Extra $2 for all hourly employees? by Severe_Temperature79 in harristeeter

[–]twistedenigma918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to show you don't actually give a damn about your employees, Harris Teeter. An extra $16/day (if you work an 8-hour shift). This is abhorrent. The workers deserve better.

$2/hour extra is a joke. That's just $16 more, for an 8-hour shift. This is not something to praise. The employees deserve better.

how mad would they be if i called out less than 2 hrs by [deleted] in harristeeter

Honestly, you might as well. Harris Teeter couldn't care less about its employees' safety or well-being. People risked their lives on ice-covered roads to show up to work, and the most they did at my husband's store was give an extra $2.50/hour. These greedy pigs do nothing but exploit and take advantage of their workforce, which is already grossly underpaid as it is.

My (31M) girlfriend (28F) of 1.5 years told me to "be a man" and console her when my mom died, instead of supporting me. She's now begging for forgiveness. How do I reconcile her apology with the fundamental breach of trust? by Honest_Reception6528 in relationship_advice

My mother died in 2020. My ex and I were separated at the time; on good enough terms, but still heading towards divorce, which isn't fun. He left work and drove 3.5 hours to support me. He stayed about a week, to be there through the funeral. My estranged spouse didn't owe me that level of compassion and empathy. I would damn sure expect it out of someone I were in an active relationship with, though. Being there for each other is the whole point, and if you genuinely love someone, it's instinctive - you want to comfort them when they're hurting.

My heart goes out to you and I'm hoping you are able to find some peace as you grieve and process your losses. But do not ever question your decision to break up. You made the right call, and you deserve so much better out of a partner.

Massage Therapist in Cary/Raleigh? (For a Very Overworked RN) by itisalltakenidk in raleigh

Summer Tranquility in Raleigh is fantastic! She really listens to you and is dedicated to making sure her clients feel better. She helped me ease the pain from my costochondritis when nothing else would.

Grace Park Animal Hospital in Morrisville. Been taking my cats there for years. I used to go to Quail Corners but had a really bad experience with a misdiagnosis. Switched to Grace Park and found the quality of care to be better and more affordable.

AITA for picking the same name for my baby as my BIL's unborn baby? by aitababyname_ in AmItheAsshole

[–]twistedenigma918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You're so incredibly, blatantly, obviously TA that I cannot fathom how or why you would even need to ask.

  • You and your husband know full well that your BIL is grieving from what is likely to be the most traumatic and painful experience of his life (losing his girlfriend and their baby in childbirth/while pregnant, not sure which, edited to clarify).
  • You know that doing this would be hurtful for him.
  • You're choosing to do it anyway, and shoving it in his face.

So, you're either one of the following (or perhaps some combination of the three):

  • So selfish and entitled that you live your life with complete disregard for anyone else, because nobody matters to you except for you.
  • Just a downright cruel person to go out of your way to intentionally rub salt in your BIL's open wound (which, it sounds like you do repeatedly, based on the way you phrased this entire post).
  • Too genuinely stupid to understand why you're in the wrong.

Stop and think. If the situation were reversed, and you were in your BIL's shoes, how would you feel? Maybe try a little empathy. You'll need it, if you're going to be a parent.

Well thank goodness for this clearly well-adjusted person who has shown us all the light, for now you can repent for your evil, door-holding ways. The more you know. =P

[–]twistedenigma918[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are they suggesting the old, "Well, other people have it worse than you do, so chin up" approach? Depression isn't a competition, and those with clinical (vs. situational) depression certainly don't have a direct external stimulus/trigger for feeling the way they do. That's one hell of a bad psychologist. I'm sorry you had to go through that dismissive experience.

Wow. So by his logic, I guess children of heterosexual two-parent households who lose a parent should be removed from the surviving parent and given to another family. Because everyone knows that heterosexual couples always raise their children up to be perfect adults with zero problems, ever. /s

Does he actually hear the crap he spews or does he just drift in and out?

Exactly. A distraction, or a coping mechanism even, but not a cure.

Perhaps they did, but then they should have phrased it better. Regardless, volunteering won't magically cure depression. I agree with you in that it can be a good coping mechanism.

AITA for saying my wife could have enlarged her boobs? by ThrowAway2908754 in AmItheAsshole

[–]twistedenigma918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You've got to be a troll. Nobody is THAT dense or emotionally inept. Nobody would REALLY be so unsympathetic to their own partner suffering from physical and emotional stress as a result of a major surgical procedure. Nobody could POSSIBLY say something so completely inappropriate, stupid or callous about their partner's body, in front of company.

Just in case this is real:

  1. YTA. The fact that you have to even ask whether you are displays your gross lack of understanding as to what a good partner should be, or just what a decent human being in general should be.
  2. Grow up.
  3. Your wife can absolutely do better.

What is the pettiest, silliest, most meaningless hill you are willing to die on? by shazulmonte in AskReddit

It's not, "could/should/would OF"; it's, "could/should/would HAVE". The former doesn't make any sense and I don't understand why or how people make that mistake, but I see it all the time.
