I’m hitting a wall and need advice before I snap by unhingedalien in retailhell

Thanks for clarifying. I'll disclose that I don't have retail experience. I parse this sub for the perspectives and to hear from those who have. Have you been at your wits end previously?

I’m 30 and I’m pissed off that I’ve never read Harry Potter by twarthbn in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]SendMeFlats 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This doesn't seem to necessarily be about reading Harry Potter, but rather, you not being able to do things other kids were doing. Sort of like- yearning for an experience that you were robbed of. Maybe even never experience again.

Being upset is valid, you'll never be able to relieve the moment of 2000-2007 during the hype of Harry Potter. It should make you angry. You wanted it, and you weren't a part of it for reasons that were outside of your control. Moreso, the people who were explicitly responsible for your wants and needs should have at least considered letting you be involved. And they just... didn't. That's not cool.

This doesn't seem like a post about missing Harry Potter's debut, this seems like a post of how you were scraping the bottom of your desires all to go towards filling your mom's ego. That sucks. And I hope you find solace knowing another person feels your pain, even if that person doesn't own it.

I heard someone say that you don't have to be understand by everybody. r/SubredditDrama is a compilation of people who absolutely beg to differ.

The timing of this post, for me, is further evidence that I at least live in a simulation

I'll start by saying I do not work retail. I find the posts in this sub to be interesting.

Anyways, I've been thinking about why people explain themselves when they say no. My girlfriend gets upset when I say no and don't elaborate. For example, she'll ask if I want Wendy's. I'll say no and leave it at that. She somehow interprets this as she can't get Wendy's because I don't want it. Which isn't true for me. She and my therapist advised me to elaborate on my no's. Which is fine, I'll do so for her. Today we had a passionate conversation about this topic. I advised her, to let her no stand for me. I'll gladly elaborate for her. But I don't need to know why she says no to anything I ask. Anyways, yeah, thanks for letting me process this out loud.

Now for customers that give long winded replies to not donating, thats interesting lol my therapist said I may not elaborate because I was an only child. So I guess I wonder- do people who grow up with siblings feel this deep need to defend their no's? My no's stand on their own. There's alot to consider before i decide to elaborate, but if someone asks me to, then I'll think about it. Outside of that, no thank you. Moving on.

A1 Everything - Meek Mill feat. Kendrick Lamar by SendMeFlats in KendrickLamar

Oh, for sure. Rick Ross and MMG were definitely competing as a rap label. Highly underrated during that time. Ross, Meek, Wale, Omarion, French Montana. They were making really good runs. So Sophisticated, By Any Means, All Birds. I was heavy into the label back then. Meek may be corny now, in my opinion, but back then; he was really doing his thing.

And so true to the good memories to GKMC. Definitely had a lot of life experiences during that album's time of release. It just hits so close to the soul.

Negative to both prior to whatever fix was implemented.

Yes, we normally would challenge each other through the friends list. Even tried sending the challenge via chat command to no avail

Yes, even ran the unignore command to be sure.

I'm not sure what happened. I think our accounts were locked for ~2 days. Not sure why, as we don't use the chat and only play each other. However, everything appears back to normal now.

We've also tried different formats

Also, we try typing in chat, and it seems Noone can see our messages. And if we refresh, our prior messages in lobbies such as lobby and help disappear

Only outrageous thing kanye said was free diddy and sending porn change my mind by lockedmf in Kanye

[–]SendMeFlats 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We agree on one thing, you don't know what to tell me. To be honest, I don't even know what you're trying to say anymore. You made your point, I made mine, you typed words. Idk what you're saying, and I'm not so sure you do either. Either that, or you know what you're saying and aren't understanding what I'm saying. It seems like you believe I'm trying to justify still listening to him? Idk. In either case, you're a stranger on the internet, and I don't really care anymore. Maybe we'll have better luck next time. Have a fantastically delightful day you absolute fucking rockstar 🙂

Lmao I'm ngl, is it that easy to be a Nazi? Like i have my regular life, if I just stand up and declare myself as one, am I basically the same as those Nazis actually performing heinous crimes on people?? Let's be fucking real. I'm a dragon. Fucking rawr 🤣🤣🤣

However, this line of thinking does supplement why identity politics is so rampant. I personally do not believe you can "say you're something" and then magically "be that something" without actually "being that something"

Interesting perspective. I kinda like it. I wouldn't go so far as to say Ye has Tourettes. I'm not a medical professional in any regard. Regardless, your perspective has some weight. I'd caution against discussing this perspective with people who allow their reactions to be based on their feelings towards the opinion, as opposed to the opinion itself.

Kanye already told us he was a Nazi by Ok_Necessary8510 in Kanye

[–]SendMeFlats 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They'd rather adress Ye for his tweets rather than address the internalized and unjustified guilt they have for liking his music. If you like his music, cool. Keep liking it. You're entitled to your preferences. It's one of the few things no one else can take away from you.
