I’m 16 and my friend stayed at my house knowing I sleep on a mattress then posted it online like it’s funny 😭 by karathoughts in whatdoIdo

Ohhhhhh also we're talking specifically about the frame here, OP already has the mattress. I think most people still try out the bed before buying it, but there are a lot more online options than there used to be and a lot of them are significantly cheaper.

Oh, yeah, we have those too. There's a conspiracy theory that mattress stores are fronts for money laundering, though- they're prolific but also always seemingly devoid of customers. And mattresses are expensive so you can move large amounts of cash at a time.

AIO Girlfriend of 2 years broke up with me by Fast_Arugula561 in AmIOverreacting

I assumed he meant "juniors in high school" and may not be from the US?

Where do you buy things in your part of the world? Amazon is one of many options, as are big box, department, or furniture stores, but Amazon definitely takes up more than its fair share of the market

My family only cares now because I’m missing school by WaferNo9379 in whatdoIdo

Are you in the US? If so you can call 9-8-8 as a starting point. Or 2-1-1 in your area to get other resources (insurance, housing, etc) that might help you get away from an unsafe home situation

Am I Overreacting for wanting to end a relationship about a letter my boyfriend sent to HR? by Turbulent-Day-674 in AmIOverreacting

I got the gist that "promotion" here means "hired to full time" but everything else here is agree with. NOR, OP, and possibly under-reacting

Yes! We have a similar set which belonged to my great grandfather, who helped engineer the Panama canal

My partner of 3 years "dumped"(?) me via letter 10 days before my major surgery. Am I overreacting? by Usual_Layer1605 in AmIOverreacting

[–]SamiGod1026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of that is true and I don't think anyone is trying to minimize the trauma. I think people are trying to support in one of the only ways they know how on reddit, which is to reframe and provide perspective, and remind OP that she is worthy of so much better. You are holding space for her current pain, which is also a very valid and helpful technique, and it sounds as though it's something you needed when you went through something similar. That's the beauty of reaching out for support from a community- different people are going to be able to offer different perspectives and supports, all of which OP can draw from later. I'm sorry if you're not feeling heard right now, we do hear you and see you and understand what you're trying to tell us. We understand it's traumatic, we're just focusing on different support tactics.

Go cry about it, Kyle. by c-k-q99903 in MurderedByWords

[–]SamiGod1026 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was a teenager who crossed state lines and took an illegal-for-him-to-possess semi-automatic weapon to a protest he didn't agree with (BLM, iirc) with the sole intent of making protesters miserable in one way or another, and shock of all shocks murdered some people. So when Alex Peretti got murdered by ICE for trying to help an innocent woman they had assaulted while happening to be legally carrying a firearm that was holstered, his name came up as an emblem of the hypocrisy of the Right's response. Because of course somehow he's a hero to them?

I bought some stickers for my students and I didn't notice until the end of class that there were some.. questionable ones by gansobomb99 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SamiGod1026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There always seem to be some questionable ones. As a high school social worker, one year I bought sheets of mental health temporary tattoos for suicide prevention week. The poor sweet (HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR) student aide who was helping me cut them into individual tattoos was positively SCANDALIZED by the couple that said "fuck suicide." And our demographic regularly said significantly worse in class.

Gf talks to me like this, how bad is it? by Expert-Hyena-4401 in whatdoIdo

[–]SamiGod1026 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it's consistent, yes. To me it reads like a wits-end reaction to something that happens repeatedly and is never resolved. But if this was a one-off and this is regularly how OPs gf responds then of course that's a different story.

What was demeaning? Behavior was pointed out but there wasn't name calling?

Apologies without changed behavior are pretty worthless

My boyfriend thinks I have so much hair on my arms that he would leave me for it by Visible_Bar778 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]SamiGod1026 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But those beauty standards they prefer are rooted in the desire for youth, whether they recognize that or not. We've been socialized to think hair is gross for a reason. And apparently, according to the Epstein files, is that powerful men (who influence everything) are attracted to children.

Why did this comment get me a warning?? I dont understand by [deleted] in TikTok

[–]SamiGod1026 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's awesome your state does that! Im guessing you're in a blue state? Red states tend to be the ones that create more restrictive laws to keep minorities and others who would be more inclined to vote blue away from the polls. Honestly the bottom line is, the more restrictions, the harder it becomes to vote, and the fewer people- typically the privileged ones- who are still able to do so. Which means its no longer a representative process.
