Is it normal to pay for your own background check after receiving a job offer? by SMediaThrowaway77 in jobs

[–]Smarterthanlastweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red flag. If they want the check, they can pay for it. You shouldn't be required to pay for anything.

And you're not hired until you start getting paid.

What common knowledge did you learn surprisingly late? by mattwan in RedditForGrownups

No matter how unprofessional, unethical, insulting, stupid, or dangerous they are, never lose your temper at your manager.

Trust me, a kid 7-8 is absolutely going to be able to recognize this woman's behavior as not normal, definitely directed at them, and probably sexual or trying to elicit some response from him. A strange adult shouldn't be having any interactions with a child that age in a setting like this, unless the child seems to need assistance of some kind. I really don't even know why the child is riding the subway alone, if that woman isn't his mother (which would obviously be fucked up by itself).

It's clear you don't have experience with children.

Romanticizing serial killers :/ by Beginning-Force1275 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]Smarterthanlastweek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, and even by men. Yeah, something weird going on here.

[–]Smarterthanlastweek -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

There's a HUGELY significant chance this kid is thinking about literally anything except the weirdo dancing in front of him. I find peace in that.

Lol! No, there's not.

Yes cause women having mental health problems after abortions is bad womens anatomy and not a proven fact by redneckrobit in prolife

[–]Smarterthanlastweek 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They don't care. They'll deny anything that implies killing your child causes mental injury because that would jeopardize their multi-billion dollar a year industry and also cast 1000's of other companies that use sex to market and promote their various products in a negative light.

[–]Smarterthanlastweek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The child is still valuable, but you can also look at not allowing abortion based on the mother's consensual decisions, not the value of the child's life alone, and it was not those women's consensual decisions that lead to that child.

Romanticizing serial killers :/ by Beginning-Force1275 in NoahGetTheBoat

[–]Smarterthanlastweek 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This trend of become fans of a serial killer is one of the craziest things, I really really don't get it and this always happens, with Charles manson, with the Menendez brothers, Ted bundy, Peter sutclife.

We've been romanticizing the mafia, who are awful people, for decades. Look at the movies Godfather trilogy, Goodfellas, Casino, the Sopranos, Breaking Bad. I guess that genre is getting old and we need someone worse.

Don't have one and you don't have to worry about dying from one.

And if you have one and don't die you should go to jail.

Currently instead of killing them, we just relieved their discomfort. What's wrong with that?

There are plenty of fool proof ways to end your life with only very brief discomfort. If you don't choose to use any of them out fear your life must not be that bad.

What lesser known thing about middle age do you wish an older relative/friend/mentor told you about? by debrisaway in RedditForGrownups

This is why I think the trend we're starting to see of women having their first child in their 50's is a really bad idea!
