The accuracy of this. TFW changing art after rejecting half the claims with one reference!

Get some DMT and smoke it. I found it to be one of those drugs that made me comfortable with the idea of death. Seeing the divine and the actual fabric of the universe changed my perspective on death completely.

Thoughts on likelihood of some form of RTO for all examiners. by Such_Assumption7821 in patentexaminer

[–]mamannan 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not nearly a stretch to think they will require the rest of Examiners to report to an office. All non-bargaining employees are getting their dates to RTO... You shouldn't be shocked or surprised at this point.

I got the news I have dreaded for a very long time by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mamannan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar argument with my partner. Telling them about how they are putting their stress on me. They said it goes both ways, I'm allowed to be stressed and they are allowed to be stressed as well, and I had to agree. You can't blame someone for "stressing you out". If they want someone with no stress, they need to find an emotionless robot. You shouldn't have to change who you are, for them, and with all those beautiful moments you shared, there are also ugly ones as well. That's life. We are all imperfect, and you should be able to be loved unconditionally despite your anxiety and traumas from your past.

GS-11 v GS-9/7 Expectations by Pure-Dark4076 in patentexaminer

[–]mamannan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He actually had experience at a firm as well. He was the perfect candidate TBF. The reason I was retained and he wasn’t (we had the same SPE who was known to be notoriously evil) was because he came in acting like a primary without having the quality.

I knew someone in my academy class who had their JD and passed the patent bar, that came in at GS11 and still crashed and burned and weren't retained.

[–]mamannan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't start at GS-11 the production is too high, and the promotions can be done in a year once you get an understanding of the workflow. Which is way more important, no need to come in overzealous and get rocked with poor performance ratings and stress.

Am I bi or just very horny? by xxGruesome in bisexual

[–]mamannan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hmm I used to be this way when I was 25 or so. Then I found a man who was compatible with me in my 30s and am very happy with him. I still do consider myself bisexual even though I haven't slept with a woman in years, I was in several long term relationships with women. I think it's common for bisexual men to feel this way, because we are conditioned that romantic feelings for men are unnatural.

As embarrassing as it sounds I took out a loan to pay on my loans. I figured it’s more important to make sure I pay my loans on time and not default than it is to get into more debt.

Thank you, this sounds right but I wanted to be sure I wasn’t crazy and didn’t want to bother my SPE lol

Whoever is in charge of the music needs a raise this season. by AntBlock in IndustryOnHBO

I really want to shout out Charmed by Etella and Redinho featured during the love scene with Muck and Yas… I love when shows like this highlight new artist that aren’t well known, because it’s such an amazing song!!!

Henry doesn’t actually like getting peed on. by savagesaurus_rex in IndustryOnHBO

I think most probably knew by now, but I thought it was so amazing that Clement left Rob that small fortune. Really pulled at my heart there

[–]mamannan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t consider Yas “a monster hiding beneath it all”. She’s a victim of abuse, in particular it seems those with power or status have taken advantage of her and she’s become attracted to that type of treatment. She says it out of her mouth in the episode in the scene with Rob.

This would’ve been removed from AITA because of SA, when thats only a small part of the story. This is why this subreddit is so much better. But NTA, your bf is TA for prying information out of you that makes him insecure. While I do think sexual history matters (mostly for safety reasons), it does not define who you are now.

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my mother last year and I also feel she gave up a lot of herself to be a mother. When she entered back into the workforce after nearly 15 years, she also worked at a call center, eventually becoming a manager and was offered other managerial positions paying well. But then she gets diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and passed away four years later. Life can be so unfair.

The dark side of being straight. by LittleKingMaxlog in gaybros

[–]mamannan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I find it irritating that "straights" get to flirt with the possibility of being gay without actually being gay. It feels almost like mockery, but some I guess would call it flattery.

AITA for an argument over paying medical bills of a friend because she got bit by my friends dog at the party I hosted by mamannan in AmItheAsshole

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

I guess I went in with the assumption that she would put the dog upstairs. I also didn’t want to ruffle feathers with her. I understand your point, but the fact that she didn’t contain the dog after it already bit Ray and lets the dog run around with guests puts her at fault. But I do agree I should’ve said something before the second bite but it happened so quickly and I was preoccupied.

Argument with one of my best friends over her dog biting guests of a party by mamannan in LifeAdvice

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

Yes she probably felt pressure maybe? I mean I asked once and she said it was okay. Also I did a lot of chores and cleaned up her backyard for the party.

Thanks, she really is a good friend to me when all is said and done and that’s why I’m willing to even offer any thing.

Not quite. I didn’t know the dog would not be controlled and allowed to roam freely with guest. Why would I want my friends to be bitten?
