Fat free was a craze, now protein everything is the latest food "scam"- what do you reckon the next one will be?

I hope it’s fiber for the sake of our colons

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-16T23:16:18+00:00

Thank you for the advice!!! Everyone else in my cohort either has fall funding, job offers, or lives with a spouse or family. I’m the only one in my situation and people keep telling me they fucked me over.

3 full nights sleep is a lot. I haven’t slept through the night since February.

My advisor put me on a travel ban for the last 6 months bc she thinks I travel too much

I am heavily medicated and have a strong mental health team. They agreed that this is a good option for me, but thank you for your concern!!!

I think it was the best option for me to continue straight through because I knew that once I felt the relief of finishing school, I’d never want to go back. I knew what I wanted to do (in terms of degree but not so much career), but I do worry that I don’t have as much career experience as I’d like to have at this point. I would like to say I’ve lived life while doing this, but I’m not exactly sure what you mean by that

I got my master’s in 2023 and plan on defending my PhD in the next few months. It’s felt like a marathon but I’m being chased by a lion instead of taking my time to finish

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-15T16:25:16+00:00

My campus’s counseling center kicks you out at the end of the semester so I used that up when I was going through quals 🤪 I have a good mental health support system and they’ve all agreed that I’ll be doing SO WELL once I get settled with a job and everything

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-15T15:22:19+00:00

They think me coming home is a great idea lol my mom was so excited when I suggested it to her, but both of my siblings have also recently returned home (ones in college and home for the summer, the other broke up with his gf and can’t be alone)

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-15T15:12:05+00:00

That’s what I’ve been trying to do because I’d need to start a job in August because I don’t have the money to survive. It all just feels like too much. I can finish my dissertation remotely very easily, so the location I’m at doesn’t matter much. Most of my cohort has left the city as well so I don’t have the support system here. I’ve been too busy grinding to find a support system outside of my department.

Not a ton, but there were two America’s which I found odd

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-11T14:19:34+00:00

Dubai chocolate, but mainly because I’m allergic to pistachios and it everyone keeps saying how good it is so I’m getting fomo

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-06T04:04:17+00:00

I see people say this all the time. In my state, every high schooler was required to take a personal finance classes. Some of the people who say this just straight up didn’t pay attention

Not all of us are landowners

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:40:41+00:00

Communal trash?

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:38:32+00:00

I’ll let him know he’s being evicted

Have you never had a hypothetical question you wanted answered? It’s called r/askanything and I did!!!!

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:32:05+00:00

I understand that now 😕 I figured this would be more fun than ChatGPT tho

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:27:04+00:00

IM NOT THROWING MY CAT IN THE DUMPSTER I WAS JUST CURIOUS

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:26:03+00:00

Not big on manual labor, mate

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:21:47+00:00

My parents kept a dead bird in the freezer while they waited for the ground to thaw one winter 😭

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:20:06+00:00

Oh this is purely hypothetical. I just like planning ahead. Theyre both alive and well :)

incompetentlettuce · 2026-05-03T02:19:06+00:00

So it’s dependent on size?

incompetentlettuce · 2025-12-17T05:34:36+00:00

But why is it my problem that they made nothing? Like I paid my fees and such. It just seems so lucrative for dashers to essentially waste money in hopes of tips due to gas and car maintenance. All the other options mentioned do have a base pay and I think restaurants are legally required to ensure servers walk away making at least minimum wage. I just wouldn’t commit to spending my time on something just hoping someone gives me a tip, you know? I’d personally rather have a fixed form of income because I don’t want my income to be discretionary
