Avenue 5 is the most brilliant piece of TV I've seen in a long, long time.

Also, I once ghosted an ex after I realized that I couldn't stand talking about her puppy's "idiosyncrasies" for another second.

How do you let a good friend down when they say they have a crush on you? I don’t want to lose this individuals friendship but I also don’t see us being more than friends (I’ve known him for five years)

It’s been 6 years but still feel lots of jealousy about my ex and his wife. I’m married as well now, and I don’t have feelings for him, but can’t help but want the worst for them or for my life to be better. Anyone else feel like this? What did you do to get over it?

How much of family law can be done remotely?

What are your plans for taking care of your parents ,if they are not in the US? My parents are doing great, but there will be time when they will need my help (not just financially)

Do you foresee getting them up here ? Or spend more time in the subcontinent when we get to that point ? Just curious to hear from our community. Bane of being an immigrant!

My gf and I are having a big discussion and I would love to get your thoughts on this. It’s about how much we keep in touch and communicate when I’m on the road. She needs to hear from me everyday multiple times and if I don’t answer her texts within a few hours, she can get quite controlling (text over and over again, also on my work phone, asks what I am doing and gets upset). I am not used to that and have the trust if she doesn’t text back, that it’s for good reasons, busy at work…. (Ctd)

Op-Ed: As a black man with parents from Africa, I feel like Black people have been receiving reparations for decades now. Any further reparations are most likely going to be a waste of resources and regressive—especially if their fiscal.

Take someone like me:

A. Grew up in a single parent home with six brothers.

B. Had to move eight times in eight years because we were always renting a house.

C. I have three brothers who are either in jail or is a recovering addict.

But me (cont’d)...

My two best friends are a tiny bit racist (more that they make racist jokes a lot) and this rubs off on me I hate to say it and I have to train myself to undo whatever has rubbed on me. But they have been more loyal and there for me than anyone else. They aren’t that conservative even, I’m more liberal, but it’s mainly just kind of like jokes or code names for certain races. Ex is “so many detroits over here” cause one said there are lots of black people in detroit. Anyone face similar dilemma?

I teach children with severe and profound disabilities so online learning is not an option, but I video call the parents so the kids can see me because I know it’s very difficult for the parents

Meeting a guy through arranged marriage setup (I am south asian), the guy thinks that girls don't need to work after marriage as husband takes care of expenses , I want to say no to this person for proceeding . basically I feel this person lacks common sense that 2 incomes is better than one in a household. what is the best way to reject this potential groom candidate ?I feel a girl need not sacrifice her career after getting married , as marriage is not life it is part of life.

Met this guy through friends a few years back. He made me feel really special, told me he was going through a bad patch with his gf at that point. Things happened between us in a couple of months and

Love is patient and kind.
Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud. 
Love is not rude, it is not selfish, and it cannot be made angry easily.
Love does not remember wrongs done against it.  
Love is never happy when others do wrong, but it is always happy with the truth.  
Love never gives up on people. It never stops trusting, never loses hope, and never quits. 
Love will never end.
Humbled, convicted, but thankful. Our Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit love us this way!

My husband and I are both very ready to start a family. For those who have finished their PhD while pregnant or with a young child, do you have any regrets?

I've recently moved to India from US but now that everything is WFH I'm wondering how to go about making friends!

We recently sleep trained our 7 month son. He went from waking up multiple times during night and taking only 30 minute naps 3 times during day (most cases nursed to sleep or rocked to sleep or took a drive) to sleeping 12 hours at night without interruption and two 2 hour naps and one 45 minutes nap during day. We both love that he is getting enough sleep and well rested on one hand. On the other hand, we are now wondering if he is sleeping way too much.. contd…

Thank you DNC for allowing me to work from home this week. I would have spent my entire day flying to Philly, but instead I had quality time with my mom ☺️

Sometimes I wish when you were with a partner, there was a very clear sign that the person doesn’t love you so that you know it’s time to walk away. My partner and I keep having the same problems, and when I express he’s making me feel a certain way he says he didn’t mean it like that obviously. But when i say something and explain that it’s not how I meant it he doesn’t care and proceeds to label me as an unkind person who doesn’t support/love him unconditionally. *continued in comments*

Pregnant with my first, due 3rd week of April. My husband has an optional work trip in February for a few days, and asked if I was comfortable with him going. My first reaction was of course, it's still a couple months out from my due date and I'm having a healthy pregnancy so far. Am I under thinking this? Any other considerations I should have?

How are people managing WFH with their kids? We have a 2 year old and 5 year old and my partner is also wfh. Small condo, no nanny. It’s freaking insane and my husband and I are fighting every day....

Well that’s the end of that! Madi & Peter broke up. I’m sure the rumors about him sleeping with Kelly & a producer + reaching out to Hannah B had something to do with it 🙄

What’s everyone doing for the snow storm?

Where should I go tonight around Chelsea Market ? M here

Exchanged 23 emails over 1.5 months to set up interviews and nothing yet from my recruiter. And he hasn’t told me what to expect either. Can anyone tell me what to expect for Product Strategy interviews? (Not PM, Pgm, or S&O)

Hello everyone ,
I’m currently working in insurance customer service at an agency. I work in the mortgage department assisting w mortgage changes , payments etc. I’ve been thinking about becoming a claims adjuster most likely for property damage . Is it worth it ??? I hear a lot of talk about how claims adjusting is a lot of work and very demanding but I think my current position has prepared me for the challenge. What are some good companies I maybe should apply for after getting my license?

Who would you want to include in your union? Which levels would be exempt? E-suite? G-suite? Directors aren't managers—or are yours? Who makes final decisions and who has to just live with them?

It’s Hump Day & Time is flying 🤯 What are some of things you do or say to yourself to keep you motivated to just keep going?

I’ll start… Waking up in gratitude for the simple things I appreciate in life because life is short and I’ve joined some hip hop dance classes recently to switch up the ways I workout which have been fun

Looking for recommendations for a VSO/service to help me improve my disability rating. I’m about ten years out and realizing that what I was rated getting out (90%) was probably low and has worsened.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts? I started contributing >20 years ago to my employer's Roth 401k and have rolled it over to a Roth IRA and moved it between multiple custodians, e.g. Fidelity, Vanguard, UBS, Personal Capital, etc. It is unclear to me how much I contributed vs how much I earned by investing it.

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

What's wrong with tech Mahindra why IT people are reluctant to join?

Does anyone know any Southern US based designers for clothing visual design? Freelance preferably.

I have family money and it’s caused me to become frustrated with my job. I really enjoy my work, but the compensation is not significant in comparison to the money I already have. My cost of living is beyond what my job provides and financed mainly by my inheritance. My parents look down upon my job and spending the last few months in quarantine with them has made things worse. They make me feel like my job is pointless. Are they right?

This might be a shot in the dark, BUT… can anyone offer a referral at Converse??!

I'm watching the film "The Disruptors" and just crying (hellooooo emotional regulation issues). But it's so validating and frustrating at the same time. I've had a terrible several months at work, and I am relating so hard to the struggles even of the school kids in this. Like my boss is the teacher throwing me into the hallway because they are tired of me. It's also comforting to see who has excelled at their passion with it, even if I can't quite find mine and feel like I'm failing.

What software companies have offices (HQ or remote offices) in San Diego area?

Currently an engineer in MCOL area with 4 years experience (post graduating, not counting experience before/during college and large side gigs). I have a BS/MS/PhD in engineering and an MBA in business analytics. Currently making 100k as an engineer IV. As an engineer with a functional knowledge (but no former training) in IT and data analytics, what are the best avenues to get to 200k without changing fields and starting at an entry level position (or moving to a HCOL area)?

I was contacted about obtaining a Ukrainian bride 😳

He said he wouldn’t marry me unless I follow him back to his home country. Make the leap for love or don’t settle for someone who decides on geography over you?

Today would have been the one year anniversary of my first relationship. I ended it because we were only comfortable but not in love despite trying to work it out. I didn’t want to waste his time if he can find someone to love him more than me. But yet today, I feel so hung up over my decision.

I’m (37m) considering leaving a 6+ year relationship because of mismatch libido and preferences. I want 2-3 times per week. She wants one phoned in session every 10 days. I’ve read every book and implemented every expert tip. She doesn’t seem to want to put in the work to find a work around. She’s pushing hard for marriage and kids but I’m worried I’m walking into a dead bedroom and eventual divorce. Has anyone here been in my shoes?

I feel so lonely and it’s not like I don’t have loads of loving friends that want to see me but since splitting with ex there’s just been a void. I know I can be alone, and I’m not going to chase something I know won’t work for companionship, but I genuinely just want someone to love and no friendship is able to fill this desire… anyways looks like it’s just work then gym…

I am so looking forward to winter, like I do every year 🤗

One thing I learned from that pic thread is that yall comments dont match yall appearances. Yall are some hot af mfs in here. Esp the analysts and associates. All hot. Special mention to Program manager & kpmg 🙎🏽‍♀️. And the thread master/director himself. Oof. 🙉🥵😮‍💨

I can't concentrate at work today, because i have a feeling i am going to be getting the results of my Mckinsey Final Round Interview.

Currently in a long distance relationship, and this year me and my future fiancé are looking for a place to settle down. I’m in the west coast and she’s in the east coast. The most logical option is to move back to NYC but I’m not too excited about the work culture, weather, and work opportunity in tech. CA also has terrible housing options for my price range and ranks low in education. Is it worth it to sacrifice education and housing for better career prospects and better weather?

Does everyone Google work people and search on FB/insta for others or just me? I always find it weird when someone has 0 online presence

Jiggly puff.. jiggguuulllyy puffff

As a 40+ woman, my adoration of Miley Cyrus music seems very misplaced. Currently listening to ATTENTION: Miley Live.

5ft 10 in is the ideal height for dudes. More than that and you’re an Avatar, less than that and you’re too short.

For those who settled for someone who wasn’t the one, why did you do it?

I’m hosting my family for Thanksgiving and am already dreading it.

I had a dream where my utilization was -0.4%. I woke up in night sweats.

FedEx has been stealing peoples orders heavily for the last couple months…

My question is how are big name retailers still using their services.

Is anyone here in golden handcuffs? (absolutely hate what you do for work but it pays well and you have been accustomed to a certain lifestyle that it provides so you are unwilling to change careers)
