Prior to Covid, I worked part time. During college, I worked on personal projects. It's hard to have industry experience if you haven't yet entered the industry.

I did, but it only applies to federal loans. I'm currently paying "personal loans" which are student loans from other lenders.

Despite having a degree, which shows that you can do the job, employers still ignore your application, or reject you.

Now, college students have a thing called loans. Whether or not you have a job, those loan providers still want to be paid.

If the student can't pay the loans, and their family cosigned the loans, but they can't pay it, then thats a LOT of pressure from family, and everyone involved is going to have a bad time.

My degree is in game programming. I rolled a nat 1, I guess, cause all the gaming jobs are abruptly disappearing this year, and I just graduated last year. I've given up on pursuing a job for a game company, for now.

I've been in the red a couple times. I'm barely afloat as it is. During December and January, I was thinking about either suicide, or abandoning my life. Going on the road.

But I didn't have the strength to really do it.

I'm at about $130,000 in debt. I am working minimum wage. And entry level for my field is 60-90k.

You can imagine how gutwrenching it might be to be that close to having a liveable income, when you were raised poor, and you've only had minimum wage jobs your whole life. Now I'm back at a minimum wage job, and I have to pay ~$1000 a month in just school loans.

So...I can relate.

• Minecraft, sometimes.
• Garden of the Sea, when I first played it
• Walkabout mini golf
• Lumber Tycoon 2 on Roblox

I've played every BL to date, except new tales.

The writing peaked in 2, it was great in 1, it went downhill after that.

The company is at fault. I don't think there's laws currently in place that say a vehicle has to be manned on the street, just that it uses the correct signals and responds correctly to traffic, but I may be wrong. It may also be local laws.

The idea of reusable bags was great, but they operated the same as the old plastic bags. They're thicker, more durable, but most people don't care enough to bring back their old bags, and will just buy new ones because it's convenient. Speaking from personal experience.

Also, different places have different protocols, sometimes they make you bag your own groceries if you bring your own bags. Again, some people won't bother.

It's a healthy habit, nothing to worry.

Playing with sticky items (tape, stickers) rolling them in my fingers, sticking them to my hands and peeling them.

Additionally, touching things to my lips.

Is this a shota?

Because of the above, I don't have time. Any free time I get is 2 hours or so.

I might going forward. I finally am getting days off at work. Before I would get day off and I wouldn't know until the morning of.

Who are you waving at, Happy?

Nobody grandma, let's go home.

$130,000 in student loan debt. Cosigned by my family members who can't afford to pay either. I can't vent to them about it either.

I have a shit job, basically minimum wage, that I commute 45 minutes to.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Game Programming. Guess how many of those jobs are available?

I lack the will to live, but don't have the strength to kill myself.

In a way, NFTs were supposed to solve this.

Now that's a healthy relationship. I agree marriage isn't for some, just like having kids isn't for some. To each their own, perhaps my views will change in the future.
