I want to make friends and ask for references but I'm scared

I want to get an additional part time job so professional references would be helpful.

I want to make friends but I dont want to be seen as flirting with these guys.

Im worried about getting rejected or worse giving them the wrong impression or looking unprofessional.

Older Women (Ajummas) in KPOP Would be A Very Good Idea

I apologize that my sleepy brain on three different cold medicines mispelled "Ahjummas".

Shows and bands that celebrate older generations combat ageism.

They would benefit the public good and Koreans learning to cook. They could sing about making Korean foods, such as Kimchi, Kimbap, and Tteokbokki.

It would be a job opportunity to show off the skills of singing, dancing, and cooking.

I am looking at this like a wholesome, educational, variety-show style project. Having older women sing catchy songs while teaching traditional cooking is literally just like the plot of a successful Netflix cultural documentary or a wholesome Korean variety show (such as Jinny's Kitchen or Culinary Class Wars).

Pop is not restricted to cooking. MAMADOLL (마마돌): This was a real K-pop group formed in 2022 made up of established idols who took a break to become mothers. They returned in their 30s and 40s to sing powerful, modern, high-energy pop music, proving that older women don't have to change their style just because they aged.

KPop Band Idea: Just a group of Ajimas singing about making Dimsun

I am a fan of the younger groups already, but I think that the industry could really benefit from expanding the age range.

I could see the charm of Older Aunties/Ajimas singing about making Dimsun and Kimchi.

It would be a public good teaching people to cook. And a good job opportunity for another age to show off their skills.

What would they sing about? How would their choreography go?

I need a side gig/part time job help

I work full time but I need more money. Its so so hard to find work. Nobody responded to me on petsitter.com. I have multiple certifications in various fields. Everytime I get an interview (if I apply to hundreds of jobs I get one interview every three months), they say I'm not qualified, even when I say I can do literally everything they ask if I can do and back it up with references. I'm so tired of not being believed, of this soul crushing endeavor, of being accused of not having enough experience for entry level jobs, of being asked illegal questions like "how old are you?" "where do you live" "do you have a husband?"

I also have autism which doesn't help. I dress professionally but am not pretty enough to be an influencer.

school laptop kept crashing and IT wouldnt give me a new one

I reached out to them a ton of times. I told the teachers who said contact IT. I told my parents who said contact IT, to just be focused and charge my laptop. It was during 2020 virtual. My laptop would crash without me prompting it to (completely shut down) and I'd have to reboot 15 minutes in the middle of class and IT just said "look for the update" I was literally failing due to missing so much class time. My parents wifi was a VPN and all my google searches were flagged as suspicious, is that it? What am I supposed to even do? Has this happened to anybody else?

I hate

I hate myself. I feel unimportant. I feel like being pretty and good at my job isn't good enough. I hate this timeline. AI and war. I hate modern psychology. I hate that the only person who I want to marry is addicted to Chatgpt and won't let me read what he does on the computer for hours. I hate that like everything is illegal but people do it anyway, like run red lights, honk excessively, abuse/neglect their kids. I hate that bullying isnt illegal and that harassment is only illegal when it is done to a rich person. I hate that the people with the money have the power. I hate that I'm not enjoying myself most of the time. I hate that all I want is fish and chips and rhubarb pie and I cant have any right now. I hate people want the internet for validation because their own communities are not friendly. I hate that my country doesnt have any sense. I hate that happiness is given through negative reinforcement. I hate that I havent won the lottery yet. I hate that even if I could afford to clone my cat, I probably wouldnt have the connections to do so. I hate that people have such short attention spans because the only other option is regretting everything. I hate that nobody sends me good morning/good night nexts, and that I cant figure out voice commands on my phone. I hate that things sometimes feel like the end of the world and other times feel like they dont matter at all. I hate that nobody reads the same books as me or watches the same movies as me or goes on jogs with me. Its like my friends dont exist outside my smartphone. I hate that death happens and maybe quick funeral then life moves on so quickly because of a disrespectful high pace culture. I hate the tombstones dont have entire novels about peoples lives on them. I hate that people repost womens videos and then dont tag them. I hate that I cant do a damned thing about human trafficking. I hate that the clothing donation bin is locked so nobody steals it (because they need clothes) and then the clothes just get sold to international markets. I hate that stealing from the grocery store is illegal and if I accidentally ring up organic bananas as regular I could get charged. I hate that I have freckles. I hate that I have random ass scars/blemishes that I have no idea where they came from. I hate that I cant get leg extensions or braces because its not "medically necessary" and I gotta choose between saving money and taking a singular college class.

Not allowed to shower before bed, eat a snack, or drink water or go to the bathroom/make any noise at night. sent me to bed without supper.

When I slept over at my dad and his wife's house, they were very strict. My bedroom was in the basement right under the living room and they would stay up late with the tv cranked up stomping around. i wasnt allowed to do anything. even in wintertime i was only allowed one blanket "in case I peed the bed". then I had to wake up before everyone else and do two hours worth of chores but not too loud. only then was I allowed to shower (10 minutes only) or they would bang on the door and scream, eat, and drink water. my pajamas were also too small, but i didnt dare sleep in the nude because i felt like i was being watched.

and i was only allowed to do one load of laundry. at night I wasnt allowed to turn on the light in my room to read a book or do my homework before bed. they didnt let me wear earplugs or headphones or an eye mask. they would go outside to look at me through the window throughout the night which was incredibly creepy. i had sheer curtains that I was not allowed to draw. even though they had a bathroom upstairs, they would go to the one downstairs because they knew it bothered me. i wasnt allowed to have food or water in my room. i wasnt allowed to bring a cup downstairs. i wasnt allowed to go upstairs until i did the part of my chores that required me to be downstairs so I wouldnt wake them up or "get distracted". the only thing i was allowed to do was get up once to go to the downstairs bathroom and cup my hands into the downstairs sink to drink water. my door didnt have a lock on it so anyone could come in at anytime if they wanted to. they didnt lock the front door either and it wasnt a safe neighborhood. they didnt let me lock any doors. they let their friends come over during roadtrips to use the bathroom and i was terrified of possibly getting raped or murdered at night because i basically had no protection.

sometimes when i was "bad" they made me keep the bedroom door open and the lights on. there was another window and i saw a strange man stare at me. i told no one. they would have said i was crazy. they always thought i was crazy.

sometimes my dads wife would watch me in the bathroom and the shower. she wanted me to feel on edge all the fucking time and like i didnt deserve basic privacy, and explicently told me i didnt deserve it because i was "naughty".

they were allowed to swear at me but i wasnt allowed to so much as say "dang."

I was treated like a neanderthal or an animal or a second class citizen.

in case theres any terrible horrible nasty parents out there who are looking for ideas i beg you DO NOT FUCKING DO ANY OF THIS SHIT TO YOUR KIDS.

People should learn the hard way/through experience not to bully others

Rather than having a clear zero tolerance policy, they should put it in fine print AND enforce it. That way people will be less sneaky when they are mean, making it easier to prove.

When kids are sneaky about being mean, they'll be fake but still leave people out and make them feel bad in a "nice" way. Its easier to push that under the rug. I think people should be their mean bully selves and find out after/while they do it that its not allowed.

Also, there should be staff who are Actually Nice and (not just to the rich kids), so that kids feel like they can tell them about it. They should be allowed to do this during study hall and not be pulled out of class to speak with a counselor.

I have a plan: Parents should be FINED for their child bullying. Like a speeding ticket. Increases school funds and punishes bad behavior without disrupting class.
