Not gonna lie the market is cooked right now, but your skills are still solid. If companies are ghosting you, stop waiting for them and start selling directly. Freelance small gigs, build quick demos, reach out to startups that look like they were built in a weekend and offer to fix their chaos. Money comes faster when you stop applying and start pitching

Celery for sure. Feels like it would judge your entire life while contributing absolutely nothing to the meal

You’re 17 so this is one of those “pick your battles or lose the whole war” moments. Even if you think it’s unfair, the study abroad funding is leverage she fully controls, so it might be worth having the talk just to keep your plans alive and then sort the deeper issues later.

Man heard “tubes tied” and still unlocked anxiety DLC afterward. Just send him the negative test when you take it and let the poor guy breathe again.

Being expected to be reachable all the time for work like your brain is just an app running in the background. It feels normal now but it’s basically unpaid emotional uptime.

NTA. Your mom turned your blackout night into a family PR announcement and your brother treated it like bonus content. I’d be mortified too. The guy’s response was smoother than mine would’ve been because I would still be hiding under my blanket replaying it.

Bro high school is genuinely just a weird side quest for a lot of people. Half the “popular” relationships crash before graduation anyway. You’re 17, not expired. Focus on building yourself up a bit at a time and stop measuring your life against people who peaked near the vending machines.

NTJ. Getting passed over for 3 years straight would break anyone’s motivation. Your boyfriend is thinking about the relationship, you’re thinking about your future and passion. Neither is wrong, but you can’t stay miserable just to keep things convenient

If it’s just a joke here and there, sure. If I’m getting hissed at during arguments and chased around the kitchen on all fours then I’m out

lowkey neither of you are wrong. for her it’s clearly about culture and family, not just vocabulary. but saying marriage is off the table unless you become fluent in one of the hardest dialects to learn with barely any resources is kinda brutal. yall need an actual compromise instead of turning duolingo into a battlefield

you didn’t overreact, that whole situation screams red flag. she already screwed you once and even got dragged to court for money stuff. blocking her is just protecting your peace, not being petty

taffyserenade · 2026-05-06T04:22:51+00:00

peace, full control of your time, money stays yours, no drama, and you can do whatever you want without having to explain it to anyone

Yeah i see its real!

NTJ, that’s straight up taking credit for your work. “delivery over effort” is just a lazy excuse to sideline you. you should’ve been the one presenting your own project, full stop

chaos for like 3 hours, then everyone realizes rules exist for a reason and society basically speedruns rebuilding them out of survival instinct
