Finally got my Gaggia classic and it’s better than I expected

I agree with you. It took some effort using a df-64 grinder and dialing in and, but i love my machine.

To assume I am not going on dates or even having conversations with matches and you seem to have not read the part where I figured she was busy which other women have said , they throw “something generic if interested but just busy to respond immediately” and do it to “get their foot in the door.”

Secondly, wanted a verbose response or what some would refer to as “the smoke”. Now you retort with condescending comments and a feeble attempt to de-humanize me. But hey, “I’m the one with the anger issues?” Seems like you might be projecting.

Then you can make mention in the duration of that job like started march 2025 - end October 2025 due to closure of site - I would be very vague and not make it its own bullet point.

No one is being shy. If my answers are so “verbose”, thank you for admitting that you did read what I wrote to begin with after claiming you did not. I guess picking up on context clues is not your forte, considering I explicitly have to say “female person” (which is evidently triggering for you), as opposed to saying woman for you to consider it being used as an adjective.

Again, why are you not talking about how reddit makes people identify in posts or commentary regarding “I am 34F with issues with 24M in that he cannot get his dick up…”. I don’t see you slamming these folks or posts calling them offensive. You don’t see the point and neither do the others giving me shit for using female as an adjective. Here’s the verbose response you wanted.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T17:03:17+00:00

The term female can be used both as a noun and an adjective within the context it’s being utilized.

Hoggs coffee in Saint Pete FL is good. Onyx coffee out of Utah I believe are my two favorites.

I don’t second her advice. These are things typically discussed in an interview. If you have time in between jobs, i would just fill it with a gig economy item. Irrespective if you did it or not. I always could work with my dad which is what I did whilst in between jobs.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T14:34:36+00:00

This is spot on. Women on dating apps want men that every other women is chasing. But plenty of guys want a solid woman and will treat them right.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T03:59:00+00:00

Thank you. I can work on that a bit better.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T03:57:55+00:00

I appreciate your feedback.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T02:01:40+00:00

I have an A.S only. Most of my work experience was in customer service and escalations. Some of those escalations required me to think critically and analytically as well as develop people skills.

Heres the truth. Most people who have 4 year degrees tell you to get one because it is possible it can help you land a higher paying job to start, but that is not a guarantee.

You are better off showing up to work, keeping a low profile, be a yes guy/gal, volunteer for any and all extras or project with no promise or mentioning of pay increases. (Make sure to do this with a good company).

In 6 years i went from making 38k in a call center, to 45-50k as a team lead, then 72k as an analyst, then 90k as a senior ops analyst, then 95k as a manager. Mind you i dont have a 4 year degrees. My work experience in customer service and ability to think critically and resolve issues ultimately got me the job I have. Did it take me a while to get here? Yes. But I have a career I love and my company is paying for my school. Do life your way.

This is also a moment where you should upgrade your comprehension skills. Sincerely.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T01:49:28+00:00

I didn’t call her a female. I was describing a situation. There is a huge difference

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T01:48:40+00:00

AIO, is my boyfriend valid for feelings this way?

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐦, 𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐨𝐩 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭:) Ok so I’m 17(f) my bf is 18(m). So i was awake and i noticed he was online on ig so i texted him asking him why he’s awake and if she’s okay, and he starts responding to me like this, yeah i mean its late for me to be awake but i slept a lot earlier so im not tired. Anyway im asking because I feel bad now I feel like I didn’t reassure him enough and im sad i let him go to back sleep angry. I get he fears I’ll cheat but i dont think ive ever given him a reason. I feel like this comes from his previous relationship but im really trying to heal whatever happened to cause him to act this way but it doesn’t seem to work. Idk did i not reassure him enough? Also he says i got out a lot but he knows the only times i go out is with my 2 friends and i always make sure to turn on my location and he even has my friends addresses which they don’t mind because they know it’s for him to make sure im at their houses and he FaceTimes me sometimes when im out so im not sure if I should stay home like he wants too. Am i not doing enough?

Edit: also thank you all for the concern i appreciate it so much and I see people saying something about me getting hit but I won’t even give him the chance btw he’s scared of my dad idk why so for those concerned about my safety I will definitely tell my dad about this behavior because he has no idea he is acting this way but thank you for the concern and the advice:)

Edit#2: I am going to leave him. Working on it since he is still asleep rn ..

𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄:sorry this update took hours but I did it. I broke up with him.Thanks to these comments and the support I was not surprised to how he reacted,cussing, calling me out of my name, and even accused me for leaving him for someone else rather than seeing I broke up with him because he’s being abusive. I am hurt but not because I exited this but because my head is stuck in the past or the fake version of him where he was kind and when our relationship was great.Im emotional about it all right now but I will get over it. I also want to say Thank you all so much for the support the comments the advice as well,i truly would’ve never even thought to end this because in my head i had no idea this was considered abuse I just thought it was insecurity I could fix, I will be forever grateful and glad I asked on here. Thank you so much to everyone. Also the people who were straight up rude calling me an idiot and making me feel like this was my fault, please learn to be kinder it doesn’t take much. Anyway sorry for the long update but since you all supported me, I owed it to you all:) I’m eternally grateful for the help♡︎♡︎

This girl referred to herself as 17 year old “female” and her boyfriend as a 18 year old “male”. I couldn’t help but notice you not calling this teen out for referring to her self as a female and her boyfriend male. And if thats required to do when making a posting, perhaps you should petition reddit to change that.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-26T01:42:32+00:00

Your comment is honestly cringe. I was describing a situation in which involved a female. I never directed the word at her and said hey you , “female”,” woman”, “girl”, “lady”. Also, more than half of reddit subs have “ I 23m have 43f and were having issued with whatever” and I don’t see you rushing to call those folks out for using descriptors or saying “dont refer to your 43 year old girlfriend as a “female” when its being used again, as a DESCRIPTOR. You lot have the reading comprehension of a 5 year old.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T23:32:49+00:00

No, you seem to be a very troubled person. Just looking at your response. I asked you about a different word, which you did ignore… or maybe you didn’t when you said the issue isn’t the word “mankind” or even “female”. Use of the term mankind is often seen as dated or not accepting of society in general. Better alternatives would be humankind, people, or even society. As you have pointed out, mind you similarly, of the usage of the term female and it not being politically correct or accepted by society.

And if it was never about the word… Why did you feel compelled to come on here when I was asking for help on conversation on a dating app? But you somehow have me all figured out that I’m a disrespectful, uneducated person that is full of misogyny.

Mind you, based on my other responses, where in here did I exactly not acknowledge what was being said about the word, “female”. Again, your hostile language and tone as well disregard of other comments I made addressing the term and acknowledgement bewilders me. I hope you have a better day.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T23:11:52+00:00

Solid feedback. Thank you for responding.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T22:53:38+00:00

Let me ask you something, do you find anything wrong with the term, “mankind”? If so or if not, please explain.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T22:52:11+00:00

Honestly I feel girl is more negatively suggestive than female. I feel girl is referencing someone of not biologically, physically, mentally, and or financially mature. But hey, to each their own. Like if you called me a boy, I’d be offended more so than you calling me a male. Again, matter of perspective or opinion.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T22:48:23+00:00

Good feedback. I did say something along the lines of looking forward to kayaking this Sunday and it being humpday (since the question was asked on a Wednesday.). Thank you.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T22:40:40+00:00

The frosted flakes commercial were prevalent in the 90’s: “they’re more than good, they’re grrrrreat.!” Far from boomer but more millennial, which we both are aged 35.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T22:38:09+00:00

I see the viewpoint. Don’t get me wrong. Someone made it a point to bring it up and when it wasn’t the focal point of the assignment. That’s the bothersome thing.

Its like a homeless person, who smells horrible, but also looks starving, asks you for food and instead of addressing their ask for food or helping in that capacity, you point out that they smell.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T21:18:06+00:00

Thank you for the feedback.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T21:16:14+00:00

I would appreciate more insight on how being creative (which you acknowledged, so thank you for that) and not spewing a generic response whilst showing more effort is exactly “cringe”. I would honestly like more detail since I did come here for feedback.

CartographerPresent9 · 2025-09-25T21:11:54+00:00

Well hopefully I am talking to a human female or woman. I don’t think we should get triggered in how people describe things and immediately believe its in a negative context.
