I’m curious what everyone here makes and what your financial situation looks like with a new-gen Tundra.

I’m 22, just graduated college with my degree, and I’m currently in the absolutely wonderful stage of life known as applying to what feels like 900 jobs and getting nowhere lol. I’m trying to land my first full-time job, so obviously I’m not exactly Tundra money yet.

That said, I’ve been obsessed with the new Tundras since they came out. I keep seeing one on the road and thinking, “yeah, I want that.” It’s honestly one of those cars that I’ve kinda made into a long-term goal for myself.

So for the people who actually own one:

How much do you make per year, and what did you put down / what does your monthly payment look like?

The most exhausting thing about job hunting might be that even when something is actually going well, you still can’t stop applying.

Like, say you finally get somewhere. You get the recruiter call, then an interview with the hiring manager, maybe another round, maybe they make you do some stupid Excel assessment or take-home assignment. At that point you’re thinking, okay, this might actually turn into something.
Except you can’t really let yourself think that.

Because until there’s an offer in your inbox, none of it means much. The position can get put on hold. They can hire someone internally. You can make it to the final round and still get the dreaded “we’ve decided to move forward with another candidate” email.

So you keep applying.

And applying.

And applying.

You could spend hours applying to 30, 40, 50 jobs while you’re already interviewing somewhere else, knowing that if that interview process works out, a huge chunk of those applications will have been completely pointless.

And you can’t exactly decide to stop.

What if Company A rejects you? Then suddenly you haven’t applied anywhere in two weeks because you were waiting for a process that went nowhere. You’re back at square one.

Then there’s the other ridiculous scenario: Company A actually gives you an offer, but they give you three days to accept it. You’re probably taking it. You’re not going to turn down a real job because maybe Company B, where you had a second-round interview, might eventually make you an offer.

So now you’re applying to jobs you don’t even necessarily want to pursue to the end, just because you have no idea which of the 10 different processes you’re juggling is actually going to lead somewhere.

I kicked my 26 year old girlfriend out of my downtown Atlanta apartment in the middle of the night because I had just learned that she cheated on me with multiple men. I gave her time to carefully pack her things and get dressed, then I made her leave. She took an Uber home roughly 40 minutes from my apartment to her home in the suburbs.

She says it was shitty of me to kick her out in the middle of the night, that it’s unsafe for a woman, that her dad was very upset at me and her girlfriends all think I should have at least let her stay until the morning.

Here’s my question: do you think the Falcons are finally going to make the playoffs this year, or are we going to blow another promising season in spectacular fashion?

i’m kinda sick of how little promotion that gambling seems to get between broadcast commercials, stadium advertisements and everything in between. I would like to know the live odds on things like Shohei Ohtani hitting a homerun during his next at bat, or the odds that my wife, Lexi, will end up finally cheating on me with our neighbor, Ernie. Maybe they can start offering some props too like: Lexi to be caught in bed with Ernie sometime in the next 7 days (+500) or To lose custody of my kids to Lexi (-700). I guess what i’m getting at here is that Manfred isn’t doing enough and it’s ruining the sport..

I just finished HOA, which was the last Supermassive game I hadn’t played yet, and I finally managed to have every character survive! I know the game isn’t exactly new at this point, but I’m pretty proud of it lol.

I’ve played all of the Supermassive games on Challenging difficulty, so I’m curious how many of you have gotten everyone out alive across any of the games, and what difficulty you normally play on.

Also, if you’ve done a full everyone-survives run across multiple games, which one did you find the hardest?

I feel like I’m mentally at my breaking point with the job search

I graduated from college about two months ago with a degree in Financial Economics, and I still don’t have a job. I’ve been applying constantly, going through screenings and interviews, getting rejected, getting ghosted, and then doing it all over again.

I know I’m lucky in a lot of ways. I still live at home, and my mom has been incredibly supportive of me. She’s a widow, and I’m genuinely grateful that I have someone who is willing to help me while I’m trying to get my career started. I know there are people who don’t have that safety net, and I don’t take it for granted. But mentally, I’m really struggling.

I constantly compare myself to my sisters and my friends, who seem to have graduated and immediately landed high-paying jobs. I’m watching people I know start their careers, move out, make good money, and begin their adult lives, while I’m still sitting at home applying to jobs and waiting for emails.

I know logically that everyone’s timeline is different. I know two months isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things. I know that I’m young and that I haven’t “failed” at life.

However, knowing that doesn’t really make the feeling go away.

I feel like I’m stuck in this weird limbo where college is over, but my actual adult life hasn’t started yet. I don’t want to keep waking up every day and wondering if today is the day I finally get an offer. I don’t want to keep daydreaming about what my apartment will look like, what car I’ll eventually buy, or what my career will be. I just want to actually have those things.

I’m trying to stay optimistic because I do have a few opportunities I’m currently interviewing for, and I know any one of them could potentially change everything for me. But I’m also terrified that none of them will work out and I’ll be right back to applying for another few months.
I’m not looking for anyone to tell me that I’m entitled or ungrateful. I know how fortunate I am to have my mom’s support. I just feel like I’m watching everyone around me move forward while I’m standing still, and it’s starting to really get to me.

I guess I just needed somewhere to say this because I’m honestly exhausted and mentally on edge. I want my life to start moving forward so badly.
