Brutal. I feel for her family at the moment. These jobs just aren't worth it. Take care of your mental health first .

Yeah, especially when there's so much alienation in society ppl find ways to conversate and social media is poor substitute, but it's an outlet people have to conversations. But with Ai and the rise of pseudo not posters I feel understandable ppl are disengaging because the main point was to connect with real people but now it's being overran with bots, content creators spamming their links, and so forth.

Yeah I feel the future of social media is gonna be more private self moderating chats. Especially as AI generate content will fill ppl feeds with more and more clutter it's bound to happen. I don't have the stats on me, but most ppl lurk and rarely post, I read. So with less posters and more lurkers it's becoming less interesting .

Like I only recently started posting a couple of years ago not daily or even weekly but occasionally because, I realized that some body has to post, and why not it me?

Looks at first the boxer had the judo(ist?), but once the judo(ist?) finally got grappling he took him down! I was surprised he won!

The more I see reports like this the more, hopeless I feel. Sometimes, I get to a point where I'm not even depressed but deeply numb by the catastrophe that is happening. Mass insanity we see, mass insanity.

I hate to be pessimistic but I feel more and more that we aren't going to deal with climate in a meaningful way. I feel the governments of the world are taking a approach of benign neglect.

I was actually a Sustainability major but switched to Social Services then made my own, because I wanted to focus on stuff I was interested in. But yeah, thinking about it I feel it just depends on how I market it. And I was considering grad school and might get a MSW or MPA.

I'm in my last year of college and for some reason, I decided to design my own major, and I feel like I made a mistake, I'm looking at jobs RN and feel like no employer is going to understand it at all. And that I don't really have much in demand skills? (FYI - it's a BA in community development, so kinda like urban planning but more expansive, my major Combines Social Work, Business, and Sustainability)

In y'all experience, does a college major matter much in the long run?

My recommendations are broken. It just repeates what I'd been watching and never nothing new. I don't know why my algorithm is broken. I have gotten to the point of watching more movies and tv shows at this point.

I see no porn. I do have NSFW turned off in my settings. I dunno if it's lemmy wide thing or exclusive to connect.

Man thanks for the reminder, What influnced my choices was cost and bachelor's doesn't have as much strength in the job market it once has. If a more free and less stressful comes at a cost a social life early one so be it. Older me will hopefully appreciate the foresight. I need to put more work in cultivating a more full social life.

It's a mostly residential school

I don't think so. There might be the possibility but pretty sure, I'm not. I always struggled with being venerable with ppl and making connections with ppl, so I'm not sure if that's a sign of autism but I kinda feel neurotypical. Might just have a strong case of avoidant personality disorder tho.

Thanks a lot for the thoughtful reply, I kinda appreciate long replies! You got me thinking about the positive things I have done so far in college and they are more professional in nature .I got the chance to really dedicate time and study the things that interest me, my school had allowed me to self design my own major which is really cool in hindsight. And I have done about 3 internships,and work-study job,which I really enjoyed and helped me grow a lot as a professional. I feel like I'm more of ambivert that lends introverted. And you gave some really good pointers and advice, I take fully responsibility for the lack of effort on my part, I like was thinking to myself I hadn't gone in about 80% of the buildings on campus, because I really just went to class and came home. So, I'm going to take your advice and just wander.

I'm going to approach my last year of college with no expectations and just go with the flow of things.

I'm going into my last year of college and I kinda felt like I did college wrong. Like, my grades are good but everything else about college I failed at. Like socially and stuff, after 4 years I barely know anybody. I commuted(to avoid debt, and did so successfully) so maybe that's part of my problem.

But I feel college was supposed to be special time in your life and to me it has been indifferent. :/Thoughts?
