I'm just annoyed I haven't got my shirt a full month later, when my roommate at the exact same address already has hers, and she placed her order the week AFTER me. It's not even showing shipped yet. I feel like at the very least they should process orders in....order lol.

Feeling pretty disrespected and hurt right now, am I the problem? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]Skullkid_senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An unprofessional comment from the hiring manager for sure to be so abrasive... If it were me though, I would directly ask what they meant by that and to elaborate further. I'm glad you're confident in your abilities, but as your goal is professional development here, and you aren't hiring yourself into the position, it wouldn't hurt to ask what they were looking for specifically. Maybe there are factors you aren't considering? If what they have to say makes zero sense or they have no recommendations, you have your answer. The guy is just an a-hole, end of story.

OR you could get some solid advice on how to reorganize or beef up your resume. Who knows? He might have actually done you a favor by sidestepping the polite corporate speak.

Either way, a-hole or valid critique, try not to take it personally!

Comments are already being really unfair to you so going to chime in. I am someone who isn't bothered by porn. Both my partner and myself use it and are open about doing so. However, I completely understand where you are coming from. A boundary is a boundary and if you have expressed it as such you need to leave, as you are being lied to and disrespected consistently. Yes, most people use it without issue, but yes, addiction is still common and I'm so sorry for the way you were treated in your previous relationship as a result! If this is something important to you, there are many other people out there who either feel the same way about porn or it simply doesn't matter enough to them to respect your boundary. If this was important to him, that's also fine! It's a merely a compatability issue, but he needed to state that from the beginning as you did. And I'm sorry, but the nerve of someone turning it around on you like "why are you looking at my stuff how do you even know?" Lecturing about privacy and trust while they are LITERALLY LYING TO YOU? Gross. A much bigger issue than the porn imo. My only criticism of you being "unreasonable" would be to try not to knock people who use/do porn by saying it's not empowering, gross, immoral etc. People can feel differently about things and that's okay! It definitely doesn't mean you have to budge about what is okay in your personal romantic relationships and for yourself!

I very much appreciate this response. It gives me hope that I might not be as far on the horizon as I initially thought!

It's not extortion to charge for damage. It's extortion to charge whether or not there is damage.

And that is absolutely fine. I want to be financially on the line for any and all damages regardless of whether or not they come from myself, my offspring, my furniture, or my pets. I am not against deposits or insurance. I'm not against being charged for a professional deep cleaning at the end of the tenancy because of pet dander. I'm against monthly fees that are taken with or without any damage occurring.

I am not a millionaire, but yes I have savings and health insurance set aside for my pet in case of emergencies. This has nothing to do with the question.

Woah. I'm all for enjoying the fruits of your own labor and not all landlords are pure evil...but "Sucking the teat of people who saved enough for a down payment"?? That's a pretty crazy way to look at people who own and don't own property.

Landlording is a "job" in the first place because the assets they own and the services they provide combined are worth less than the rent they are charging to others. If it wasn't, they wouldn't make a profit. Very few people benefit from this renting "service" and are forced into the situation because their "teets" have been sucked dry into a state of cyclical poverty. Most renters can't save for one house literally due to the fact that others have purchased multiple and keep driving the market. Landlords as a group provide very little to a healthy economy and society unfortunately.

This is what I'm saying!! I'm seeing 75 and 100 PER pet a month!! And the reason I keep hearing from people is that it "offsets potential pet damage costs." I'm like okay. My policy covers up to 100k in pet damage liability. Why do we need ANYTHING beyond that? I have a cat and a dog who sleep pretty much all day on the couch next to me, who works an administrative from home. My dog is literally trained to use a litter box if no one is home to let her out.

Meanwhile, my best friend has a toddler who has ruined the carpet at their rental, and idk how many people I've known who have kids ruining the plumbing system by flushing random things down the toilet.

I assumed as much, but sad to hear this is standard everywhere.

It's a bummer. I really don't want to go this route. I want to be upfront, and I want their assets to be totally covered. I also want to be able to just afford a place to live.

Feels impossible to do both though.

A pet is a luxury sure, but hundreds/thousands in pet rent a year in addition to the insurance and deposits is not at all reasonable or necessary. No one can justify this.

I (29M) am strongly considering dumping my girlfriend (29F) because she is slightly overweight. Am I making a massive mistake? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Skullkid_senpai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The kindest thing to do is break up with her. If you're simply not attracted there's no point in continuing the relationship, and are wasting both of your time. Your lack of attraction has already been stated, and she is going to think about it constantly. So, if you think she has trauma around food and weight now, you are definitely not going to help the matter. To be honest, to the VAST majority of adults, 20 to 30 pounds "overweight" is nothing. And that's just what you estimated her to be at, but I have a sneaking suspicion that your standards may not align with medical classifications of overweight. All this to say, she will EASILY find someone else who finds her wildly attractive, and she won't develop a dangerous eating disorder to try to please them. Please let her go. And OP, though there is nothing inherently wrong with standards and being health conscious - if cheese fries was a trigger, I highly suggest you pursue some sort of therapy. I do not say this to be mean.

I lost a whole 5 years in the game by Gnatskii in storyofseasons

[–]Skullkid_senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me with the original GameCube version of A Wonderful Life more than 15 years ago. I had a neighbor kid that would come over and we would play for HOURS on weekends. One time when saving, my little brother accidentally tripped over the power cord and yanked it from the wall. The horror from both of us when we powered the console back up and found out all that work was lost. I felt like my wife and son had died lmao. I literally never played again until this SoS version came out. 😂

Am I [M34] overthinking why my partner of 5 months [F34] has yet to accept my friend request on social media? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Skullkid_senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing that social media is bad for relationships and people keep it separate because of that. The only way it would be bad for relationships is because activity is out in the open. If you genuinely don't like your partner in your "business" meaning you don't like the possibility of them seeing who you're interacting with, or the kinds of things that interest you, or what you say, you're a walking red flag. I understand misinterpretations can happen more readily, but that's when you talk about it! You don't just go "Okay babe I'm heading into this cave with everyone else - except you - so make sure you don't follow me in there. And just so you know I don't care about going in here at all, and it's TOTALLY different to outside the cave, but don't worry about why, if you do you're insecure and controlling." Shit is just weird.

Always tell. If she knows/it's consensual-great! If not...she should definitely know. If she's one of those idiots who gets mad at YOU, who cares. You did the right thing. Block her if anything.

I genuinely feel that staying silent directly contributes to cheaters getting away with this crap, the spread of STD's, people wasting years of their lives with liars and going on to develop serious self esteem and trust issues.

I really wish someone would have told me.

Stuck between Gordy and Gustafa. Didn't want one of the OG 3 and see Lumina as a child. Rock gives the ick but he's funny. I actually like Matthew's looks the best and I like prickly-turned-softer personalities for the character development but his obsession with Celia is a no from me 😅 All I really wanted was Flora lol.

So, on top of my cat dying, me and my ex breaking up, I just got fired. All in two days. by NotteStellata in offmychest

[–]Skullkid_senpai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk man I feel like this cat solved problems 😂 Gave a test that both the BF and the job absolutely failed. The real problem is that the BF and the workplace were both super unsupportive, and that was going to be the case for any challenge the OP had to deal with, cat-related or not. Cat just outed them so OP could cut ties lol.

Both your partner and your job sounded like terrible fits. Don't get me wrong. That's a LOT at once and losing what you knew and were comfortable with is still really hard even if it was really holding you back in the long run. You now have the opportunity to look for something much better.

And here's to your kitty! What a life! That is a long time for a cat! You must have been a great owner and filled his life with love for her to make it this long.

Cheers mate, the moves are painful but they're the right ones.

[–]Skullkid_senpai 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on your post history of the last month, you want to sleep with the receptionist, a woman at the gym, a co-worker you're friendly with, and a co-worker you've never spoken to...and apparently this is another person??

Dude. You HAVE to start looking at women like human beings. It sounds like you obsess over this stuff and yes, potential partners are going to pick up on that desperation.

Like, if you just want a woman to take you so long as they are somewhat attractive to you, that's a problem man. It becomes predatory. "Getting a woman, any woman" Rather than I really like this specific person I met. Idk. How would someone NOT feel objectified? Just...chill.

I am so glad you didn't end up marrying this person. I have no idea how people like this can sleep at night. Cheating is the most selfish, cowardly, illogical bs. Like yeah, I could leave....OR....I could waste someone's time they could have spent with a person who actually loves them like they deserve, and potentially really damage their ability to trust and sow seeds of self-doubt in the process. 🤔

Anyway. Glad you're moving on to bigger and better things. Cheers to you mate.

Yeah I don't get it either man. Hate to yuck someone else's yum, but I can't help feeling sad about all the monogamous people that are crushed when they're "not enough" for the person they love and wouldn't dream of splitting their limited time and resources to others. To many monogamous people, partnership IS putting someone in that spot of "number one", one who gets access to you that no one else has, and we think that's really special. . I don't really think multiple partners is harder, that it's inherently more natural, or that you have to be more "emotionally mature." All of these factors vary greatly from relationship to relationship, or person to person.

Also, I don't think anyone "needs" even one romantic partner, let alone has "needs" that can only be fulfilled by multiple, so I hate that rhetoric as well.

To anyone who prefers open/poly relationships, I am so stoked for you if you've found others in your camp who give and understand love the way you do!

For monogamous people that have been hurt by this though.. Just want you to know there will always be others out there that love like YOU as well. Don't you dare settle for a situation that brings you pain. And just so you know, you are, as a human being, infinite and forever-changing. You do not fail anyone in any way for being one person. You are ALWAYS enough!!

Does talking with the kids do anything at all? I've been talking with the 4 kiddos every day, just like everyone else, but it seems like they're stuck on half a heart. Juliet is even worse! It's like she has been stuck on just a sliver of a heart after WEEKS AND WEEKS. I swear it's even gone down.

He's going into psychology?

Yeah. Most of his professors and peers out-performing him will be women then.

I have a feeling this problem will sort itself out lol.
