My dad used to be a software engineer so he and my mom understand. They just "want better" for their daughter, and for me to "use my gifts" whatever those are.

Unless they mean my sarcasm and foul mouth. But I can use those as a dev.

Well apparently you're hot so maybe be a dev, part time model, a spy, an international woman of mystery, a socialite, and a person who never sleeps. Then you can use your intelligence, beauty, foul mouth, and sarcasm.

Alternatively, you could write/direct/ and appear in parody porn. I don't suggest that though. Hard to beat "Buffy, the Vampire Layer" or "Edward Penishands". But hey, you do you.

Wow... I don’t understand... y can’t most parents just b fine with what their children do... as long as they r living happily without hurting someone else ( stealing or such )
And r earning enuf to have proper meals and a roof to sleep under.
It’s perfectly fine 🤔
They really shudnt push their own desires on their children I guess... but then... m no parent so idk 😕

@projektaquarius I don't think I'm hot, but I appreciate the sarcasm.

@MissDirection I dunno. Your parents keep insisting you be a model or dancer. And aren't you like half Norwegian, half Japanese? Sounds pretty attractive to me.

@projektaquarius Imentioned once that they said that, yes. I also mentioned that they are very biased. I am not sure what their motivations are for those careers, of all things, but they seem like shallow careers to me. As for me, I am just an average looking person, regardless of my ethnic background.

I do find it quite interesting (and this is not directly squarely at you) that I get called out for things I post, yet so many people here post such outlandish shit. It's funny, really. Just sayin'.

@MissDirection I hope I don't come off as calling you out. I actually find you to be one of the more interesting people on here. I was just trying to be meta. I am bad at it 😅

@projektaquarius not really. But it did fit a slight trend I am seeing here. No harm done.

So you have a diverse background. Are plain looking, have amazing mouth skills and called @MissDirection.
Honey you are secret agent material trust me. You can blend in like no one else.
