My mother is a good mother, but she is an atrociously disgusting person incapable of empathy or care for anyone outside of her circle. I don't know how to reconcile that.

People we knew and enjoyed the company of were just picked up by ICE and she is celebrating that.

My department are all the same type of nerds that I am so they know everything.

Everyone outside of my department gets the corporate sanitized version of everything.

I'm so burnt out I don't want to do anything when I get home. Someone I know is very sick and in pain. I wish I could talk about it, but the US government is too psychotic to talk about totally normal things on social media.

Can you tell me about this game about subways

You very obviously used Gen AI to write this. People are here to interact with people, not bots. Otherwise we'd be on Reddit.

I don't know if its internationally recognized, but Port Arthur. It's the most depressing town I have ever passed through. The skyline is nothing but refineries and every house is rotting. I drive between Baton Rouge and New Orleans regularly and that's my normal. Port Arthur is a whole other level of poverty and pollution.

Texas. It has every shit policy and politician that Louisiana does, but without expanded medicaid and with toll roads every five feet while every car on the road is trying to kill you.

Louisiana sucks, but at least it's chill.

I have intense driving anxiety and only drive around my area willingly, so self-driving cars (or just more trains) would help me a lot.

Took 13 years of intense, disabling pain and like 20 doctors and 50 mandatory but useless pelvic exams until I was diagnosed with endometriosis. ha.. ha..

I want the realistic dragon sim mmo that was promised.

Treat trading like you would a casino. You can put a little bit in as a treat, but that is part of your entertainment money, not your investment money.

Index funds (or mutual funds) like everyone else said. If you are in the US you can buy some U.S. Series I savings bonds as your semi-emergency savings (after 1 year you can take it out freely outside of a 3 month interest penalty, takes a week to cash out so it's fine for most emergency things). Do not just leave it in a savings account.

What are your grades reflecting when you stop studying once you feel like you get it?

I generally stopped studying once I felt like I had it and did okay.
