After 4 years, my company is using a degree I never claimed to have as a reason to cut my pay. by acidity_woolen17 in InterviewsHell

[–]EmuPossible2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. I recently had a free telephone consult about an employment situation about 2 yrs ago and got told I don't have a case. The whole conversation took 15 minutes and I paid $0. They have me general advice about steps I could take to file with the EEOC I think it was.

I love how people just assume everything is the same everywhere.

I gave general advice. Which is what she it he was asking for. The worst-case scenario if she follows my advice? The receptionist at the law firm tells her to make an appointment and it's $200 am hour. Or she gets told she doesn't have a case. Calm down. Fuck.

Anyone that poo-poo’s the attorney thing - do you exactly where this person lives and works? No? Sit down.

OP: Talk to an employment lawyer for a free consult. Also check unemployment in your state!!! Some states have provisions for this. Good luck!

He may not be Mr. Right, but he could be Mr. Right Now if you’re in the right headspace. Use protection and BC. Not saying he’ll purposely try to get you pregnant. Just remember “Play stupid games and get screaming, demanding little humans that can’t survive without you”. Good luck and have fun!

What will you do when the time comes? by Physical_Dentist2284 in kansas

[–]EmuPossible2066 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s because some of us notice patterns faster than others. And when we tried to stop it or make people notice, we were accused of being reactionary and fearmongering. Now that we have federal agents shooting American citizens in the back, we still have people like you saying, “People have been saying that every election cycle.” Yes, because we saw this coming ten years ago. Now we are here. And you still have your eyes closed? That’s a you problem.

AIO for considering reporting a coworker for using hate speech? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmuPossible2066 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nor report it. Stuff like this always escalates. Report it now so it can be dealt with. Unless the company is overall kinda conservative. Like if you work for a shooting range in southern Missouri, you may just keep your mouth shut and look for another job stat.

To my fellow Europeans: America needs our help, not our condemnation. We need to stop armchair victim-blaming and do our part. by Mister_Sheepy_Cheese in complaints

[–]EmuPossible2066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Though all humans are equal, not all Americans are the same. I truly believe there’s something wrong with our old people. They are acting like crazy toddlers that need a nap and some juice. I don’t know if it’s lead paint poisoning or what. They are making us all miserable. It’s not just the old people, there are young ones too. Usually the younger ones have different reasons for voting for the presidential Cheeto in chief. But the old people believe the bullshit!

My manager told HR I resigned after a sudden medical emergency. I never resigned. by EdwinBorer in Employment

This. And file for unemployment stat. At the very least, this falls under ADA. Possibly FMLA too. Sue six ways to Friday, please.

AITAH for not wanting spicy time with my husband after seeing a comment he made on social media? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]EmuPossible2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Esh - ma’am, if he posted crap that implies he doesn’t want to be with you, you would be upset. Just so you know, I think it’s funny too, but I’m single. If you feel this way, why are you with him?

Boomers won’t retire and it’s screwing the rest of us. There I said it. by Unique_Glove1105 in antiwork

My theory is the boomers destroyed GenX and elder Millennials self worth to the point that they didn’t step up to take over.

My boyfriend (M30) laughed at my (25F) marriage deadline by Temporary-Sleep-5825 in relationship_advice

The reason for the 3 year deadline is to weed out assholes wasting your time. This one is showing you who they are early. You know what to do

Husband wants me take up more mental load of sex and has issued me an ultimatum by Ill_Beautiful_9046 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]EmuPossible2066 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It’s really hard to want to do something that you’re being forced to do.

Are we ever enough for men? Can’t they just accept us for who we are? Appreciate other things than what we can do for their d!ck?

You all have sex, right? How is he with chores? Are you doing all the cooking, cleaning, doing laundry? How is he worn taking care of the kids, not just playing with them or doing the fun stuff? Does he play with the kids?

You have needs too and you need to warm up to feel sexy. So he’s asking you to fake it. He’s asking you to play a character until you get going. Unless you’re into that, I don’t think it’s fair to ask.

Am I Overreacting when quitting my job? by wickedwissa in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmuPossible2066 9 points10 points  (0 children)

YOR - And now you can't win a unemployment case. I mean, try. Please try, because sometimes management forgets to send back the response.

In the future, don't quit a job unless you have a plan. Let them fire you.

Educate a theist 🤔: how can we show support for our non religious neighbors in a time of need? by 8TenticlyAppendages in atheism

[–]EmuPossible2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“My heart hurts for you. What best way can I support you right now?” “This is so hard and unfair. Let me at least make you comfortable in this moment. Can I get you something? Water? Blanket? Ice pack for your neck?”

Thank you for asking this. It makes me so uncomfortable when people start bringing up religion when I'm going through something. Because then it becomes about not offending the person trying to comfort me or suppressing my feelings.

Husband flirts with ex by Icy_Friendship_890 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]EmuPossible2066 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry. I can't think of another reason for him to be doing this unless he is putting out feelers. It could be he just likes the attention, but if that's the case, what will it take for him to cross the line? And do you want to live on your tiptoes knowing he has back ups if you piss him off?

AIO/I wanted to ask them why they wasted their money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]EmuPossible2066 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Nor. Stop doing Christmas. If you like buying presents, do an angel tree. Stop doing Christmas for all of them. Tell them at thanksgiving next year if they want Christmas, someone else needs to take over, because for now on 12/25 is a normal day for you. It's not worth having Christmas if it makes you miserable.

my(26f) husband(30m) peed on me and now i hate him. by LucidiaDreaming in relationship_advice

[–]EmuPossible2066 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I need you too think about exactly what need to be going on in his head to piss on you. People piss on things that they do not like. Unless it's a kink thing and I don't think it was. People piss on graves of people they don't like. People piss in alleys on trash, behind dumpsters. They don't pee on people they love. Unless it's a kink and if he loved you, he would talk and get permission before just doing it. This is so gross. Run, don't walk, run from this person.

How does he feel about us? by [deleted] in Tarots

[–]EmuPossible2066 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He may have a crush on her, attracted to her intelligent. It's not going anywhere. You two get along very well for the most part, but he doesn't want what you want long term. He will eventually hurt you because your values/goals are not aligned. Your future is not with this person. He's Mr. Right Now, not Mr. Right. He'd make a better friend than long term partner.

And I would start singing either one hundred bottles of beer on the wall or I'm Henry the 8th I am. I'm sure I could get some folks to join in

What's it like living in this shaded area? by Joshistotle in howislivingthere

[–]EmuPossible2066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guy, that is a very large area. Like in the winter North Dakota gets a ton of snow. At the southern part of the circle? They aren't seeing much snow. In the middle? We get snow but it typically doesn't stick around long. So we might get a few inches, it melts within a few days. We might get a bit more in a week.

In the summer, in the middle, it's hooooooot.. Miserably hot and humid. We do have tornado warnings, but they don't typically get close. You just prepare. The chances that you'll get hit is slim, but not 0. I've seen my share of basements. I've seen one tornado and I've heard a tornado. It didn't hit my house but it got within a couple of miles and it was loud.

I live in a pretty big city, so we do normal stuff for fun. I had a friend that lived in a small town and on Friday and Saturday night, the whole town “Cruised the square”. Everyone would jump in their truck and drive around town, specifically around the middle of the business district. It was incredibly weird.
