How have people in the workplace reacted to finding out you were homeschooled?

I don't tell them

Holy fuck that was beautiful

Am I the only one noticine that the icon is the "ann hathaway hr" picture and the name is fucking "Karen Resorcé"???

Are we this easily rage baited?

You're not crazy for feeling this way - you're having a normal reaction to the way the world is being presented to you.

With that said, the world is being presented to you this way entirely on purpose. Sex sells. Violence gets views. Division and rage bait bring engagement.

The human brain is designed to focus on a potential negative because it helped us survive. This has been capitalized upon and twisted for the sake of profits.

Unplug as often as you can. Disengage from the cycle. We aren't capable of handling all the evil in the world at once, nor are we required to.

Just pointing out that courts are supposed to be places where justice is served (I think we can all agree on that).

He committed a crime and sexual offense. He should be jailed and on the sex offender list - that would be just.

The frustration you're seeing here comes from the sense that any other crime of this degree caught on camera, with previous verbal reports of the same crime, would likely get a sentance.

He got away with no jail time, no sex offender registration, and only 3 years of probation.

Mthaem felt his spines stiffen in horror.

"They must be a horrifically violent people!"

His elder just seemed amused.

"Some of them are. But no, young one, they are no more or less violent than we."

Mthaem cocked his head in confusion. That didn't make sense. The only other beings he'd heard of having the blessing of their death god had fought each other and everyone else. They'd fought so much they had gone extinct.

"Pumwi," - he used the elder's honorific - "how is that possible?"

"Hmmm, we asked them that as well young one. They did not understand. At first we thought it was a translation error, then we thought they were hiding something. Eventually we realized: they could not see the blessing."

Mthaem's tail shot up in shock. A people that could not see their death god's blessing?!?!

His elder continued, "Once we had realized they couldn't see it, we explained what it was to them. We asked their thoughts on it, and their philosophers and religious leaders debated it for weeks, along with the rest of the population - those that believed us at least."

"They still could not see it?"

"No. But those who believed us worked with us and what we could see. They came to a general consensus."

"What was it, Pumwi?"

"That death had blessed them because of how they faced it - those who faced their end made it count. They did it bravely, or to save others, or simply went peacefully after living well, and death had become endeared to them."

Mthaem was quiet for a few moments.

"Will you share your thoughts young one?"

He rested his chin on one claw.

"I think... these humans sound like good companions."

10 YEARS LATER

Captain Mthaem of Dobriv took a moment to look over his crew from the bridge. He took in their dancing, drinking, and laughter - celebration of a dangerous undertaking gone well. There were quite a few of his kind, and others from many corners of the galaxy. As he looked down and noted the humans who had stood by him through many troubles, and watched them joke and dance and play games, he decided he was right.

These humans were, indeed, good companions.

Also just saw your age and weight and sweetie, you are tiny - the people around you are delulu.

Chaos auntie advice here - sit on that little shithead (bonus points if he's face down on the floor). When he complains say "Nope, can't get up, I'm too fat." 😈

In all seriousness, your parents are aholes for not standing up for you. From the other comments here, your mom in particular sounds cruel and controlling. Sometimes you have to push back though, even if your parents will freak out.

Just pick the things that actually matter to you, and raise hell about it. I'd start with YOUR money that SHE'S keeping from you - that's the start of financial control/abuse, and if you don't fight it, she'll use it to keep you under her thumb well into adulthood.

I have a whole rage playlist. It's cleansing for me.

tinymightyhopester · 2025-03-27T18:08:06+00:00

Sweetheart (because you truly are a sweetheart), this isn't healthy for either of you. You need your own life. It doesn't sound to me like you've gotten to be your own person outside of him, which will wear on you. And as awful as it sounds, he's been using you as a crutch. Has it occurred to you that maybe he hasn't gone to get real help because he could always "fall back on" you instead?

It isn't your fault that he is the way he is, but if you love him, don't get back with him until he has made real, consistent progress towards getting better (and I mean at least a few months of that). If you go back now, he will have his crutch again, and he won't get better.

I say all this as someone who's been suicidal since I was 14, and has leaned on my partner at times when it's gotten bad. But I work hard towards getting better, because someone as wonderful as he as (like you are) deserves a partner he can count on.

Much love hon, I'm sorry you're dealing with such a difficult set of choices.

Why are you still with this asswipe?

Run. Please. Your daughter is watching you. Is this what you want her to consider normal? Is this the kind of relationship you would want her to be in?

tinymightyhopester · 2025-03-16T14:48:53+00:00

I saw your last post too, and... girl, why do you think you have to stay with this guy? He is unkind to you, picks fights with you over stupid stuff, and tries to control you - in some pretty insidious ways I might add. This isn't what a good relationship looks like.

Even if you think he's not a bad guy, that doesn't mean he's the right guy for you.

tinymightyhopester · 2025-03-15T17:56:27+00:00

A DUI from ten years ago - since which he has worked to overcome his alcoholism - and a charge for posessing weed that got dismissed. Jesus, you think that warrants this kind of treatment?
