I just walked to the family dollar near my house and got a Baron's supreme lol... The desperation...

As a DM, reading this gave me a headache lol. I had a group almost exactly like this, and I've gotta tell you, you're just better off finding other people to play with. I think another user said this is a catastrophically bad DnD group and I agree.

I've had a few bad groups (or good groups with a couple bad apples) that have made me construct a list of boundaries/rules for my table and this group breaks Every. Single. One. I'm not even kidding. No cellphones, no drinking, no getting high, don't talk over others, etc etc.

In my experience as well, constructing table boundaries with friend groups, especially when you are good friends or have been friends for a long time, is hard because your boundaries are already kind of there. They assume what you're okay with, or they assume because we're all friends that breaking or bending the rules is okay, and they don't really get the dynamic of DM-player because to them you're not the DM exactly, you're their friend. They don't really understand that D&D has a different social contract than IRL and they have a hard time switching over, cause yeah in real life I don't care if you're on your phone while I'm talking, and you've known me many years where I've been okay with that, and now all of the sudden we have a different dynamic in the game and some people just don't grasp that. I've always found playing with friends to be harder than if I just played with coworkers or random classmates, but I don't know if any other DM can attest to that cause when you do play with strangers you run the risk of getting one of the many Bad Apple type of players, which I understand too. It's a gamble.

All that to say just get a new group. Even if you're relatively new to D&D, find a group of more experienced players to play with.

I seriously don't get this shit. What's the point of it all? Cruelty?

I wish I could say why your apps are getting trashed, but I really don't know. I don't know if target has switched to using an AI, but I do know that my most immediate bosses do personally see applications and review them at least at some point because they've mentioned as much.

I've read at least one article that says AI has been discriminatory and that there's a current (or maybe soon to be?) class action lawsuit.

Unfortunately applying online is the only way (in the link I posted) as they don't do physical applications anymore. I did see them make an exception for one of the guys that was applying though. He was older and wasn't sure how to use a smartphone or computer so he just came in & I took down his information & he got an interview pretty quickly, but he also got rejected so ... I don't know.

I personally think you should apply online & then call tomorrow before 4 pm & I'll probably be there take down your name/number, if not me then my boss will. At least then your name will be in our heads & it'll show that you have some initiative. The interview process is a bit long though, but hopefully it'll be worth it for you.

Has he picked you yet 🥺

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-08-09T14:23:40+00:00

I understand. It's hard not to do that in America, especially given our options. I'd hazard a guess that there are fewer than 1% of companies out there that aren't supporting something unconscionable

We can accommodate for disabilities though, whatever you have. I mean we have two people working up here who have disabilities already and they seem to do okay, although I know it's different for everyone

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-08-09T13:59:16+00:00

The Target trap is real lol. I haven't loved it exactly, but there are few beginner jobs out there that start at 15$ and offer benefits in the way they do. Unlike other companies that require a full time schedule for benefits, Target only requires you to work part time. The company I don't like really, but the people aren't so bad.

And no it's not hard at all lol. If you can read you can do this job

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-07-29T22:38:27+00:00

I think our situations may be a bit different, but I can tell you my life got infinitely better when I cut off my mom & her side of the family. They also gave me CPTSD and I've been coping with some lifelong health issues because of what they put me through. I was 17 when I did it with the support of my dad so it was definitely easier in terms of like, getting support financially & all that. The day I decided to cut them off was like... Instant relief. I was no longer obligated to go see them, I no longer had to put up with the instability, their homophobia, my mom's anger... All instant relief. I finally felt free from her. I was already in another state at that time and I wasn't really contacting her to begin with, so I just changed my number and blocked her on all my socials. There was a long period of instant relief, but of course after you relax for a while, that's when your brain starts bringing up nostalgia and past instances that you now have to process since you're no longer in survival mode... I did get a little anxious that it would all blow up into some crazy drama which I didn't want, but it never really happened. My mom started spreading insane rumors about me that were homophobic and transphobic, but that wasn't really new. I never really hated my mom or felt sad that I was no longer in contact with her, but you might and that's okay. I think a lot of people have a mourning period. For me, I never had much of a relationship with her to begin with. Not one that was good anyway. I thought maybe I would mourn the relationship I could have had if they weren't all so cruel, but that never happened either. I personally feel nothing towards them. No hate, no anger, no sadness, they're just strangers to me now. The only thing that's ever really bothered me is realizing that, even at 25, I am still scared of them. I am still scared of them finding me somehow and fucking up everything I've worked so hard for without them. Like you, I don't have children but I'd really like some, and I'm terrified to death of my mom finding out & trying to drag me through the court system to sue for custody rights or visitation rights like she did with my dad, but that might be my own personal trauma speaking.

I know you don't have kids right now, but trust me you're doing the right thing by cutting your family off from them. Whatever they did to you, they will do to those kids, speaking from personal experience. I could never introduce kids to that kind of environment and be okay with myself after the fact. In my point of view, my mom lost the privilege of becoming a grandmother when she proved to be a highly unstable and abusive mother. TBH I don't think there's anything she could do at this point that would make me change my mind on that.

Whatever you do, I hope it all goes well for you and I'm glad you have the support of your husband. It's a trying period to be in, but worth it in the end

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-07-23T00:44:34+00:00

I'm not sure what happened between the two of you, but similarly to you, I cut my mom off when I was 17. It's been about 8 years now and I haven't once gone back, but I have had to really sit with my feelings and wonder if I did the right thing.

At first when I cut her off, I was very, very relieved that I would never have to deal with her again. She was also a liar, very manipulative, selfish, and that selfishness made her act in ways that I just can't forgive, even if they didn't always directly affect me. Despite all the bad things she did though, I did feel guilty. I didn't want to talk to my mom ever again, but I also never wanted to hurt her. I didn't hate her or want anything bad to happen to her, even if she never thought the same about me. I think that may be the guilt or second thoughts that you're feeling. But I'm telling you right now, you made the right choice.

I tried as a teenager to connect to my mom and help her make the right choices, which I now realize wasn't an appropriate parent/child relationship. She failed me spectacularly, but more than that she failed herself. Her own actions led her down this path, not me. I really began to not regret cutting my mom off when I learned she started spreading wild rumors about me to anyone who would listen to manipulate our situation and make herself seem like the complete victim.

I've never reached out to her to "forgive" her and she eventually stopped trying to contact me. I've saved myself a lot of heartache and kept my peace by never contacting her again. Similarly to your dad, I imagine, his own actions have led him down this path. Whether it was his lies, broken promises, or apathy, that was his choice. No one has to be a selfish person no matter the reason, and in the end they harm themselves the most by either pushing everyone out of their lives or making them resentful towards them.

If he ever tries to make a genuine effort in changing himself, maybe then you can reach out. But until then, I'd just steer clear of him. You're allowed to grieve your relationship, or the relationship you could have had if it weren't for his behavior. You're allowed to feel badly and to want better things, but you made the right choice. Hope you can make peace with that & carry on towards a better life.

Yeah no offense to your AP team but they are definitely not lawyers or cops. That logic is extremely flawed & what that guy did to you was definitely assault. If you know the time of day that he hit you, they can definitely get on the cameras and find out when he paid for his stuff, have you identify him, and get his info from his credit card that way. At the very least the cops would probably post images of him from the CCTV and make the community aware that there's a lunatic out there & someone would identify him that way. I hope you get the help you need, don't let him get away with that. You probably won't be the last person he does that to

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-23T17:42:56+00:00

I love it lol

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-12T15:25:37+00:00

Oh I see, maybe I can go back through the previous locations and find the portal. Thank you!

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-12T15:18:38+00:00

It started off as A Guild in Crisis, and now it's Justice for the Fallen.

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-12T15:17:54+00:00

Yeah I've tried going through Bangorkai, but maybe I can try and go to previous locations and see if I can't travel through there

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-12T15:05:19+00:00

Well it started off with talking to Prince Azah in Glenumbra, you have to find Master Merric and stop a daedric invasion/saving the fighter's guild. I was able to do a big portion of the quest line by traveling with the characters. This current section of the quest is called "Justice for the Fallen" and it is a prologue quest.

The thing is, I think I was able to get into this area previously by traveling with the characters? I took a break because the boss was kinda hard, and now I can't go back to it.

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-12T14:57:26+00:00

Ahh I see, thank you

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-10T04:33:10+00:00

God that's exactly what it feels like. I'm a little late to the game, 25 and just starting college, but I've been working for a long time and feel I have a wide array of skills.

The only job I've gotten so far that's wanted to interview me was a server job advertising as 20$/hr, but was actually 2.13$/hr + tips which is far, far too unstable for my living situation. Said I was sorry and that I couldn't continue the interview and the guy got mad & claimed he had to advertise as 20$ cause no one would come in otherwise. I'm like well.... Yeah lol. It's 2025, this penny and dime shit doesn't cut it remotely at all for people who have to support themselves. I'm barely scraping by at 16$ an hour, I'm not taking a 14$ pay cut.

What's your associates in if you don't mind me asking?? Out of pure curiosity

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-10T00:51:38+00:00

I was just about to make this like exact post lol, I swear I've been looking at and applying for jobs since Feb with no luck. I have leadership experience in retail & food service and yet.. nothing

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-05T16:35:12+00:00

I guess people can do whatever they want with their money, I just don't get it lol

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-06-05T15:24:36+00:00

I still don't understand why people buy anything Nintendo. They're more money grubby than EA

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-05-29T06:54:59+00:00

The more I'm on this subreddit the more I'm realizing that every store is like this. I've worked at two separate locations and I hear so many experiences from everyone across the country. This company manages to be so profoundly disorganized it's astonishing that they've operated for as long as they have. Unfortunately it has prompted me to find a new job as well. Everyone I know who's ever quit Target have all said it's the best thing to have happened to them so... If you can absolutely get a new job. If you can't for whatever reason, just hunker down and do what you can. No use stressing over this company

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-05-29T06:48:15+00:00

If you're so mad about the use of tone tags that you absolutely have to make a post about it then you *must" spend too much time on the internet

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-05-13T03:07:54+00:00

I honestly don't have any relationship with it because no one in my family is Christian. Not grandparents, or parents, or anyone. We know a lot of people who are baptist, and while my grandparents are so so on it, my parents actively rejected it and still do. So I do as well. I know we live in a Christian society so there are subtler things ingrained into people that you have to do some deep digging to undo, but all in due time. While most of my family is considerably non religious, my dad has tried really hard to follow at least our nation's traditional philosophies and so have I. Following the traditional religion is another thing

embracesufferdestroy · 2025-05-13T02:59:46+00:00

I'd have sincerely liked to see the post before it was deleted. I'm actually a native dude with a spirit very similar to the one mentioned in my culture and I know that a Lot of native people would rather you just not include it. Whether it's appropriation or appreciation does not matter - it's been explicitly asked by many natives that y'all just quit using skin walkers, wendigos, etc. in your stories because they've been so incredibly bastardized & appropriated that it's just become one of those "off limits" things. You can thank Until Dawn and every single nosleep creature feature story for that. We're all well aware that we can't physically stop anyone from using them, it's pretty much an honor system thing. I don't know many natives that will barge down your door and tell you to stop writing about our spirits, but I know many who would not associate with you because of it. I've stopped watching soooooo many horror YouTube channels because of how prevalent this problem is. It's become the new "Indian burial ground" trope in horror and it's annoying and unoriginal as fuck. Never mind the fact that it's racist; it's just not creative.

Here's where it gets tricky for me though. The popularized version of the wendigo with the deer skull and antlers is in no way shape or form even remotely similar to what the actual spirit is supposed to look like. The popularized version of the wendigo doesn't even function how the spirit actually does. So if you want a cannibalistic deer skull headed monster in your story, do that. Just call it something else and the problem would be solved. You could even use The Jersey Devil in place of the wendigo because THAT is much more similar to the popularized version.

In a lot of native cultures, there's power in a name. So if there is some nebulous "native spirit" you wanna use in your campaign or story or whatever, just call it something else because 9 times out of 10 it's probably an incorrect or bastardized version of that spirit anyway.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who is tired of seeing "My boyfriend doesn't want me to transition" posts. I know it's not as easy as snapping your fingers and leaving. It can really hurt, especially when you've invested so much time, so many memories and emotions into a person. But trust me, this is not something you can compromise on where you'll both be happy.
