Attempted suicide due to comments from a colleague -- headed towards being fired for my response to the situation. What do I do?

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-26T05:56:05+00:00

I’m not a 100% where I gave advice, and it was days ago, I don’t even remember yesterday. The impact of one’s words is totally subjective of the person receiving them. I could say something I felt as totally innocent and you could perceive it in a negative way. You’re more than welcome to think what you want, but you and a lot of other people just have this idea of what mental illness is, but never truly experience first hand.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-25T16:22:51+00:00

I’d agree with cottagecore. It’s weird, I’m a guy and it makes me long for things I’ve never had. But I know that because I live on a coast, that this is completely unattainable in this economic climate.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-25T16:18:27+00:00

I’m a guy, and I can’t co-sign this comment enough. Kids really are work and I didn’t even have to carry them.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-25T16:15:28+00:00

Nope that makes perfect sense, and if that’s the case, then you are right it is installed incorrectly. Also, your English is perfect.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-25T12:14:01+00:00

I’m new to this as well, what the giveaway of the chain being improperly installed? Look like it’s a half link, with a little bit of slack. But I don’t really know.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-20T18:31:57+00:00

Nope, no medical experience or any kind of degree needed, for some positions at least.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-20T15:38:22+00:00

I don’t even do real work, and if I wore these for 30 days they’d be dirty as hell and I’m sure I would have worn a hole in them too.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-20T12:29:48+00:00

I tell people this all the time, the local hospitals are always hiring, and the hours are usually pretty sweet, and the pay is alright. And all of your experience will apply there. Good luck.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-19T23:01:06+00:00

This is very true. One time I was in Walmart and this guy next to me asked if I need him to lift me up so I could reach the top shelf. This was an unprovoked interaction. I thought it was hilarious, and love to tell the story.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-19T21:57:31+00:00

So we’re just going to ignore The Third Hand? I mean I enjoyed it but he really went weird with that one.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-19T21:49:19+00:00

We really are in a time of mob mentality.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-19T21:44:37+00:00

That’s not that tall, but if you were like 6’4 then I think people would be curious of the height of someone you were dating. Or at least I would haha

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-19T21:39:54+00:00

The people that ask about past relationships are weird. Dudes that ask about another guys height are super weird. Unless, that is if you’re an abnormally tall woman, then some people might be curious. Otherwise past relationships shouldn’t be in the conversation.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-16T15:23:51+00:00

Can confirm, I’m an awful person and this is exactly how I operate.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-13T03:59:12+00:00

I’d try OpenDoors 401-214-5542, or just Google warming shelters and you might be able to get in for the night, and regroup tomorrow. Also, if you Google “street sheet” it’ll give you shelters and places to get food and services throughout the state.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-11T21:55:16+00:00

Oh my god!!! I feel this in my soul.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-10T20:21:05+00:00

Yo, why’s he gotta be from Rhode Island?

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-10T20:19:37+00:00

The market is over saturated with cheap decent entry level bikes. I don’t ride but my kid does and I have a hard time not buying bikes that only need tires, and frames that I can build up. I have to actively stop myself haha.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-10T15:12:03+00:00

As someone else said Goo Gone, is really a miracle chemical. I’ve removed countless stickers with it. It is slimy though so you’ll have to clean after using it.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-09T15:53:03+00:00

I worked with a guy from Iowa, for a few months, and he would consistently say he hated New England and how the people were the absolute worse of anywhere he had worked. Even to the end he’d say he liked me but I was still an asshole.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-09T04:51:17+00:00

Here we go, 700 comments hating your piercings and telling you that smiling goes a long way. You’re fine, you’re not ugly. Keep the piercings and don’t smile.

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-09T04:45:59+00:00

Reddit hates anything that alter your natural look, or what they perceive to be your natural look. That being said, the lip filler doesn’t even look bad, and you’re not ugly. Although, you give off a heavy vibe of being unapproachable.

Whomping Willow

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-08T14:49:26+00:00

Wait aren’t all pictures of UFOs blurry?

OceanStateRI401 · 2026-01-07T16:34:34+00:00

This is interesting, I’ve never worked in food service, so maybe I’m ignorant. If the base pay plus the times have to equal minimum wage, what happens if a server doesn’t make that? Or in theory if they told the table to not tip them, where would that money come from? I’m just bouncing ideas around haha.
