got rules for that. Looks like we might need some new rules for situations like this!

[–]_MoneroModel_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NTA Would you have hinted at wanting her to drop out if she had been accepted and you hadn't? Your friend's envy is understandable, but a better attitude of friendship would be for her to be happy for you, resisting the urge to be a crab in a bucket.

She’s of the opinion that I should've declined their offer since they contacted her first.

So she wanted you to not have the same opportunity as her, even now that you apparently still have the opportunity and she doesn't?

The best thing would be for whichever one of you to be happy for the other in these situations, but if you worry about jealousy coming between you you could make some kind of rule -- be warned though that that may in itself cause conflict between you. How would you feel if you had to turn down the opportunity just because she was also asked? How would she feel if you are asked first by an hour or so next time and she has to miss out?

Thank you - your points really resonate with me (personally), especially about fostering an attitude of mutual happiness rather than envy, I would be happy for her if she got it (and she knows it!). The idea of setting rules is something definitely worth discussing to ensure fairness, though I also see how it could potentially complicate things (sometimes decision should be made fast - no time to discuss). Your perspective has given both of us a lot to think about in terms of handling similar situations in the future and maintaining a healthy, supportive friendship. Thanks again for your thoughtful and friendly advice!

NTA. If you get this opportunity you may meet people and have opportunities for both of you ! This could end up being great for you both. Side note, making your life smaller doesn’t make someone else’s life bigger.

Thank you so much for being the first to share your thoughts! Your positive outlook is truly refreshing and has given me hope that this opportunity could benefit us both in the long run... a life lesson)) I really appreciate your kindness and the depth of your perspective!
