Totally new to this site. And kind of disturbed by it already. This is the first thing I saw, at the top of the list, after I logged in ...
I mean ... 😳
On a more serious note. I'm in my last year of college. One of the fortunate ones to already have an amazing job, that I've been working at for about 6 months now. Just here to see what this site is about. So, any experienced members want to provide any guidance on what's kosher here, and what isn't. I'd really appreciate it.

Well, you ARE on the internet and there ARE a lot of depressed folks in the world, so you're gonna see that from time to time. But, on the other hand, there are posts like this one -
