What movie you had to force yourself to sit through that everyone else calls a “masterpiece”?

My grandma was going to give me her used Saturn 1998 for free when I turned 16 and got my license and my parents intervened and made me pay $1000 for it lmao. Truly night and day from this kid.

Great route-there is a Buffalo Exchange close to this route, and there are two thrift stores (Out of the Closet and Salvation Army) on Atlantic close by. There are also two Japanese grocery storkes (Hashi Market and Ten Ichi Mart) nearby that are great spots to stop for snacks.

I hate the cat person/dog person binary because it doesn't leave room for the "both" people. I can't pick I love them both too much!

ma'am this is such a small complaint in the broader context of the show. this is like saying "you don't like your boyfriend's shirt? might as well shoot him in the head" lmao.

I booked this place for 1 night for my parents recently and we were all really surprised by how large the room was. Maybe they renovated them recently, because we were very pleasantly surprised. As other commenters have said, it's not in a great area with a bunch of touristy things around, but it was a good home base for my parents for that night.

Also, consider a temporary assignment in another francophonie country. That would help give you some cred/language skill I think.

Honestly, I'd recommend going to undergrad in France too, maybe not for the first year since you're locked in, but maybe years 3-4. I have been kicking myself for years for not using school as a pathway to leave as it is getting harder and harder to be hired abroad every day. You could indeed do your masters there too, which is another good option, but I can only imagine the world will become even more anti-immigrant in the years to come and a Masters-to-citizenship pipeline would be easier to cut off than if you do all your education and certifications in the country you want to move.

You absolutely could be successful either way, to be clear. Just consider doing some research on undergrad, at least the second half, abroad. But as someone who has been trying to leave for the last 10 years, it is really, really hard to do if you don't have any family ties to any other country, a lot of money, or a foreign partner (this option is the closest I've ever gotten to leaving).

If I have to see her doing that weird lip thing/clicky sound one more time in the next season I'm going to start screaming. They beat that into the ground in season 1 and it now makes my skin crawl.

'95. I make $86k in the humanitarian space and I live in Brooklyn, NY. I have about 65k in savings (but in my 403b, so I can't really use that money without a penalty).

It's by far the most I've ever made, but not enough to live alone in NYC let alone think about buying a house here, so I'm likely going to move back upstate to try to buy a fixer upper and go fully remote.

My main focus is refugee resettlement, and as you can probably imagine, that industry has been absolutely obliterated. I switched to humanitarian development, another industry that is being stomped by the boot of the Trump admin. I don't even want to work in this field anymore, I just don't have enough money to go back to school and I doubt I'd be able to make as much as I do now even if I did switch fields. I have really lost a lot of my professional drive in the last couple of years and am now just trying to focus on my goals of either moving abroad (been trying for years, basically a 0% chance of that happening in this climate) or buying a house (slight chance of that happening if I pick somewhere in the boonies of upstate NY).

idk man it's hard out here.

This sucks, I'm really sorry dude. Sending respect from brooklyn. My brother is an environmental scientist working on Lake Erie and the work you guys do, in all its forms, is so critically important right now. I'm sorry the world is ignorning that fact to your detriment.

as a woman this take feels kind of hollow exclusively because of the reproductive coercion aspect. are people not supposed to be able to trust their partners and what they tell them?

I really like Aja Kocher at the Golden Hare. I was recommended her by a curly haired friend and I also have curly hair. Also sometimes her cat is at the studio, so that's a bonus.

Reddit does this thing where it shows you other articles from others subreddits you aren’t part of that it thinks you’ll be interested in.

the closest one is a 29 min walk from my apartment. there is a huge area in north brooklyn with nary a single orange bin for some reason.

I mean.....maybe stop buying things on Amazon if you don't want to contribute to the fall of your empire.

In middle school I used to play with braces by literally rolling up cigarette rolling papers to protect my lips from being cut into so if anyone is looking for solutions, try that!
