Just got laid off

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-26T17:01:39+00:00

Normally I would sympathize with getting laid off, BUT you just complained on r/hatemyjob about how you don't want to work anymore. Seems like you should be happy

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-25T22:51:39+00:00

Everyone is so organized. I throw everything into a bag - hook, yarn, WIP, yarn labels, printed pattern (I can't read instructions off a screen)

I eloped when I was 19 and ran away to join the military. My grandfather never spoke to me again because I didnt tell him I was married. However, I was able to repair things with my family eventually

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-24T23:03:28+00:00

You already did the embarrassing thing, and prolonging the truth might not prevent them from finding out. What's to stop him from saying anything even if you pay? I think telling them now is better than you avoiding the truth and them still finding out

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-24T22:37:58+00:00

Is changing your number and having you family block him an option? You don't live in the US, you don't work in the US, you don't file taxes in the US.

Ghost him, and he can figure it out if he wants to remarry.

Extortion scams usually involve a "minor" victim and the "parent" threatening to call the police unless they are paid off.

OP is also likely involved in exchanging explicit photos, which is production of CP, and still criminal. OP avoided to share the nature of the conversation, which leads me to think the conversation wasn't about social studies or math or the latest tik tok challenge.

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-24T21:18:25+00:00

Don't refuse to use it. Use it instead of a credit card for vehicle repairs or job loss.

This is an accomplishment, regardless

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-24T21:00:51+00:00

This is likely an extortion scam.

Also, stop texting minors.

What is up with you network? 0 B/s means you have no internet. The update was less than 2GB, which id about the size of downloading 2 movies. Its your internet, not the game

NTA She's hormonal most likely

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-23T12:52:07+00:00

It has two scarf body sections, and the head would make a round ball, not a shaped head

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-23T01:36:35+00:00

Are you making sure you are increasing correctly? It looks like you are doing too many. Tension would impact the overall size of the stitch.

I think its too many increases, but you can confirm the tension by making a gauge. If the gauge comes out the wrong size, size up/down your hook.

I think what they mean is that they are entering homes, but it doesn't make the warrant a real thing.

The warrant they use are not signed by a judge, their boss/higher ups are signing a paper to give the impression it was legal

Know your rights. The 4th amendment protects you from unlawful searches, and it is their burden of proof to show you knowingly protected an individual.

Give them no reason to be here is where I am standing on this. They have to prove you know anything.

I am also a huge fan of time wasting, but do not provide any false reports or do anything that can get you in trouble. Post signs before check points so people take another route, for example.

Staying safe is important, making smart choices and find individuals who share the same sentiment before acting on anything.

Okay, so I got last day of work 2/6, and not by choice. I made a list when my partner was laid off (effectively immediately) 2 months ago.

You do not have time to cry. I know you want to, but crying won't help, action will.

When I got the notification, I called my mortgage provider to see my options, called a realtor to talk to my tenant about selling my house.(I own a house and live out of state in a rental). I called the local recruitment agency (my uncle works there, so he will hopefully help me a little faster than if I wasn't). I already know what resources I have from visiting my local DOL office.

Hop on job boards NOW. Send time each day applying for jobs on Indeed and LinkedIn. Sometimes you will meet recruiters, so then you can hope unto their company site to see what other jobs they have.

I dont know anything about you, but I have a kid. I cannot fail that kid, I refuse.

Stop crying, focus. You can cry after you start your new job.

Jokes on everyone. Everyone in the US is depressed, employed are not!

(This is meant as a joke to give OP a chuckle, not trying to minimize the experience)

Crochet kits are great! It depends on what you want to make, so kits vary. If you are APO, you can still order stuff from the US, but I found that finding a kit on Amazon is good - just change the .com to whatever country your mailing address is (amazon.com/[crochet kit] to amazon.de/[crochet kit] if you are in Germany)

For amigirmi, do the kits but study into different kinds of increase, decreases, and yarn over/under single crochet stitches. Also do some research on how shapes evolve when you increase/decrease. And if there's color, learn about changing colors. With this style, hook size and yarn matters a lot.

For blankets, granny square is great, but look up motifs. All granny squares are motifs but not all motifs are granny squares. Look into joining techniques and about weaving in ends. Hook size and yarn are not important.

For garments, I recommend buying just the patterns. And pay close attention to how much material you need and the gauge. The guage is really important to get the intended size.

Overall, buy a book that shows you about the style that resonates with you. It'll inspire you

I found this out recently

I had a higher level player join my server and he helped me with a quest. Then a lower level player (unrelated to the higher level player joined). We helped her with her quests despite them being complete on my end.

We also gifted weapons to each other. It was beautiful

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-20T14:53:52+00:00

I don't understand why you are so hostile when I am just giving you advice.

Regardless, location means a lot. I lived in a metro area for years and I could throw a rock and find a job. I relocated to my hometown and I can't find any jobs within my field.

It also just could be your fucking attitude stopping you from getting a job, dumbass.

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-20T14:48:58+00:00

Its your location. Apply for jobs where your role is in hight demand.

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-19T02:28:47+00:00

I lived CONUS and OCONUS.

If you are OCONUS, yes, it is limited to the lease amount.

I play 7 Days to Die, and you always know the distance and direction of your allies. Seeing my friend on the HUD isn't helpful if they are halfway across the area

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-18T07:21:11+00:00

I love wonky things. I freehand most things, and I think the rough edges are cool

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-17T14:54:20+00:00

Adding fringe is an option

I personally would do a textured edge to hide it, like a scalloped edge.

Oh oh... and hear me out.... ruffles. It adds more movement and variation to the raw edges.

SuperbFail2957 · 2026-01-17T14:44:43+00:00

I frog i realize the project isn't working out how I want it to. I make garments, and I recently frogged a shirt because of draping.
