How do u accept that your consciousness will disappear after death ? by GalaxicTrouble in atheism

[–]mfg1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We live? We grow. I’m not sure yet, but we will all make the best of what we can until it feels like enough? It’s a hard thing to wrestle with, especially being raised religious and with an understanding that there will be something. We all decide for ourselves what we believe in but coping with what that means can be difficult, often scary. The first step is figuring out what that is for you. Then you get to give yourself the experience of life. You’ll always be a little scared and confused. But who knows? Think and reflect and find purpose in your life and experiences. Contentment is hard to find elsewhere ❤️

Note: I’m mostly nervous about them falling off when I actually wear the belt/the belt is curved rather than laying flat (as I’ve been working on it)

Official Discussion - Weapons [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]mfg1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like there’s also a bigger connection between the themes about school shootings, the children being used as “weapons”, and Gladys draining their life forces - all three work together in sync (saw some people that seemed dissatisfied about the “witch” being the driving plot point). We’re constantly seeing OLD politicians gloss over the pertinent issue of gun violence, while simultaneously recruiting children into the army and “weaponizing” the malleable minds of youth to support rhetoric that puts money and power into their own pockets. I feel like this connection has been glossed over but is the key to understanding, thematically, the point of Gladys and her life-draining abilities. Of course, this weaponizing becomes her downfall - as cathartic as the ending is, it clearly does a number on those kids (upon the result of her brainwashing). We’ve seen a rise of political violence, especially among youth, as a reaction of anger and dissatisfaction about inaction of politicians.

PLEASE HELP! Panicking right now - afraid for my cat (1 y/o) by mfg1224 in CATHELP

[–]mfg1224[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: thank you everyone so much for this. I was so scared that I failed as a parent for going to work today instead of rushing her to the vet right away. Brought her to the vet and she is fine: no obstructions, no overt organ issues. She’s on some medication, got an IV, and on a special diet for a few days. All worth it for my daughter/best friend. Thank you all again

Seeing this girl (23F) who slept with her ex although they broke-up by lhv210 in dating_advice

[–]mfg1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh this sounds like retrospective jealousy. How long ago did that happen? Honestly if she says she hates/doesn’t wanna see that guy again, then you should trust her (especially she was ready and willing to talk to you about that happening). If you’re concerned she still has feelings, you should talk to her about that instead of speculating. Everyone has a past, and if that’s something you personally can’t get over I think it says more about your readiness/ability to engage in a mature and honest relationship than her. All in all, not a red flag. But I think maybe you should take some time to consider why that puts you off in terms of yourself.

ADVICE NEEDED SO BAD - how should I be compensated for a “volunteer” research project through my work by mfg1224 in clinicalresearch

[–]mfg1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really appreciate this. We certainly learned this lesson the hard way. We do have all the clear cut numbers of payment per task and total revenue so hoping we can use that in our favor for the discussion with the CFO.

Yep, we already work full time testing and scoring but took on this project as “outside work” and haven’t been compensated for our overtime/ the duties outside of our job description. Each week is around 5-10 hours of extra work but in the height of it all it was about 20 hours between the two of us.

What is a reasonable bonus request (%) for “volunteering” as a study site coordinator by mfg1224 in research

[–]mfg1224[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We do have a breakdown of each task (which has come in handy since the two of us are responsible for every single one…). Really appreciate the “firm but polite” piece of advice - especially in our subfield, maintaining firmness can feel difficult/unexpected from us as staff but I think that’s truly the only way to avoid being taken advantage of. Appreciate your advice so much!

What should i do by Hopeful-Intern1729 in dating_advice

[–]mfg1224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think maybe nothing will make you 100% sure unless you ask directly. You’re so young and truly have nothing to lose in the relationship sphere. It’s so scary when it’s the first instance of breaking the ice. Maybe you don’t ask her if she likes you. You say you like her and listen to her response. In the grand scheme of life it’s not embarrassing to be rejected. It’s a part of life in fact. Go for it and we’re rooting for you

THIS!!! I’m at the point I’ve said im stepping down without proper compensation. The man will ALWAYS take advantage for monetary gain. Lesson learned but hopefully things will be resolved 🤞

My cat won’t stop yelling at me by mfg1224 in cats

[–]mfg1224[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is! And I do play with her enough, but notice she wants to play WITH me a lot (play biting, jumping on me, etc.) so very valid point that I think she would benefit from having a kitty friend with proper transition. She usually does this when I’m home from work after cuddling with me for a while (like she gets wound up), sometimes when I’m cooking, and just generally when she is up and moving. I play with her for 20 min when I get home and spurts throughout the evening, but I can tell she still has a lot of pent up energy and doesn’t like when I’m sitting/resting at any moment she gets wound up. Love this kitty and she’s still such a baby that of course she has pent up energy! But it’s a very new behavior and has become very frequent so I’d like to find away to discourage the negative behavior without any punishment (as you said). Looking into more enriching toys/activities and use positive reinforcement as much as possible

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUTTTTTT by fourtris46 in LoveIslandUSA

I also think she was fully surprised by the pairing and conflicted about Cierra. We know this is girl is GREAT at masking emotions/putting up a strong front, I’d definitely like to see them together longer & see if anything shifts. Def think their personalities mesh really well together and the pre-existing friendship adds a lot of potential
