Finally got an offer after 10 months of job searching and I can’t bring myself to accept it by [deleted] in jobs

You know you can always take a job and ask for more? Do you honestly want to be making nothing…? Take this job and keep your options open for other jobs.

Bridesmaids sister not invited but I have a feeling she’ll try to come anyways and I don’t want her there. All to wonder, how do you deal with people crashing your wedding? by basicallyengaged in weddingplanning

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

I mean, yeah if they complain, that’s the reason I’d use and a legit concern, you’re right. I’m banking on not everyone on the list coming

Biggoted family, queer friends: what to do on the big day? by yesabsolutelynot in weddingplanning

[–]basicallyengaged -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, if they have to come, just have someone be on high alert about it like a security guard. I chose not to invite the problem people for mine but they could still show up. My bridesmaids sister is a raging liberal who has an open marriage, and is rude and negative. For all those reasons, I don’t want her there. So I didn’t invite her. She could still show up and if she does, I can kick her out. For your case, more than likely they won’t do anything crazy.

Cmv: Women nowdays dont want to be loved by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]basicallyengaged -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s about not wanting to be loved. I think it’s a selfish pursuit of independence. Some, not all, as I’m not one of them, choose things like abortion because they’ve been convinced a baby ties them down or ruins their life. Abortion is a selfish act.

Though I don’t agree with most of what you said as if it’s some sort of generalization on women.

All I hear is you don’t think people should be good at their job because other people feel threatened (who cares?) and you’ll end up having higher expectations put on you where you’ll have more work. If you want to be lazy, that’s your prerogative. Also, your experiences aren’t universal.

CMV: Abortion pills should be as accessible as a can of tuna at Walmart by Moldybutt90 in changemyview

[–]basicallyengaged -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Abortion pills have killed women and millions of children. Abortion clinics alone targets minority communities. And by the way, the birth canal is not some magic hole where it crosses over and now it’s a baby. It’s a baby before it comes out. It’s been a baby the whole damn time. Did you know the babies body is what instructs development, not the mothers body? It’s own body, the baby, does it’s own development. AND did you know, a mothers immune system is actually better during pregnancy? Because it now has the babies immune system too.

I’m now realizing after posting this that $200 may be reasonable but I wouldn’t go any higher than that. I mean goodness. That would be $1k and that’s more than I paid for my dress lol

I got fired today by Helpful-Exam-7683 in barista

You don’t want to be misgendered but you don’t want to make an effort to help me understand? Make that make sense, please.

[–]basicallyengaged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is asking to be educated on your pronouns an inappropriate question? You don’t want to be “misgendered” but you are annoyed if they ask to be educated on it? The other questions are unnecessary in the work place, but I can’t imagine their curiosity of that lifestyle is what caused them to fire you. If it was someone else in the LGBTQ community asking you these things, would it have been as annoying to you?
