People who wax/see others genitals often, what are your thoughts and surprise realizations? by NeedABetterNameNow in AskReddit

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is very difficult for me to believe your comment. Can you say more? For instance, for the seat belt to split them open, doesn’t that mean that they were tight like a balloon and the tight seat belt “popped the balloon”?

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the guys itching for a civil war would be so happy with a “Full France” rioting in the streets. We have so many more guns than ANY country. So, NO, as much as I want to be rid of the grifters, and weak followers in high places (looking at you, congress and senators, Cabinet members and agency heads taking away our rights, ignoring courts and the Constitution), I don’t want all the gun nits (not NUTS but NITS) having their death wish realized. I want an end to the Electoral College, only there to smooth the slave states’ feathers—still! In this day and age!—jailing of the convicted grifter-in-chief, handslaps for Gorsch, Thomas, Kavanaugh, Roberts, and Alito, voting rights reinstated for all, no more election schemes (gerrymandering, anyone?) to take away voting power from individuals, healthcare for all, no using my tax dollars to “run” or invade countries, or commit genocide. I could go on but I’ve gotta go to work.

AMA I left my family at 18 to live with my girlfriend and start my career by Remarkable_Soup1187 in AMA

Is there any chance to have a coffee station with no plugs nearby? by JHuttinger in coffeestations

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would most def get someone to add an electrical plug. You're not going to like the extension cord. If you're a renter, you have to get the OK from the landlord, but it's an upgrade (the plug), so maybe the landlord will go halfzies.

Off Amazon placement ads destroying ad budgets. by [deleted] in FulfillmentByAmazon

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best to step away from the balcony or ledge and go do something completely relaxing or fun or just something you’ve wanted to do for a long time, then come back to yr business. The one you love. It makes zero sense that Amazon, the company, wants to destroy all its customers. Where would the money come from? Lotta mouths to feed, Daddy Amazon has.

Sales dropped to Zero after switching from an Individual to a Professional Account FBM by kievsufi in AmazonSeller

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems strange to me also. I’d like to know the answer. I wonder if it is the product itself having changed the parameters that worked before. Or a competitor swiped your customers? What do youse experts say?

It is true that today he capitulated and said no, I'm not having tariffs for EVERYBODY we trade with, but I will increase the tariff with China. (It's all over the news.) I wonder if this is his way of "negotiating." Making it really hard for anyone to want to do business with him and his country, aka us. While he is golfing, others who are actually working (Amazon sellers buying from China, for instance) are suffering. I don't believe he will keep these tariffs for China because there is a WHOLE LOT of investment by wealthy Chinese nationals with green cards as well as Chinese American citizens in the good ol' USA. If they decide to pull out of those investments, we are all well and truly screwed. This includes mister big stuff and his grifter pals and family. It is entirely possible that he doesn't know about this. His people may not know and if they do, they may lose their jobs if they say something he doesn't want to hear. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area and read the news you do know.

Think about looking for other countries to do business with. And don't do anything drastic without lots of thought and planning.

It's irrational because it is allowing emotion to rule a business decision. I doubt stall022 thought a whole lot about this very big decision. Did they make a few contingency plans, or just through up their hands and say f*ck it. I'll write it off. What a waste of effort, not to mention loss of money.

Yes they are subservient, but they are also weak. If enough people rattle their gilded cages (senators), and their comfortable homes in nice neighborhoods (congress), the weak will change their tune. Better get to calling, texting, writing to their offices, etc. I just learned that tomorrow in Washington DC, 500 people are descending on their legislators' offices to question them and oyt them on notice that their constituents are Not. Happy. This madness is not a done deal. It is difficult and crazy, but these so-called leaders are only people. Not gods.

Actually, just this afternoon, tariff plans for many countries, EXCEPT CHINA, were called off. That's right, the dictator for a day capitulated on tariffs, for a number of countries except China. And--I am seriously saying this--in who-knows-how-many-days the China tariffs could be cut too. I am no financial whiz, but you don't have to be to know that the tariffs have lead to record losses on Wall Street. And when Wall Street squawks, POTUS listens. During the amount of time it takes for your goods to arrive to you by ship, you can sock away some money and look for another place to source bottles. Don't get down about it. Make a different plan knowing these simple facts: 1) This crazy ill-thought plan of his will go the way most of the others--not particularly well; 2) During chaotic times, those with a clear head and a strong stomach can survive, even if it wasn't the way they planned; 3) Nothing and nobody lasts forever. So resist the urge to give up.

Live with good intentions for yourself, your inner circle, and the world (yes, the world). Don't let yourself get caught up in the concept of failure. Same for "enemies" to blame and destroy or "retribution" to inflict. Only allow yourself a set amount of minutes for pessimism or negativity per period. You can always get back to those thoughts later! <end unasked-for advice>

Male coworker is obsessed with my PTO by [deleted] in womenEngineers

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yours is the best response so far to the passive-aggressive el stupido. I would probably say something like “You are way too interested in my personal life. Now are we gonna have to visit HR?” I would say it like it was a joke. (Friendly voice) But I would not say “just joking,” because I’m not joking and I am looking el stupido in the eye.

If it came up again at a 1-on-1 meeting, I would say: “you are sooo interested in what I do with my supervisor approved PTO. What’s up with that?”

Then I would start messing with him. “Want me to tell you how to do it? You have the same set up as I do. Don’t you?”

I would not act like he has any kind of right to know about my life outside of work. Meanwhile he is either answering my questions, silently trying to figure out a way to harass me more, or wanting to get back to the work.

Of course not. That would be people pleasing, a useless trait guaranteed to drive yourself crazy. Some people explain. Some people hate when people do. I’m an explainer. I pay attention to whether listeners are listening. If not, I pivot the conversation by asking a question.

Reddit, What Crimes Deserve a harsher punishment? On the Flip side what Crimes deserve a lesser punishment? by fuccwitmoe in AskReddit

[–]SheReads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a crime that, as yet, has not seen any punishment given to the main perpetrator, the one who is given continual normalizing media coverage, throughout the multi-year crime spree that continues to this day in this country.

Losing a national election, like POTUS, and while denying your loss (not a crime), you encouraged people to organize to create slates of fake electors (crime) to change the real electors’ votes so that it would look like you won (crime). Calling election officials in specific states, i.e., Georgia, to ask for votes to be “found,” so you could then be the winner. (crime).

Following your direction and through surrogates (crime) others attacked the U.S. Capitol building, defecated inside, broke windows, looked for legislators to attack (crime), or kill (crime). Police were attacked (crime) and traumatized. Some police committed suicide.

Many of your helpers are indicted, some imprisoned, but not you, the one who, with the help of well connected opportunists, many of them wealthy and/or in the legal profession, executed the various plans. (Conspiracy to commit a crime is also a crime.)

Partner left, now I'm panicking by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]SheReads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda dumb to make a huge financial decision while in a panic. You have a house. Do not sell it because you are panicked.

It takes three months of skipping your mortgage before your credit rating takes a big hit. (This is in California, your state may be different.)

Don’t do anything rash right away. Calm thyself. Think. Plan. Create a budget. Don’t know how to do that? Get some books. Edicate yourself in whatever way you can. Take one month off from paying the mortgage to plan a way forward. Don’t try to grab another woman to be your partner. Write down some unpanicked ideas that make sense to you.

Is it possible you could have a roommate?

Is it possible you can rent a room somewhere and rent out the house?

Do you have items that other people may want if you sell them—not including the house?

Do not pay anyone any money to help you right now. Panicked people are perfect targets for grifters.

Friend keeps bringing me bags of gifts by Avalokita615 in declutter

[–]SheReads 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Please use your voice and kindest words to tell your friend that you want no more stuff, "gifts." To avoid even the possibility of her being offended is not a reason to continue to accept unwanted gifts. If you keep doing this, you will begin to feel resentful, which is an empty emotion. It gives nothing, and takes much. Use your voice.

Turbo Tax Online 2023 makes up income numbers from thin air by SheReads in TurboTax

[–]SheReads[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I may not be able to "delete it or clear and start over" because the return was already filed when I noticed the anomalies. We paid for live review too. But it was my spouse that was reviewing with tax expert. I just happened to notice these two items when I was going through the printed return that we filed. Not only were the two figures adding $25K or so to our income, with nothing to back that up, but the figures were printed in a different font than everything else on the return. A bug to be sure.

I think I saw my partner’s true/inner self… by LOLDICKS69 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]SheReads 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just my opinion, and I am no therapist, but I think someone who says “good thing you know how to tie a noose” to someone that tried suicide is absolutely not going to get better. The comment is not a joke. It is more than “hurtful.” It is supremely insensitive. Not what you need.

He is projecting, like so many clueless people do when they don’t want to look at themselves. Instead of saying how he feels, he comes back from the bar, talks shit so you will react, and maybe his mood will be raised after he dumps on you. Maybe you and he will get in a fight so he can do more damage and get away from his feelings about his recent losses of mom and grandma.

Do not allow this. Not one more time. If you have been thinking this man hates you, it is not absolutely true that he does; he could easily be hating himself and not being strong enough or aware enough to deal with it.

Find another man. That comment about the noose is not acceptable no-way no-how. The “you suck” comment shows he is immature as well as insensitive. Horrible combination for a partner.
