Just wondering if anyone has a good 3 day strength routine they do, I’ve been doing a PPL routine but I learned it’s not super efficient for 3x a week

Preferably using the weight machines, I’m not super confident in my form since I’ve only been strength training for about a month

Let’s start with the good.

- This is a mid-budget, original IP with a 90~ minute runtime. You don’t see a lot of those anymore.

- Anne Hathaway did her best with the script she was handed.

…That’s really all I have. I wonder if I saw the same movie as all the reviewers.

This movie is trying to simultaneously be a fun, action-adventure popcorn flick while also being a heartfelt family drama. It fails hilariously at both, it simply does not have the heart of the 80’s and 90’s films that the movie is clearly trying to pay homage to.

The End of Oak Street is maybe the most underwhelming IMAX experience I have ever had. The CGI is nowhere near good enough in most scenes to break the illusion that I’m watching a movie, the soundtrack and sound design are not interesting, and the majority of shots are focused on the boring suburbia rather than the far more interesting prehistoric jungle.

There are a small handful of good action scenes, but on the whole, the movie is far too expository for its own good, and the action is typically unexciting.

So, it fails as an action movie. What do we have left?

The most underwritten family drama of the year with completely phoned-in performances. The drama between Hathaway and Mcgregor’s characters is not terrible in concept but there is just not enough material here for anyone to care, and Mcgregor reading lines off a teleprompter doesn’t help in that department.

The kids in the story are even more underdeveloped. The audience is given no reason at all to care for their sibling dynamic, or the girl next door, or the melodrama with the dog. Add in a handful of throwaway characters who similarly lack depth, and this film fails at being a family drama as well.

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills regarding this movie. It is a 2/5 at the absolute most for me, seeing all the high praise is shocking. It’s neither a fun action movie nor a touching drama, and you’ll probably forget the whole thing on the car ride home.

I met this girl on a dating app, we’re both 24 and honestly we hit it off a bit and she seems interested in me.

I haven’t had a girlfriend in years, I kind of gave up on dating and suffered extremely low self-esteem for a long time

I’ve been working on myself so much in the last year, got in really good shape, go to therapy, focus on my passions and hobbies and friends. I feel like I did everything you’re supposed to do to feel confident, and I don’t really, not around her anyway

I think she’s really awesome and I don’t want to mess anything up, but I just can’t help but feel like I don’t have that much to offer her, you know? Like, anything she could get from me, there’s probably someone out there who could do it all better.

How did you get over that feeling?? Or did you just tank it and see what happens?

Hi,

I’m a non traditional (24yo) transfer student, I’m super interested in the illustration program at FIT but i’m not so sure about finances

Tuition price seems pretty reasonable, but I’ve never lived in NYC and it seems super expensive. Does the school itself offer any need-based or merit grants?

FWIW I am kind of insane and totally willing to work a lot of hours during school, but just want to make a wise choice about school so I don’t end up with insane debt

Thanks :)

I’m 24, never finished college due to burnout and just ended up cooking for a living. I sort of enjoy it but I don’t think it’s what I want to do forever

The only thing I ever really loved was drawing, I would love to become a freelance illustrator or something like that… But it’s super competitive, especially with AI already making waves in the market, can’t even imagine what the field will look like as I get older

I know I want to leave Ohio, for a lot of reasons, but I’m honestly not even sure where to. And every time I think about moving somewhere I just get cold feet about the whole thing!! Everywhere that’s nice to live is so damn expensive and it doesn’t feel like I have much opportunity

I feel like I’d totally be down to just get out of dodge and go try something brand new, but it’s like I have decision paralysis about everything and every path I get curious about is full of “the job market is bad” sentiments

Anyone at this age just feel totally lost??

I’ve never shared this before but it’s so hilarious and dumb but also beautiful.

Last year, I took my first edible. I liked smoking but it had been over a year since I had smoked, so I had zero tolerance essentially. I took a 50mg gummy from a dispensary, didn’t really realize that it was a huge dose for someone with a low tolerance.

I had what I can only describe as a psychedelic experience, like an out-of-body sort of thing. I literally sat there for what felt like hours on end thinking about how I wasn’t proud of my life, wasn’t taking care of myself, wasn’t working towards anything better. It was extremely uncomfortable but at the same time I had never looked at my life more objectively than I did in that moment.

I’ve constantly remembered that experience since then, it’s been about a year now and my life is legitimately unrecognizable. I lost 70 pounds, started lifting, moved out of my dead-end college town, committed to chasing my dreams, built way better habits and a better support system and I’m super proud.

I’ve taken some smaller edibles since then, pretty enjoyable but never ever felt that way using cannabis before or since. Whatever they put in that gummy literally fundamentally changed my life and I think it’s so funny.

Anyone had an experience like that, especially edibles??

I’m 24M, I live in a rural college town in the midwest. I cook and sell art for money so income is obviously nothing crazy but I don’t mind roommates.

I’m looking for a lively city with access to better opportunities in general (culinary, art, education, etc), somewhere a little more lively than where I live now.

Anyone familiar with the area think the move would make sense for someone like me? Or maybe some general things you wish you’d known about Boston

Our AC just blew out last night, it’s like 95F and super humid outside. Apartment feels like a literal oven

I know Home Depot/Walmart have window units but I don’t have the cash :( How can I try to keep myself and my cat cool until the AC is fixed??

For me:

Devil May Cry HD Collection, managed to drag my unskilled self through DMC1 100%, managed to stay awake for DMC2 and now on my first playthrough of DMC3

Grand Theft Auto V, only one achievement left, “Masterminds”, and I really do not have the motivation lol but seeing 76/77 unlocked is killing me

I finally bit the bullet and started on Fin in late April, so about 2 months now. I had heard that taking .5mg a day was nearly as effective as 1mg per day and since I was a little spooked about side effects, I went with that at first.

Like 2 days into taking it, I had this really bad ball ache (tmi), it wasn’t THAT bad but it was just sort of scary to see side effects so soon. I ended up switching to EOD and the ache went away completely after about a week.

.5mg EOD seems to be the sweet spot for me, no real side effects besides watery/reduced semen volume (tmi) which doesn’t really bother me personally.

Anyone taken this dose and found success?

I am an art student, and I’ve been a cook/baker as a day job since I left the house at 18. All I want is to be a full time artist working on comics/cartoons/animation etc.

I know it’s not a realistic or “safe” career path, but that opportunity to relentlessly chase my dreams gives me more fulfillment than climbing some corporate ladder ever will. My parents aren’t thrilled about it, and would prefer I just got a “normal” degree and some nice paying job.

But I don’t really care about it… If I have the money to pay my rent, feed myself and my cat, that’s all I ever need. If I had a million dollars in my bank account today, it wouldn’t change a thing (besides maybe ditching the day job).

I know we tend towards idealism, anyone else feel this way about money/career status?

Has anyone ever felt this way?

I won’t go into extreme detail but I come from an abusive household. My formative years were defined by anger, stress, instability and chaos. My very early adult years were similar, I had left the abusive situation but my day to day life and behavior was absolutely unstable.

I always dreamed of a quiet, peaceful, simple life…But I have that now, and it feels like my brain isn’t even capable of handling it. It feels like I’m trapped in a life that shouldn’t be mine, could never be and never will be.

My life now is going to work in the morning, coming home to work on my art, take care of my cat, hang out with my friends… Of course, this all brings me some level of happiness, but I just can’t deny the nagging part of my brain that says I miss the insanity, and that I fundamentally will never be at peace.

Not sure what i’m looking for here but maybe someone else has felt the same way? Thanks for reading my pointless rant

So the only jobs I’ve really had were in food service and the public library, I loved both at some point in time but got kind of burned out on both so looking for ideas.

I’m trying to go to college finally because I’m not super interested in the trades, but all I really wanna do is illustration, and unfortunately I’m not gullible enough to go into debt for something like that

What careers have you guys ended up with that were “autism friendly”? For me personally stuff like office culture and customer service are big issues for me.

The nice thing about restaurant work was that nobody ever really judged me for being a bit strange, and most seemed to find me endearing after a bit. But the constant fast-pace, loud noise, coupled with the fact that my body already hurts at 24 and I get paid peanuts makes me want to get out of it

I enjoyed certain aspects of the library as well, but the customer service angle was more stressful than satisfying and I pretty much felt like I had to mask 24/7

I’m 24 and pretty much been working food service my entire adulthood so far, I’ve been teaching myself how to draw since high school and I am extremely passionate about it.

But, I don’t think there’s any real pathway to a debt-free college degree for me and I am very wary of taking on any debt for an art degree, despite my passion.

I also don’t really think the whole office job thing is for me, I did have one “normal” job some time ago but being queer/autistic I never really got over being perceived as a bit of a freak and the whole structure/culture was really not for me. (Sorry for whining, just being honest)

Anyone here been really passionate about art and ended up in something related that was more stable? Illustrating/comics is the only thing I’ve ever really been passionate about

I’m a prospective transfer student, I am interested in the Public Affairs field, especially non-profit management and local government.

Has anyone on here gotten this degree? If so were the classes good/did you get a good job after graduating?

For Ohio OSU seems like a no-brainer for this sort of thing but would love to hear from some grads too

Dropped out of college for a few years because life happened, I’m 24 now (so older but not old) finally going back to finish my degree.

Any folks who went a little bit older, were you able to fit in/make friends?? I’m going to college for my own benefit so it’s not like that’s my sole focus but I’m from NEO and don’t really know anyone in Columbus so it would be nice to make some friends.

Will I feel a bit out of place or should I just not worry about it? Even at my age I’m starting to see 18 year olds as kind of immature. I’ve never really been the partying type in the first place but I’m curious if the school sees a decent amount of “older” students like me

I am looking to transfer to a state university next spring, trying to make sure I get the max financial aid possible for me.

I made significantly more money in 2024 (which is what they’re looking at for 25-26) than 2025 and this year. With my current SAI based on 2024, the university would require me to pay $18k a year out of pocket which just isn’t feasible for me and I am extremely wary of taking out loans

I see that you can appeal to the schools financial aid office for things like this- So a few questions:

- If I am looking to start spring 2027, when should I make an appeal to the school?

- Is it common to get successful appeals for stuff like this?

- As for appeals, would they just look at my 2025 income instead?
