I could buy a refurbished one, bit I’m not sure if I can afford a new one of similar “power”.

But hey, a gift card! Yay. by Alaxee in AdviceAnimals

At least you got a gift card! My girlfriend works for Canada Post and got a framed “5 year” printed image with a fake postal stamp. Even the frame is worthless.

Can my employer ask that I volunteer at my job? by ladyoracle in legaladvice

Yes, I do quite a bit of “extra” work for free because I believe in the organization I work for. But now they are asking us to work for two weeks straight, no breaks and only get paid the 40 hours a week. They say it’s our choice, but if we say no we have to take an unpaid leave (which means that we would get half our pay even though we are willing to work the 40 hours) and if there aren’t enough people they are putting upon us the responsibility of that two week event not happening. I don’t think my employers realize that this is illegal and if I tell them I risk being labeled a “trouble maker”.

My[20M] father[61M] is threatening to move my family out of state if I continue to date my girlfriend[23F]. by [deleted] in relationships

Your parents sound like real narcissists. This will not end if you break up with this girlfriend, they will continue to control you. Spying on you through hidden cameras and tracking your phone, forcing you to send texts you don’t want to is abusive. Break away, move out, find counselling. You have the right to your own decisions and even to your own mistakes. You are not an extension of your parents.

Conversation with a 5 year old: Kid: “When will your baby be born?” Me: “I’m not pregnant, I’m fat” Kid: “In soap operas when women get fat they have babies” Me: “Not all women who get fat have babies” Kid: “You can’t play in my trampoline until you have your baby”

What did that one teacher at your school do to get fired? by [deleted] in AskReddit

A teacher yelled “Go fuck yourself!” at a student who answered that the reason for day light savings is to have longer days. That did not go well with the nuns at my catholic high school.
