Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Agree. The graduation photos are pretty funny - kind of uplifting to see their youth having a good sense of awareness and full on mocking their futures.

Her current priority, after all, is to get a breather from the 16-hour days in her previous job. "I lived like a walking corpse," she said.

And I'm sitting here 9 hours a day and get exhausted. Fucking 5 star nightmare.

Young Chinese, who had always been told that the hard work they put in studying and chasing degrees would pay off, are now feeling defeated and trapped.

Crazy how we aren’t so different here in the US.
