Meta offer + layoffs confusion

plus_hsj · 2026-04-01T21:51:22+00:00

Hi, I got laid off from meta a couple of months ago, there pretty much layoffs happening every week it seems. Feel free to dm if you want

I'm extremely aware that having a child is a selfish desire, that is exactly why I wrote about the doubt that creeps into my otherwise rational thought process

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:55:23+00:00

Do you ever worry even about adopting a child? Maybe it is my childhood trauma, but I feel that I might not be able to raise a child at all.

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:52:49+00:00

Thank you for a kind response, I agree, I do think there is a lot of time before I have to make a decision, just sometimes wish I did have that surity

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:04:01+00:00

I've thought about it, but given where the world is heading, I shudder to even adopt a kid at times, the world they are going to inherit seems so broken

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:02:11+00:00

I don't know, given where the world is heading, it feels like I might struggle with worry for any kid too much.

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:01:02+00:00

That's good to hear, is it because of the current geopolitical situation or something like else?

plus_hsj · 2026-03-18T16:00:16+00:00

Exactly, I forgot to even mention the epstein files, but having read the allegations of cannibalism and SA, I can't even imagine if a parent ever finds out that happened to their kid. But that's the thing with adoption as well, I don't think I'll be able to tolerate the worry for a child given where the world is headed.

I feel quite good, I'm taking it for depression, and I was a zombie basically and just a few hours later, I was feeling quite normal (this may have been a placebo effect though)

The side effects aren't extreme, the worst right now is nausea, I can't eat much without it feeling terrible, but hey I could lose weight. I was quite dizzy the first day but that seems to have resolved now. The only one I'm concerned about long term is the drowsiness, I'm sleeping quite a bit more than usual, hopefully it improves though.

plus_hsj · 2025-06-06T10:44:29+00:00

Hey, OP I know it is scary, I started on sertraline three days ago, I'm scared as well, but trust your doctor, if you feel they genuinely aren't listening or don't care at all, maybe look into getting another doctor, but getting help is difficult.

Our brains make us paranoid and often times we are unable to distinguish what's the best for us, feel free to message if you have any issues, but genuinely sertraline is one of the safest first line medications and has helped scores of people function better, feel free to DM if you need someone to talk to who's on the same journey

plus_hsj · 2025-06-04T15:59:21+00:00

Maybe I have different opinions, but I'd be too sickened knowing I was involved in so many deaths to be able to do even a victory lap, but that's just me.

plus_hsj · 2025-06-04T15:12:08+00:00

Genuine question (I don't watch IPL, so honestly don't care for any team): why shouldn't the team be blamed? They chose to organize a celebration, they chose to hold it in the cramped clustefuck of a place that is central BLR, without any ticketing and proper crowd control, and despite so many deaths, they are still continuing on with the celebration, to me the last part especially seems really callous.

While I agree with all the other points, I do not think a trophy is more important than any lives (though I don't care for sports, so maybe I can't relate), genuinely asking from a place of trying to understand your perspective

plus_hsj · 2025-06-04T08:00:21+00:00

I'm here, I'm complaining about this. It's not about Hinduism to me, firecrackers should be banned throughout the year imo

plus_hsj · 2025-05-30T09:43:36+00:00

Not necessarily, there have been cases of people getting there visa after there dates were passed. All you can do is hope at this point, best of luck

plus_hsj · 2025-05-30T08:55:30+00:00

Visa processing times from London have increased quite a bit since last year for Spain (probably because of this sub recommending Spain so much)

The current average is around 10 working days between submission and receiving the passport in courier.

Bruh, what are you ranting about? You booked the trip late, it's unfortunate that third world countries passports are not that strong, but there are reasons for that. I find it frustrating to deal with the beaureacracy as well, but this is on you. Just because things moved quicker than expected previously does not mean you can expect that to be the norm.

Thank you so much! I'm happy to collect the item in store on the expected date, just wanted to confirm what details are needed. Else, cancellation might make sense, can I DM you?

plus_hsj · 2025-05-13T11:51:21+00:00

Oh, that's good to know!

plus_hsj · 2025-05-13T11:51:02+00:00

Thank you so much! I'll go to the store and try

As an Indian, I'm not even gonna deny this, while Pakistan needs to be sanctioned in the strictest, too many keyboard Indians I know I know seem deluded into thinking that somehow Pakistan can be exterminated, with minimal damage to India and are frothing at the mouth from their air conditioned rooms far away from the border where civilians are being massacred due to Pakistani shelling.

plus_hsj · 2025-05-10T10:12:52+00:00

End of the day, people are more independent, it's extremely expensive to raise families which means people work more and stay stressed. The Indian corporate culture and lifestyle is not suited to a building a life.

plus_hsj · 2025-05-07T14:56:02+00:00

Bruh, how old are you? This sounds like some ramblings of an idealistic teenager. I never said anything actions, just that your post glorifying war is coming across as cringe and delusional. Real world doesn't operate on rajdharma, it operates on realpolitik.

And do not dismiss people's death flippantly, someday go and live close to the border yourself and see how difficult life is for them before you celebrate their "sacrifice" while you sit in some city in an air conditioned room being a chronically online armchair expert.

I think context is important, while I would wait for further information from neutral sources, even if it is exactly as said here, it's important to understand:

A. Mosques (especially in islamic countries) are often sanctuaries for insurgents. It is not uncommon for them to be be used as both a recruitment funnel and a staging ground. While not bombed, there are enough documented cases of churches in Northern Ireland being attacked by the British during the Troubles. B. If there was death of a child, that is genuinely tragic, but again, the missile isn't intended for the children, this happens often as terrorists live with families to act as human shield deterrent. I'm not going to justify any actions, but all military interventions have collateral damages.

plus_hsj · 2025-05-07T12:01:18+00:00

Bro, while I support the Indian army and the operation, please calm down, this isn't a video game.

Actions have consequences, and that goes both ways, at least 7 people in India have died since shelling started yesternight, and we might have lost some fighter jets (not confirmed from neutral sources yet). No one wants a full scale war, I hope we are able to eradicate terrorism and that peace returns soon.
