Update: "just go into a trade!" "Everything you could possibly learn in college is online now!" "So and so made millions by building a website as a teenager and you can too!"

Now happening on Threads: "If you can't survive on your current income, just move to a cheaper area/conjure up a better paying job/live 5 to a room/stop buying coffee and all your problems will magically be solved"

I continue to be astounded at people who ONLY formulate gravy from the meat juices with no supplementation. Like that cannot possibly yield enough 🤨

Please y'all take a minute to be thankful that you don't routinely have pain in your face

Festive blast from the past for all my elder pals:

An event that needs to be better known

Not dramatic just silly so hoping that counts Picture it: November 2014. We had just moved into our new house. My parents were invited to thanksgiving somewhere up north but for whatever reason I did not go with them, thus leaving me alone in the house.

I actually wrote this all out last night and could swear I posted it and all day I've been sad that no one noticed 😓

RIP to my parents' cat of 15 years She was a gud kitty and beloved to the end

I still maintain that a guy who had supposedly played an entire career with the Brewers should have known how to pronounce "Waukesha"

It runs in my family, my dad and both grandpas were teachers And I'm here now because one day in 2017 I happened to see a post about TEFL on the wall of a friend who was doing JET Why I picked China is much much deeper

It's just great to spend two days in a row up till almost midnight waiting for a bank back home to open 😓 when I have to work the next day Then having to try and sleep while crying myself sick over being smacked in the face with (situationally) the worst possible news

It's been weird noticing how different all the colors look now ...

Moment of levity: the glasses store had, for some reason, a Rubik's cube on a stand. Of course I picked it up to solve it but turns out it somehow had a twisted corner. I say 'somehow' because there is no force on earth that could have successfully twisted that corner back.

Out $200 for new glasses 😓 shoulda just lived with the pain

Excuse you I love the wheels

I was hit on by a professor. I was SEVENTEEN.

The only possible option I have left now is to beg someone to help me, every month, forever, and there's nothing people resent more than having to help

I didn't even do anything to deserve this and now I'm permanently stuck

Welp I guess I can't, what the hell am I supposed to do without the ability to send money to my US bank account ever ever again

When I get either my bank or my eyes fixed I'm going to make a fun thread for y'all

What am I supposed to do if I can't send money home anymore

Not gonna lie, I know folks who would have paid out the ass for these

So my glasses can't be fixed which means I'll just have to deal with eye pain for the rest of my life Also I'm locked out of online banking and I don't even know what I did I fully expect to be hit by a car or fall down the stairs any minute now

Frick I've got a headache already

Welp my sunglasses from 2014 finally bit the dust (yes the ones I spilled clove oil on, but I'd gotten used to that)

Several who might be considered notable locally, but beyond that the only one would probably be Rick Boogs

Imagine if the little old lady from Pasadena had been driving a Nash Rambler

Sometimes clapping on 1 and 3 is what's appropriate for the song

WAIT THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED COBBLER??

Things people don't know about me: I used to play violin for more than 5 years and made it to Suzuki volume 4. And then I gave it up because my brother started playing and he was already so much better 😒

Is it me or is this giving the same energy as when mediocre rappers make that song about how they're tooootally not bothered by the haters you guys

Ok ok ok BIG news - I've finally gotten my hands on another copy of Million Dollar Mermaid, decades after my old one fell apart!

For two days now I've been having pain in the front of both thighs (persistently, but aggravated when I sit down or stand up). I already take calcium + D supplements and have not done any especially taxing leg exercises in the past week. I've got tiger balm but otherwise I guess it's just wait🤦‍♀️

I know I'm a bazillion years late to the party on this but I couldn't not make this incredibly niche meme

How tf do I have like a 4 cm long cut that's already started to heal but that I have zero recollection of getting

These days I literally forget most of the time that November 11th means anything other than half price on taobao 🤦‍♀️

You always think the characters in your language textbook have just the most ridiculous names that nobody would ever use in real life And then one day you get a delivery notification from a guy called 周天天

Also we had to leave the next morning at like fuckin 5 am because our other friend (then a newlywed) had set her BC pill time to *first thing in the morning* and then not bothered to bring any pills along with her on what was meant to be an overnight trip

Ok storytime So. It's around 2010. Smartphones are barely on the radar and standalone GPS units are fantastically expensive so as broke recent college grads we have neither. And we are taking a trip to Chicago to celebrate our friend's recent graduation.

I always remember that old email joke that was like 'can mapquest please start at step 5? I already know how to get out of my own damn neighborhood'

Now happening on the other place: Some blue check bro accusing a woman of fabricating an incident in which her then-boyfriend deliberately tried to trigger her food allergy because she didn't specify (in the post) what it was she was allergic to

What even did I just watch

"Nice mayoralty you got there. Sure would be a shame if anything were to happen to it."

I really hope this guy is allowed to actually do the shit, and not just constantly stonewalled so the other side can turn around and be like 'see? useless POS'

Not to virtue signal here but even back when people were all 'zomg how dare you call Obama a Muslim' I distinctly remember thinking who fucking cares if he was

Can someone please just pray that my molars don't end me
