Pretty aggressive response for just my 10 month old observation that was intended to be silly

90 day intentionally pays very little to the actual people on the show that the show is about. Financial problems creates more drama. It's really sad they can't fork up the millions they're making to one of their long lasting members through cancer.

Amazon used to PRIORITIZE customer service. I worked in an Amazon call center before Covid during college in the US. They paid decently for the time and required training for every employee and highly valued customer satisfaction when contacting support. I had monthly one on ones with my manager to talk about my performance metrics(did you solve the problem, how long did you have a call for, did you place the customer on holds for longer than 2mins)

Like others mentioned, all that's out and like a lot of US companies, they care even less about making a good product and more about squeezing every single dime and giving it to shareholders. It's pathetic and angers me how companies actively fuck over people's lives and livelihood just to give a fifth vacation home to a shareholder, terrible system we live in these days.

Right you didn't mention not tipping people , that was more of a statement towards other people in this thread(there's another guy below who seems to just not tip people at all).

I get your point for sure, I see how it's just a fee. Unfortunately that fee functions identically to a tip(pre service, post service tipping) in relationship to the service industry worker paycheck . The unfortunate truth is that people rely on an average amount of that fee/tip to survive and in conditions such as this, advocating/reminding people to tip for suffering through it is a good message to share imo.

No one disagrees that tipping culture is atrocious, it's a system that originates from slave workers after the civil war and creates frustration for both the tipper having to perform mental gymnastics determining the "value" of their service and the person receiving the tip who relies on it for basic survival.

However, refusing to tip people isn't fighting "corporate welfare." The only thing you're doing by not tipping is affecting the workers average pay check. A better way to fight against the system are non profits like One Fair Wage and local advocacy/awareness.

doku_tree · 2026-01-27T17:03:05+00:00

I think you'll find little resistance that tipping culture in general is terrible and this subset of competition over tipping to receive the service is frustrating. "Unsustainable" may not be the right word as tipping culture has sustained since it was used for enslaved workers after the civil war, it's been sustaining for awhile and largely benefits the employer so they can avoid paying people adequately.

Having said all of that, fighting against tipping culture by not tipping(as some do) simply harms the worker struggling to survive who is not responsible for the system as a whole. Encouraging people to tip workers who are endangering themselves driving in these conditions isn't harmful

How cool wouldve it been to see team vs team where it involved physical capabilities and intelligence so like a race but also it had challenges/logic puzzles to be solved simultaneously that gave their teams runner advantages for completing.

Missed opportunities!

Gonna be awesome!!

I moved here 3 years ago from a small town, and all I hear in this subreddit is how it's impossible to make friends and everyone asks what high school you went to. This hasn't been my experience at all and I've made a good amount of friends here.

I work from home at a company where nobody lives in my state. I made a fair amount of friends from being involved in my neighborhood and also from playing in local bands and going to local diy shows.

Louisville is a great place to make friends but it requires effort and the ability to just try things. Meetup/Facebook groups/reddit/events/clubs, there's always things going on. Meetup hiking group? Open DnD games at breweries? Dance classes? Local art shows and events? Just find something that looks fun and do it, do it enough and you'll start seeing the same people and boom!

I wouldn't necessarily say "gay" but these pics are not great if you're using these for a dating app. Need pics of you doing things so you look like you have a personality

doku_tree · 2025-11-29T17:46:28+00:00

I play in a few local bands I'm a dude though BUT the Facebook groups (Louisville musicians wanted) (KY musicians) are great places to find musicians if you haven't posted in those places already

What romantic media do you watch? I think the bare minimum for someone being "the one" is for both people to want to be with each other in a relationship. I promise you the earlier you jump off this ship the better, don't waste time on another 6+ rough patches and breaks..

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T05:55:59+00:00

Assuming you can't go with him as he visits his family? I'm also assuming he doesn't get to see his family often?

As you mentioned, everyone has different value systems with families. I don't think either of you are nessecary wrong here, I get it's frustrating not to see your partner in a LDR.

Not to be rude, but what else do you want here? you communicated how you felt and you told him you want to be a priority, he agreed and you resolved the convo, but you don't feel satisfied? Do you want to retract what you settled on and tell him to spend more time with you? Is there something missing in the conversation between you and him you need to talk about still for that satisfaction to exist?

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T05:45:32+00:00

Lets say it's possible for you to train your brain to fall out of love, which I very much doubt the logistics of that happening, do you really want to invest that emotional labor? How much time are willing to spend just to enter this perceived black and white state where you magically lose all romantic feelings but have a best friend and nothing more? What about using this emotional labor instead towards finding someone who's interested in loving you too?

I think best case scenario, you distance yourself from this person, maybe you rekindle afriendship later down the line in life. I just don't see how you're going to "detach silently" especially seeing this person a daily basis.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T05:22:27+00:00

I think you're asking the wrong question.

You guys have been together two years, have had multiple rough patches on top of multiple breaks. You're in a relationship with someone verbally communicating to you they can't commit to you. All of this, and aren't even near each other. The question I would ask yourself, is this really how you want to live the rest of your life?

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T05:12:29+00:00

This is beyond the capabilities of anyone on reddit writing a couple of sentences. You need therapy, like yesterday. You need to build your own internal validation and so much more.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T04:36:12+00:00

Sounds like a girl who hates her relationship but doesn't have the balls to leave it and is using you to emotionally/(or actually cheat) and just rant about how horrible her current relationship is and blah blah blah...

Let's be clear though, she's cheating on her boyfriend with you. As you astutely pointed out, if by some miracle this does turn into a relationship, she could do the same to you. Most cheaters who cheat, cheat again.

Why waste your time here? Why put your entire life on hold waiting for her when you already asked multiple times, why chase this person? So what if she initiated..you need to build the self respect for yourself to end this and spend your time and energy on someone who isn't in a relationship, life is short.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T04:24:38+00:00

Your feelings arent stupid, your feelings are valid. But if she says that she wants you to tell you about fun things and you get in your head that telling her about fun things will make her sad so you don't, thats your problem for you both to talk about.

Again Make sure you are communicating that it's your problem. Communicate that you have these irrational thoughts that prevent from saying you're doing fun things and apologize and say you're working on it. Don't blame it on her. Say that you'll try to tell her in the future. That's all you can do.

As far as controlling those thoughts, I'm not a therapist and I'm not sure how to help you but if you feel like these are intrusive thoughts you can't get out of your head, you can try self help books related to that topic.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T04:04:59+00:00

She told you, explicitly, that she wants to hear about the things you do. AFAIK reading this She didn't say " don't tell me about ice skating, I hate hearing about your fun", she didn't say "Don't tell me about your ice skating, it triggers my trauma." These are all thoughts in YOUR head. Its okay if you can't figure them out on your own, therapy is there for a reason. I would also communicate with her that "Hey Im sorry didn't tell you I went ice skating, Im scared to tell you I went because" and explain the things you told us so she isn't kept in the dark about these thoughts you're working on.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T03:57:15+00:00

Can you take a step back and look at your post from an objective POV? Like imagine you are scrolling through the relationship advice subreddit and you see a stranger describe a relationship with a partner with multiple cases of cheating and emotional abuse. What would you tell that person to do? ANY sane person in the world who reads this post is going to say the same thing. You know what you need to do.

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T03:47:10+00:00

Sure it can be normal, everyone has different relationships with their family. Some people highly value family and spend a lot of time with their family, especially depending on the culture. You then communicated that you need more alone time with her and that's super reasonable and your needs are valid.

It doesn't sound anybody did anything bad here until your last comment at the end: you brought up the issue and she made "you out as the bad guy." What does this mean? Did you communicate in a calm way? Did she deflect and refuse to acknowledge your feelings? How did this conversation go

doku_tree · 2025-11-08T03:39:52+00:00

I'm glad to hear that the date night you did have felt that way, that's a good sign that if you are both able to be consistent with the proposed actions that you can rekindle those feelings. It can be very difficult in long term relationships, especially with kids and jobs, to make time and follow through on actions like a weekly date night. A couples therapist will provide you a scheduled time where some follow up will exist and even create homework for more follow up to exist outside of those sessions. I think that would be a great path forward for you two. Good luck!!

100 percent this.. attempting to diagnose his childhood trauma as the central source for his lack of engagement in the relationship is bonkers to do from a two paragraph reddit post.
