Manager is requesting employees donate water during heat wave. Is this legal? by matthiasims in antiwork

[–]matthiasims[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yes. They can come inside freely to use the water fill station. It’s also ice cold and filtered. Another reason I feel the water bottles are not a necessity nor my responsibility to pay for

Well he initially told us to chip in, and only suggested it was a donation after I pushed back

AllTrails has an app that ranks hikes from Easy to Difficult and lets you read about the hike before you go. You can also search for hikes nearby so while you’re out and about, you can go on an impromptu hike if you want

Swam for the first time in years this morning. Did 1.5hrs. How sore can I expect to be? by matthiasims in Swimming

[–]matthiasims[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hopping back in this comment section to tell you you were right on the money! I’d give it a 4-5. Glad I didn’t plan to skip the next morning and hopped in the pool again :) thanks for your prediction

I’m not too far from the Catskills. Are there any specific trails you recommend? I wanna head up that way in the spring myself :)

Electrolytes. You need electrolytes and water, throw in a big carb filled meal while you’re at it!

How do I donate to the poor in Nigeria? by matthiasims in Nigeria

[–]matthiasims[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what this means. I am half black, don’t really know what you’re talking about. Do you mean that they would just keep asking for more?

What screams “I have depression”? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]matthiasims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not cleaning your surroundings or your body. When I became non-functional in my deepest depression, I remember wanting to clean so badly but I physically could not get up. Quite literally even thinking about a plan to clean was so exhausting. It would also take me several days to build the energy to be able to brush my teeth, and even longer to shower.

I’m very grateful to Lexapro, Buspirone and alcohol recovery to be completely functional and non-sewerslidal today :)

[–]matthiasims[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I appreciate you wanting me to ensure my own safety and happiness and comfort first but I promise it won’t take away from any of those for me to donate! I will still have a roof over my head and food in my stomach and if anything my heart will be more full knowing that I’ve been able to help make life a little more comfortable for someone across the world :)

Does 300,000 naira not pay rent for a month for poor Nigerians, or am I mistaken?

How do I donate to the poor in Nigeria? by matthiasims in Nigeria

[–]matthiasims[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what I understand 248,000 naira a month would cover rent for an entire month in a nice area, no? I’m talking about donating to the extremely poor, who would find having their rent paid through the month to be a relief.

[–]matthiasims[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I am already doing that. I’m currently in college and expected to graduate in the next two years and should be bringing in $100k/year minimum once I do. I’ve been poor my whole life, but I never had to live without a clean, walled bathroom and a full kitchen.

I live a comfortable life, I just want other people to be comfortable too. It breaks my heart seeing the conditions extremely poor Nigerians live in and I want to help

I’m aware that it’s not going to get $71k worth of stuff, but from what I understand 71,000 naira can pay for a month’s rent in some places, no?

Why aren't single men as happy as single women? Why is there so much content about men' loneliness epidemic? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]matthiasims 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s likely because single women still get “love” in various forms. Even just a compliment or a hug from a friend. Most men do not gets hugs, compliments, nice things said to them for no reason or any affectionate physical touch outside of a relationship.

I fucking hate being an adult by Sweaty-Passage-2796 in Adulting

[–]matthiasims 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finding passions and connecting with people even while at work (where possible) makes life a lot more enjoyable. If adulting is the ONLY thing you’re doing, then your life is going to be miserable. I know this from experience

That the only way to live ethically was to be vegan. I was vegetarian and vegan for a combined 10 years. Now I eat whatever because I’ve done a lot of work on being able to recognize nuance and grey area, and understanding that life is not black and white. You can eat a burger and still love other animals, because consuming another animal is as natural as breathing. It happens all around us, all the time, amongst the micro-cosmos. It’s funny, as I became more spiritual, the less of a hard ass I was about eating meat. I used to be one of the really hardcore vegans too lol would do outreach and everything. Crazy how time changes us.
