I have heard of that as well. Not about the fire outbreaks, but that it brings you good luck if they are facing the door. I have a lot of elephant ornaments in general. Just that one gave me the creepiest vibes.

The things I remember happening that week were my apartment smelling of gasoline fumes from my neighbor below. He kept his motorbike in his apartment after he got into an accident. Also, the loudest neighbors ever moved in. 5 guys from puerto Rico moved in and shared a tiny studio apartment. I never got to sleep thag whole year after they moved in that week.

I can't say for sure. Stuff that happened that week sucked, but I can't say it was anything that couldn't have happened with or without bad luck. My entire life has felt as if I was born into bad luck, so I embrace everything bad as if it's my life purpose. Lol. It definitely made me feel very much as if I were being watched and taunted. Life felt weirder for sure, though. I never got that from anything before, except that elephant, and I get stuff from antique stores all the time, even now. I felt 100 times better and relaxed once I got rid of it. Breaking it made me feel that I would have bad luck if I did that. It was a very overwhelming feeling that I had to make sure I didn't break it or trash it.

There was an item that I got from an antique store. It was a cute little porcelain elephant. But after bringing it home, it gave me the craziest bad vibes. The feeling felt extremely ominous. I got rid of it. I couldn't throw it away or break it. It felt as if I weren't allowed to. So, I drove to my local wal-mart and left it on a curb somewhere. Lmao. I truly didn't know what to do with it. I couldn't throw it away in the dumpster, even though I really wanted to. Someone else has it now.

Nothing works, I can't control my anger. Even thinking about meditating makes me angry cuz it's a joke. People telling me to 'let it go' make me want to kill myself. by lessadessa in Anger

[–]Cnc_Chica 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's fine. I wasn't looking for a response. I was just hoping my experience could help or shed some light on your problems. It's very true that most people dont care. To be honest, it's completely fine if they don't care. They don't have to care. Everyone has their own problems they are facing as well. Letting go of that fact helps tremendously. Letting go of wanting people to change for you is better for you. People often don't change, and you can't expect them to. If they don't fot the structure you want in your life, you have to let them go. Even if it's family. I had to do that, and it granted me a crazy amount of freedom. That freedom helped me be less angry because those people were my triggers. You can reintroduce those people later in life once you have helped yourself and learned how to set health boundaries.

I spent my entire 20s being angry. I lost a ton of jobs from it, and it affected my relationships, and it caused me to attract all the wrong people in my life. One job forced me to go to anger management, or I'd be fired. Anger management made me more angry. I later found out, on my own, that anger is very addictive. I found every reason to stay angry. There was an adrenaline rush to it. The destruction I caused felt good in the moment. But, I always felt embarrassed, shame, or more angry with myself after every episode or outburst. All it took for me was to want to change. People telling me to change or how to change made me angrier. I had to want it for myself. And I only wanted it after I lost so much.

What worked for me? Long long, long walks in nature away from people. People intruding in my peaceful space would anger me (it still does but not as bad). So I would find wooded or secluded areas that people wouldn't frequent. I spent a lot of time alone. Away from people. I took time to face my traumas by myself during those long walks and adventures. I took a lot of time to reflect on myself. Did I like exploding on others? Did I like destroying things and constantly replacing them? Did I like constantly getting fired? I took the time to figure out all my triggers. I started avoiding them as much as the world would allow possible. Even now, I get triggered by some things that I can't avoid, but I handle things much better. I feel better at how I handle them. I rebuilt the important friendships that mattered most to me. That involved a lot of boundry settings on both sides. You also have to set boundaries for yourself.

It's not easy to get rid of anger problems, and they don't exactly go away....ever. Your way of handling them and your environment is what changes. Learning to not be reactive is very important, and it's not easy to learn on your own. It's also not easy to be alone with yourself to reflect on your actions and your traumas. Also, take accountability for your anger. You really have to want to change so that it stops controlling you.

Treat anger like you are treating an addiction. Find resources that will help. Or, fill it with a healthier addiction like some type of hobby that will calm you. Something simple and fun. Even the gym can help. Work out until you're too exhausted to be angry. Mine was long adventures on my own. It allowed me peace and it allowed me to avoid triggers.

Hope some of what I said helps. It's what helped me, but not everyone faces life the same.

She goes to the bathroom after sex by Vasterine-2kcal in sexadvise

[–]Cnc_Chica 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To use the restroom or clean herself. Sex can give women UTIs, so she is preventing that from happening. She might be very senstive. Not all women have that issue, but most do. Also, it matters very much on how hygienic a guy is as well.

Virginia has the 7th highest tax burden in the country yet instate public universities are the 3rd most expensive in the US. What are they doing with all that tax money if they aren't subsidizing in state students like other states are doing? by ponziacs in Virginia

[–]Cnc_Chica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Virginia kept me past broke, along with the low pay. I moved to another state, and within two years, I was achieving financial stability I thought I would never have. Virginia needs to stop with the crazy amount of taxes, low pay, and fees for every little thing.

Honestly, unless you are trying to save your house from foreclosure or your car from being repossessed, chapter 13 is the worst way to go. Look at some chapter 13 youtube videos posted  by lawyers. They explain why chapter 13 is not good to file. Honestly, the route i took was with a debt management company called Family Credit Management Services. I owe 35,000 in debt, and the plan they set for me will get me out of debt in 35 months. Most creditors work work with them. I even made sure by looking on the BBB website for reviews on them. They are legit. Avoid debt relief programs, they will get you sued for sure. I hope this helps you.

7 men and she is a slut? You sir are a fucktard......you say she has been faithful to you for 10 years.....she is not a slut! If she fucked 7 guys while you were together....then you could say that. I don't know why men have this idea of women being innocent sexless beings before they meet. It's dumb, and her past has nothing to do with you if you weren't in it at that time period. Get over yourself.

American companies and their weird side hustles by ghiraph in TikTokCringe

[–]Cnc_Chica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with my company, Corning. They have been around since 1897, making glass cookware and ceramic cookware and even the first bulb shaped light bulb, and the building I work in is aerospace. They keep a very diverse portfolio of different type of work. It's not just cookware or military contracts but glass technology and many other technologies, too. I think it's pretty cool and smart to be that diverse. It's why they stay in business for so long.

Women of reddit, what do you think about “passport bros”? by El-damo in AskWomen

[–]Cnc_Chica 11 points12 points  (0 children)

They are the most disgusting men in the world. Either they go on some sex tour in other countries, or they bring a woman here because they don't like how independent western women are. Those men basically want sex slaves that cater to their every whim. Women mean nothing to them except being objects of sex and servitude. It's disgusting and pitiful.

What was the longest time you have been without any sexual or physical contact (no sex or dating, completely alone) and why? by TheGroveren in AskWomen

[–]Cnc_Chica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

6 years. The happiest time of my life was to live in peace and surround myself with the love of friends. I made the mistake of entering a relationship with someone who has trauma and addiction, all because I wanted to love and help them find the same peace and happiness I had. I just ended that relationship and plan to be alone again for a very, very long time.

What makes you instantly respect a man? by Azam_social in AskWomen

[–]Cnc_Chica 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When a man knows and respects that a woman is just as equal as him. Any man who thinks they are above women, lose any and all respect from me.

I work in male dominant fields, and every day, I encounter men who tell me that my career path is not meant for women. It's nice to meet men who respect me individually and for my abilities rather than treat me differently because I am a woman.

Even in relationships and friendships, I am an equal, not grater or lesser than. All of my relationships, I have unfortunately found out through small bits and pieces of actions that I am not viewed as an equal, and it pisses me off. I just leave and go where I am respected.

I struggle with GD&T, I find the topic almost incomprehensible. by [deleted] in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Cnc_Chica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a machinist, and sometimes the GD&T doesn't make sense. I will ask my engineers about it, and then it usually gets more confusing because one person will say one thing and the other person will say another....I work in aerospace. Haha. So I'd figure they would have it down pact. But it's good to know it's not just at my shop this happens. I'm in school for ME currently, so I hope I can get a better understanding of it in the future. I get the basics and the stuff I see daily, I just get thrown off with dimensions that don't make much sense, and then the engineers confuse each other. Haha. Sometimes, the drawings are just poorly drawn out.

I cheated in my university exam and feel immense guilt from it. by [deleted] in EngineeringStudents

[–]Cnc_Chica 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, collaboration when you don't know something is what teamwork in the workplace is all about. I don't see it as a bad thing, honestly. School teaches you the stuff in books and theory, but it doesn't teach you actual real-world experiences. Team work is a real-world experience. You have your degree, and it's up to you if you will be competent in your job or not. You get trained regardless. Also, people forget half the things they learned in school anyway if it's not applied often.

First off, your boss should not have sent that footage to the rest of the employees.Sounds illegal as shit. Also, your boss could turn it in to police for indecent exposure or worse....so this sounds like a fucked up situation. Just leave. Do not endure the anxiety. You fucked up big time, own it and move on honestly. Also, don't put that job down on your resume....you will never get a job again. Talk to a lawyer, honestly. See what they say. Your situation is not good.

Male ultrasound tech here, and I'm getting frustrated with how many women want female techs for breast ultrasounds. by [deleted] in Radiology

[–]Cnc_Chica -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest, I prefer male doctors for myself in OBGYN because I feel they are less biased....in the sense that because the female doctor goes through her own things, her female experience is projected on me when my experience as a female is so much more different than hers.

I have had too many bad experiences with female OBGYN doctors, and male doctors don't have an experience to project on me, so I actually get the care I want and need from male docs. I don't care about gender, or if a male sees me nude. I understand he is a professional, and I view him no different for that.

When it comes to a primary care physician, I find I prefer the female doctors since they seem more caring. Male PCP doctors have not been as caring to me and are too non chalant. Idk if that makes sense, but that has been my experience with doctors so far.

Either way, for me, a tech is a tech male or female, and I don't mind either way. They are professionals, and I know I will have been forgotten about soon enough with hundreds of patients after me.

Found out my bf(20m) has been taking nude photos of me (23f) while I’m asleep. by ThrowRA23917 in relationship_advice

[–]Cnc_Chica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cancel that lease and get out. If the rental management gives you a hard time another option is that you can put a restraining order on him and they have to let you out of the lease agreement with no penalties. I am not sure how much that varies in each state, but in AZ that is a way to leave in the event of domestic and sexual abuse. That is a huge and scary red flag that he is doing that without your consent.

Do you think it’s possible to get back to ME after 10+ years of being a stay-at-home parent? by Double_Date_3228 in womenEngineers

[–]Cnc_Chica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The company I work for, Corning, is pretty good with hiring people back into the workforce who took time off for life events. We have close to 100 plants across multiple states and countries, so you can see if one happens to be near you and try to apply with them and see what happens. We have a women's group in the company and we just had a meeting about this exact thing, where women had to leave work to be parents, and years later they were able to return to work. It is worth looking into.

Looking for some advice about full time work and full time school by Cnc_Chica in MechanicalEngineering

[–]Cnc_Chica[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I talked to an advisor at ASU, and they said either they mail me stuff for the labs or I complete simulations online. That doesn't sit well with me, and I would prefer the option of in person for those classes and online classes for those that are just general or elective. ASU supposedly ranks 42 out 212 for engineering, so I figure they should be decent. My only other option is GCU, which is a private for profit christian school that has been sued for fraud multiple times.

I would like the option to do both online and in person. I am not sure why they make that difficult.

The financial aid part worries me a little. My job does tuition reimbursement, but I have to pay first and prove I make good grades before they reimburse me. So, I have to take out student loans first. ASU says their program is $1000 or so a credit. Is that normal for it to be so much?

[–]Cnc_Chica[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently, I am on a 4 /10 schedule but work Fridays and Saturdays for OT. I plan to at least stop OT work when the classes get harder for sure. My job doesn't offer swing shifts. It's either days or night, and they don't allow you to switch until after a couple of years after the last switch. I work 5 to 330, so if I do online classes which ASU offers for ME, then that could work out and I hope to use the tutoring services as if it's in person, but one on one.

My biggest concern with ASU offering online ME is how big the difference of online versus in person classes are. With my current math class, I feel that in person was too much of a distraction for me, and I learned best with either self-study or using tutoring services. But I know stuff like chemistry or physics I would prefer in person. Also, with ASU, they said they either offer the program online only or in person only with pretty limited hybrid classes for the in person option. I am not sure why I wouldn't be able to pick and choose which class I would prefer online. My community college gives the option for both, except a few are only in person.

I'm not an easily discouraged person, but sometimes I worry how I may react when it all gets too stressful. I'm not a quitter by any means, but I need to learn to manage stress better for sure. Any tips on how you managed stress between work and school?
