  • Not that great.

    Starting a new (internal) role tomorrow which got me a £4k payrise and is going to set me on a path to chartered accountancy, which is great when just three months ago my employer announced plans to lay off my whole department and outsource hundreds of jobs to India. After escaping redundancy and purchase ledger (I have been working in PL jobs for the past three years and desperately wanted an out), I should be feeling jubilant.

    If anything I feel the opposite.

    My sadness/frustration comes from the fact that my love life has all but flatlined. I grow sick of trying to use Tinder, Bumble, Okcupid, Hinge and pretty much any other dating app to exist and getting zero matches from legitimate people. I grow sick of being given false platitudes about how I’ll find someone eventually, when I just know that I’m going to go through my thirties still a virgin.

    Part of me seriously worries about success, that I’ll soon each the point where I could command a high five figure, possibly a six figure salary, then suddenly have women flock to me not out of admiration but out of wanting my money.




  • r/TrueOffMyChest. Not the original OMC sub which has been commandeered by leftists and where you’ll be banned just for participating in a subreddit their draconian mod team disagree with. There’s a reason why TrueOMC has almost reached the same subscriber count as its predecessor, because it’s not a partisan hellhole.

    Something like that would be great on Lemmy.

    Other than that… NSFW subreddits.
