I’m 26F, and every time I shop online, it feels like every cute top, sweater, jacket, or even basic T shirt is cropped.
What confuses me is that when I go out in public, I rarely see people wearing cropped clothing. So who are all these stores selling it to?
I don’t want my stomach hanging out, and I don’t want to spend the whole day pulling my shirt down. I just want fashionable, age appropriate clothing that provides normal coverage without looking overly conservative or matronly.
Where are women in their mid to late 20s finding cute, everyday clothes that are actually full length?

I’ve been looking at how some of these companies are valued compared with their actual revenue, and the numbers seem insane. SpaceX is valued at around 80–115× its revenue, Palantir is around 70–80×, and some AI, space, and nuclear companies are even higher. Meanwhile, a normal established company is usually closer to 1–3× revenue.
I definitely think this looks like a bubble, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it will burst anytime soon. There is so much money pouring into AI, and everyone is afraid of missing out on the next huge company. The valuations could keep climbing for years, even if they already seem disconnected from reality.
What do you guys think? Are we in an AI bubble, and if so, how long could it realistically keep going? What do you think would finally cause it to burst?

I’m 26 and currently in an accelerated BSN program on a full-ride scholarship after already completing a previous degree. I’m genuinely working really hard and trying to build a better future for myself. I’ll be graduating this December 2026.

Today my mom said, “I wish you would’ve started sooner haha, now you’re with all the old girls.”

I know some people may think that’s harmless, but honestly it hurt. I already put a lot of pressure on myself about my age and timeline, so hearing that after working this hard made me feel embarrassed and ashamed instead of proud of myself.

Has anyone else dealt with family making comments that make you feel “behind” after you went to nursing school as an adult?
