It absolutely is: Mansplaining is a colloquial term referring to a man condescendingly explaining something to someone, typically a woman, who already understands it, often in a way that assumes the other person's ignorance. It was info I already had (which a reader could glean from my comment), did not require the explanation, and was tangential to my comment.
I don't unpack my day very often with my husband - unless it was really stressful. The minutia of my work is completely unrelatable for him. I do want to unpack my work life with people who understand - and I have a great network for that. In contrast, I share almost all of the memes I think are funny with him because I want him to experience the same joy.
I think everyone wants to live in a world where it is socially acceptable to pop benzos and do cocaine (although I'm pretty sure it was speed back then, but I'd still take it).
Dumb question: wouldn't working anywhere else be better? I think back on all of my jobs and I would rather work at McDonald's than the one where I was paid $210k. Maybe there is something (even temporary) that can fill the gap while you find a better fit.
I typically am obnoxious (think singing ALL 5 min and 12 seconds of bad company's feel like making love in the most over the top way possible) and my friends heckle me. The heckling part is important.
Tacking onto this, if you can find AI prompt engineering courses, that might be a sellable service that few people offer in this moment. Does make you part of the larger AI problem (probably on par with owning a gas station or drycleaner), but if you can stomach it ethically, there's a big market for it.
Professional services of any kind typically don't require much, if any inventory - because you are selling your time and expertise.
My personal experience in founding/running a business and mentoring other founders is that you will need both an interest in (bordering on passion for) whatever you sell - and decent business acumen. Without an interest in what you are selling, the temptation to offload the work will be high - and you will lose control of quality and serving your customers (hello, Boeing). Without business acumen, you will struggle to keep the business viable (mostly - there are a few exceptions out there). Also, get a good accountant to do your monthly books and taxes - they are worth their weight in gold.
If you are in the US, SCORE is a non profit of volunteers who either are current or former business owners. They offer mentorship to people wanting to start a business and are fantastic.
Finally, be aware that business ownership is high risk high reward, and a shit ton of work. If you are successful, you can be really successful. You can also lose your house.
Feel free to DM me if you have specific questions about getting started.
I dunno... The whole make buses free so they run faster is not well tethered to the reality of bus travel. It's stuff like that that makes me worried for Mamdani.
