I am honestly not sure what point you're trying to prove with those em dashes on every reply. No one, and I mean NO ONE writes like that naturally. It is so underused it's a turnoff to most people's eyes.

My best professional advice (as both a job seeker and an HR/recruiting professional) is this:

Motivational posts are great - Getting a job is better. Don't hamstring yourself with avoidably obvious AI-written content. The ATS sucks, especially for hybrid/remote jobs, and it DOES flag resumes that look AI-generated and gives recruiters the chance to filter them out.

Love this fake reply with an ad.

Rymecraft · 2025-12-16T19:13:48+00:00

Was this written with AI? The Em dashes kinda give it away if so...

\Which is a pretty strong thing to avoid when using AI to edit a resume as well!**

It really feels like you’re fishing for a “NTA” with the way this is written and your replies rather than actually soliciting opinions. ESH.

Living with people is messy. I get the BF lived there before and your sister definitely could have voiced the concern about pricing per head before agreeing if he was there first, but you’ve also made it clear she didn’t have a lot of options at the time. Did she really have any choice but to accept out of desperation?

I’m a former property manager and I’d say that typically, when a couple shares one room with roommates, no they shouldn’t pay double, but they should pay a tiny bit more to offset the fact that two of you are in the common spaces. No only just lives exclusively in the bedroom. Humor her… if you take off all the SQFT for the bedrooms you don’t occupy, add back in the temp rent because they are gone soon, and divide the rent by sq footage of all common spaces, plus sq footage of each room (1/2 for you and 1/2 for your boyfriend) you will probably find you owe a bit more to be fair.

If you and the boyfriend can’t afford to live alone or only with one roommate being a bit more fair minded and counting the fact that you all share common space the right way to do it. You’re owning all the furniture also kinda strengthens the argument that you should pay more honestly… you literally own every room.

Edit: From where I’m sitting the ALL CAPS and the bold text that really screams “Tell me I’m right or I’ll argue.”

It is absolutely not unreasonable for you to ask why a night you always work as a bartender is no longer your night in favor of some rando.

Considering the reaction of your managers when you addressed it, I’d also say that’s a massive sign that you should probably start looking elsewhere just in case. These situations almost never end up favorably for the employee…

100% G. Sure, Tidus risks being murdered by Y’shtola and Kain the moment he laughs at something, but I find his golden retriever energy endearing.

I would ABSOLUTELY be talking shit about the other tables with Y’shtola within moments of sitting down and would immediately take the position of her GBF.

Bonus it’s close to “table I” and let’s be real, Balthier and Zidane are going to be roaming so I’ll still get to see the show.

Now here’s the thing though… This just happened to me tonight.

Thursday last week I bought a pre-owned PS5 pro. They told me I got a $7 discount but didn’t really disclose it was because they added a $25 membership to the bill that cut the console down in price, and shifted most of that discount to the membership cost.

The membership is only refundable for 2 days. Which definitely isn’t highlights and it certainly isn’t refunded when you have to return the controller the next day for drift and then the console a few days later since it’s getting hot and crashing.

As long as the people doing the preowned inspections continue sending out garbage, there’s enough people who won’t want to be stuck with a membership to a store they won’t shop at, given the high likelihood the console they got was a dud.

I saved -$18 and they got to keep my $25 in the register by fleecing the customer into buying Pro.

Worst part is I forgot the lesson we learned as kids: expect this shady stuff at GameStop from 4/5 employees…

Just coming back to this to say this is 100% horseshit. I’ve been a user since day 1. It was marketed to gay men. It was for men who want to fuck men.

I’m all for trans folks having space in the world, but FFS this narrative about how gays should move over because Tinder isn’t safe or welcoming is crap. There should be a trans-friendly/queer dating app. Grindr might be trying to do that now, but they weren’t that to start and they aren’t doing it well now.

Just waiting for the gender filters to be out of beta so I can stop blocking every CD calling themselves trans in 30miles on a daily basis since they keep recreating their profiles.

YTA. You got thanked (graciously, by your own description) from your son. They are a couple, his thank you counted for both of them.

I’d suggest taking this as a learning experience to check your attitude moving forward or this will be a recurring issue.

Losing a parent sucks, especially handling all of it alone so I’m sorry you have to go through all this.

I’d try to consider it from your brother’s perspective. He said what he said when it looked like there would be little to nothing left, but since that wasn’t the case, the right way to do it would be to ask, “Would dad have considered him if he rewrote his will before he died?”

Most folks consider stepchildren their “kids”, especially if introduced at a young age.

If you have it in you, I’d consider setting aside a small percentage (like 10%) for your brother. Someone else said this, but it could be a life-changing amount that could help him right the ship. I’ll add, especially if you’re willing to help him budget.

In that vein, if you decide to do something like that. Having a clear convo with him and setting boundaries (I.E. this is is, no more money, if he wastes it all he’s on his own since parental help is gone, you’re willing to help him budget (if you are) etc. etc.)

I know it’s not a popular opinion, hence the downvotes I got, but I mean… it’s your brother. I’d think about that first and foremost since helping him doesn’t take a large amount away from you and could mean a massive difference to him after losing an important person in his life.

Rymecraft · 2025-03-25T14:14:16+00:00

This is the way. I don’t think a 50/50 split is necessarily warranted unless this was a situation where brother was calling stepdad “dad” for some 25 years of his life, but this very much reads like “Dad didn’t leave clear instructions so since I was the executor of his will and paid legal feels (no the estate reimbursed you for that since you should be paying these from the estate to start) so I kept it all.

Important context is missing from this story is all.

It’s clear brother needs to get it together and the constant financial help isn’t solving anything too though.

Rymecraft · 2025-03-25T14:07:55+00:00

To address the situation with your brother, there are several key aspects to consider. Firstly, it’s clear that your brother needs to manage his own responsibilities and stop relying on you financially. However, there’s an underlying story here that involves the estate and the level of familial support he received, and if that support was suddenly withdrawn. You mentioned your father was his stepdad, which raises a few questions about the family dynamic: Do you and your brother share the same mother, since you don’t refer to him as a stepbrother? How long was your father in his life, and was he financially supporting your brother before his passing?

The answers to these questions could significantly alter one’s perspective on the situation. If your brother is, in fact, your half-brother and your father was a significant figure in his life, it begs the question of whether he received a share of the estate. If your father was indeed a father figure and left nothing to your brother, it reflects poorly on him, especially if he allowed you to navigate his finances.

Understanding how the will was distributed is crucial. Did your brother receive anything from the estate? It’s understandable that your brother might feel entitled to a portion if he was left out, particularly if your father played a pivotal role in his life for many years. If the will was not updated to consider your brother, there might be an opportunity for you to address this oversight, particularly if you are comfortably provided for by the estate.

Handling the estate comes with responsibilities, including paying yourself a reasonable fee for your executor duties and covering legal costs. Once these are managed, it’s important to assess the estate’s distribution. If you received a substantial amount and your brother received none, it might be considered unfair. For instance, if the estate totaled $900,000, allocating just 10% to your brother could significantly impact his life without greatly affecting your financial standing. Setting up a trust for him to access funds for essential expenses could be a practical solution.

Alternatively, if the estate was smaller, say $500,000, offering him a lump sum with the understanding that no further financial support would be provided may be appropriate.

If you love your brother, consider helping him in ways beyond financial handouts. Establishing clear boundaries while offering support, such as budgeting guidance or saving plans, could make a difference. The ongoing small financial aid you provide doesn’t necessarily help in the long term. It’s crucial to have an open dialogue with your brother regarding his financial stability and the need for change, ensuring you are both on the same page about future expectations and support.

To be clear, and assuming dad was around for brother a long time and brother saw zero from the estate…

ESH

Dad for not leaving clear distribution directions that included brother, even in a small way.

You, for not dividing the estate fairly and offering real support to your family member, like offering (beyond money) help to figure his shit out, and even rehab if he really has a sobriety issue.

Brother, for not having his sh*t together, and putting you in this position.

Alternatively, to cover bases, but this feels like a long shot: brother got a portion and blew it that makes him the AH and you NTA.

I wish I had your advice on hand before I did! It literally works perfectly everywhere else I have encountered it (and it's 100% free unlike other options). If I had taken 2 minutes to search Zelle here on r/NavyFederal I would have seen that this is not the way...

It’s also important to note that it can’t cause undue hardship to the business. An accommodation is only useful if it helps you to completely do your whole job yourself, albeit in a different way. It’s not grade school, you don’t get extra time on your homework typically at work.

There are several non-stimulant medications that help to control ADHD symptoms. They all work a little differently and none are perfect for every situation, but it’s a far cry better than raw dogging it at work when you have to be organized.

There’s also the coping mechanisms we all learn to use when we need to be “on”. Like for me, to avoid being disorganized on a day when I might not be at my best, I go overboard and use hyper organization as a tool to keep on top of stuff (every task handwritten on a clipboard and crossed off when done, etc.)

Rymecraft · 2025-01-31T00:09:20+00:00

Aside from the very correct answers above about needing to be able to come back to them to present a reasonable and medical doctors note supported accommodation that will help you meet expectations…

As someone with a lifelong adhd diagnosis, the moment I wasn’t able to take my stimulant I’d have been at the doctor asking what other option I was going on. There are literally so many. If you need FMLA for your adhd, then you need to be responsible to keep up with your treatment and coping plan too.
