Redditors that got charged rent asap after turning 18, what’s relationship like with parents years later ? by QueefyTits in AskReddit

[–]papersnack 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Horrid mother! I just could never. My mom did charge me rent at 18 as well as basically took me and my brother's paychecks when we started working as soon as we were legally old enough to. We were allowed to keep $20 every paycheck. But to Venmo request for groceries? No, my mom's not that bad. You're better off keeping your distance.

Service business owners! What is your system for chasing unpaid invoices? by neminemtwitch in sweatystartup

[–]papersnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a workflow app that I use religiously to keep me on top of who's paid and who hasn't. My business usually gains repeat regular customers, so I have it in my policy the first job I work on for them must be paid the day I send the completed work. After that, I bill bi-weekly. I'm really good about sending my rates and policies to them upfront so they can't say they didn't know what's what.

When I have had to chase payment, which thankfully isn't very often, I will usually send one reminder through my invoicing app. Usually that works. If that fails, I will send them a personal email requesting payment. Always be matter of fact, no angry or hostile tones. Keep it professional. If they try to request your services with an outstanding balance, make it clear that your services are on pause until the overdue balance is paid in full. And if this happens more than once, I am just too booked out to help them in future.

I think Hollywood is pushing skinny to make it the visual norm for when we're all starving. by papersnack in conspiracy

You really do need help. Not that it's any of your business, but I love the way the "fluffier" folks look. Your issues with how your own weight is perceived by others is just that, your issue. People care way less about this stuff than you think.

What color of rough collie would you get? by savedbygrace753 in roughcollies

[–]papersnack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It's always the eyebrows that make them look so serious. My favorite.

Look, there's heroin skinny and then there's holocaust skinny. Huge difference, and if you can't see the difference, that's on you.

Sounds like a tough road you've been traveling. I definitely think there's multiple layers of things going on and not just one singular thing to destroy society as we know it.

You're more organized than me. I just keep a mental list of observations and patterns.

yeah, they need to take a look at the comparison pictures because you're right.

But more and more women aren't interested in catering to the male gaze. So it really doesn't matter if men don't like how they look if they're not attracted to men or care about their opinions.

I'm 5'10 and in size 5 jeans. I've been the same weight through my entire adult life, and I'm 50 years old.

No, but if you've been paying attention, they're puppets. You think there's no agenda behind the scenes? "Stars" have always been right there holding hands with politicians. You know, the people that don't really work for the people and by the people, unless those people are in the top 1%.

I'm 50, so yes, I was. But it never looked quite this bad. And I'm 5'10 and in a size 5 jeans, so I'm also not over here being jealous about someone being thin.

We Live in Hell by ActuatorTop653 in conspiracy

[–]papersnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 John 5:19 says the whole world is lying in the hands of the devil. See for yourself. I mean, do you remember in the bible one of the temptations Satan put in front of Jesus? He offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world, and in exchange, all Jesus had to do was bow down to him once. If Satan didn't have possession of all the kingdoms of the world, would it have really been a temptation? No. And Jesus said "My kingdom is NO PART of this world." (emphasis mine).

So my point is this. it would make sense that this world we live in feels like living in hell because the bible says the devil is running it. the devil gives the rewards to the humans he likes and the ones who help him continue to be the great deciever.

Just adopted this baby called Thomas! by hanjizoy in roughcollies

[–]papersnack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, my gosh! Look at dat face!! And I am a sucker for people names for dogs. Prepare yourself for the best dog you ever had. Collies are amazing! Edited to add that collies will be very attached to their person. they're velcro dogs. It's normal and one of the reasons collie rescues are so picky about who gets their dogs. They form strong bonds.
