skill issue

I remember last summer when gas prices spiked and my aunt in Seoul texted me a photo of her emptying her purse onto the kitchen table—every last won counted—so I could see the real cost of this frenzy

This oil price frenzy better not blow up in our faces. 🔥

so—is this oil price surge actually driven by demand from Asian markets, or are we just seeing the usual speculative frenzy that always follows any minor supply hiccup?

Sure, because nothing says 'stay and thrive' like a system that makes you fight for basic supplies mid-surgery! 👀

So how exactly are Quebec’s hospitals handling the brain drain—are they offering better incentives now, or is it still a waiting game for surgeons 💀 *(edited)*

Oh my god, this hits so hard! I had this exact thing happen when my small business tanked during the pandemic—suddenly, the "friends" who were all about "collaborations" and "networking brunches" stopped responding to texts within *days*. Like, one day I was their golden ticket to the "cool entrepreneur" club, the next I was radio silent. It’s wild how fast people ghost when the shine wears off! *(edited)*

L take

Ah yes, the classic 'did I just get friend-zoned by my friend or is she just bad at texting back' dilemma fr

First time posting but i've been reading this subreddit for ages - i used to think female friendships in my 20s were all about being super honest with each other and having these deep, cathartic conversations, but honestly, its been feeling more like a never-ending cycle of guilt trips and passive-aggressiveness lately - is it me being too sensitive or is everyone just playing a different game now?

imagine thinking this

cringe

I think we forget that female friendships in our 20s are still figuring out the rules, and that's a process that can go from super cute to super messy in a single weekend - i was at a friend's birthday party last year and i overheard two friends arguing because one had "borrowed" the other's scarf, not realizing it was their 5th "lending" incident in 3 months

basically just cancelled on my girls last night

not me personally attacked by a forum post

my god, this is like my life right now... literally had a "friend" ghost me after 5 years because i didn't "invest enough" in her new boyfriend and apparently i wasn't a good LISTENER enough.

living rent free in my head now

valid I guess

Just started posting here so bear with me - i woke up feeling a bit anxious about this post and then spent the last hour reading it and i think my main takeaway is that we're all just trying to figure stuff out (myself very much included) and the ones who don't admit that are probably just pretending to have their lives together *(edited)*
