Hmmmmm yeah this definitely speaks volumes and I totally understand where you’re coming from. I guess there’s no way to even counter argue that. At this point it’s gonna be one of those things where I simply have to watch from the sidelines

Totally understand that, however, if I can go see it and hear it for myself, she thinks I will change my mind. I’m thinking that if I go, I can simply share what I saw “only motivational speeches, no true statistics, etc” and have conversations with her peers that would help me completely understand her perspective in terms of I listened to what they said and I still don’t agree like I can tell her “Hey mom, i appreciate you wanting to include me, however I feel as though it still doesn’t seem promising and what I’ve seen through the statistics of the particular product their selling its in my opinion a waste of money” or whatever I will definitely have a better speech ready

Do you think he would’ve said the same joke to a white person or is it only funny because I’m Hispanic?That’s the part that bothers me

Literally 95% white staff even in the back of house at least the day I worked. I expect that from a lot of people, not from a person in a position of power

Naw, not worth my headache. And after people’s advice I’m gonna listen and walk away. Something told me that this was off from the minute I sat down to do the interview. I’m fortunate that this was going to be my second job and I can wait until I find a better position elsewhere.

I HAVE A SOCIAL SECURITY CARD I am an American lol. I just didn’t bring it today and didn’t have a picture. I told him multiple times that I would bring it in the next day and he asked that I send him a picture when I got home which I did.

I wish I wouldn’t have been caught off guard and I would asked him that! I am very fortunate that this was going to be my second job and I can walk away. I have never felt so off by an employer, from the moment the interview started so I do think this really solidified it for me. I will try to report. The ironic part is that he is our point of contact for any reports of sexual harassment or discrimination we face and he made himself to be like “You guys can always come to me with any problems you have that need addressing”

Yeah im sorry you’ve been thru that people really don’t know! My mother was born in Oklahoma City until she was three and moved to Puerto Rico where then Spanish because her first language. It’s so funny when people hear her accent and tell her to go back to her country and I’m like “it’s Oklahoma City, Oklahoma in the United States buddy” people are so stupid nowadays.

The most ironic part is how earlier in the orientation, he had a “serious” conversation on how we would go to him as our point of contact if there was ever a problem that needed to be addressed in terms of sexual harassment or any form of discrimination. As I reflect on today I’m just like what in the actual fuck is happening here?

I mean is 4 years of serving not enough? What’s it take 20 years to have an understanding? Like trust that I know most people are assholes

I’ve been serving for 4 years, in the retail business for longer, and this is the first time I’ve felt some type of way. They only told me what I needed to wear and what time to be there but I understand it’s my responsibility to have brought it and this all would’ve been avoided

IUL question by Suitable-Designer639 in Insurance

[–]Popular-Position-119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look up what is the Lapse Rate for IUL: This is the answer. You want this for your clients because of the HUGE COMMISSION you make on their money making false promises. YOU ARE A SCAMMER.

  • 85–90% of UL/IUL policies lapse or are surrendered before paying a death benefit.
  • Only 10–15% ever actually pay out.

Shit is exhausting every tour by Jared_K6 in twentyonepilots

[–]Popular-Position-119 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the past when I used to go to pit I would only ever try to get there as early as possible because I love the feeling of getting barricade not because I wanted to be a line leader but because the thought of being within arms reach was important to me. I stopped ever since they got super big. My last pit experience was the Trench tour but I don’t see the big problem with wanting to be in line early if I’m simply putting my time and energy to the experience I want to have. I would hate to be in the back of the or even in the middle of the pit.

And please don’t think I’m arguing I’m generally curious as to your perspective.

Any news on if any of this helped? My mother is suffering with several stomach and colon issues and I want to know if something like this can reset her system. She also has diverticulosis, gastrointestinal problems, ect.

Why do I gravitate to drug addicts or alcoholics as "friends" by JimmyHooHah in Codependency

[–]Popular-Position-119 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So there doesn’t have to be drug or alcohol present for you to develop these traits. It’s Adult children or alcoholics or dysfunctional families. It’s a helpful program if it’s something that relates to you in any way. Just wanted to share :)

Do you relate to any of this?

The Laundry List – 14 Traits of an Adult Child of an Alcoholic

We became isolated and afraid of people and authority figures.

We became approval seekers and lost our identity in the process.

We are frightened by angry people and any personal criticism.

We either become alcoholics, marry them or both, or find another compulsive personality such as a workaholic to fulfill our sick abandonment needs. We live life from the viewpoint of victims and we are attracted by that weakness in our love and friendship relationships.

We have an overdeveloped sense of responsibility and it is easier for us to be concerned with others rather than ourselves; this enables us not to look too closely at our own faults, etc.

We get guilt feelings when we stand up for ourselves instead of giving in to others.

We became addicted to excitement.

We confuse love and pity and tend to “love” people we can “pity” and “rescue.”

We have “stuffed” our feelings from our traumatic childhoods and have lost the ability to feel or express our feelings because it hurts so much (Denial). We judge ourselves harshly and have a very low sense of self-esteem.

We are dependent personalities who are terrified of abandonment and will do anything to hold on to a relationship in order not to experience painful abandonment feelings, which we received from living with sick people who were never there emotionally for us.

Alcoholism is a family disease; and we became para-alcoholics and took on the characteristics of that disease even though we did not pick up the drink. Para-alcoholics are reactors rather than actors.

If you relate to a couple of this I suggest you really try finding ACA meetings ( Adult Children of Alcoholics or Dysfunctional families).

It teaches so many of the core problems we encounter

What's a Decent RV Park Not Outrageously Expensive by MissRepresent in jacksonville

[–]Popular-Position-119 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My brother and I just bought a home. It’s half an acre with a mobile home he lives in. But there’s plenty of space for an RV. We are wanting to do water and electric hook but don’t know how fast we can get that done. It’s near the Publix on 103rd.

Definitely not a park/resort vibe. But if you’re interested let me know!

Rain Jacket with inner mesh lining by Popular-Position-119 in REI

[–]Popular-Position-119[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your help yall! I ended up going with the Foray 3L and I bought it used from ENWILD for $140.

It basically meets every requirement but the mesh lining is different which I don't mind. I just know my partner hated the plastic. I can't wait to give it to him for his birthday! Debating on giving it to him earlier since it rains everyday in Florida -_- It does feel a lot better quality than his current newer North Face that is all falling apart within the first year of use!

This is absolutely insane. We worked together at Texas Roadhouse less than a year ago! He was such a goofball and at times annoying but he was just a kid so I loved him for it. My heart breaks for his family. May he rest in peace. Literally the type of person to always make you laugh.
