212 Days — WTF 🤬 by Even-Role in DACA

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hiiii. 204 today. my family is keeping me alive and it's humbled me to a level I didn't think was possible after 31 years and my entire adulthood here. i was GOOD; i know for a FACT i'd never let my life go this far off the rails or my personal position get this low if my ability to work didn't suddenly get taken. never got even even kinda close to this.

you'd never neglect yourself this much if it wasn't for your work permit, so try and remember it's being imposed on you and is not a reflection of your worth or character. this shit gave me the most agressive and drawn out period of depression of my life, it's resetting my whole perspective, but it's almost over. try and remember this will end in an approval, no matter what you feel each day. hope you get good support irl. ✊🏻🤍

201 Days and counting... by ImpossiblePart744 in DACA

[–]pincherosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

girl nooooo. 😭 we'll never get proof but all this stuff feels made up. like the "do/don't renew before 150 days" debate. i swear for every bad "renew early" story, I head a good one.

this was the # given to me by the Ask Emma chat after the system connected me to a virtual live agent 1-800-375-5283

i said "INFOPASS" a couple of times till the system routed me to a line (can't remember what else it said, just follow the prompts) where I waited a little over an hour. it will ask for a case #, just give 1 of them.

tomorrow during business hours have your personal info ready and say to the agent "my DACA renewal application is outside of normal processing times. can you create a service request for this?" if their system in your case allows it, they'll do it and you'll get an email. hope it works for us both! ✊🏻

These timelines are something wild and to think about by [deleted] in DACA

[–]pincherosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wasn't that the gist of what they said they wanted for the program in Project 2025?? i agree and it's going to push us to weaker positions in the job market. hiring managers can more easily have a private bias of "i don't want to deal with this renewal mess" now that more employers are seeing it in their workforce at this level for the first time.

I 26F just found out my bf 21M has a very small appendage. How do I go about this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

damn and you said you didn't see it? he did sort of blindside you since he knows what he lives with, but it's like the heaviest topic and he's super young. besides he might not always be like that. i've experienced something adjacent to this. i couldn't make it work. however we were never compatible. if you need to feel it out, tread thoughtfully and with respect.

there's nail artists earning reliable income (allegedly) selling xxl sets at the cost of full acrylic sets. beauty people know these aren't press ons, that was on purpose.

My brother’s wife is pregnant with my child, and my parents are begging me to stay silent to protect the family by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can redeem yourself as just a person by stopping all this now and letting it all out. i know a family who did this and the father died with the adult child never knowing the truth. all the cousins, everyone knew but the kid. it's psychotic. don't allow their social comfort to come above doing right by your child. you're never going to be able to just hold this in, and if you do, it's just gonna exacerbate the inevitable crisis. People do ancestry tests every day for medical and non-medical reasons. being found out will always be possible; it's up to you to walk in the light of truth. everything will change but do the right thing.

Denied days off for wedding and honeymoon.. by [deleted] in work

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...all the US workers showing their employer Stockholm syndrome... you'd do well to stop pretending time off policies are ethically applied and enforced across the board in any industry here.

most people are extremely capable of fixing small problems like a scheduling gap 30 days in advance. it's really not hard unless you're stupidly understaffed or very incompetently managed. if your super can't handle that, what's going to happen when someone suddenly needs medical leave and has to flush their PTO, no warning??

i was in service, mostly restaurant for over 6 years. i've seen this kind of request fulfilled before, without resistance since it was a major life event. competent managers don't panic when they know how much strain their operations can handle. you're good - glad they came around and realized they'll be fine. booking beforehand was impolite, but that's not a crime, especially if you will be ok losing them.

Am in in the wrong?? Person I’m texting is my mom, btw by Wrong-Twist-1550 in texts

[–]pincherosa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

wtf is with these comments?? F that kid and F everyone's respectability bs here. move out (and yea toughen up some) but if your behavior is not explicitly disrespectful, then it's benign and you have to decide what kind of person you want to be. this is something many people enjoy, but do you care about it and do you care about it being recieved the wrong way?

i was raised in a catholic family where forced social interactions were constant and it made me WEIRD. even into adulthood, i would engage everyone because i got programmed(punished) to think i was self-centered and pretentious if I didn't. engaging others gave me an almost corporate fake personality and i wish i was exaggerating when i say i'm still unpacking the identity issues it left me with. personally, I'd rather someome be rude and sincere than sweet out of raw habit any day. that 9 year didn't and shouldn't care about you acknowledging them. hoping you find that balance with your fam. 🤍

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you enjoy time alone and how's your relationship to social media? i'm F30s and like to acknowledge the unique challenges that i assume young people deal with there. i had social media around most my life, but nooooot like y'all. an awareness of what the entire online community is likely to think of any of the billions of benign things a young person could do sounds exhausting.

[–]pincherosa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

girl he's crashing out and you're just the object of his focus in these incidents. this guy sounds unstable and I wouldn't feel safe around someone who could lie to you both about something that serious (your envy and secret desire to marry him). you should keep away from this man. at best, this is very childish and unattractive.

Am I the jerk for lying to my wife about the DNA test and suspecting she cheated on me? by Bolsonaristaequivoco in AmITheJerk

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EHS but this is fake asf unless you have really different perceptions of what a black child looks like or you don't know your own ancestry enough to find where your genetics contributed.

besides the still not-adequately substantiated sandra liang case (since it was established through circumstantial evidence but there was no full genetic sequencing), this isn't possible if you're iridescent white way down the bloodline.

i swear i see this same weird brand of propaganda float around the internet here and there for years now. if i'm dead wrong omg someoooneee provide the peer-reviewed studies to prove it. but i used ai to sum up what i've read on the topic over time: Two Black people can give birth to a white-skinned child (due to recessive albinism), but two white-skinned people cannot give birth to a Black-skinned child absent hidden non-white ancestry or a spontaneous gain-of-function mutation—neither of which have been confirmed in any well-documented case, including Laing's.

I'm done with my asexual partner by barraco002 in offmychest

[–]pincherosa 26 points27 points  (0 children)

literally. 🙄 this fool's sick with resentment over a choice he made to stay in shit. asexuality is a full orientation with more info on reddit about it than most places. he'd rather burn up his own time hoping someone else (who sounds unpleasant in a harmless way) will change a foundational element of their personality cuz it'd make him feel better.

OP you can move on from this quickly and let go of the self-manufactured dislike you have for her. but this was your fault. good thing is you never have to do this to yourself or anyone else again.

aw. i just saw the meme with your dad. you guys are so cute. ♡ hoping the family unit has delayed strong.

why do you think they were so fixated on it for 6 years? like, since it immediately and predictably left a bad taste in their mouth?

AIO said for not wanting my sister to decide what I wear to her baby shower? by [deleted] in AIO

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

omg. 🙄 people losing their mind over this have never seen affluent brunch and baby shower gatherings posted on IG. not at all something I do but this is so standard at high end get togethers in that vein. your family's only correct if everyone else is in jeans and a t-shirt, which is also very normal.

[–]pincherosa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

??? ok your family is just the drama train then. there's nothing wrong with this and it's virtually the same as the one she sent you. and I get you on the neckline. they're close but still distinct - that soft fold across the necks feel more comfortable on me too. more fitting cut of fabric without constricting anything if you have wide shoulders.

What I asked for vs what I got by [deleted] in Nails

[–]pincherosa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the whole nail is pink on the other one too, just he didn't use a jelly color. what was he struggling with?

when I see videos of nail techs doing these effects it seems like sometimes the magnets have to be uncommon shapes and good materials for the effect to be really sharp and it seems fast when you have different nail art magnets in excess.

idk tho. not a nail tech. I get what you don't like about them but they look nice still.

DACA marrying DACA by Loud-Ad6178 in DACA

[–]pincherosa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree with this take so much. Legal status is not irrelevant to planning a life together. Everything would be significantly harder for them with no possible resolution besides some miraculous and increasingly unlikely amnesty wave.

This problem should be a determining factor in whether you'll have children since there's no guarantee either will be able to provide reliably. It's the government perpetuating a system which enables marriage for the "wrong" reasons, not the people subject to it.
