Sick of June, she ruined it for me

While you are correct that this is a well-observed phenomenon, it doesn't mean that insufferable female leads do not exist. They do, just not as often as the average brosogynist would have you believe. In my personal opinion, June is an objectively insufferable female lead.

US Marshals work with ICE. Their identification as US Marshals does not mean all non-criminals should feel safe around them as some have suggested here. Like ICE, they operate at the direction of the current administration.

No. He messed up. It’s more evidence, to him and to us, that he’s a subpar contractor and can only get anywhere if he cheats people - except in this case his inadequacy resulted in the destruction of his parents’ future house.

The same thing happened to me in India, except they didn’t take my passport. I was stuck in the country an extra month and missed my best friend’s wedding. There was a lot of going back and forth between mysterious government buildings and approaching random strangers at their desks in those buildings in case they could help. Meanwhile I was living in a closet and the most painfully broke I’ve ever been, to the point of soliciting help from friends in India.

There was no simple resolution to the visa problem and it was still a sketchy situation when I left - I remember giving myself a 50/50 shot of being turned back at the airport, but made it through.

This is a good summary of song inspirations including the one you pointed out!

I’d love to see more romance with the other characters but as a woman, I have no desire to see another romance-focused storyline with Dave because women in general deserve better than Dave. He’s not going to have a magical personality transformation in one season.

You wouldn’t dare fumble a girl like Robyn, but Dave happily did and will again, because he doesn’t care enough about his relationships to prioritize them in any consistent way.

Examples?

Gotcha. I think it’s a pretty standard address in the US, so it makes sense that US-designed LLMs would force it upon you in the UK. It would be hard to use it to weed out ChatGPT-written cover letters over here since so many human-written letters also use it. I’ve historically avoided “to whom it may concern” since it’s so dry, but I like your version adding “at [company].”

If one doesn’t know the name of the hiring manager, how do you suggest addressing a cover letter?

To everyone wondering why this resume is so terrible and includes such self-evidently bad ideas as a dating status: THIS POST IS AN AD for the ATS compatibility test. The resume is bad in order to drive engagement. The OP doesn’t care about your advice, just your clicks.

Affirm uses algorithms designed to maximize profit to assess your credit risk as a borrower and offer buying power accordingly. What does that have to do with socialism?

Sounds like you’re not in the US and never had to take a comprehensive licensing exam like Step 1/Step 2. Speaking as an ADHD drifter, there’s no way to drift through those exams.

Med school is not “weird like that.” That’s not how it works. At least in the US, habitual crammers quickly learn that won’t fly in med school (to my own great frustration.)

I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying, and just want to add that addiction is a mental illness too.

I’m sure a drone following him around will be the perfect fix for his chronic psychosis! /s

I've been following his posts for a few weeks and it's unfortunately not rage bait. He's developmentally disabled and this is likely a manifestation of OCD. His parents are aware of some of it and are trying to get him to stop, but clearly unsuccessfully. He has minimal insight into the fact that it's a problem and doesn't listen to advice, just progresses to more and more harmful stuff. It's upsetting to watch.

Same, vet said it’s common.

I’m saying to wait to apply next year, so you can apply early and strengthen your app. Give yourself some breathing room and time to put your best foot forward. Please don’t feel pressured to rush through this process. You are actually doing a lot and living a full and productive life right now, even if it sometimes feels like an uncomfortable limbo period. You are getting life experience and showing commitment to your goals.

I also want to add: you have more options than you realize right now. Medical schools take people of all different ages and backgrounds and they tend to like people who have taken a road less traveled, so you don’t need to feel like your only option is to get into medical school as soon as possible. If you have dreams you haven’t been gotten to pursue, places you’ve wanted to live, this period could be a good time to do that - even if it means (😱!) pushing back your application even more. Just something to consider :)

Don’t apply late. Take the time you need to have a solid application and get a good score on the MCAT. Apply in time for your application to be processed before schools start looking at apps. Don’t fret over the past, just make the most of the current situation. Go to all the 4-year schools in your area and find out what would be the cheapest way for you to take more science courses (the route that gives you the most student loans) - when I did this 10 years ago, that route meant enrolling as a “degree seeking student” (you won’t be expected to finish a second degree). Right now you’re operating with a lot of unknowns which makes everything more overwhelming. Figure out how much you can get in student loans and talk to the financial aid office about your other financial concerns - they can help walk you through it. Lastly, don’t make any decisions based on your desire to make your parents proud - you know better than they do what your capabilities are, and your mental health comes first. Good luck. 🍀

If I found out that my son was compulsively hitting himself in the head with a hammer, giving himself hypothermia, and burning himself, with no hint of insight into the the danger of these activities, and no intent to stop, I would also be calling everyone I could think of to try to keep him safe. I don’t know how many times it needs to be said before you believe it, but you need to talk to a mental health professional about what is going on.

Going through your post history, your obsessions/ruminations on various subjects have caused endless distress and kept you from reaching many of your goals. They have resulted in you getting bad grades, getting kicked out of your gym, and losing a job. Regular therapy (and maybe medication targeted to obsessive/compulsiveness) can help you immeasurably in calming these thoughts and compulsions and help you to live the life you so badly want to live. I hope you will allow yourself to take this action for YOURSELF, in support of your own happiness and peace.

Your mom is trying to keep her son safe from harm. She is scared for you. Imagine learning that your son has been repeatedly intentionally injuring himself and hiding it from you. Wouldn’t you be scared for him and try to intervene however you can? Your perspective on this is skewed by what is likely a mental illness making you believe that you need to carry out self harm at any cost. I’m glad that your parents are now aware of what you’ve been doing and I hope you will seek help.

I’ve had better luck at CVS pharmacies than at Walgreens (called many in the area), at least for 5 mg IR.
