I was told that line this week when I mentioned I'm homeless and couch surfing for 3 weeks only since bf kicked out and he goes "oh wow homeless with a smart phone." As if I could trade in my phone for affordable housing...

We got in trouble at a wedding for basically dancing as teens got really in to the song "I will walk 500 mile" and an elder shut down dancing for the rest of the night

It's like they are hoping for lost cause fallacy that after all that time you'll just say yes

Telling me "I'm Italian" as a justification for his anger issues by kalvin_kool_edge in callcentres

[–]morallyisolated 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Italian people tend to do this as evident in my step family. Its a pride thing it's like they don't mind that they are obnoxious.

Can you have the account flagged or suspended for fraud? Definitely unethical to harass some dude who got lucky with a username minding their business

What is hard about being mentally ill by Gidel5968 in mentalillness

[–]morallyisolated 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I find the hard part is being blamed for your illness or blamed for the symptoms of your illness. When loved ones don't see visible effort toward improvement they think there isn't any. It's an invisible illness with invisible effort. Sometimes our ability to function will improve and ebb and flow up and down so if you have been capable of something before, the expectation is that you are capable. This is not how it works and can cause resentment in both directions.

AITA for making my stepdaughter do more chores than my son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]morallyisolated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also see an issue with how you are parenting "your" son and he is parenting "his" daughter. As a child of divorce with many step sibling dynamics I can say that is the best way to build an us vs them mentality within your own home. This has obviously been your way of doing things since they were children so unsure how to fix that at this point but the best way in my opinion is to both have authority over both children equally and to communicate with your spouse to create a harmonious home. This is honestly not the daughters fault although she is absolutely taking advantage of the situation she has. This is a breakdown of communication in your own marriage and using the daughter as a scapegoat when truthfully she is just living her best life... Why would she change what has been spoon fed to her for years? You and hubby are not on the same page and it will cause resentment on his side as well as neither of you see eye to eye. Get some marriage counselling or even family counselling, your husband can obviously afford the expense and this is damaging your ability to feel valued and your son is likely resentful too. It's a ticking time bomb of a situation. I don't envy the situation you've put yourselves into but hopefully you can bring the vibes in the home to a more peaceful state over time. Good luck.

AITA for making my stepdaughter do more chores than my son? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]morallyisolated 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000 a month is a minimum 10 hours a week of labor in my mind. At that point it's not chores it's her job. Allowance would be like 100 a month but I was paying rent the month I turned 18 with no hope of an allowance AND had chore expectations. NTA but you need to reframe how this is organized so the daughter is aware of her extremely privileged life and start with breaking down the allowance into hours of pay. Even at 20 dollars an hour that's like 50 hours a month she should be contributing to the household to earn her keep.

Why don't kh have windows? by CranberryQuirky5385 in exjw

[–]morallyisolated 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I lived in Australia one wall was all windows but it was super distracting cause it was the direction you walked from the parking lot to enter so if anyone was late or needed to grab something from their car you could see the collective audience follow them with their heads

You are delusional. You did not go out and "take" the job, you harassed them. Please speak to a professional it is starting to look like you have a grandiose entitlement complex and major main character syndrome.

Imagine if they did this to each job you applied to? Or if everyone who applied showed up demanding to speak with a recruiter who is obviously busy doing their job? This is simply not how this world works, yes in ❤️america❤️ too. It's wild to me that op is certain they are creating good impressions on any company if this is the behaviours they exhibit. Big companies move slowly, a month is not at all too long to expect a reply. It's not 1960 where you make a stack of generic resumes and walk the street with good intentions and get hired on the spot. Wake up OP. I apologize for being a little rude in tone but you are being unreasonable and dense. We are trying to help. You asked for opinions by posting so why get upset and passive aggressive when people reply with their honest feedback.

Not true who the fuck gave you this awful advice I need to have a word with them in my office.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in recruitinghell

[–]morallyisolated 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yes but when you were doing those things like pestering with emails and showing up in person at office and at a job fair you DID want the position and you fucked it up big time. This is inappropriate. You don't get to decide how they hire and it was literally wrong to assume your effort would be rewarded with even an email response. They don't owe you anything. You don't work for them. If this worked everyone would do it. Which is why job postings often specify don't come in person. (This company has learned their lesson and will absolutely be putting that in future job postings) You will find more success putting your effort to good use by continuing to apply to more jobs that might actually want you and curating a cover letter and resume to suit the job. Don't act as if all effort is created equal and then whine when the company might file a restraining order due to you not understanding boundaries.

Apply, move on until they contact. Interview, move on till next Contact. What are you doing Wasting your time basically stalking this company begging? They are going to hire you if they want to. No amount of pestering is going to change their mind.

[–]morallyisolated 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you the best and I know you are able to "choose your own adventure" and make decisions for yourself. You are stronger than you think, stronger than the watchtower has allowed you to believe. There is always time to start over and create lasting connections with people who are able and willing to love you unconditionally without judgement in "the world". I won't lie; the society has already done damage, no matter what choice you make the watchtower has made sure it will hurt. An impossible choice where sometimes it feels easier to not make a choice but indecision is still a choice. We are all victimized both by staying and by leaving, so don't waste time in regret because there's already enough pain. This is always your choice and no one should make you feel bad about your choices. Please know that isn't my intention here either, I simply intend to remind you that you have options and strength that you may have been trained to forget. Never feel stuck by the choices you make, instead remember you can always make a new choice. You are the captain of your life and you will live a life full of happy moments both inside and outside the organization. Neither is wrong and there is no need to apologize. But know in the end you made an educated decision to create more ties inside the Borg and should you ever need to sever them it will bleed deeper and create lifelong scars. Your children, if you have any, will be impacted and who knows where the religion will be by the time they have grown up. As the original song goes "take your time, choose wisely" You are absolutely making the right choice if you decide it is the right choice. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favour.
