I got a B.S. in biology in psychology and absolutely hated it. I was constantly bored or confused.

I am considering joining the military, my mom did chemical warfare, but my dad did cybersecurity.

Is it possible to go from biology to cybersecurity or do I have to have a bachelors in CS or IT first?

I want to be able to work from home like my dad does. I also do enjoy electronics, my high school electrical class was one of my favorites and I enjoy making radios and similar stuff, but that's hardware.

I just watched the good earth for the second time and was wondering if anyone has also read the novel? I plan on it when I’m not so busy.

I absolutely adore the movie, it makes me so mad. It has so many twists, but they’re well foreshadowed, it doesn’t always outright say things forcing you to think and at times allowing you to use your imagination.

The acting of the main characters is great and all the side characters played their characters great. I especially hated the uncle.

No actions seemed illogical, they all had a reason, even if the reason was selfish and evil.

The sexism was done well it really showed their disregard for women and girls in a way that seemed natural. Truly rage inducing.

I especially loved the end it was so maniacal, but in my opinion that makes it realistic.

The imagery was definitely my favorite part, they even managed to get the animals to act and the special effects and set designs were great.

The music is also great with an amazing score, although the music can be a bit loud compared to the dialogue.

For cons,

My friends were def bored at times especially at the start. The pacing can seem slow compared to modern movies, but I enjoyed having time to look at the scenes.

Of course the yellow face, but there’s not much to be done for early 1937 Hollywood.

For some people this movie might just piss them off, but I think it does a good job making it clear the male lead isn’t the good guy.

I‘d love to hear your thoughts, this is one of my favorite movies.

I’m tired of getting tricked into not actually genuine convos

I will say sometimes it’s obvious from someone’s username, but yeah, I want a way to be warned ahead of time that someone’s probably just a troll or bot.

I see absolutely no way this could go completely awful, surely one poorly received or viral post/comment wouldn’t completely change your rating (satire)

I’m switching from USAA to something cheap, my mom recommends Geico but I see a lot of ads for them which makes me wary. I was thinking about that and idk about anyone else but I get at least four lemonade ads a day across YouTube and Reddit, what is their deal? I’m always wary of a company that spends an egregious amount on advertising and I’ve never met anyone who uses them.

I’m aroace, and I go through an endless cycle,

1. Look at the economy and society and wish I had someone to split bills and raise a child with (since I want a kid).

2. Try to date.

3. Absolutely hate it.

4. Stop trying to date.

5. Forget how icky inside it made me feel

6. Again, look at the economy and society yada yada rinse and repeat

Does anyone else go through this cycle of desperation?

My mother and my friend with a baby daughter need to be able to live with me. So, I am considering joining the military for the BHA, but even then, I wouldn't be able to afford a three-bedroom home. I don't want to charge my friend rent as her daughter was born with a lot of physical disabilities, and they currently live in another state, so it will take time for her to get a job, and if she gets a job that pays too much, she will lose her healthcare. I also don't really want to charge my mother rent. Do you all have any advice on some rental assistance options that they or I could get? Should I get a two-bedroom and stay in the living room?

I’ve noticed two sides: don’t have kids if you can’t afford them, but also, marrying rich or wanting to marry rich is a bad thing and your standards are too high/ you are a gold digger just for wanting your kids to have a good life.

Why does it seem no matter who a woman chooses she’s always in the wrong?

edit: y‘all this post was inspired by the song fancy by Dolly Parton 🙏 edit: I have been informed I have the wrong singer mb.

Forgive me for not mentioning the middle grounds, Ik most people fall there, this is just about the hypocrisy of the two extremes.

edit 2: so many comments I can’t keep up I’m sorry 😭 I’m trying to read them all.

i did it! there seem to be a few comments in common 1. pull yourself up by your bootstraps if your poor rather than trying to marry rich, 2. its misogyny, 3. it’s two different groups of people

I really hope its #3 tbh the other two scare me one seems a bit too optimistic and the other too pessimistic, I’m gonna say I agree with the long comments listing all the other hypocritical things about being a mom so I lean towards 3 it’s just different ppl with different ideas.

Anyways, good chat, see you next week for my next dumb question.

I’ve matched with a few men and they are all awful texters except maybe one. They infrequently ask questions and give me very little to work off of, I will open with something about their profile and they will give the blandest answers back. How do y'all deal with it? Do you just carry the conversation and put up with it? it’s exhausting.

edit: I mean like the first conversation on a dating app, not after exchanging numbers, I don’t give out my phone # until after the first date, (for privacy reasons)

I took a ceramics class and was super proud of some of the stuff I made, but my family wants me to either take pictures of it and throw them away or put them in the attic.

I saw this coming, I even told my ceramics teacher if they weren’t functional my parent would want to get rid of them so I knew this was coming and tried to make them functional while still following the rubric. But I’m still so sad.

They gave me a week deadline from when I opened the box and set them on the windowsill it’s coming Friday.

They told me they don’t like the chaos they make, but my step dad has the whole garage to fill with his stuff, although my mom practices what she preaches and doesn’t have much stuff. I’m just going to move them to my room I think, but I’m just sad and which they would idk at least pretend to like them.

I've been volunteering at a free clinic but it's a 30-70 minute drivedepending on traffic and most of the people are older.

What are some good places to volunteer or do charity work, that's closer to the heart/NE side of Portland and where I can meet people in their 20-30s? I'm looking to make friends and maybe date.

Has anyone had experience directly with Quiet Creek Bloodhounds? I'm searching for a breeder in the Portland, Oregon area, but I've heard such good things from AKC, and the owner was a former president of ABC, but I haven't seen any personal reviews. They seem amazing, so I'm willing to travel down to them, but if anyone has good reviews for a breeder closer to Portland, Oregon, I'd love to hear about that, too. I want to use the dog for SAR. So I'm looking for a breeder with experience in that, if possible. Thanks!

I really enjoy garden windows the ones that jut out, but of course when driving that would be a disaster, has anyone done a slide out that is just a window? or seen one?
