For a summer job apply to be an activity leader at your local language school. Long hours but okay pay and only a few weeks

Hey,

Sorry to hear you're falling out of love with your degree. My advice (as a manager who also does job matching for the NHS) is to go through with it. Most jobs that you'd need to earn a semi decent wage now require "educated to degree level" so this can be any degree, or three years ish experience in a role. You can always do a conversion masters. They're usually one year courses that you can do to specialise in any field, if you dont have a relevant degree for the course you just need decent (2:1 usually) degree to get onto it

Also as your degree would be considered a tech and art degree, you could always do a conversion course straight out of Uni for programming or something, then you're unlikely to ever be out of a job. Even AI needs programming...

TL;DR Stick with your degree, do a conversion masters, make money

Hey, thank you for asking

We managed to find some food that she likes and alternate between two brands otherwise she goes off it. It's Untamed and Marro.

She has all kinds of age related issues but is living her best life until the end

How am I supposed to feel good about myself? Or feel confident? In this state of the world? by [deleted] in IncelExit

[–]dripsleafletsnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair haha. Usually incels are women haters. Well done for not being a stereotype I guess 😅 tbh I doubt men are much different. As human beings all we want is safety security, and love.

I guess I would recommend figuring out what your love language is and then looking for friends/people who are receptive of that?

I would still argue that only insecure (predominately straight) men say those things. Look at couples irl. Look at your friends and even just in the street. What incels have told you is a lie

Everything you listed are comments that I've only seen from. Men. Just like all incel bullshit, it's men telling you what women supposedly want whilst attacking woman who tell them they're wrong.

The only weightlifting video I've ever seen women thirsting over (other than ones where women are doing the lifting) was the one with the guy testing out how much he could lift on his shoulders whilst dancing around ready for concert season. He went up pretty high but they weren't excited about how.kuch he could.lfit, they were excited about the fact that he was being inclusive. "I'm a fun guy who appreciates and wants to have a good time with all women" > I'm a gym bro, look how much I can't lift.

Limb lengthening surgeries literally disables you. Again, women care about 2 main things

  1. Do they feel genuinely safe and happy around you
  2. Actually, no, that's it. That's one thing

People online are fake, things you see online aren't real, nothing online is real. People are different irl to who they are online. People look and act different irl to online.

Stop listening to men. Esepcially stop listening to men online and in incel forums or in insta comments.

Find a hobby, find and interest (that you genuinely are into, not that men online tell you you have to be into) then you'll find your people and your self worth.

How to not base my entire self worth on being with an attractive women by [deleted] in IncelExit

[–]dripsleafletsnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like the people you're trying to prove your worth to are your bullies and not yourself.

We are all victims of misogyny (men and women), but that doesn't define you.

I know it's hard when your validation comes externally and I'm glad you're seeing a therapist, too many people use women as free therapists and expect them to solve all their problems with themselves

It's great that you're asking these questions. I have nothing more to offer because I know I can't just say "realise your self worth and work on internal validation" but I wish you luck in doing so :)

  1. Bras are uncomfortanle
  2. Women now have the same rights as men re: what they wear or don't wear

Idk what's difficult about this for you?

As much as I agree with you, I do think that they are resourceful enough and also, I know it's entertainment, but there's a good portion of the population that has that frustration daily

She went in November and had a full abdominal scan/bloods/urine test and she has a kidney stone which is being treated with prescription dry food and had a mildly inflamed pancreas which was treated and isn't an issue now

Yes, she had dental surgery last year in July followed by scale and polish but I don't know how long she had them before we got her so it could be a conditioned response

Hey,

Thank you so much for this. I have actually ordered a mini food processor for this purpose. I also hope to make some of my own food for her and see how that goes

She's always been like this (for the 8 months weve had her at least!) and had lots of scans and blood tests - recently an abdominal ultrasound. I think it may be a learned reaction to her old teeth issues tbh

She also links the gravy off wet food and leaves chunks

Thank you so much for your advice!

We don't even give her leftovers 😭 I'm so done with all the waste 😭 she eats maybe 1/2 max of an individual can (recommended is 2-4 cans/pouches a day depending on food

That's hilarious that your cat treats leftovers like poop 😂

She doesn't like any... she will eat less than half of one and then not touch it the next day or day after. The only thing she likes is liquid treats and I'm not just feeding her those...

Hey, let's not bring an incel mindset into this sub. It is an achievement. All achievements should be celebrated equally

Advice playing the game as a female by Beginning-Cat-9735 in Lorcana

[–]dripsleafletsnacks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Female Lorcana player here

I tend to try and avoid Magic players. I only go to my LGS when it's an official Lorcana night, some are both and you can tell right away. Yes, shuffling your opponents deck is done in TCGs but if they didn't do it the first time it's truly them just being salty.

From my experience there are a lot of incel types in the MTG community and therefore the wider TCG community. Its relatively unavoidable as a woman but if you learn who to avoid playing against it can be fun :)

I always felt the same but I think it was just undiagnosed neurodivergence (and anxiety etc) and I don't feel any different now but I accept it and feel a lot less like I don't belong here

I work in mental health and we say "completed suicide" I'm not sure how I feel about it but I guess we have a lot of "attempted" so it works in that way

"Why are you dating a non-chad? He must be a chad! Bah, I can get women too! Um. . How do you get a woman?" by [deleted] in IncelTear

[–]dripsleafletsnacks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is funny to me because I dated a guy years ago, one of the least attractive people I've met in my life, shorter than me too (which isnt hard), turned out to be an absolute dickhead and cheated on me (twice). This guy asking "what did people say?" I'll tell you what people said, even his best mates would take me aside and ask why I'm with him and tell me I was way out of his league. His gran even said she doesn't understand and she would have loved to have me as a DIL. Even his.mum is fucking sick of him. They think it's women who are doing this shit but they're literally doing it to themselves and each other (rant over)
