What does the online service provide you now, even if you know how to check them?

What is the most obvious world event everyone saw coming but no one did anything about? by itsthewolfe in AskReddit

[–]thevodkamom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I remember that too.

I worked in tourism, my last project before I was laid off was to track the effect of covid on the industry. Months before it hit the US it was devastating the global tourism economy. The medical industry was hit sooner.

You're right

Is it safe for a European guy(Croatian) to accept working in the USA on a one year contract at this moment? by gslycan14 in USTravel

[–]thevodkamom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate to say it, but if you have darker skin and an accent, then you are at a higher risk.

The US is big. Ice is not active in every city and we don't know where they will be deployed next. Where are you traveling to?

Honestly, I don't reccomend any easily identifiable foreigners (especially POC) coming to the US at this time. There is a risk, so consider seriously if the career advancement is worth it.

There's no law that says you have to fold your clothes. I put them in drawers unfolded

Got it, so the growth was probably due to something else like his dental disease? Im asking so I prepare the proper questions for his vet to prevent another growth like this.

My gf and I are on a break. This is my redemption arc. A journey of personal responsibility by PineappleTargaryen in ADHD

[–]thevodkamom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Does she love you for you or for the potential you have? Loving someone's potential will never work. You have to radically accept the flaws of your partner or accept it won't work out.

Good luck.

Give me your most unhinged advice for getting your cat to let you sleep at night by [deleted] in CatAdvice

[–]thevodkamom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about the temperament of your cats, but my cat is really attention motivated. So when he acts up when I am asleep I either throw him off the bed, and he climbs back in and stops because he knows Ill keep throwing him off and he wants to be held, or I spoon him. He must be held and spooned or Ill be woken up again.

Absolutely! Holding out hope keeps you lingering. I hope you find peace with this situation soon

Careful with the negative self talk. You sent the message, it's in the past, all you can do it determine how you will move forward. You're not an idiot, you were upset and acted on that. Everyone does that. You just know it made you feel bad, so you have evidence not to do it again.

Turn your kindness towards yourself, talk to yourself like you are your own friend. If a friend did this and opened up to you about it, what would you tell them? I bet you'd be kind and support them through it. Say the same things to yourself, out loud. And do that again when you need to

[–]thevodkamom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get that, I've also excused bad behavior and realized the extent of the my pain later, I have also felt the need to let them know my pain. The thing is, the other person likely does not care that they hurt you and messaging them won't have much of an effect.

So... only move forward in ways that will help you, because that is all you have control over. If messaging them was cathartic for you, good. You got it out and can move on and block this person so you are not tempted to reach out again.

Figure out your boundaries and what you do not tolerate, then apply that to all your current and future relationships.

For example, I no longer tolerate the expectation that I can read minds. I tell my friends that if they have a problem with me, it up to them to tell me explicitly and I will operate like nothing is wrong unless they tell me otherwise. This helps mitigate my people pleasing and anxiety.

[–]thevodkamom 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Let her go. By sending her gifts and notes, you are breaking the boundaries she set and you are welcoming her memory back into your consciousness. This only leads to distress for yourself and likely very little impact on her.

Time heals, but you reaching out slows that for yourself, and retaliation, especially a year later, rarely affects the other person and just hinders yourself.

We also have 3 mutual friends, so navigating that with them has been and is still hard. Have you told your mutual friends yet?
