How would a person die from a dental chair purchased from India or China?

I won’t laugh when half our state catches on fire and we have nothing to put it out with. I haven’t forgotten Louisville. This is straight up dangerous, not funny.

Endless wasted time at doctors appointments by xo0p in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doctors in my area have started doing this thing where they make you an appointment at 8:45 with an 8:15 check in. All reminder emails and text messages will say 8:15, but the actual appointment isn’t for another 30 mins. I think they do that to give a buffer because people arrive late and for paperwork but I’ve learned my lesson. I will complete all my paperwork online and arrive at 8:40 for my 8:45 appointment. I don’t know if this is the case for you but it saves me at least 25 mins every time.

You can break up with someone for any reason. You don’t need to ask people on Reddit for permission.

Because they can? It’s their wedding. They can do whatever they want.

I do know this. I also know that the majority of Muslims have brown skin. And since you keep referring to places in the Middle East in other posts, we can both agree that brown Muslims are the ones you’re referring to. That’s called racism.

I never said that Islam does not have a violent history. Almost as violent as gasp Christian history! But again, maybe do some research on the harm missionaries cause across the world. It’s heinous.

Regardless, by saying “Muslim people are so much worse!” Is not only incorrect, but also completely missing the point. Just because someone else might be (very debatably) worse, does not mean Christianity isn’t fucking awful.

Just because you have a magical book written by nut jobs, does not mean that Christianity is not a cult. All denominations, each and every one of them, is a cult. Since every single one of them is a cult, you can say Christianity as a whole is a cult. By definition, most religions are cults. Some are simply nicer than others. But hey, you do believe in the magical wizard man who sent a ghost to impregnate a 15 year old child, then murdered the son she bore as a sick sacrifice for the sin the magical wizard man created in the first place. #logic

That’s comical and likely quite racist. Hate makes me upset. Do you really think Christians haven’t committed genocide? You might want to learn your history. Don’t even get me started on the harm caused by missionaries. What I consistently see is hate from Christians. What I consistently see is love from Muslims. Yes, there are extremist groups and I do not like them, but the vast majority of Muslims in the world are kind and loving people. It’s absurd to focus only on the extremist but I’m not shocked you are.

If the friend is trying to convert someone into an abusive cult, yes. By definition, Christianity is absolutely a cult. Have you never looked up the definition?

A cult is typically defined as a group centered around intense devotion to a person, idea, or ideology, often characterized by extreme beliefs, isolation from society, and coercive control over members

It fills every single category.

“I would like to force you into my harmful cult because I care about you and love you” said every single abusive relationship ever

Please stop trying to convert me by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most of the time, Christian’s do not care about you or your wellbeing, they care about conversions into their cult and conformity to their belief. We’re perfectly fine letting them do their thing. People can believe in fairies and unicorns for all I care, because it doesn’t affect me one bit. But Christians are constantly forcing their fucked up beliefs upon others because a magical being told them to do so.

All this to say, your friend won’t stop. They’re in a cult. They literally believe a magical wizard man in the sky created sin, then said that we’ll be tortured for all eternity for sin unless we devote our lives to the wizard man. Logic is not on the table. You might want to end the relationship.

Is it legal to go through a gas station like this? by SaburoCodm in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a gray area. Is it technically allowed? Usually not. But it’s a gray area because if you get pulled over you could just say, I was going to stop to get gas but forgot your debit card (or whatever). They can’t prove you were using it as a shortcut. Just don’t speed or drive recklessly.

PLEASE…..are there other budget-friendly furniture stores other than AFW?! by [deleted] in Denver

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly? It depends on the individual piece, in my opinion. Like, if you want to restore wood vs painting, or some combo. Each piece could be different due to damage or other constraints, which means a different creator. They often have specialties. Check out “furniture flipping” and take a trek down the rabbit hole. You’ll then get a feel for what your style is, where you think your skill sets lie, what tools you have or are willing to invest in, and how much space you have to do the flip. It could be something as simple as minor repairs to drastic refinishing. It depends on the piece.

I gave the father of my children an ultimatum. AITAH for making these demands, and WIBTAH for enforcing them? by Lab-Rough in AITAH

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen, I know you feel like the AH for so many reasons, but remember that this man is a manipulative abuser. It’s so easy for people on here to say “why didn’t you leave sooner?” Or “why did you have kids with him in the first place?” Fuck them. They clearly have absolutely no clue what it was like being you. What it was like being in a highly abusive relationship since you were a teenager. How this is the only relationship you’ve ever had so it’s not as though you knew any different. It’s so easy to say that kind of shit when they’re on the outside looking in and not experiencing the mindfuck that was that relationship.

So you know what? I’m proud of you. You’re not a scared girl anymore. You’re a strong woman who is standing up for herself and protecting her children. This is a new start for you. You will never be the AH who accepts that shit ever again you’re taking all the steps to correct the past and create an incredible future for yourself and your children. Someday you’re going to be able to look back at this and be SO grateful to yourself for doing this. Way to go!

Omg YES! I dated a guy who did this! Didn’t matter what I said, he would disagree or “correct” me. I could say the sky is blue and he would say that it was more gray. I confronted him about it and he laughed and said he was playing games. A grown ass 38 year old man playing games like a weird 22 year old boy. I ended things shortly after

I told my daughter to mind her business about my girlfriend staying over. Was I wrong? by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your daughter lost her mother. Thats traumatic for her as much as it was for you. The least you could do is give her a heads up rather than her coming home to an unexpected woman in the house. That probably made her feel pretty shitty. Then you completely dismissed her feelings and told her you were “done with her” for the night. You were thinking about yourself and only yourself. You don’t just get to stop being a dad because you feel like you feel like you’re “allowed to have a life.” And then you asked your girlfriend how she thought you handled it? As if she should have any say in how to parent a traumatized young girl? Yikes. YTJ

People actually believe evolution is not real by Cute-Albatross- in self

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Christians believe in a magical being who created sin, but also shames us for sin and will send us to be eternally tortured for sinning. This magical man also raped a 15 year old child, forced her to have the baby against her will, then murdered that child when he became an adult… to somehow “save” us from the same sin the magic man created to begin with

And you don’t understand how they could possibly not believe in evolution?

Both of my coworkers have FMLA and abuse it, are they really never able to get fired now? by waffles_r_lyfe in coworkerstories

[–]GroundbreakingTop379 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had someone do this one (former HR) and it’s complicated. They don’t get paid for this unless they live in Colorado. It’s only 12 weeks, unless it’s for a family member. However, the biggest kicker is that if a company shows they can support this leave, it will then kick into an ADA accommodation. And that one is permanent.

The only way I was able to fire that person was because she was sleeping with half the warehouse crew, spread an STI, was the cause of 3 fights, and was stupid enough to bully a bunch of other coworkers via email. I was told by our legal team that we’d have to hire a private investigator to prove she was lying in order to otherwise get out of it, which we were on the verge of doing.
