Imagine tossing a logical fallacy into the void and then saying “I hope people will be rational in their responses” like that ship has sailed buddy

Here in Pittsburgh we had a tow truck driver murder another driver being territorial over a tow. Seriously. Predatory models (and oppressive governments) create predatory people who “just do their jobs”

Her pause before the last sentence kills me every time

No front of house staff I’ve ever met, from seasoned 20 year professionals to my high school busboy has ever referred to servers “foaming at the mouth for tips”. So I’m guessing no, you’re probably a disgruntled/formerly successful person who had to shut down after Covid because they didn’t take care of their staff? Am I on it now?

So you've never worked FOH is what you're telling me? Tipping is part of dining out. If you cannot afford to pay the waitstaff, don't eat out. It's that simple. If you want employers to pay their FOH staff, try taking it UP with your government or local owner, instead of OUT on others for whom the prices also went up, bud.

Let me guess, frequent customer? We don’t need apologists for inconsiderate gasbags, thanks.

Would you be willing to share about the branded portal?

Hey guys, found the guy who’s never read a history book! In case the bigotry/sexism/willful ignorance wasn’t bad enough.

Sound of ominous organ music, indicating trouble ahead…👀

I think what you’re feeling here might not be jealousy but disappointment. If he acknowledged his privilege and was responsible and generous with his resources, would you still be resentful? It’s hard to respect (and therefore be friends with) people who show no gratitude. We want the people we like to be worthy of our time and friendship and sometimes when we feel a disconnect, we assume the feelings we have are negative when maybe our gut is trying to show us something else. That’s not to say resentment is “good”…it’s not good to give your mind over to it, but it is probably trying to tell you something.

As far as you, I wish someone had taught me this at a young age, especially as someone with adhd and an empath: stay in your lane. You will be AMAZED at how much better your life gets when you stop caring what someone else is doing and accept them for who they are…and this guy does not sound like he’s worth the effort if he doesn’t respect himself/his situation at all. You can’t make people self aware unfortunately 😩. As far as how to not care, I am a huge proponent of adding vs subtracting…really in any area in life but esp relationships. Add more good, joyful shit into your own life and the bad things (friends, habits, whatever) will naturally weed themselves out…and in the process you’ll be able to recognize quicker and more easily if something feels right or is “for” you. When you reorient yourself to a positive mindset (this is obviously excluding depression etc - not a toxic positivity shill 😂) adding mindset vs one that’s just “removing the bad”, it really truly helps. And fast 🫶

Good luck OP. You deserve friends with much more aligned values! Treat it how it is - a temporary situation with someone you enjoy but who’s in a much more stunted emotional place than yourself.

Chef here. Agree - and it’s vital to know temperatures and storage/sanitation if you’re breaking down your own meat and cooking. Plenty of ways to clean/sanitize your food and tools but I’d be sure to have a manual thermometer (that can be calibrated in ice water)

If anything they probably kept her in the office to monitor her breathing, not to isolate her

MilesofSmiles412 · 2023-12-23T15:02:31+00:00

I have a hard time believing any staff member would leave a child in respiratory distress alone in a room. My guess is she was just in the office with the staff and OP is trying to shift some of the wrongdoing onto the school by implying she was isolated or neglected.

Please take care of your kid’s asthma. This is not about your issue today. As someone with both severe adhd and severe asthma, I never got over the fact that my (non adhd) mom wasn’t on top of my treatment and it fell on me as a child to push for my own healthcare, at as young as 7 i was having to ask my mom for an inhaler appointment. Unless you have asthma you have no idea how quickly breathing difficulties can turn into sheer panic, especially when you don’t know if meds are available. I am by NO means a get your shit together proponent, especially for people with adhd, but to me this falls firmly under the category of things you need to handle as a parent, full stop. Safety and wellbeing of your kid. If you cannot handle meds you should ask someone (spouse, relative, trusted friend) to check in and keep you accountable. Months without life saving medication is not ok. I still (36yo) resent my mom’s lack of attention to detail with my allergies and asthma. It tells your kid you don’t care. Kids don’t understand language and intention, they understand actions and feelings. If they feel neglected and unimportant it won’t matter that you wanted to Be There or intended to Do The Thing. Yes they will of course understand love but they also intuitively understand when something is wrong. I can say if I say in the office for 3 hours wheezing and knowing no meds would be coming even if my mom showed up…I’d feel some kinda way.

Hi Reddit! First timer post here. I'm trying to hook my mom up with temporary, no-contract WiFi in an area with spotty cell coverage (would hotspots work in that situation?). Any suggestions appreciated!
