I'm completely lost and struggling and in dire need of income, but don't know where to look or what to do.

I'm unfortunately disabled and a special needs, so I can't work most jobs as a result, and can't freelance as I have no skills or support to pursue that.

Would appreciate at least some guidance on what to do, legit don't know anything about anything and nobody will help, don't have anyone to turn to.

Are there people here that have recently took their #Brompton #bike on the #Thalys? I will be doing that in June, but the information about how to do it is confusing. For instance, the Thalys website says that a folded bike is considered as luggage when it is no more than 75x53x30, and Brompton is that... almost but not quite (it is 59x57x29). Also, some sites insist that the bike must be covered, yet I find pics of uncovered ones in the luggage slots everywhere. #Help! #NeedAdvice #DareToAsk

Etiquette question: my sweet father got me a beautiful handcrafted purse in Italy. It's gorgeous. But I can't bring a purse to my job (we do inventory in several different stores each day and have no central office, lockers, or a place to keep things safe) so I haven't carried a purse in more than a decade. It's lovely, but I will probably never use it. But I'm afraid it would be cruel to give it to someone who WILL use and appreciate it. But I do want it to be used. #NeedAdvice #Gift #christmas

Scenario: You've worked at a place you enjoyed for about 2 years. There's been ups and downs this last year but it's starting to feel like it MAY settle in the new year. Then your boss announces in the last town hall of the year that due to the economic uncertainty of 2023 he will be making tough decisions and we can expect an email with details. You've also been working 50 hours weeks for three months straight which has started to impact your relationships. Do you...

Need Christmas advice!
I want to gift something special to my brother this year, but I don't know what to do.

I cannot send anything physical due to costs of international shipping and I don't think it's even supported in here.

Should I opt for a special drawing? That's pretty much the only thing I am good at.

If funds will be great this month, should I opt for a giftcard?

He's pretty much a Nintendo guy like me. I am hesitant of gifting a game as he has enough of them and no time for playing them.

TBH if I could I would gift him a week off work :blobcatcoffee:

Any advice?

Looking for advice/suggestions.

I have analysis paralysis - too much research, no decision. Right now its about turntables. I own a few vinyls, but don’t know how to inexpensively set up a decent system to listen to them. I’ve spent months online window shopping, reading reviews & reddit posts but end up just closing tabs & walking away.

So, anyone have suggestions for a simple turntable/speaker system for someone just getting back into vinyl?
