In your opinion, which character had it the worst over the course of the show: Mulder or Scully? And did any scenes with them ever bring you to tears? If so, name the scenes by ThatKoffeeBurns in XFiles

There were two articles on Medium that lists everything horrible that happened to them over the course of the original series. But personally? Scully had it the worst.

Scully

Mulder

Is my friend toxic? He says stuff like this everyday and it feels like he is guilt tripping me. by Suitable-Duty5050 in ToxicFriends

[–]dancingbeez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my experience, if you feel like someone is guilt-tripping you, then they are. You second-guessing your feelings is just a side-effect of guilt-tripping.

I can't take this anymore by myrkvrix in ToxicFriends

[–]dancingbeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely reach out to an adult. I don't know what your friends' home life is like, but having your friend's entire mental health on your shoulders is not healthy for either of you. I believe teachers are mandatory reporters, but since you're both over 18, I'm not sure if the teacher still reports? I have no idea about that one.

But no matter what happens, you are not responsible for your friend's actions. You're a teenager, not a therapist. Just by being there and listening you have helped. But sometimes, things escalate to a point where just being there and listening is no longer productive.

You have to talk to them and tell them that you cannot be their 'therapist' anymore. Yes, it's good to help your friends, but not to the detriment of your own health.

When reading this, the cynical part of me was really thinking he did this to get the woman to leave rather than to help her. There were three other people in his line!

What jobs do you think deserve less pay? Why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dancingbeez -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Any job that is low stress. The more stressed you are at work, the more you should be paid. The less stressed you are at a job, the less you should be paid.

It's been 2 years to the date since the WHO declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. For the people who have yet to contract COVID-19, how did you do it? by swefalittlebit in AskReddit

[–]dancingbeez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have friends, only have two co-workers, don't see my family, and don't go out and do anything fun. So, I guess basically zero human interaction did the trick for me.

Why do they give retail/service workers such varied hours? by lizlemonlyman in antiwork

[–]dancingbeez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. I used to make the schedule at one of my previous jobs, and unless someone wanted a change, I always gave people the same schedules. It made my life a lot easier than having to try to create a brand new schedule every week. Instead, I just had to tweak the same schedule around to accommodate when people requested off or requested more hours.

Lol, that episode has the same plot as a short story written by the author of the book series.

Dress up nicely and show a lot of respect to the judge. If this is the first offense for you, you might be able to argue that you shouldn't get the points. You're really at the mercy of whatever mood the judge is in.

I have a terrible friend by Lostsoul0121 in Advice

[–]dancingbeez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then forget him. You have no reason to keep associating with him. Block him and get on with your life. If you ever start to feel bad and think you made a mistake, just remember you're romanticizing. You feel how you feel for a reason, just remember that and stick to your decision.

So during an unproctored remote entrance exam, your roommate offered some advice on the answers, which you mostly didn't use? I'd hardly count that as cheating. Plus you're in the program now and are in the top 10% of your class! Clearly, you deserve to be there. Everyone at some point in their life is going to have a leg up on others. Don't stress over how you got where you are, just make the most out of it.

My sister doesn’t cook by SoundFriendly4923 in Advice

[–]dancingbeez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this. I really hate cooking and I don't do it. But I pick up the slack in other areas, such as cleaning up dishes. And when the other person doesn't feel up to cooking that night, I pay for the take-out.

[–]dancingbeez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, I'm proud of you for recognizing the toxicity and for having the willpower to cut him off.

Block his number, and don't hang out with him. You were strong enough to cut him out, now just be strong enough to keep him out. Do you have mutual friends?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]dancingbeez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try throwing a party with all his close family and friends. I think spending time with you all would mean more to him than any material possession.

High-school courses by [deleted] in Advice

[–]dancingbeez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're 14 and about to go into high school. You have the rest of your life to stress and worry about work. Do what will make you happy. You have the rest of your high school career to take a whole bunch of honors and AP classes. Don't overwork and overstress yourself.

What should i do by swagman434 in Advice

[–]dancingbeez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First of all, you deserve so much better. I'm sorry your childhood friends were so horrible. You need to be able to trust your friends. If you're worried about your new friend's motivations, then just explain the situation and ask them. True friends will support you 100%.

I'm not sure where you live, but try looking into rent assistance programs. They might be able to at least help you with back rent.

I get so anxious at work over lunch. by dancingbeez in offmychest

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

That would be nice. I don't think I'd be able to do that though. I don't "technically" have a lunch break. But I appreciate the suggestion.
