For legal reasons I cannot have any opinion on the following: Gestures broadly at everything in the Middle East

A metal red uno reverse card sits in my wallet. It was a gift from my girlfriend and an acknowledgement of our in joke of replying no u to compliments and I love yous.

Don’t worry, we’re in the worst one

No ridicule here, only empathy. It’s a rough hand you’ve been dealt. I wish I had some magic advice to give you but I don’t have any relevant knowledge of Cambodia or how to better secure a life for yourself. What I can say is that being in your 20’s you still have plenty of time to figure your life out.

You’re educated and in tech so it’s possible some remote work could come your way, or that you could try your hand at creating something of your own to try and market. Contributing to GitHub projects might help you make some connections and networking for jobs. If all else fails, there’s no shame in doing some retail, sales, or labour work while you wait for the tech market to improve (I’m in IT myself, it’s rough out there right now with all these layoffs.).

Either way, please don’t make any rash choices you can’t take back. It may seem pretty hopeless right now but time has a way of changing that perspective. The world is better with you in it.

Much love from your Canadian brother :)

Thanks, I’m pleased to say it was well worth the wait. Here’s hoping your patience is just as rewarded.

I sympathize, I recently ended nine months of job hunting. I found the internet a great source of free content to enjoy which much improved my penny pinching months. Libraries are also a wonderful asset to the budget conscious

I’m a 10-15 guy myself

Fuck clapping back in a country with that high a level of access to guns and that little mental health access. Anyone could have a gun and I’m not playing that game. I’m not usually too confrontation adverse but I’d change my name to Mat (First name Floor) before arguing with a weirdly aggressive American.

Hi, great write up with good info. I’d recommend some formatting though as without breaks it’s just a massive wall of text. Thanks for contributing to the discussion with such valuable insights!

Hello world

Thanks, I didn’t actually have any of these but I love how ineffectual this highly publicized “raid” was

Took me nine months of applications. Nothing for 7 months, suddenly 3 offers in a month. I got a hell of a good step up from my part time IT gig though, so it was worth the trouble.

You don’t have to, but it sure helps

Kissed a dude. I’m a dude. He tried to use tongue, I’m a straight guy so that was a nope

I’d like to propose a micro-genre: Bromance films

Definition: Two or three characters (who need not actually be men) just getting up to mad shit and being great friends either before or as a result of the journey. Not entirely unlike a buddy cop movie but no need for cops.

Examples: Princess Bride, Road to El Dorado, Emperor’s New Groove, Three Musketeers

This micro-genre is absolutely predicated on the quality of it’s dialogue but it’s some of the best out there.

Nah, but man that was an abrupt “We weren’t close enough to share that experience yet” moment

The movie straight up ended a relationship I had just because we weren’t that far into dating when we watched it and that shit was bleak as hell
