Considering that's what's I do for a living, I cannot recommend it lol

It feels as though the world of employment was made to be deliberately shit, somehow.

The working world is shit. If you can find something remote go for that, eliminating commutes can reduce the stress a little.

Although idk how the US is going with remote shit, but you're in California so hopefully it still exists.

Turmeric and Garam masala are goated spices / spice blends.

Yeah school was always a bit of a "lord of the flies" type of experience for me.

Definitely a lot of people I had to cut off for different reasons too

It's something I've struggled with too; a lot of the ones I've had in my life were through school, college etc but even then it was never a high number at any one time.

Most of those transitioned online as we all went on different paths, always found it tricky outside of those things haha
