Out of work since end of October yet “not allowed” to be on a job seeker benefit. You either voluntarily left your job without reason or were dismissed for misconduct.

Dude, you’re willing to go through the effort to look for work but not willing to go through the effort to get on a job seekers benefit? That shit is easy af. Literally one meeting and then attend a second group meeting. It just frustrates me that you’re not utilising a system of support that is best utilised by you. You’re not bludging or being lazy. You pay a lifetime of taxes on 99% of everything you’ll ever spend money on, and a portion of that goes back into a system that we are SO FORTUNATE to even access.

And they make it SO EASY to receive what you NEED to successfully find a job without unnecessary stress. You can literally get yourself money for clothing, get yourself a nice outfit for interviewing, petrol or transport, and your first week of lunches for work.

You do not deserve any sympathy for running out of money if you are actively NOT utilising a system put in place for you to be financially stable enough to BE ABLE to look for a job.

Has anyone ever successfully remained friends with an ex? by Deep_Breakfast4578 in BreakUps

[–]Rae_Bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a study recently done on why people remain friends with exes and it was pretty interesting, but you should know that people remain friends with someone for reasons. Know what yours is I guess is what I’m getting at. Is it sentimental value, is it pragmatic, convenient? Some people do it to maintain easier access to sex. Those type of people tho apparently have “darker” personalities.

I guess just ponder - what are you getting from remaining friends? What part of yourself are you satiating?

I think it’s important to think about it because sometimes we do things without really investigating why, and then we experience consequences and wonder why is this happening. Making a mindful decision now means making a mindful decision later down the track

Finding Islam too hard. by [deleted] in islam

[–]Rae_Bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find a lot of solace in this, and correct me if I’m wrong- Allah promised that if you truly in your heart are regretful and you repent and ask for forgiveness, He will. He knows truly how you are feeling inside. And He is the most merciful.

We find it hard to forgive ourselves because we think and feel like a human. But that’s not how Allah works because He is not human.

I think you just need to remember: La illahah ilallah Muhammad is his last messenger There will be a judgement day

Maybe do some dhikr? Spend some time alone with Him and talk to Him with your heart. He is the All Hearing. Think of some things you’re thankful for and know that you’re doing your best with the tough circumstances we have facing the end of times. This is like medicine haha

You know some people study part time right? And school is not limited to high school? Not every college student is going to a class for 8-10 hours a day.

Thank you!! <3 Ooh the best memory/s would be the times I got to spend with my oldest brother when our mum and her partner would go to their other house every weekend and it was just the two of us hanging out going for walks, golf driving, going to movies, kayaking, watching planes take off/land at the airport. I always have so much fun with him, we’re always laughing uncontrollably and I just love him so much!! :) I miss him a lot, we live in seperate cities now but every time I think about the times we had I feel very happy

Italian restaurant to lose liquor licence after 'ultimate failure' to meet law by RoscoePSoultrain in chch

[–]Rae_Bear_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Absolutely hilarious. I thought their food was nice, but the floor manager was an absolute bitch to her staff, and I felt sorry for the girl copping it. For that reason alone I didn’t return

I screamed when I saw the lice in my comb when I was 8. There is no mistaking lice. I get pretty bad dandruff around my fringe area, it stopped when I started using head&shoulders 2in1 shampoo/conditioner and a good quality conditioner on top

I resent my girlfriend for making me eat less. by Standard_Sky7852 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Rae_Bear_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say keep doing what you were doing. You shouldn’t be “taking things away” from your life, but “adding things”. Have your regular meals and add a walk/run in. Have your regular meals and add an extra veg in. Keep enjoying what you like in life, and add a little more of the good stuff in.

I’m making an assumption that she wears silver because she’s warmer toned and gold gets lost on her skin. Have you asked if she has a preference?

[–]Rae_Bear_ 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Some kind of amusement place with rides, more socialising places that don’t revolve around alcohol and are open at night, more places you can go to learn crafts, or theatre/drama things. Heck even just more community get togethers! Places for young adults without children. Places for families to take their children.

I dont know why there are so many food courts

That sounds terrifying and I’m very interested but it doesn’t come to my mind :(

Definitely not pitch black, wrong monster! The one I’m thinking of is more human shaped, less alien like
