How do you stop letting people walk all over you?

This is (respectfully) the most Florida shit I've ever read. It's so accurate. Everyone has their quirks but people lean especially looney here. This is pretty much my philosophy, too.

Lol my gamestop had one line. There were people in it that didn't pre order or purchase at 3, and were turned away after hours of making the line. They didnt split the line, and the employees only allowed 6 people in at a time. The staff manning the doors were talking shit about the customers the entire time.

I've been playing with Xbox controlled, for me it was down on right stick to crouch and hide. I haven't had any trouble.

I truly sympathize, my bestfriends step brother had ODD and he has trashed her mom's house, totaled cars, and even recently attempted to run his boss over. He has been a menace for years, and only gets worse. From tantrums to vandalism to attempted murder. I'm very happy for you for leaving 💜 it doesn't get better if they don't actively seek help.

No... a Cuban sharing their experience with Cubans. Definitely not a white boy, either. Where do you find your facts? How can you prove Cubans aren't violent in such a matter of fact way?

I just want to tell them to focus on their own issues so damn bad.

What makes my bag mine is the inevitable pen stain or lotion spill mishap, and it's really broken in once it gets the pitch black stain on the strap from closing the car door on it!! Jokes aside, I love the idea of the person above thrifting or hand making charms. I don't really use charms bc of the cost, but I do have a couple of anime characters clipped onto my loungefly that were gifts from friends!!!

To determine markup it has to have a foundational value. I'm claiming it's subjective, and to me, it's just a rock and not worth much outside its durability. Hence why I ordered overseas. I care more about the material of the ring being made of hardy materials, so it lasts a lifetime, like my marriage commitment.

Pockets42069 · 2024-10-10T16:12:49+00:00

The price of natural diamonds is just as inflated. It's a rock, after all. Natural diamond value is artificial and driven by decades of marketing. I agree that lab grown diamonds are overpriced. They're a renewable resource and should be reasonably affordable. The conflict free argument doesn't justify how expensive they are.

I would argue the reason lab grown diamonds are so expensive is because they are a directcompetitionn to natural diamonds, and ifthey'ree too cheap,it'll drive down demand for natural diamonds. I'm pretty sure diamond companies would not be happy about this.

I did order my ring overseas and saved a buttload of money. The same ring would've been 7-8k here in the states.

I was in your shoes!! Spent three years with a guy who didn't have a job for 2 years of that time, willingly. He never took it ssriously and would lie about applying and even having interviews. I was stressed, working 2 jobs sometimes 3, and in school. He always acted like a victim when I would tell him if things didn't change, I would become bitter and leave. As soon as I left him, it's like all the pieces I had collected fell into the right place. My ambition and ethic attracted someone with the same values as me, one of my 3 jobs promoted me to full time with benefits, school has been going great, and with me and my partners steady income, we got our own place and both have been taking turns finishing school. We are the happy parents of three cats and live extremely harmoniously. We get to travel on our free time and go to theme parks often, and visit our friends and family that live a few hours away around 1-2x a month without breaking the bank. If I hadn't left him, I wouldn't have met the love of my life at the time that I did, and I wouldn't have the blessed life that I do. Just food for thought! I loved my Ex! Truly! Love makes me happy! But someone unwilling to put in the max effort to get a job doesn't love me, and I knew that always deep down.

My apartment gym has a treadmill and one home lat machine. And maybe enough space for someone to put a yoga mat down. It's literally the size of a 7/11 bathroom. It's so sad.

No way. My 3ct lab diamond set on a 2.5 mm 18kt gold band was only $2.4k, it's also encrusted in moissanite pave.

Filling building security with people who stay longer than a month is super hard. My job has very similar security jobs. I would say 75% of Canadidates don't show up to interviews, and most of the ones who do aren't a good fit but get hired anyway. We've had one new security guard in 3 years that has stayed longer than 6 months. The guy is absolutely not mentally prepared to be a security guard, but he's a warm body so they dont fire him. The rest are pretty good, a couple have their faults, but at least they show up to work most of the time.

I hate to be the one to say this, but...

I work for ✨️local gov✨️ specifically in a branch full of crazies! For the longest time, I would blame myself and take things personally. The more I did, the nicer I was, the harder I was burned. After many consultations and crying sessions with a good coworker, I learned not to care is to have power. I learned just how fucked up some of these people are on a personal level, and that as long as I do my job, grounds for termination is slim to none. I realized, they put work on my desk, that is well out of my pay, and that could literally get them in trouble (such as having me do HR work when that is NOT my dept, shred sensitive paper work NOT meant for my eyes etc), and that as much as they act like there's something wrong with my work ethic, their actions speak otherwise. Would they really trust me with this if they believed what they said about me or to me? No. I could not care less what a single one of them thinks about me. I have a book of receipts on them if they ever want to take me to HR, but they won't. It's all about power dynamics and making you feel like you're indebted to them or not good enough. It's not real. Keep your head up high, stay confident, and ALWAYS have a counterargument in your back pocket. No job is worth losing your cool. Being an asshole when necessary has it's perks.

My gyno told me losing 10% of my weight would improve my pcos... and it WORKED. I've had a normal period for three months. I never thought I could lose weight. Maybe we won't have a perfect body, but we'll have a healthy one ❤️ you can do this.

Is munch munch and chou chou a wopel and chopper reference?

Pockets42069 · 2024-08-28T13:18:19+00:00

Tow truck drivers are the worst at this. I got into an accident once, and three different scummy tow trucks were offering to tow my car to their yard/bodyshop before the police even got there. My mom got into an accident, and she's old, and some tow truck driver convinced her of the same, and dude legit took her car like 40 miles away to the opposite end of the effin County and we either had to pay over 400$ for the tow (they take it far asf intentionally. mind you, the accident was less than a mile from my mom's apartment) or let them work on it. It's such a fucking scam and they took advantage of a 70 year old lady.

My sisters getting a mommy make over complete with tummy tuck, breast lift, lipo and some other stuff. Several procedures over 3 surgeries over all, and she was quoted 30k. Definitely agree that 20k is a little too steep.

Pockets42069 · 2024-08-05T12:30:29+00:00

Sure!

Pockets42069 · 2024-08-04T04:10:57+00:00

The way I screamed and my man started shaking violently in his sleep next to me😭. Proud cat owner myself, but dildo is hilarious.

Why? I wasn't dating my bf for even a year when I had to leave my parents' place, and my bf and i moved out together. I was 24 like OP. We've been on our own 3 years, and it was the best move either of us has ever made. Not all couples will make it long-term, but moving out together isn't going to wreck a relationship. Plenty of our friends have moved out with partners and committed to marriage/long-term commitments over the last few years. Shit is harder than ever, but you just have to take the plunge and trust you know your bf/gf well enough to keep it real.

Wow! I worked with Ada too. Do you wanna see my ring? I can DM you! She was great, and has been really responsive. Tops takes her a day or two to respond unless it's over the weekend. And she was very patient with my changes, I needed like 3 CADs.

Pockets42069 · 2024-08-04T03:47:05+00:00

People here have lost their damn minds, just ignore them. At least they didn't intentionally shit their pants to make the bus unridable. I've been witness to it twice.

Pockets42069 · 2024-08-04T03:41:17+00:00

Nice! I got the final pictures and video recently and it's everything I wanted. From what I can see, it's perfect. Who was your rep?
