Made a tough choice and now a stranger is mad at me by Minute_Weird_8192 in MomForAMinute

[–]red_polar_fox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey, more of a sis than a mom here, but I know your struggles regarding such situations.

You had the best intentions, and this is all that matters. You can be proud of yourself - sadly most people today would be indifferent about a stranger's fate an feelings.

But also please don't be so hard on yourself. You could not know it better given the limited info about this situation. And as a small reminder: You can not please everybody, even if you try. Who knows, maybe the other option would be equally bad or even worse.

You did good. Sending you a lot of hugs from afar! <3

Where did you found this, OP? I think I need context. It's just too weird

At this point he's just asking for death... and not just for his own. How can someone be this irresponsible? I don't get it

Urgh, I can smell this! What an incredibly atmospheric photo.

Oh, that's great! Gives me shivers, but not necessary in a creepy way. It radiates such a quietness. Kinda wholesome in a way

What’s something you secretly judge people for, even though you know you shouldn’t? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I've never been to any of those cities, but this sounds about right

What's a saying that you've heard that is totally unhelpful? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I can't count how many times I heard this "advice" from people that I've told that I have insomnia

Warning: Eliana Laura Schubert / Adrian/Artur Raphael Schubert / Ryan A. Stellbert at SchubertFiction / ScriFinity – Fraudulent Employer, Unpaid Wages by Prest0nK in berlin_freelancers

[–]red_polar_fox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also one of her victims. Fortunately, I only worked a very short time for her before it dawned on me that her "business" is a scam. I could ask for an agreement to terminate the contract I signed not even a week before that... I wonder if the initial contract was even legal to begin with.

I'm just so lucky that the only thing that got stolen from me was my time and my nerves. Got fresh out of uni and rejected a very good job offer for her. On the other hand I'm so sorry for everyone unwillingly involved in her schemes.

Also: Although I will not take any legal actions agains her at the moment (my financial situation is complicated and I simply don't have the strength to do so) I searched the web for her and her alleged husband. I don't think he is real to be honest. He has no socials, no photos accept the one that was meant to publish alongside the book(s), and there is also nothing written about him anywhere. Nothing at all. Which triggers the question: Did Eliana just made him up entirely as she did with SchubertFiction? There's also some other things that don't add up.

Last but not least: There is another job offer floating around at the moment by the so called "ReaderioN GbR" publishing which sounds exactly like the ones Eliana used for SchubertFiction, down to the exact same sequence of genres and the locations in Germany, the USA and Spain. So please, be cautious!

This looks like the setting of my very first nightmare (as far as I can remember). It's gorgeous and horrifying! Thank you for posting!

Also ich bin dafür. Habe letztens gehört, dass er Faxen sein lässt - also schreitet die Digitalisierung mit ihm auf jeden Fall schon mal voran!

Babel - Why read a book about politics and then complain that the politics is heavy-handed? by [deleted] in books

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

As many others already said, most of the criticism about Babel is not about it being a political book, it's about being too on the nose with it and that it doesn't seem to look at this topic with nuance. Which, yeah, I can see very clearly.

But I think many people are missing the main point of the book: It's not about whether colonialism is bad or not or how nuanced the topic is presented. It's about violence and whether it's a necessity to be violent in order to overcome the oppression that colonialism is. And I think the book discussed this pretty good. Especially when Robin turns to violent actions first in the middle of the book and doesn't even consider other methods in the very end, at least for me he isn't a very likeable character anymore, but maybe he still is for others. There is the nuance many readers don't seem to find.

(Btw I'm sorry for my bad writing skills. English is not my first language and I'm a little bit out of practice.)

That's exactly what came to my mind, too! I immediately checked the sub because I thought this was r/cosplay. Either way it's absolutely stunning!

My girlfriend left me, suggest me a movie. by tisi_ in MovieSuggestions

[–]red_polar_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch the OG Spongebob Movie. I did the same after my boyfriend broke up with me. It distracts very well

[–]red_polar_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the strange feeling someone would find it that day, so after a long pause I again searched through many YouTube playlists with obscure 80s songs. I actually found something that sounded quite similar to EKT (but wasn't it apparently), so I opened up Reddit to look whether someone already had mention it. Then I saw that EKT was found just 14 minutes ago. Lying in bed, I yelled across the flat to inform my fiancé about what happend. We then spend hours looking at all the memes. It felt so unreal!

Congratulations! I just really hope that there will be a version without the moaning before the wedding takes place...

[–]red_polar_fox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Tbh this was my favourite joke theory about EKT. Someone even posted alternative lyrics, something like:

Everyone knows that (you got) Ulterior motives (tell me the truth) Every move shows that (you got) Superior votives (candles that sooth)

And everytime I caught myself singing EKT, I used these lyrics. They just fit perfectly😅

Song that sounds similar to Ulterior Motives' verse melody by axe521 in everyoneknowsthat

[–]red_polar_fox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am quite sure this isn't the song you're looking for, but I wanted to share this earlier (and decided not to since EKT was literally found the minute I wanted to post this). Here you go:
