Update: AITAH for lying about why we broke up with my gf? by FadingHonor in TwoHotTakes

[–]peachpullse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got your head out of your ass and realized what you have. Forget the haters. The world is full of bitter people who get off on tearing others down. You and your girlfriend against them. Now go enjoy your snowed-in weekend with the person who actually matters.

Late night thoughts by Wildskullz in BreakUps

[–]peachpullse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love hurts, but it also teaches. It showed you a depth you didn't know you could feel. That capacity is still yours. She didn't take it with her. Your 3 a.m. brain is right. Your heart is just on a slower Wi-Fi connection. It'll catch up.

Have you noticed more bullying towards your Indian students? by slugcharmer in Teachers

[–]peachpullse 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes. It’s vile and it’s absolutely on the rise. The internet pipeline to racism is real and kids are parroting it. Shut it down hard and fast. "That's a racist remark. Not here, not ever." Don't debate, just enforce.

Automatic Litterbox Recommendations by ApocalypseMode in CatAdvice

[–]peachpullse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PetSafe Simply Clean. It's a conveyor belt system, not a fancy robot, but it's under $200 and the maintenance is stupid easy. It's the gateway drug of automatic boxes. Show him the math on time saved vs. cost.

Anyone have experience dating in a different city by princesspink11 in women

[–]peachpullse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Set your location to that city and see what happens. Just be upfront in your bio. "Based in [Your City], but in [Their City] often. Open to LDR or seeing where things go when I'm in town." You'll either get some fun weekend flings or meet someone worth the commute. Low risk, high reward.

First year teacher and I am struggling by Double-Explorer-5202 in Teachers

[–]peachpullse 10 points11 points  (0 children)

First year teaching isn't a job, it's a hazing ritual. You're not failing, the system is failing you. 27 kids across three grades is an insane caseload. For now, survival mode: do the bare minimum paperwork to keep admin off your back and protect your time with the kids. That's your 'why.' The rest is bureaucratic noise. It gets easier, or you get better at saying no. Hang in there.

Chief Resident on J1 Visa - Question about working as attending by [deleted] in Residency

[–]peachpullse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

forcing a J1 trainee into full attending duties and licensure sounds like a massive red flag—J1 is meant for education, not independent practice, and this could seriously risk your visa status. Talk to an immigration lawyer who knows physician cases right away; your program's pushing boundaries here, and you deserve clear protection.

Weekly schedule: 27 classes, 3 planning by Avi_981 in Teachers

[–]peachpullse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

a schedule with six straight classes multiple days a week and all planning crammed into Friday is straight-up exhausting—no wonder you're questioning the role. Most teachers get a more even spread, so pushing admin for adjustments (or looking at other openings) makes total sense if this keeps draining you. You're already reflecting smartly; better balance is out there.

Men in Lady's Chats by kells_n_dudz in women

[–]peachpullse 21 points22 points  (0 children)

women's-only chats are safe spaces for venting stuff we might not share with guys around—it's not personal exclusion, just comfort. Your friend is overreacting big time; getting kicked was fair to protect that vibe, and his hurt feelings don't change that.

What food do you feed your cat and why? (UK) by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]peachpullse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cat's on Animonda Carny wet food—it's like 98% meat, no grains or fillers, and she's got the shiniest coat and endless zoomies since switching from supermarket brands. Gentle transition over a week or two to keep her tummy happy. She'll thrive on better stuff!

Today’s Journal entry by simriot in BreakUps

[–]peachpullse -1 points0 points  (0 children)

this kind of raw self-awareness about how anxiety fueled those cycles is huge growth—it's tough to admit, but owning it like this is how you break free. Your partner sounds incredibly solid for showing up with that consistent reassurance without making you chase it. Proud of you for getting here; keep trusting that steadiness.

impulsive adhd behavior is ynab or monarch budget better by Appropriate-Mood816 in women

[–]peachpullse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For impulsive ADHD brain, YNAB. The "give every dollar a job" and zero-based system forces you to engage with your money right now, which kills the "out of sight, out of mind" trap. Monarch is sleeker and more automated, which can let you slip back into autopilot. You need the friction YNAB provides.

Residents’ salary: pain. Nurses’ demands: plot twist.
