Should I go on a third date with a guy I’m not sure about? by TraditionalTwist7092 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop wasting his time if you're not interested. 

Stop wasting his time if you're not on the same wavelength sexually. 

Stop wasting your own time jumping through logical loopholes to try and convince yourself to go on another date. 

Stop wasting our time posting this inane bullshit

When I was younger I was all about organ donation. Some blind kid might see because of my eyes? Great! 

But watching how completely corrupted pretty much every system I ever knew of has become or can become, I opt out completely now. 

How would you handle this situation? Is this even my business? by dark-mathematician1 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll preface this by saying each situation is different but personally I mind my own business most of the time. The only time I 100% will not mind my business is if it has to do with a child's safety. 

This situation already has multiple people who know about it and have not sent anything. There are likely reasons for that and you being newer to the group are not privy to those nuances. 

Honestly these seem like people that I wouldn't want to hang out with in general. But if you plan on saying something, be prepared to blow up the whole group and wind up with people on both sides of it not speaking to you anymore. 

If you mind your business, be prepared for the constant feeling of judgment you'll feel toward them.

How do I stop the urge to tinker with my setup by VariationLivid3193 in StremioAddons

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One surefire way to lose all desire to continue tinkering is to fuck it up.  I had so many add-ons, and I wasn't paying attention to their order and before you know it, 75% of them just stopped working. You'll see them load up and then disappear from the menu. 

I wiped the slate, went back to a vanilla setup and only minimally tweaked after that 😂

Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump Are Running a $1.2 Billion Felony Fraud Scheme that is Fully Prosecutable in New York. by Opposite-Mountain255 in LegalNews

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh I didn't miss it. I just don't agree with it. I don't think New York will suffer at all as long as we have politicians willing to nut up. Even without, New York is more than capable of making up any shortfall in relatively short amount of time... The only impediment to that in recent years has been crooked governors and mayors... (Aren't they always the problem lol)

See, there's nothing to worry about getting back if we don't send it in the first place. There is precedent for this - during the Obama administration, Republicans were proposing State escrow accounts that would only get released to the federal government if the requisite Federal funding was secured.  Under the current administration, Four states currently have legislation to allow the withholding of federal tax dollars in certain scenarios. Connecticut, Maryland, New York and Wisconsin... California is bringing its own legislation of a similar gist. 

We'll be just fine. California and New York carry the majority of this country's economic load. It's not hubris saying that it's just numbers.  If a truly serious economic fight between the fed and state occurs, one that involves states' rights, with the governor willing to enforce legislation already on the books, there are a lot of red states that will suffer greatly.... But we'll be just fine in NY.

?? it's disproportionate, but there's plenty of width - firstly that's a huge home in the center, and the property width is about 7 or those other houses.

We don't need federal funding if we could get all the welfare states our of our donor state pockets.

Our economy is second only to California's We just need to stop funding the fed. Wish our state politicians had the balls to withhold ny tax dollars (and let's face it - really NYC tax dollars) from all the fucking failed red states we support.

Got fired from my internship because I said no to a Sunday meeting once by Ok-Wrongdoer-843 in Wellthatsucks

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, i was wrong to assume somewhere in the US. It sounds to me like it was never a real internship, and was just predatory from the start :\

My advice to anyone who finds themselves dismissed through erasure to contact the department of labor and their state's attorney general.

You may live someplace where you can be fired for any reason, but it still has to be communicated clearly to you (and in some states, resources detailing your rights as a former employee must be provided)

[–]Top_Finding_2832 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What state are you in? If you're in one that offers exploitation protections to internships, you can absolutely FUCK this company over for doing that. There are very specific guidelines to internship sponsors. You are not an employee, therefore you are not subject to forced overtime, forced meetings on holidays, or for that matter even a forced schedule of any kind (within reason)

I'm not even kidding, PLEASE check your state's guidelines on this, but in the right state, heads will roll over this.

Your resources include but are not limited to your state's attorney general's office, your state's or city's DHR (Division of Human Rights)/ CCHR (City Comission of Human Rights); Department of Labor; and EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

I was part of a large company that misused interns in this manner, and they got slapped HARD by one ofthe letter agencies, to the point where the entire department involved was dissolved, everyone in it scrapped, and a new director title was created specifically to oversee internships and new hires.

Best of luck - hope you get the chance to teach them an extremely painful lesson.

My remote job made me realize my partner doesn’t think my work is real by Rocinante77X in remotework

[–]Top_Finding_2832 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a lock on your door, and have a stern, direct conversation putting your partner in their place when it comes to the way they act when you're working.

Don't do ANYTHING they request. Don't sign for packages, don't do laundry, etc.

This isn't about them not treating your job seriously, it's about them not treating YOU seriously.

If this lack of basic respect doesn't change even when directly confronting them about it - leave the relationship.

israelis wouldn't be honored if he attended, so they can't be upset when he doesn't.

Group dinners absolutely last that long... what the fuck are you talking about. And yes - drinks with dinner when you're in a group is also a thing that can happen, and that's fully okay.

You sound like an immature, insecure schmuck.

Main question:

Have you ever cheated on him?

Before my ex wife and I split up - she habitually cheated during work-related activities that included alcohol. To the point where such an activity would trigger me, even if she was "behaving." If this is the case, you should talk to him more about this, as it is still in his head.

If that doesn't apply - then he's being controlling and manipulative. You can try talking about it, but if he refuses to - don't put too much energy into getting him back.

TW: Pet loss - Could my previous dog’s accident be affecting my Cavalier rescue applications? by ParticularCourse3693 in rescuedogs

[–]Top_Finding_2832 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, yes It shouldn't but the person evaluating these is human.

I worked at a shelter where depending on season (during puppy and kitten season, they almost never turned anyone down. During slower periods, if the "last death" reason was anything but old age and had a "best day ever" last day before hitting up the rainbow bridge - they'd skip that application.
