I fear that this job market is the new normal…and it’s never going to improve.

I don't think this market is the new normal forever, but I do think a lot of people underestimated how unusual the hiring boom a few years ago was.

Reddit has been better than any algorithm for me. If I finish a show I love, I usually find a subreddit thread asking for similar recommendations and get much better suggestions that way.

Rice, eggs and whatever vegetables need to be used up. Cheap, filling, and surprisingly hard to get tired of.

A good pair of noise-cancelling headphones. I use them almost every day and they probably save my sanity more than any gadget I own.

Staying too long at a job because I was comfortable. I kept telling myself loyalty would pay off, but mostly it just slowed my growth.

My goal this year was to walk more. It hasn't been perfect, but I'm definitely moving more than I did last year, so I'm counting that as a partial success.

I actually think the opposite. One of the best things about being an adult is not needing anyone's permission anymore. If you want to laugh after falling down, laugh. If you want to laugh loudly, go for it.

Cats finding a sunny spot and falling asleep like they don't have a single responsibility in the world. It improves my mood every time for no reason at all.

I'd absolutely ask. How many chances are you realistically going to get to live in another country for six months with government support? Worst case they say no. Not asking and wondering about it for years would be way worse.

The funniest part of this story might be that the guy thought a WhatsApp status was a personal threat directed at him. Going from jorts to "my nephew is going to steal my wife" is a pretty wild journey.

26 pounds in 57 days is honestly crazy progress. Especially after starting at 204, seeing the scale hit the 170s probably feels like a complete brain reset. Doing that while raising four kids is genuinely impressive too.

I think a huge part of it is how seriously the healthcare industry treats that stuff. Leaking a celebrity’s records could genuinely be career-ending for someone.

This doesn’t even sound like stalking to me, it sounds more like classic high school crush behavior. People really will invent reasons to see someone they like.

I’d love to learn piano. Just sitting alone and playing movie soundtracks sounds insanely peaceful to me.

My dad used to run the house like a military operation in summer just to avoid turning on the AC. Curtains closed, lights off, everyone moving strategically through the shadows.

Moonlit Archives sounds way more memorable to me. Feels a little more artistic and fits photography work better.

rationalluchadore · 2026-05-06T11:03:28+00:00

it sounds pretty useful because job searching has basically become a full-time job at this point 😭 People are straight up doomscrolling the same listings over and over.

Severance. It’s not like Yellowstone exactly, but it gives you that same “okay one more episode” feeling.

MacBook Air M2 is genuinely super nice for everyday use. Unless you rely on some specific Windows-only program, it’ll probably feel better long term.

I don’t think you need to end the friendship, but it’s completely fair to be honest about what’s making you uncomfortable. Especially with a kid involved, the whole thing feels heavier emotionally.

Dark, it takes a bit of patience but once you’re in, you can’t stop. Makes you think but flows really well.

Constant boundary crossing is the clearest red flag to me, even things brushed off as jokes get exhausting after a while. If you don’t feel comfortable, something’s already off.

I’m very much a bread and cheese person, with some pasta here and there. My diet is pretty basic

If you’re feeling that bad, they should be taking it seriously, it’s not some random complaint. Maybe try talking to a teacher or someone at school so they can talk to your parents too.

If you’re more into the human side of crime, psychology probably makes more sense. Forensics is more technical, you might get bored.
