"Let’s talk about the overhyped masterpiece known as “Networking Events.” We all dress up, slap on fake smiles, and exchange business cards like we’re in some capitalist Pokémon battle. But in reality, it’s just a room full of people pretending to be interested in each other’s elevator pitches while silently contemplating their life choices.
It’s the only place where small talk becomes an extreme sport, and the only gold you’ll find is the regret of spending hours in uncomfortable shoes. Networking events – the Hollywood blockbuster of disappointments"

Dortha,
Correction. It's a 'responsibility.' But being responsible is now considered racist.

#2 I'm just glad i am nearing the end of my 3rd career and once I walk away from this one, I am going to retire for good. F@#k the lies, bullsh#t and acting just to network with people.
#3 I enjoyed prom though the sex afterwards was only ok. Hey we were young and didn't know all the things we would learn later in life.
#6 Hmm. I think the peak years were my 20s to 30s. Became an NCO, advanced infantry, SNCO. Strong, tough, multi skilled, saw a lot of the world. Got married and had kids. After leaving the Corps, it has been a rather slow burn
#14 You need to see the right ones to get the true thrill of it. An A-10 gun run providing fire support to your guys is a wonderful and beautiful thing.

#16 This is a high school health class PSA. Kids are far more complex than a noisy creature that grows up to hate you. Depending on how you treat and raise your kids they can be the best friend everyone always wanted as adults, or complete strangers (I'm the latter, but then both my parents ended up on child abuse or sex abuse lists, soooo yeah).
