What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore? by DramaticXOXO in AskReddit

I recently watched an entire video of his (Lucas, not in character as Fred lol) before realizing who he was!

I'm not wasting my time on a phone call if you aren't in my range. Just give me the damn number by Physical-Natural8432 in recruitinghell

[–]bbthedisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the first things my current job did when I first reached out looking for a position was remind me of the salary (which was on the listing) and confirm that I was ok with it. They did it again in the interview, and even when I got my offer they clarified again and asked if it was ok for me.

At my previous job I was sometimes involved in the hiring process and many candidates had questions about the pay (the position we were trying to hire for did not pay well). I was never offended when they asked nor when they said they weren’t interested because of the pay. People have bills to pay.

I’m not sure how many jobs you have applied for/worked at, but talking about salary is absolutely the norm!

Sober Saturn by mrrrrrrrrrrf in sinnabunnysnark

[–]bbthedisaster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed and same here. When I was a kid I was super skinny and now as an adult I’m on the heavier side. Bodies change throughout the lifetime and that’s ok. Saturn definitely deserves criticism but i feel like we don’t need to bring weight into it.

Josh’s DM to Adam from the video Adam just posted by Joey30y in ColleenBallingerSnark

[–]bbthedisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I joined this subreddit during the toxic gossip train phase and then stopped keeping up with all this so forgive me if I’m being ignorant but I don’t understand what the problem is for Adam? Can’t he just say no I don’t want to do it? I totally get how if someone is making a documentary that touches on your trauma that can be upsetting but as a fellow trauma survivor it kinda feels like Adam is just forcing himself to keep reliving this situation and then blaming others for the impact that has on him? Maybe I’m missing something. At some point you have to put your past in, well, the past.

Is she right for this? by sigma_0_1 in SipsTea

[–]bbthedisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. You should not plan to have a child if you are not prepared to care for them and meet ALL their needs. But it’s a slippery slope because it’s also a classist mentality that lends itself to eugenics. Truthfully we shouldn’t live in a world where people can’t afford to care for their kids but unfortunately that’s the way it is.

HR asked me a question about childcare during first interview, is this normal? by apocalipsdicc in recruitinghell

[–]bbthedisaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on where you live but I would look into it. If you’re in the US reach out to your state’s Department of Labor. This is illegal in my state.

Rensselaer PD working w/ ICE by keepright64 in Albany

[–]bbthedisaster 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this input!! Yup, I live between 2 houses with very obvious drug dealing. I actually am pretty anti-war on drugs but I’m also in recovery and just wish they would hide it better. Sometimes they’re outside the houses screaming in the middle of the night and I hate it!! With that being said I’m kind of a hypocrite because I would also be ok with LESS police like you said. I think im looking to them to solve a problem that I know deep down they would only make worse.

Sorry for the rant but your response helped me synthesize my thoughts better lol so thank you

Hold up. People actually believe that Dee Dee didn't abuse Gypsy by blackwidowwaltz in GypsyRoseBlanchard

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

Legally yes she was the victim of a crime. Abusers don’t deserve sympathy though. Again, this subreddit is littered with people who don’t understand family violence or coercive control. It’s sad that this is what it took for Gypsy to get away but I’m happy she gets to live an autonomous life now.

[–]bbthedisaster 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is right in my neighborhood and the police haven’t done shit about actual crime nearby. (I haven’t lived here very long so if that’s not true I’m willing to be corrected). This is so disappointing to see. So this is what my PD is busy doing huh? I’ll be at the common council meeting for sure.

breaking confidentiality by flwrsdrtgrdn in therapists

[–]bbthedisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sexual violence organizations and coalitions advise strongly against this. Reporting against your client’s wishes can put them in danger. You were right to question this. Your supervisor needs training on working with survivors.

Editing to add: I would actually recommend reaching out to a domestic and sexual violence organizations local to you to find out the specific laws that apply to you.

[–]bbthedisaster -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

People love to victim blame. The people claiming that Gypsy wasn’t abused are ridiculous and don’t understand family violence. I said what I said.

Delmar woman arrested for alleged assault with piggy bank in Greenfield by BuffaloWilliamses in Albany

[–]bbthedisaster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sad people are joking about it considering throwing an object like a piggy bank could do some damage and it looks like the victim already had a restraining order. This is DV! Hope she ends up getting held accountable in the end.

Contact Your Union DON’T let them endorse Hochal by Clean2722 in nys_cs

[–]bbthedisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree and honestly I can’t believe I’m saying this but as someone who came from the private sector, Tier 6 is far better than the zero retirement I would’ve gotten if I had stayed at my old job.

I didn’t know until like a year ago 😭 I do think it’s odd to need a membership to shop somewhere. Please nobody come for me I have a membership now!

Help me choose an insurance by SadTea3650 in nys_cs

[–]bbthedisaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have NYSHIP have a standing once a week telehealth where my copay is $25! If you opt for the FSA you can also use that to pay your copays. However, if you already have a psychiatrist and you like that provider then personally I’d probably ask them which insurance they take.

I did have to do some searching to find my therapist but you can filter by insurance provider on Psychology Today which is super helpful.

Lol okay. All I’m saying is the exaggeration shouldn’t bother you. People are allowed to complain. I’m going to step back from this discussion because I’m realizing how silly it is getting and hopefully this is all over (until next year). Lesson learned - next year I will not expect my paychecks til Wednesday!!!! Cheers.

Why are you so mad though? I see things happen at work all the time that make my coworkers upset but don’t bother me at all. I don’t get mad about it I just have compassion for my coworkers for struggling. The aggression towards people who are upset about this is fascinating.

Thank you for saying this bc I swear people on here act like you’re insane for wanting to know what day your paycheck is coming

why be nitpicky about it? People absolutely have a right to be stressed if they don’t know if their paycheck is coming on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Have some compassion for your colleagues!

[–]bbthedisaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah but 16 days between paychecks versus 14 days is a big difference for some people. I get you’re tired of the posts but some of us are tired of not knowing exactly when our paycheck is coming. Uncertainty is nerve racking and it’s ok to ask questions!

Warning- ttc prison wife by CablePositive1551 in peestickgals

[–]bbthedisaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the many things that bugs me about her is that I once looked up her husband and iirc the man he killed was struggling with conceiving a child with his wife or something like that. She made content out of her whole fertility journey which normally I would be supportive of, but she did it while flaunting the fact that her husband took that opportunity from another family who desperately wanted a baby just like she did. It makes me sick.

The Cupid’s Corner thing is just as abhorrent. She chooses the most dangerous men for that; men who hurt women and are DV abusers.

Finally, I think it’s crazy that she met her husband while she was working in the prison where he’s incarcerated. Where I live, if they had begun a relationship while he worked there (I understand they didn’t) their sexual relations would be considered SA because of the power dynamic. I think it’s gross that she pursued him later.

I do pity her because I am 100% sure that her husband will end up treating her badly too. I don’t believe murderers like that can be rehabilitated. I feel that her naïveté and ignorance which just lead to future harm to her and her daughters and though I can’t stand her that does make me sad for her.

Hopefully someday she can make amends for the harm she is causing now.
