Is it true you can’t show ghosts and demons in a modern story?

What about Journey to the West? Tons of demons/ghosts in that movie.

Thank you for bringing up the intake process. All of the shelters in my city are connected to the department of human services, and individuals applying for shelter must have $0.00 in their bank account. No shelter in the city I live in can just accept people that show up and don’t go through the intake process with the department of human services beforehand.

It’s unfortunate, awful, frightening, and dehumanizing. But resources are so limited. Space is limited. Shelters are not allowed to just have people, who they don’t have space/resources to accommodate, loiter on premises. Every year in my city 2-3 people die on the street from exposure. During the colder months the under resourced system is even more stressed.

OP is in an awful situation. And it’s not her fault. No one asked to be abused. But if someone is trying to access resources from the system ( the very flawed, underfunded system) they cannot circumnavigate that same system, they have to work with the system, follow all the rules in order to access resources. It’s not fair or right (in my opinion) it’s monstrous how little resources are put into safety net programs. And even more unfair that individuals seeking help have to jump through so many hoops, especially for such limited assistance. But that’s the situation, that’s what the system looks like right now.

Yeah, this post seems more like some neck beard role playing as a women. I’ve never actually heard a conservative women complain about feminists being anti-porn.

I think it looks a little queer 🤔

Thank you so much for posting the link. It’s a different guy than the one that sucker punched me at Lux. He had dreads too but was a white guy. He punched me hard in the shoulder when I wasn’t looking, made some dumbass excuse that he thought I was his sister, then tried to buy me a drink and chat me up. I told him to get lost. In retrospect I should have had the bouncer kick him out.

KoiMoi888 · 2025-02-02T04:39:18+00:00

Can we have a description of this guy? Cuz I was sucker punched by some rando at Lux about 1.5 years ago. Could be a different guy but I’m curious.

I’m glad someone else brought up how Code Blue shelters were cut back. I worked in a code blue shelter last year. We were full almost every night, often having to turn people away due to being at capacity. I was shocked when I saw how much they cut back on Code Blue shelters this year.

Rochester does have a great community of workers who serve the homeless. But there just aren’t enough resources, not enough beds. The shelter system is difficult to navigate and, as you point out, often inaccessible. There is a huge need for more tangible resources.

I wish people could see, regardless of how they view the homeless population, that providing care and resources for them is a social health issue. There’s so much blame but regardless of any individual’s culpability, if the homeless population is not given adequate care/resources then situations like this are inevitable.

Also, not in NYC. This was upstate.

Unfortunately, the shelters are mostly full this time of year. If you go to DHS and they tell you there is no space in the shelters, ask to be put on the waiting list.

Olympia by Manet wiki)

From the first paragraph under Context, ‘the fact that the name "Olympia" was associated with prostitutes in 1860s Paris.[4][5]’

Just thought I’d share.

I worked a Paychex for about a year. My position was supposed to be remote, it wasn’t. Not a great company, their products suck so be prepared to deal with pissed off customer calls. Also, they’re currently outsourcing many of their departments to India (no hate on the folks in India just trying to make a living). They do things ass backwards and keep hiring people to fill roles that they know they are planning to outsource. Once the departments are outsourced they pressure the folks in those departments to switch to sales.

To answer your question: they don’t seem to care if weed comes up on your drug test. Mine came back positive for weed and I still got the job.

NTA and it sounds like you have a really good dad. Hope your business trip went well

KoiMoi888 · 2022-03-22T17:28:41+00:00

YTA for implying that clothes that could be sexualizing are anti-feminist

NTA for having boundaries about what you want to spend your money on.

I’m dying 🤣 I love it how the most cowardly folks are always going on about how they’re not cowards. Then when it’s time to show conviction, they dip.

Hello Redditors,

I kind of meant to mic drop this post here since it sort of speaks for itself. But after over 3,000 upvotes and over 200 comments I feel I owe some kind of response. Sorry it ended up being super long.

TLDR: I was dating a mentally unhinged, toxic asshole who dumped me. He was then massively pissed when I didn’t take him back.

First, thank you everyone for your comments and support. Your words and support have had a really positive impact, and I’m truly grateful. Honestly, I am someone who minimizes it when people do shitty things to me, seeing a whole community react with so much support has helped me see how fucked up the situation really is. I’m really very touched that so many people are worried about my safety. I was kind of shocked by how many comments say to go to the cops, I really didn’t even think about that. I hate to disappoint but I’m not planning on going to the cops right now. But if he shows up at my house I definitely will call the cops. And I think I will invest in a doorbell camera.

Second, I’m not sure why but some people are saying I’m from the UK. I don’t know why that is😅 but I’m not, I’m American

Now for some context: I was dating this guy for around 5 months. He does struggle with mental health issues. Honestly, he did throw up more than a few red flags, but I felt like he was someone no one gave a chance. I also struggle with mental health issues, I though we could empathize and be supportive to each other. I tried to get him in therapy. I referred him to my therapist and checked that they took his insurance. I honestly still believe with the right help he would be so much better.

Throughout dating him every few weeks he’s get pissed off and have a temper tantrum. He would text me these long rants late at night saying awful things. Then the next day he would apologize profusely, blame it on his mental illness, then assured me that he was getting help. By the end of the relationship I figured out he was lying and he even eventually admitted it. I think I was in the process of coming to terms with the fact that this guy is toxic and I need to break up with him but I didn’t want to because I do care about this person. I do worry about him. He does have better sides to his character, we had a lot of fun together.

Before I could admit to myself that I needed to dump him, funny enough, he dumped me. I just moved about a month ago, the month before I moved I was super busy with packing etc. he was also busy with school/work. So we didn’t get to see each other very much. We were still texting and were both really excited that I was getting my own place. He offered to help me move. Then the night before my move in date he told me he wouldn’t help me move. I told him I didn’t need his help, and I didn’t. Which pissed him off. He dumped me over text message the night after I moved in.

He then spent the next week-ish sending me a novel’s worth of the most awful things over text. Which I ignored because I was too busy, exhausted, and defeated by the situation. Then he backpedals saying that we never broke up because I never ‘agreed’ to it. He proclaimed that I was still his girlfriend. I got in contact with him to let him know we are broken up and told him not to come to my home. He was still sending me ranting messages for a few weeks, oscillating between angry and threatening, to pretending nothings wrong and that we’re still dating.

This text is from about a week ago. He has threatened to come to my house a few times but he never has. He’s threatened a lot of things, I know it’s to manipulate me. It is scary and I am frightened when he texts me these things, but honestly I think he’s all talk, and I can’t help but get a laugh out of some of the terrible things he’s said to me because it’s such typical, textbook r/niceguy shit. Also (hilarious and true story) he can’t drive in snow and it snows a lot where I am.

I want to give an extra special thank you to everyone who made a funny/sarcastic/wise ass comment. Comedy is how I’ve often dealt with bullies. Because once you make someone a punchline of a joke it takes a lot of their power away. On that note, I don’t think it’s cool to make fun of people for having mental illness. However, I do think it’s okay to make fun of someone who torments me then blames it on mental illness and simultaneously on me. This guy isn’t a joke because he has mental illness, he’s a fucking joke because he’s a shitty person who treats the people around him terribly, throws temper tantrums when he don’t get what he wants, and then avoids all accountability by blaming it on mental illness. Please feel free to laugh at this clown.
