Hi, I'm 31m, work at a car dealership, and I’m desperately trying to leave. I have a bachelor's in English, not business, but I'm still thinking about an MBA. I’ve been talking to friends, and some said getting a concentration in AI in business is better than data analytics. I’m just not down with AI, but with so many places relying on it, I'm not sure whether I need to suck it up or go the data analytics route. At the same time AI has been seen to be very unreliable because people aren't using it correctly or rely on it too much so I'm not sure if this wave of AI is going to dramatically die down or people will adjust and use it in different ways. I know there's a difference between generative AI and AI uses to detect cancer, predict future business problems etc. Any opinion/help is welcome.

I, 31m, was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder around 10 years ago and was wondering if anybody else experiences feeling emotions more deeply on meds vs when they were off. I feel more human in a way but have issues with anxiety and sometimes panic attacks. I’m going to see if I can talk to doctor about changing or adding meds.

I currently take Lamotrigine/Lamictil. I know I shouldn’t but sometimes I stop taking meds bc because I feel the full spectrum of emotion which sometimes is good bc I think clearer and act more mature in a way but it can be a lot sometimes. I find myself crying more when necessary, confronting people more when I’ve been wronged and getting angry instead of indifferent etc. I also kinda get flashbacks of when I wasn’t on meds and dumb stuff I did and said. Does anybody else experience something similar?

I, 30m, have gotten into some cc debt and want to know the best solution to handle it. I have 14k, I’ve thought about getting another CC with navy fed for .99 apr for 10 months but also thought about borrowing form 401k but idk if that’s a bad decision or not bc I know I have to pay it back with interest.

I also got my truck totaled last week, I received 7k from it. I’m luckily enough to borrow a car but I won’t be able to use it for perpetuity. I’m attempting to fix up my mom’s old Highlander and drive that for a while until I’m free of cc debt and can purchase a car again but I also have 40k of student loans lingering. I don’t know the best way to handle this situation or where to start. I’m trying to learn about financial literacy so I’m not in this situation ever again. Any advice will be helpful

I, 30m, have had this odd situation come up lately. I found this guy Benson, 27m, on tinder a few weeks back. I don’t normally get the attention of many in my area so I’ve kinda been overthinking it a lot. Im a bisexual man that lives in a fairly rural area in Virginia so dating as a bisexual black man has its struggles. I’m trying to save and move to somewhere more inclusive like Richmond or dc but I don’t make enough money.

Typically I am more geared towards dating but won’t deny a hookup if the person vibes. Benson and I vibed and hooked up and have talked a bit but randomly he can block them unblock me on Snapchat and then I just accept it. Unsure if he is maybe closeted or has a relationship or what. I should move on and ignore him but again idky I just don’t. Lookwise he definitely an 8 but personality he’s around a 2. Idk if I’m just bored or a lot of others in my area are boring, can’t hold a conversation, fairly weird/freaky or are way too kinky for me.

In the past I let another guy kinda do the same thing but we don’t talk anymore. Took a while to stop the habit of being blocked then blocking him when he would make multiple accounts to try talking again. I’ve tried bringing it up with Benson but he ignored it and we just hooked up. I also have an old Snapchat I used to kinda stalk his account but then i quickly logged out bc that felt very weird and felt like a slippery slope into something dangerous. Need advice on how to stop putting up with behavior like this. I have tons of friends but sometimes I want to talk to somebody in a more romantic or even sexual way. Like I want to hold somebody and be held. sometimes I feel like there’s a pit in me that needs to be filled. I have a full time job, tons of hobbies, go out with friends about every weekend, and volunteer a lot with my community, help my mom with her business that will soon become mine but idky I can’t stop thinking about this one guy. I feel weird about it, I haven’t talked to a friend about it in like a week bc I was hoping maybe shutting up about the situation would have him be yesterdays news but I woke up this morning thinking about it and now I need advice.

So can anybody offer some advice?
