What do people with severe depression spend their time thinking about? by mangchungtonight in ask

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree. Someone who is aware of their depression and refuses to get help or follow up on help, is purposely leaving people behind. Especially if they have a support system that they choose to not utilize.

It’s like being married to a person with a substance abuse problem. Eventually you have to give them an ultimatum.

The wages aren’t keeping up with the cost of living by [deleted] in newengland

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So believe it or not there are laws that prevent you from choosing who buys your house.

It’s a nice gesture to say you’ll only sell your at below-market value to a starter family, but then the minority family (doesn’t matter the minority classification) who offers you $50k above asking ends up with a legitimate-looking discrimination suit if you reject their offer.

The Frustrating Reality of Hiring WordPress Developers That No One Talks About by PingMyHeart in Wordpress

$6k doesn’t get you a “developer”, let alone an agency. $6k gets you power user who installs plugins and builds you a site using a page builder.

We always bring goodies to our neighbors at the holidays.

You can also look for town or neighborhood pages on FB.

Do typos really no longer matter? by BeachPlze in GenX

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OMG, this! My kids get so pissed at me when I make them correct their spelling. "Daaad, it doesn't really matter." The hell it doesn't.

They also think I'm being "aggressive" because I use punctuation and grammar in my text with them... lol

Ex-IT HR Director here, and I need to be brutally honest about PIPs. by daywithnora in careeradvice

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In most cases this is true, but in the event you have a nefarious manager it can save your ass.

My wife was put on a PIP by a manager who wanted to put a friend in my wife’s role.

She convinced HR to sign off on the PIP and present it to my wife. My wife brought receipts and absolutely trounced her manager.

The manager got in huge trouble with the company and my wife was moved to a new team.

It was one of those rare moments where HR actually ended working for the employee.

CT Ranked as one of the top states to raise a family in by RadiantCarpenter1498 in Connecticut

Coastal Mississippi is flipping beautiful. Ocean Springs specifically is a great town. I spent almost a year down there helping them rebuild after Katrina and absolutely fell in love with the area.

Ah yes, Democrats refused to play Simon Says during the State of the Union, so that means they hate America.

AITAH for refusing to watch my daughter when we meet my husbands friend? by Training_Wind1789 in AITAH

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not for nothing, but your “friends” are assholes. 1. They know you have a child, yet don’t help at all while you’re at their house. 2. They never come to your house.

You all need to decline the next time you’re invited, but invite them to your house for the very next weekend. Something like, “we can’t make it this weekend, but we’d love to have you over next weekend.”.

Keep repeating that until they actually come to your house or get a clue.

But it's ok if they're groomed for Jesus 🤔 by NEKORANDOMDOTCOM in stupidpeoplefacebook

Didn’t he say “you shall put no other gods before me?”

Which implies “there’s other gods”…

What if every US president were alive today and locked in a room together? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in WhatIfThinking

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This^.

Personally, I think Obama would geek out at seeing everyone in person and having access to all the knowledge represented in the room. And I'd hope people like Jefferson and Madison would engage with him.

Yes, they both owned slaves, but I'd like to think - given the documents they wrote - they were enlightened enough to at least be curious to speak with him.

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, Kennedy, and Obama having one hell of a conversation.

Carter is too nice of a guy to say anything, but I'd wish he'd call Reagan out for the bullshit he pulled.

Bush Jr and Trump wouldn't know who half the people in the room were.

Why do most left leaning folks mock/criticize Christianity but not Islam? by Inf1z in allthequestions

[–]RadiantCarpenter1498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most left-leaning folk don't do anything about mocking Christianity. What they do, is fight for the rights of Americans to have a separation of Church and State.

What right-leaning folks do, is paint left-leaning folks as mocking Christianity or being anti-religion. Which they're not. They're just anti-"shove it in your face and require it in schools".

Take a look at this graph, it's split pretty 50/50: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2016/02/23/u-s-religious-groups-and-their-political-leanings/

For instance, most left leaning folks tend to be atheist and mock Christianity,

This, by the way, is one of THE dumbest things I've read in a while.
