So I (32F) am currently residing in the Midwest and do not intend to stay in my current city permanently. I am not in the military but I basically move around every 3-5 years. My issue with traditional dating apps like hinge and bumble is that I match with people who have zero intentions on moving. Are there any dating apps or even fb groups specifically geared toward people who moved around a lot? Next city I plan to move to is Denver.

I'm a 32 year old single black woman who has always been interested in visiting the Faroe Islands. How safe is it for a single woman to do a solo trip? I am curious also about how easy it is to get around? I'm not sure I'd want to take a bus every where so I was curious if a rental car would be recommended? Or is there uber or lyft? Any recommendations or tips are welcomed 😄

Edit: I forgot to mention that I love animals. Are there any places where I can pet a few sheep or see wildlife up close? Lol

I'm Surinamese American and so I'm happy to finally watch an international season where I can speak the language. However, I feel like casting could have been better. I'm a bit sad that there's not more men of color. And before anyone comes at me about the demographic profile of the Netherlands, yes I'm aware that the country is majority white, but I wish they would have casted a Surinamese man or a man who's family from Curacao or Cabo Verde.

Do you expect your non-black partner to speak up about black issues? Or is it a red flag when they don't speak up? Curious to hear others thoughts.

Edit: speak up as using social media to raise awareness on black issues (i.e. current lynchings in the south) or calling out racist family members and/or friends.

Good morning, Goedemorgen, Buenos dias, Bon dia everyone! I am a 31 year old woman who lives in the US and is half Surinamese 🇸🇷 and half African American. I am perpetually single, and ready to settle down (marriage and kids). I was curious if there's a dating app that could connect me to Caribbean men? Tbh I'm sick of all the gringos that the US based dating apps keeps showing me. If anyone is interested in chatting, feel free to send a chat 😊.

I ordered 2 items from iherb at the end of July and somehow my package was lost according to the carriers website. Since I ordered without an account the AI chatbot is useless to try to cancel the order and attempt to get a refund. Anyone else experience this recently??

Edit: I tried to post this in the iherb sub but its auto rejecting my posts.

I just finished episode 11 and Shawn gas lit the f*ck out of Nikki. And then to turn around and say he's exacerbated? He needs to have several seats. Also because of that conversation, I'm fully convinced he has participated in a circle jerk, full stop! He gives me sexual predator vibes.

I'm a 1994 millennial and recently had discussions with friends about how hard it is to get a job right now. For those of you who were working around the 2008 recession, how does today's economy compare to the months leading up to the recession and during?

Outside of NYC and Miami, its so rare to meet Surinamese people in the US. My mom is from Suriname and my dad is American. I (31F) was born and raised in Colorado, but currently live in Ohio. Growing up and into my adulthood, whenever I would tell people I was Surinamese-American, 90% of people thought Suriname was a country in Africa 😭. I've been to Suriname 4 times in my life and love it there. And when I explain why I love how simplistic the country is, most Americans look at me like I'm crazy. I even told my ex he'd never survive in Suriname because there's no Starbucks and in some places you bathe with a bucket and a cup. When I told him that, he looked at me like "who wants to live like that". Sigh... I just wish I could meet more Surinamese people who loved the country as much as I do in the US outside of NYC and Miami.

My dad is 78, my mom is 69, and I am almost 32(F). Growing up my dad was the breadwinner and my mom was a stay-at-home wife/mom. My dad made decent money when I was between 9-20 by being a civilian contractor in the middle east after 9/11. However, my dad didn't put any aside for retirement and has horrendous financial literacy. My mom has never really took initiative to handle the finances because my dad made the money. So now my dad is semi-retired but working at a grocery store to cover some of the extra bills they have. Before I moved out 6 years ago, they had two working cars. But as of today, their second car has finally kicked the bucket after the first has been inoperable for the last 3 years. I live several states away, and now my parents are without a working vehicle. They have been living paycheck to paycheck, so buying a new (used) car is out of the question. I don't know how else I can support them from being so far away.

I (31F) am originally from CO but currently living in OH. I intend to move back to CO when it's time to settle down and I've always led with that when I start dating someone new. I started dating someone 3 months ago, and we decided to be exclusive about a month into dating. I told him after our first kiss that my goal was to move back home eventually and at the time he basically said that would need to be figured out. Fast forward to last week, we had a slight disagreement on something and he told me that he ultimately does not see himself moving because his immediate family lives 20 minutes away from him and sees them frequently. I haven't seen my parents since December and I frequently am home sick. So I've decided that I'd like to move back by 2028. After I told him that was my goal, last night he told he didn't want to see me anymore but we should rather be friends. I responded by telling him that I don't want to be platonic friends with someone I've been intimate with. So my question is, how do I find a man who would be down to uproot his life? I know this is a generalization but I feel like a lot of midwesterners are very afraid to leave the midwest.

I (31F) was born and raised in the USA but a dual citizen with the Netherlands as my mom is Dutch. I am increasingly growing tired of living/slaving away in the US capitalistic society (For reference, I currently live in OH and I only get 3.1 hours of PTO for every 80 hours I work). I would love to move to NL but my dutch isn't great. I can probably read the equivalent of a elementary school student but can't write it. I can understand spoken dutch much better than reading it. So until I become fluent, where have you found English speaking jobs? Even if you found English speaking jobs for other countries in the EU, I'd be open to learning more!!

Edit: I have a Master's degree in Public Health and have experience as an Epidemiologist and data analysis in the Healthcare sector if that helps.

I took out about $90K worth of student loans for undergrad and grad school. Back in 2023, I paid off my grad school loans, which was about $65K, since the interest rate was nearly 7%. Now I have about $15K left to pay on my undergrad student loans. My question is since I chose the 10 year standard repayment plan and I graduated from undergrad in 2016, my undergrad loans are due. If I dont pay the full balance, will my loans go into default since I chose the standard 10 year repayment plan?

I've been dating a guy who is a music teacher for 2 months now. He invited me to the school musical he directed, which is happening this Friday. His whole immediate family will be there, including his grandma. This is the first time ever that I am meeting the parents of the person I'm dating. For those of you who have met parents before, do you typically bring a gift? And should I bring him flowers for directing the musical?

Last week on Thursday, I was in a fender bender where someone rear ended me at a stoplight. I was already having a bad day so I reacted as a "Karen". I called the local police and had a police crash report filed even though the damage was very minimal. When I got home, I started filing the accident claim with progressive. But I didnt finish filing the claim because I didn't get the driver's name or a picture of his license brcause he was a non-english speaker and was trying to talk me out of calling the police via a translator app. To my knowledge, the police report should contain all of that info. However now that I'm in a better mood and realizing there's nothing wrong with my car, I dont want to finish submitting the claim. I keep getting calls from random numbers which I assume is progressive but I haven't answered any of them. Whats the worst that can happen if I dont finish submitting the claim?
