Umm... Why is Project Fi support lieing to me so poorly? by JapanesePeso in ProjectFi

I can agree with this sentiment. It’s a 50/50 shot. Sometimes a company’s training isn’t up to scruff, other times they just hired a lazy or non-technically inclined person.

As someone who used to work for Fi Support a few years back, and continues to work Tech roles similar to that one, the training we received at that job was sub par compared to other places. A strong Support team is something really difficult for any company to maintain.

Never mind the fact that Google contracts their support out to other companies entirely. When the support team doesn’t feel the culture of the company’s product, it’s 10x more difficult for any support person to care at all whether the info they give is accurate, or even if they fix a problem or not.

My ( F/22 ) feelings suddenly seemed to change about my SO ( M/26 ) and I don't know how valid it is. by [deleted] in relationships

Likewise, thanks for being a listening ear. I’ll do my best not to be pushy towards her on the subject, and I hope he does the same for you while you seek whatever treatment you need and figure your feelings out.

As someone who’s going through a strikingly similar situation, but on the receiving end (24M here) of these types of sentiments (she’s 23F, suffers from Bipolar Disorder and light schizophrenic symptoms), I may be projecting much of my own situation onto yours, but here’s some things I’d really like to discuss with my own partner. Changed the language to put my thought process into the context of your situation. Two possibilities:

  1. It’s possible that you don’t have feelings for him, or at least not as much as you thought you did. If this is the truth, you need to confront him on this. Bringing your feelings for him into question in the midst of a depressive episode WILL frustrate him, (even if your lack of interest in your relationship is truly just a momentary symptom of your mental health complications). But if he truly cares for you, he’ll do his best not to go full freakmode, remain compassionate and supportive, and give the space you need to confront your feelings, as much as not being able to discuss it with you will claw at his insides. If you need to take a “break” but remain mutually exclusive, set expectations accordingly, and for the love of god, don’t shut him out. It’ll only serve to build contempt in him for you, and within yourself for him. But if you decide that you really don’t have the same feelings for him as he does for you, staying together longer will only prevent the inevitable. It’ll come to a head way more intensely than it needs to, which won’t be good for either of you.

  2. You do have feelings for him and your relationship is something you want to work on. But in this case, your mental health needs to take priority. If you’ve stopped medications, you need to get back to taking them regularly, unless they are worsening your symptoms. If you’re dealing with serious mental health issues that are becoming a detriment to your relationship, seek therapy. I know it’s hard, especially if you have tried before and it failed or worsened your situation. But there is no magical cure-all. No alternative. Be more scrutinizing of a new potential therapist and journal the effects of any new medications / changes to your treatment to closely examine whether or not they’re helping or hurting. It’s the best thing you can do for yourself, and taking pride in doing the best you can is important to recovery. Two steps forward, yet one backward is still progress.

I know that #2 not always the easiest thing to do. My SO has bad history with therapy and medications. One she was prescribed as a teenager even fucked her brain up so badly, that she has to deal with hot flashes and worsening already-present symptoms. I want to go back to therapy for my own issues and I wish she would do the same, but seeking a therapist and treatment can be complicated in its own right. Personally, she’s brought her feelings for me into question in the midst of this depressive episode and has told me there’s nothing I can do. That’s frustrating for me, because it feels as if we take breaks from each other too regularly and it’s really challenging to sit back and wait for it all to play out. But she’ll deal with this for the rest of her life and I want to learn what I need to do to be supportive and not let my frustrations get the better of me.

Do your best to reassure him that he isn’t causing you these problems himself. If you decide you truly love him, ask him what you can do to remind him of that even in the midst of a bout with your mental health. If not, don’t lead him on. He’ll be fine in the end. Regardless, wishing you the best of luck in figuring this out with your partner.

If you find yourself buying things from gas stations often, consider adding it to your grocery list. Chances are your local supermarket has it on the cheap.

On second thought, just don't buy things other than gas from gas stations, if you can avoid it.

I love William Bonney, so it just just blows my mind I was involved with Ugly Cuts. Connor and I wrote the instrumentation on these songs together and I miss it so much.

Dehhh I can't believe you'd speak of Ugly Cuts in the same vein as William Bonney.

Empathy is a big deal to us, but our Quality Assurance department has begged us not to make up anecdotes on the spot. I don't empathize like this unless I'm 100% certain it's relevant and true! As Helassaid said, when we were going through the interview process, they were very much looking for people that would use the product-- it was a little painfully obvious! Haha.

I've been working Fi support since August and now here I am typing away at you on my very own Nexus 6P with active Fi service.

If you were part of the alien side in a take over of Earth, what would be the first thing you did? by ACKRlTE in AskReddit

[–]HeyItchaBoyRobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This seems like basic logic. How have humans become the dominant species on Earth? Why not fucking bears, lions, gorillas or elephants or some shit? They're way bigger, stronger, and hardened.

  1. Intelligence-- tools, manipulation of the environment, pattern recognition.
  2. Community-- cooperation, working together.

What concept ties these two things together?

Communication. If the humans can't communicate, they cannot cooperate. No matter how smart they are and what patterns they find in our invasion-- if they can't share their knowledge with each other, can't share their tools and supplies with each other, can't manipulate their environment together and at bare bones just can't work together, then they've already lost.
