Has anyone experience with Kratom? Someone I know is using it. It’s supposed to be legal but it has an opioid effect apparently. I want to understand if he’s in trouble or not.

Same, kratom can be addicting

It is a very mild opioid. Overdose is practically unheard of but still possible to gain a dependence on it. Not really a big deal for occasional use.

I’m hating my job so bad I fantasize about walking out on my boss. My work itself is enjoyable but my boss (co-founder and CEO of a Series C startup) has become such a pain it ruins my mental health and family life. Working 12-15hrs everyday, working on many weekends, yet no appropriate for my work. We are mostly remote so a lot of interactions are over Slack. Now, I could never imagine one can be so obnoxious and mean over Slack messages when talking about work. I want to run away everyday.

A good strategy I have is to see what type of client I am talking to and make dinner in the house for that person. I mean, if it is a couple I prepare a romantic dinner for two, and I tell them to come well-dressed and let them enjoy the dinner in the house. If it is a family, I prepare a family dinner and prepare the family table for all the people who would live in the house. Making them feel at home before buying the house does not fail, what do you think? What other strategies do you use?

Visiting my SOs family and they have planned for us to drive to another city and spend a couple of nights there and do activities however no one is communicating how much the extra stuff will cost. Mind you the trip is tomorrow and they have known we are coming for a month. Should I ask how much this is going to cost us or do I just wait until someone asks me for money? I am afraid this might be like $1000 expense for us that is just unplanned.

God help me. I’ve had sex in the office before- with a man and a woman (I am a woman), but that was in my 20s. I thought I was past that. But there’s this super hot guy in the office, and I learned we had mutual friends. You can cut the tension with a knife between us. We had lunch last week and he kept inviting me to more things. We have these wellness rooms in our building- a lockable, private room with a recliner, sink, table and microwave. He brought it up in conversation and smirked.

Really liked a guy for a while, but realized I fell so hard because I’ve never been shown that much respect, affection, and kindness so early on. Picked up on things I had mentioned in passing that meant something to me & would bring it up later on. Now talking to guy friends, they tell me that’s standard practice in getting to know someone so don’t take it too seriously. I feel like my standards are so low I don’t know who to go for anymore or how to know if anything means more 🥲

My neighbor lets their dog out daily to roam their yard/property and it barks at anything and everything in eye sight. To add to that, I go on walks in my neighborhood (have to pass their house) and it will follow me along their property line barking until it can’t see me anymore. I’ve tried ignoring and also acknowledging it but nothing stops it. It’s also a large dog although they seem to have an invisible fence. Frankly, it’s obnoxious and just annoying. Do I just continue to ignore?

Not sure how to feel about this.
