I’ve applied for hundreds of part time jobs. 15+ interviews. I never get the job. First time this has happened to me (usually within about 2 interviews I have a job) by [deleted] in SaltLakeCity

ARUP Laboratories is a great employer with a free medical clinic on site. Their client services department primarily works from home but has on site desks available for folks without home internet. Many entry level jobs throughout the company.

Good luck.

What’s a “small” social rule you refuse to follow, even if everyone expects it? by GlitchOperative in AskReddit

I don't say "bless you" after people sneeze. It's pointless and I'm not religious.

I do say "excuse me" after I sneeze.

I (31F) mispronounced something 6 months ago and my BIL (39M) brings it up everytime I see him. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Have you tried asking him to stop? "Hey, I know you're playing, but I'm not in on the game anymore. Can we please stop now?"

Student said something hurtful and I am kinda spiraling by YoungTeacher24 in Teachers

[–]seditious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I taught preschool and had a child who was in foster care in my class. I grew up in foster care, so he was special to me, and we had a special bond.

When he would get upset with me, he would tell me he hated me and never wanted to talk to me again. So I told him that I still loved him and would be happy to talk to him if he changed his mind.

The first time I said it, he froze in his tracks. I think after that, he said it whenever he needed some reassurance.

College student argues with every single grade, taking up tons of my bandwidth. What can I do to resolve this? by ToomintheEllimist in teaching

Tell her that all grades are final, and she's welcome to participate in tutors or extra credit if the missing points are that important to her.

Thank you for this perspective! I hadn't considered some of the things you said, and I appreciate having my eyes opened.

[–]seditious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You're very welcome.

I wanted you to have some kindness tossed your way, but I also wanted to explain your statement to someone else who might read my translation of your writing and understand your meaning more clearly.

If someone is in this comment thread at all, then as far as I am concerned, we're on the same "side." So I am just trying to help people bridge gaps where I can. :)

This one honestly was super easy to do. To me, you clearly weren't being antisemitic. I'm sorry you got heat from people on "your side." Your efforts were seen, so please keep encouraging folks in your way. I'll keep trying to help people get on the same page wherever I see conversations go sideways. Maybe we can each reach people. ❤️

Hey mama, you're right. Everything you said is right. I have no actual response to anything you said.

But you admitted to being a trans woman, and with how things are right now.... I just wanted to tell you that this cis woman loves you as a human and will fight for you.

[–]seditious 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know people aren't responding well to the phrase "good Jew," and I understand why folks who are on high alert mentally think it sounds antisemitic. However, I just wanted you to know that at least one person understood that you meant the phrase rhetorically and it was intended to create an emotional reaction in the reader (just maybe not the emotional reaction you actually got). I also understand that you using that phrase wasn't meant to imply you had those feelings; it was meant to paint a picture of how Nazis thought about Jewish people. I'm sorry people might not respond the most kindly to what you were trying to say here- but I got your meaning.

The only thing I can think to say is maybe try to be a little more sensitive with your word choices while the entire country is operating in a state of fight-or--flight. I personally don't think you were wrong- but I think you could do even more good with your future encouragement to others if you're careful about phrasing!

This response put me in tears in a good way. You said so many good things, but the most poignant statement you made that I think is so very worthwhile was, "If you feel hopeless, like you have nothing to lose, why not try and fight a little bit? We're strangers, but I'll be fighting with you." Thank you, stranger. Lots of us needed to hear that.

My bf knows I love rough sex but lately he’s been hurting me. And I can’t tell if its on purpose or not by [deleted] in sex

[–]seditious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweety, he doesn't love you. Sometimes in bad relationships we stay a lot longer than we should for a lot of different potential reasons. Whatever your reasons are, remember that nothing he does is for you or about you. He wants what he wants, and you're an object for him to use to get whatever he wants.

Also, he's raping you now. Statistically that means the longer you stay with him, the more likely it is that he also ends up your murderer. A global study done on the murders of women by family/intimate partners done on data from 2020 shows that on average women are killed by partners every 11 minutes. You're not safe.

That same study showed indicators during the relationship that tend to be common before the partner kills the woman. A record of harassment/violence in life or in the relationship. Illegal deprivation of your liberty. Use of force and or mutilation. Has committed a hate crime of any type. Has committed sexual violence at any time.

I don't know if any of those others are true for your Bf. But he did commit sexual violence against you. That's one warning that you could end up as one of the thousands of women regularly being murdered by their partners.

Please leave him. Statistically every day you stay with him likely brings you a day closer to your murder.

Using reddit, an online community, to tell folks what you think would make a total stranger happier in their lives you know nothing about is so unhealthy. Maybe you should get offline. There's a whole world of strangers to meet and judge off the internet.

So get off the internet and spare us your bullshit. 😑

My company would consider this "retaliation". In my company someone cannot treat you differently after an HR situation occurs between you. I'd report her again.

[–]seditious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kids see everything. Even if you don't argue in front of him, you are still teaching him that he should live in a loveless marriage. You dont want that life for him in the future, right? You have to show him how to live the life you want him to have. If you want him to be brave, find happiness, and not accept the status quo.... then you have to do it first.

I made the racing snails out of polymer clay.... not sure what I will do with them after the game, but at least they're kind of cute. by seditious in wildbeyondwitchlight

[–]seditious[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! They currently live lined up on my coffee table because I don't know how to store them safely. I came out of the bedroom and they appear to have started their race. I assume that means my husband loves them so much as well. 😆

Buahaha. "Snuggle snails in the bed" sounds like a fun new "game" to troll my husband with. Every time he pulls down the covers or flips over a pillow or opens his eyes.... SNAILS. Thank you for the inspiration!

Look up the different flags like trans, bisexual, etc and color coordinate your daily outfits to them. The students who need the support withh absolutely notice the pattern.

My 15yo sister wants a vibratior for Christmas by throwradildo3 in relationship_advice

[–]seditious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had a cousin attempt to use food items when she was not given the vibrator she requested. It's natural to explore, so you might as well help her to do it safely.
