Brothers and sisters, forgive my long absence and for not keeping my promises. I had to take on a couple of jobs to finally pay off my debt and enter my upcoming 22nd year with a cleared loan, without the shakes and nervous disorders caused by the monthly payment.

A piece of advice from me—I might be a nobody to you, but still—don't take out loans. If they push a credit card on you at 18, tell that bank to go itself. Even if the credit limit is small, they'll keep increasing it and increasing it until you owe 5 times the original amount. This is a bank of assholes; they want to screw you over, to drive you into a fucking credit grave. Because at 18, 99% of people have zero financial literacy, zero understanding of how anything in this world works. Find another bank. Especially if your family can support you financially without issues, especially if your family is above average in terms of wealth. At 18, you're still a kid (even if you can already buy yourself beer and cigarettes). You don't have the education or qualifications to get a proper job. Study—you have your whole life ahead of you for work. Don't play at being independent and self-sufficient at that age. Later, you'll end up having to work around the clock—not figuratively, but literally for days on end, to the point of hallucinations. Remember: you spend someone else's money, but you always pay back with your own.

But there's good news, too: I got into a master's program and will now become a specialist in criminal justice. I also completed my medical examination and will possibly (and quite likely) start my career as an inquiry officer.

From now on, I'll try to be more active. The plan is to finally fulfill the request to rework the old bots—add a lorebook (just need to figure that out). I'm really glad they added several options for starter messages; now you can add up to 10 and redo the CSS again.

So, in general, there's a lot of work to do.
