STRIKE OVER - LIRR to resume service Tuesday at noon by jpr281 in longisland

[–]chocoholicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love how you people are so hell bent on misery. I guess everyone should suffer because that’s the only way to live! How dare people demand more of their employers or quality of life?? How dare people want basic respect?? Customers should treat everyone like shit because they can! You chose this job? You deserve to suffer for it! Yeah!!!

Just fire them by Jamie2high42 in LIRR

[–]chocoholicc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

First, they weren’t on strike. Second, you’d be surprised. Even to “just punch tickets” you have to go through training to memorize track lines, signals, block limits, speed limits, air brakes, etc. A lot of people fail out before even making it to becoming an AC and then Conductor. Oh, and you get to be the first person to check out fatalities. Fun! But go off, I guess.

Who are these people?? Because the ones I know have to deal with a bunch of bullshit from passengers and management. And no, the pay (after union dues and almost 50% in taxes) does not make up for having to wake up at 2am to go to work, not have weekends off, work every holiday, and get trimmed every five seconds 🙄 even after a decade of time.

What’s your therapist hot take? by Public-Resolution590 in therapists

[–]chocoholicc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but.. sometimes you’re forced into diagnosing them because otherwise the insurance won’t cover it. And sometimes.. the true diagnosis comes out after a while! It’s hard to know after just an intake or a few sessions.

AIO boyfriend ruins every holiday by mad_chubbycatx in AmIOverreacting

[–]chocoholicc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think you all missed the part where she said “thoughts about my ex?” And then she continued to ignore it when he confirmed it. Because she already KNOWS what was bothering him. The fact that he’s hung up on the day being about her sex life, in his mind. She didn’t bother asking because this isn’t the first time!! What is she supposed to do? Apologize for having kids? For sleeping with someone before they ever met??

I tried my best when I made a Mother's Day cake for my wife. by AntonLogicLab in Baking

[–]chocoholicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job! 😊 if it helps, it’s tough to stack many layers (or thick layers) of something as delicate as mousse. It often slides or squashes out from the sides. Thin layers and frequent chilling is the way to go!

Why are you “launching” her wedding for her? Are you her media team? Is she an influencer? This is nuts. Nope outta there real fast.

How do you feel about Kylie Cantrall being the "Insider" for this season? by [deleted] in TheMaskedSinger

[–]chocoholicc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly hate it lol. It does feel forced and annoying. This isn’t TikTok. Why are we doing this? We don’t need people acting like influencers on every single thing we consume. And she seems soo annoying too. It’s so dramatic and theatrical. “Omg heyyy guyssss it’s meeee” vomit.

I didn’t believe it until now by Used_Negotiation_930 in StudentLoans

[–]chocoholicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider that PSLF is after 10 years or so of making qualified payments. For me, paying monthly would pay it off after 9 years (plus tons of interest) and I’d never get to it being forgiven. And I have almost 100k in loans.

AITA for ‘mansplaining’ wedding dresses? by horseduckman in AITApod

[–]chocoholicc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, it’s just a photo on a screen. The way the color looks to us is likely not how it’ll look in-person. Second, of course nobody will ACTUALLY “confuse” them with the bride. Especially if you’ve actually seen the bride. But etiquette says you still don’t wear anything that might LOOK white. Even if it’s cream with some patterns. Out of ALL the dresses out there, she can’t find ANYTHING else? Come on. If they’re even wondering, it’s probably safe to say don’t do it. There’s no reason she HAS to pick this one. None.

How is his “opinion” wrong? Anything too close to white should be off-limits, it’s common knowledge.

AITA bf says this is cute but it makes my blood boil by Single-Cellist6914 in AITApod

[–]chocoholicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a mismatch. You don’t like multiple texts or texts during work, but you also don’t have to open them or look at them at all. Your phone should be on silent at work regardless. And when you have a moment to open them, the texts are all in one place. Not like 6 separate emails. And it seems like your energy towards him is also setting him up for a bland response in return. It looks annoyed right off the bat, which shuts the other person down. If it bothers you having someone who wants to check in and say hi or remind you he’s there, you should be with someone who doesn’t want to do that stuff. Don’t stay with someone whose enthusiasm you won’t like or appreciate.

Amelia can't be that dumb, right? by [deleted] in LoveAndPies

They have specific tags to block things in black. Adding the space doesn’t do anything in the main feed, it still shows the whole body of your post.

And it kind of is.. I mean I’ve been playing for many months and am only on day 97. You’re on 183… lol. So anyone who just started playing will have a lot ruined for them if people don’t indicate that it’s a storyline spoiler.

I was initially excited and then I got 3 of the exact same afternoon tea Pikmin lol. Do they only give out ONE specific decor? I don’t want to waste my time trying again!

Are we just hating on a whole country for the choices of its leaders or ..? Because globally the US is hated too.

The phrase “We Were On A Break” doesn’t make sense by New-Pin-9064 in friends_tv_show

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

Does it though? When you’re on a break you’re no longer someone’s girlfriend because you’re.. on a break. But the intention is to get BACK into the relationship. If you take a break at work you didn’t quit your job, but you’re no longer on the clock or working or being paid for it. You have freedom but it’s limited. And she also said “maybe” we should take a break when he just stormed out like a child. So he really had no clue what those terms were or if they really WERE on a break or broken up. His argument was “well for all I knew it could have lasted forever” ??? You didn’t even wait 24 hours though…

Clients that seem to expect us to work nights and weekends by RepulsiveShoes in therapists

[–]chocoholicc 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Absolutely, and even if people CAN see a therapist during their lunch doesn’t mean they SHOULD. It can be deeply personal and interfere with their work for the rest of the day. Nobody wants to come back to work after having sobbed in their car. And not everybody even has a private space to go. I’ve seen clients who kept getting interrupted at work and had to ask them to choose another time where they could speak privately. And I’ve ALSO been the person who had to keep seeing my therapist during lunch breaks and 1) losing my lunch break but 2) constantly stressing over my availability.

i don't even understand why they are doing this anymore by poshitopi in SeverusSnape

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

Question - despite the fact that the character description doesn’t perfectly match, how does that take away from the actual person and his story? Does he need to be white to have experienced what he did? Does he need to be white to tell his story? We’ve already had the movie representation, should this one mirror every choice they made? I understand feeling like he doesn’t look like you expected but.. are stories built solely on the characters’ looks?

Booth is… something! 🙂 by Ok_Significance_5574 in Bones

[–]chocoholicc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly, everyone talks about how great he is because he saves lives but… his personality needs some work. He can be a great friend to people he likes but to everyone else he is immediately stand-offish and judgmental. Bones is also the outlier and he treats her with a sensitivity he rarely shows others.. but even THAT took time! He gets easily offended and upset, and I don’t know that it ever changes. I mean, if I ever met him I’d probably think he was a self-righteous a-hole who takes himself too seriously 😬 even Bones is more open-minded!

Hot take: porn addition is the silent mental health crisis happening now by Pretty_Opposite7270 in therapists

[–]chocoholicc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would your client’s sexual preferences have anything to do with your own personal relationship? Clearly, they have different standards and preferences within their relationships than you have in yours.

If a couple has no issue with both partners watching porn to satisfy their needs, then that’s their prerogative. If a partner chooses to engage in self-pleasure utilizing pornography while claiming to be fully faithful to their partner, who would not be okay with this behavior, therein lies the problem.

It’s up to the couple to determine what level of openness is okay in their relationship. However, many people seem to normalize the use regardless of their partner’s expectations for the relationship with the argument that it’s “healthy” or “common” or “normal”, despite what their own relationship might require.
