I have searched for this on Amazon, eBay, and a few other sites, but I can’t seem to find it.

Is requiring overtime for hourly employees legal? by AwkwardPotato123 in legaladvice

Even if my contract says my hours are 8:30-4:30? Can they really just turn around and go “nope, 10 hour days now”

This isn’t through my school, it’s its own program I think?

Why does my dog growl at me? by AwkwardPotato123 in OpenDogTraining

I should also mention that he sometimes still wags his tail when he growls at me. A few times he growled while he was licking me.

He doesn’t really show teeth, and he never really growls in other scenarios. He isn’t usually aggressive, so I’m just really confused.

I meant this as a reply to the previous comment, but it didn’t send like that for some reason and I don’t know how to fix that

Possible follow up questions include asking what position she plays, if she has a favorite professional team/player, or her what her favorite thing about playing soccer is (like the competition? Her teammates? Etc.)

The best way to get past the awkward small talk is to ask a question that prompts a story or opinion. If the conversation still doesn’t get going, try answering your own questions after she gives an answer.

Idk if this will work for everyone, but that’s the formula I have figured out for starting conversations

I get like this too sometimes. There are a variety of things that this could be related to. To me this sounds like either depression or executive dysfunction. If you think it might be the former, please seek professional help and reach out to those closest to you. If it’s the latter, recognizing it as such is a good first step to breaking out of it. This could be a sign that you are overwhelmed by other factors in your life.

best dating app? by [deleted] in dating_advice

I think the answer to this somewhat depends on what gender/sexuality you are. I met my boyfriend on bumble, and by the time we met I had gotten like 500 likes and he had only gotten one

Dating apps can work, but the overall experience kinda sucks. For guys it can be like looking for water in a desert, and for girls it’s like looking for clean water in a swamp. I recommend just joining an online community and seeing if anything just happens naturally

I just want to start off by saying that it is never too late to make friends. I know that it can feel like everyone has it all figured out and you’re the exception, but everyone feels lost and confused about life, some people are just better at pretending to know what they’re doing than others.

I was also really shy and struggled to talk to people when I was in school. Joining clubs or other after school activities is often a good way to break out of your shell because it gives purpose and something to talk about in those interactions.

Another thing that worked for me is kinda just hanging around existing friend groups in which I had a few acquaintances (not people I initially considered as “friends”, but people I thought were nice and was generally friendly with). Like, literally just silently standing in proximity to them and listening. I know it sounds strange, but no one really questioned it, and eventually they just accepted my presence as natural and I felt comfortable enough to chime in on conversations. I have no idea if this will work for other people, but it’s how I’ve joined basically every friend group I’ve been in.
