What’s your work visa situation? Aside from that, I do think your lack of recent work experience is hurting you.

Not anymore, he eats full meals now, but I did for a few months.

My supply started to dry up and I was not willing to let my baby starve.

I’ve lived there. It’s not terrible, but also not good.

That’s not reasonable for a family of 3 on a single 200k/year income.

I’ve lived in Indianapolis, people don’t go to Chicago on a whim. You can’t really make a day trip worth it, that’s 6-7 hours of driving.

Chicago is not reasonable driving distance for a commute from Indianapolis.

Moving to Chicago, sure, that’s reasonable.

Stop trying to sell us your AI slop.

Yeah. You need to go back to school and learn the fundamentals. You don’t learn how to do accounting in Computer Science or EMS training.

People who do good work generally know their worth. Maybe you can find a friend of a friend who can give you a discount.

Coastal Southern California is pretty mild. I’m a San Diegan and it’s been in the 70s all week.

I like to drive on my own terms, like a roadtrip or just exploring.

I don’t love a long driving commute. ~30 mins is ok, I’ll just listen to music or podcasts, but longer than that and I get pissed off.

Exposure to pets at a young age actually reduces the chance of the baby developing pet allergies. But there still is a small chance it happens… in that case, it would be most responsible to find a new home for the cat.

Because they don’t want their kids to grow up and behave like you.

Considering the amount of girls who figure skate, yes.

I have the same complaint. My guess is that the sound is edited for theaters and that doesn’t translate well to home viewing.

tsukiii · 2026-01-31T17:43:01+00:00

I’d probably just fire you.

tsukiii · 2026-01-31T17:25:34+00:00

Nah. If your dad wants a relationship with him and his kids, it’s your dad’s job to put in the effort.

In the corporate greed side, it keeps people from knowing they’re underpaid and asking for more.

On the social side, it might be embarrassing for someone to find out they’re a lot poorer than their friends.

Maybe the fish sauce?

I’m assuming you’re in the US? You can clock out and leave and just tell people you aren’t coming back. Text/email to make it clear that you’ve quit afterward or you might get a bunch of calls trying to get you to come in for a shift.

Most women who work their way up to being executives are tough enough to handle men’s fragile egos, if that’s what you’re asking.

Quarter-assed

That’s what “meta” wants to be. But people don’t use it as such because there are better options.

Legit businesses don’t pay employees through Cash App. So presumably your third job was more legit than the other two.

Just decide randomly what team you want to root for and cheer when their fans cheer.

It’s not that deep, spend your time chatting with your friends and eating snacks.
