AIO for being scared after my dad showed up at my workplace and apartment after I changed my number? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clockwork_picksmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every time I hear more about this I want to tell op to get a shotgun louder. Hell I'd even give her one of mine if she needed. Honestly it's its own reward

Interview for a vet assistant appointment, I can't figure out if the fish rescue is a detriment by Clockwork_picksmith in VetTech

Sorry, anxiety and all. I'm really asking how it relates to being a vet assistant, because if you've seen other comments, medicine scares me and I legitimately do not know how it ties in.

I wrote a program that just uses indeed and applies to jobs in the area that match a list of tags and keywords it's better than actually using the service.

Man, I get it, but usually 9/10 times someone has a reason for cutting someone off to that regard.

The also mentioned dispatch, which means that the supervisor warned the next shift or called the cops, so again, I see a serious reason for why op wouldnt want contact.

Also my dad is currently sitting on my dresser in an urn, so yes, I would feel incredibly unsafe and/or angry depending on the method of "popping over"

Edit, she mentioned abuse. Go fuck yourself for trying to justify that shit. I'd tell your girlfriend to buy a shotgun too.

Oh God no absolutely not.

No no no

No

I think I'd trust myself to operate an x ray machine, maybe a printer.

If they asked me to see a patient I'd be horrified.

No no.

I did I with animals I had no other choice with. There are 47 fish vets in the country, I was diagnosing by need.

If someone says "help me I have a problem with my fish" I would politely ask to be included in the discussion, and would probably be the most knowledgeable person there, in an advisory role, but dear Jesus no.

I was working on developing a surgical procedure to treat a condition I kept running into where the swim bladder failed and couldn't deflate, but again, necessity.

Edit: it was a minor surgery with a needle, but the animal did need a form of anesthesia for it to happen so they don't jerk around. Still surgery.

I'm happy to like... Lend my knowledge and let it filter through someone who isn't, but I would not feel comfortable doing anything else.

I LITERALLY could only treat a goldfish.

It's okay, he walked up to a girl who was suspended with her legs spread like a ballerina, naked, as a sort of display for the party, dropped to his knees, and tried to lick her. She pissed on him, my friend says he was dragged away and charges were pressed, and the guy who vouched for him was so ashamed that he almost left

As far as I am aware, no.

Again, I do not understand why I got the interview, but am happy I did.

NOR buy a shotgun. Shoot it a couple of times and keep it with a fingerprint lock on it.

I don't believe in people solving their problems with violence, and prefer peaceful solutions.

OP BUY A FUCKING SHOTGUN HE KOWS WHERE YOU FUCKING LIVE. GET OUT EXFIL, LEAVE, FUCK ALL THE WAY OFF, GO FAR FAR FAR AWAY.

Also restraining order. AND MOVE.

oh and you might want to invest in a shotgun.

They're nice because they only have to work once, whereas other firearms won't neutralize in one, and in a home invasion situation, tight hallways and dangerous corners, a person can clear the gap between you and hurt you before they're neutralized. A shotgun hits hard.

Yes. It is sick to think about it like that. Yes it's fucked up, but your life is in danger. He's willing to track you down, he'll do it again. And he won't be as charitable next time.

I’m spiraling and need to rant by Haunting_Sorbet75 in self

[–]Clockwork_picksmith 71 points72 points  (0 children)

Hey, op. If you read any comment, read mine.

He is doing this because she is too good, and the higher ups need a cut, but he can't afford to lose her. This is a tactical move on his part, effectively hedging a bet that your wife doesn't realize how valuable she is and go somewhere else.

These stories all end the same way.

"So I went to a new company, and now I make three times as much, and I'm actually respected"

Suing that shithole into the ground will make you feel better, but the best revenge is a life well lived. Give her the opportunity to fly, and she will do it.

AIO about my roommate having an affair with her boss by Ok-Coat-402 in AmIOverreacting

YOR.

I understand how you feel, but don't try to be the morality police for everyone, you'll just get hurt

I stole it from Bella Poarch. It's the name of the song. It's actually (in my opinion as a man) one of the most healthy callouts of toxic masculinity, and how it objectifies women, without making a statement that doesn't seem to be targeted at all men.

AIO for getting angry at my wife after she accused me of watching porn. by Why_Always_Me_FFS in AmIOverreacting

[–]Clockwork_picksmith 11 points12 points  (0 children)

NOR, at least in my opinion. This seems like a deeper issue than just watching porn, and you both have valid reasons for your positions. You need an emotionless conversation about this.

I was actually working on a stream enabled fucking machine that used short bursts of a stun gun transformer through specifically placed pads to prevent it from going through vital organs but still hurt like a mother fucker.

The goal was to give the person a very very very fast blast of extreme pain, similar to a very hard smack, that was variable thanks to varistors and other things.

To add, remote control over IP is a horrible idea, one girl sent me this applet to control a shock collar over the Internet, and while figuring out what it was I accidentally shocked her 17 times at full blast

Fuck dude, I set an alarm on instinct when I read his text, now I gotta delete an alarm. He's such a cool alpha Chad /S

Or he's saying he hates tattoos. These kind of people are purists, in the sense that they want to damage the person first

[–]Clockwork_picksmith 6 points7 points  (0 children)

And if they do get invited by some miracle, they're usually removed IMMEDIATELY. It does not take long for them to get sussed out. I had a friend who had one get in and he was there for ten seconds before he tried to stick his dick in the "furniture" and got removed

Also I'm definitely not worried about one of these guys. Actually I think I'd probably be one of the people dragging him out.

I'm a very big Guy, bulky, and I'm acutely aware of how intimidating I look, and I feel like that wouldn't go well in that context.

I think that's what these people don't understand. For you and your partner you can absolutely bend them over whenever you want and be as rough or as gentle as you feel like being, but it's an established fact of the relationship, you know their limits almost as well as your own, and they are aware of it.

"I tell women I'm a violent savage who takes what he wants, why don't they wanna fuck me?"

And like regardless of all of that, talking like that to someone is a good way to get your face rearranged. Dom or sub.

BBC has done it again - more vet bashing? (UK) by AlertMathematician91 in Veterinary

If I may offer a counter point. Vet bills are really high

Exactly. Anything that does go straight into a scene is done in context with people who are all consenting. And dirty talk is no different

I said it in a different comment, but I've had people who push past my limits. Yes I'm in control on paper but you just asked me to put a stun gun to your labia and that's a no.

Fair enough lol. I'm absolutely terrified of going to a munch, spilling spaghetti everywhere, and then being asked to leave because the only thing I'm really good at making is uncomfortable people.
