In the 00s I was living on my own and working from 16. My teacher took me on as an aid and gave me the smallest of tasks. Most days she just let me sleep on her couch for the period. I was exhausted.

Ow my brain

Right? The same chain of “jokes” as top level comments. Thousands of thousand of comments that were very off topic or incredibly shallow perspectives. Copy/pasted comments up and down the chains. Then there were the obvious advertising disguised as post/conversations. Ick. I still maintain my account for the local/state subreddit and metalcore subreddit and that is it.

Not the vibe I’ve gotten. I do get that vibe over on Reddit. I think the quirky conversations and novel responses make me lean away from bot. However I’m not an expert.

It’s impossible for me. I always turn into the personal therapist. I see too much. And I can’t help it. Just ended a friendship over this because it was exhausting to maintain.

I’m comfortable saying 0 at this point. I actually don’t really have many memories of childhood. We were just very poor. My parents spent what money there was on cheap can beer and something you need rolled up dollar bills for. We did do fun things, during the good times we had stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut and a video. I ended up being really short just from my diet of kool-aid and flint stones vitamins. I remember food things the most. We were spanked, but only occasionally, and this was the norm for the very rural area of Florida I grew up in. I remember mom’s ongoing grudge with the neighbors. She didn’t like them, apparently, because they gave us food when we played. It took many years to piece all these things together. What living family I am related to I am NC with, and have been for decades. I feel like this was textbook neglect exacerbated by poverty.

Yes, a woman, and yes USD. That’s the no-frills salon price for a trim for my hair which is “long/thick (curly)”. The more expensive places range into the $200s.

Cheapest haircut in my town for my hair type is $75+tip. I just cut it myself now.

6 years of college and 2 years of supervised fieldwork and I still get imposter syndrome.

That makes me feel a little better. I know I should do a better job keeping up. By the time I’m done for the day, most of the time my brain is jello. Nice username, btw. I agree it isn’t bad for a short amount of time.

I love your recommendation. Unfortunately I am very out of the loop with that sort of thing these days. And I’m without resources if I accidentally break something. I need my desktop for work as well. I’d be happy to read up on the topic if you could suggest some reputable sources that someone without a tech background could break down. It’s why I save it all up until summer. So I pay them as little as possible.

I saved up a bunch of shows and waited all year to binge in one month over the summer and cancel.

Yeah. Sometimes I hear the message ding too. Guess I’m lonely.

No kidding. They’ll do something shitty then apologize to their imaginary friend in their head and move along while the rest of the world burns.

I’m not sure how satire outlets can write headlines anymore tbh.

I love all cookie textures. Idc.

Yes, because of the risk of elder abuse. And just being absolutely out of touch with the general population.

Who made this comic? It’s so uncomfortable, I want to see more.

Some threads have a handful of interactions that seem less than genuine, yes. Usually political and derailing and spoil the thread.

I would say you want them to be prepared for people that won’t take no for an answer in a variety of situations. Understanding boundaries and when people will push and manipulate them, this is a real good skill to have in life in general as well. It doesn’t hurt to have a repertoire in self-defense. But yeah, it happens fairly often if you aren’t assertive and often enough even if you are.
