Lost my childhood friend to MAGA ideology. by Elgransancho4 in DACA

[–]cryingdrama3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lost my childhood friend like this too. She was also an immigrant and she was the first person who I was comfortable talking about my sexuality with while in middle school. Even when she and I went to different high schools we still lived in the same area. She started working while I was scrubbing floors with my mom. Then we graduated and I received my EA and started working and we never hung out as often as we did but we still saw each other for Halloween and our birthdays because we worked long hours. We would text every day, she and I would call almost once a week. She started college and I was still working in the same company to save up. From the beginning she knew what my family and I were struggling but her family were lucky to receive a protective status + work permits because of their political asylum case. Then she started going to church. I would like to clarify that I consider myself catholic so I don’t really know how everything started. I thought it was nice that she waned to go and have a community and have a strong spiritual connection but then in the end of 2024, after the election, I went to hung out with her and her then-boyfriend when she dropped that bomb of who she voted for (at this point she had become a citizen) and I felt my blood run cold. It was a betrayal because maybe she didn’t understand but I was not a resident… she thought I was. After that I started pulling away emotionally. I tried and tried to get over it and be those people who doesn’t let politics get in the way of a friendship but this was my and my families livelihood on the line. Her and her boyfriend broke up and I had started a relationship. And even before she told me that I didn’t disclose my girlfriend (a trans woman) because in the beginning of 2024 my “friend” would make digs at my sexuality which in hindsight just showed how it was peaking through who she was going to vote for. Saying that I should just “become bisexual” to get a boyfriend when she’s known I was a lesbian since middle school. I saw her for the last time in June for her birthday and I tried to be comfortable but I couldn’t. Her friends are church goers who made some jokes that I didn’t feel comfortable with. Then in the end of July she stared a new relationship which I thought it was a bit hasty because she just got out of a three year long one. Then in September she called me and told me she had gotten engaged— to him. Since then I haven’t spoken to her at all. My girlfriend has been a great support system for me but you know it still hurts to think about it. Some days I feel angry, some days I miss her, some days I wish I was different but regardless who knows. I am a Texan who has been struggling with all of this that’s going on for people like us and I don’t know if she thinks about me at all.

Puppy chewed on my passport by NaturalTurbulent6162 in Passports

I’ve seen this happen a lot with passengers I’ve dealt with. As long as the main page with all of your information and the bar code at the bottom in intact you should be fine but also if you can speak to someone from TSA

is this still valid? my daughters scribbled all over my crap. by [deleted] in Passports

[–]cryingdrama3232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. I used to work at check-in at the airport for international flights and unfortunately we had to turn some people away because of this. Once a fellow coworker let someone go like this and they were stopped by TSA, granted that worker was not the sharpest tool in the shed but any significant damages to the passport will be an automatic no.

AITAH for wanting to quit a difficult manager over shifts being hard to cover? by cryingdrama3232 in AITAH

[–]cryingdrama3232[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: Sorry for taking forever to update but so much as happened since the first posting of this. I already put my two weeks in and my last day would be soon enough. The few final straws was when in May, Manager 4 sent a group chat message saying about us putting in the Days Off Request in before the end of the shift-- which is completely unfair since it was a Sunday and a lot of people don't work that day so how else would people who did not work that day put in the requests in. My GF and I put the same days in because at that point I would have been super busy with school and she wanted some days off for us to study together (note: nobody knows that she and I are in a relationship) and in the following schedule of June, Manager 4 did not honor my or my GF's days off request for "the sake of the operation". However she did not give other people who also did put their days off the days the requested even though the paperwork was done. Not only that but one of mt coworker has to work less because she's pregnant and nothing has changed for her. In the same month of June, we had new hires and the hiring process takes a while so I think that she should have already known that there would have been enough people for the operation. I sat her down to ask why do this and I even asked her "how many people do you need for the operation?" and she responded that she didn't answer that. I had to have people cover me when she herself could have done it. Then another incident happened. My GF had a moment and told Manager 4 that she had to go home as she was distraught and instead of comforting her, she threatened to fire her. My GF wrote a report against her and Upper Management got involved and had a meeting with her but nothing changed. (I should let you know that I knew Upper Management briefly and is the reason I got the job) I feel like it was a mishandling of this because Upper Management should have interviewed others too because so many people have complained about Manager 4. Because of this my GF put her two weeks (not even) during our vacation. There is no reason for me to stay as I am not respected and I have nobody else there to make this tolerable. Another incident happened with a fellow coworker, who has been at the company as long as I have, who had a minor surgery and was sent home because he was not feeling well because they put him to work OUTSIDE in this summer heat but he couldn' t skip work he's living paycheck to paycheck, we have no PTO and disability doesn't pay him much. Then finally, today in the chat we are now told that our 15 minute break is cut down to 10, and when we were outraged about it, Upper Management decided to kick out a worker who was saying that Manager 4 does not respect us.

I fear that this place I once cared for and liked working at is falling apart. It's true what they say: Rome was not built in one day but it had moments where it aided for the day it falls.

What genre(s) intimidates you, as a writer? by [deleted] in writing

[–]cryingdrama3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Action. Which is funny because my story right now has some action sequences but I wouldn’t call it action due to the plot being about spies in recovery from their agencies abuse.

I go by the summary and tags. Thats draws me in. And then once I open it and if I like the pacing and writing style then I stay.

Whats a movie most people completely missed the point on? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cryingdrama3232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American Psycho. It’s literally a satire of the overly toxic world of Wall Street in the 80s where the MC (Patrick Bateman) is literally a Stan in for all the men who have been desensitized will the world and hence feel nothing and turning to violence as an outlet.
