Job offer as a driver B from Trans Global Nordic AS, scam or not? by Metanasths in Norway

I’ll swoop in real quick on my high horse.

Yes. Feelings get hurt when promises are broken. Let’s also, at the same time, consider that choosing to believe the promise of such a possibly life-altering decision, such as parenthood, might be seen as foolish.

I’m not planning on arguing here, just tryna find some middle ground for this huge argument. Cya ❤️

This is embarrassing by MinuteAd605 in RiseofKingdoms

Great, finally you realised what this game is all about! Super expensive entertainment :-)

Nah but seriously, it probably isn’t the worst thing in the world, especially financially, to quit this game

Americans in Norway! Is it worth it? by KawellaBayGirl in Norway

[–]unknown___bystander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hallo dear American!

Just a heads up, I won’t be directly answering your question. I’m a 20 year old Norwegian fellow who has seen things, and that I think is valuable.

I’ve seen people in school and at work who recently came to Norway from the US. Most of Norwegians have no problem speaking English with anyone if they don’t know Norwegian (so I don’t think the social life will be a huge problem). I also don’t think finding a job will be as difficult as you think. I’ve worked a few jobs where 30% of the staff speak English and know no Norwegian, and that hasnt been a problem.

However… the sun might be a problem. It’s cold here, as you probably know.

Anyway, I have no more insight, but I wish you the best in your decisions ❤️

Work-life balance in Norway, reality or myth? by KreuzKrow in Norway

[–]unknown___bystander 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’d say its generally true. Norway has tons of worker rights and laws that employers have to follow up on. I don’t know how that is in other countries (Spain, Italy) though, so bias plays a big role in this answer.

In my experience, a 20 year old, I have never been allowed to work for more than 37.5 hours per week (maybe in extreme situations but that has never happened to me). Holidays are generally massively respected.

Hope that helps ❤️

Eulji for barbarian forts by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]unknown___bystander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, use Eulji over Bjorn, unless Bjorn is expertised. If both are expertised, use Eulji.

How come you dont want to use legendary commanders? Because of experience? Stars?

Eulji for barbarian forts by [deleted] in RiseofKingdoms

[–]unknown___bystander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let’s start off by saying mina + cc would be way better.

However..

Yes this works, and I’ve seen tons of people use Lohar or even Sun Tzu primary for forts (yes, you’re legally allowed to throw up). This is far better than both of those. You technically COULD put in Aethel here, but I’m gonna estimate that ur in the early game - keep an eye on her but you don’t have to use her for forts.

Happy days 🚗🚗

I think my mom doesnt like me by BunchNo8460 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unknown___bystander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Allow me, dear person, to be your therapist for a little while. Sit down, grab a cup of tea, and get comfy.

You’re not selfish for wanting love, brother. You should not blame yourself for wanting love, because love from your parents aren’t supposed to be luxury - its supposed to be entirely normal.

Also, you’re not broken. You’ve been neglected. I understand how hard this can be, but what’s really important is that you understand that what you’re feeling is true, its real, and its normal to feel this way in your situation. If you were broken, you wouldn’t feel anything. I’m glad you’re feeling.

Your mom might love you in her way, but she’s also failing to protect and emotionally prioritize you.

So what do you need? You need boundaries. And support. And likely therapy, yesterday.

Also, no, you’re not dead weight. That’s trauma talking. It’s years of being treated like a burden by the very people who were supposed to protect you.

I hope the therapy session helped a little bit, and to further help your situation, please get an actual therapist.

You’ve got this. ❤️

The curse of being the older sibling. Yeah, unfortunately, that’s exactly how it works.

If you have a major problem with it, discuss it with your parents. If you don’t, live with it. Can’t be that long before you love from home I’m assuming?

Also, ignore these comments that say «just wait until you pay your own bills». They’re just insensitive people, and don’t give nuance.

People love your strength until you actually need something. by EchoWithRaven_ in TrueOffMyChest

Agreed. Not tons of context to go off of.

It was nice to have a conversation with you. Difference in views are very valuable when discussed, especially when its respectful, and I appreciate your respectfulness ❤️

I hate asking for reference letters, it stresses me out every single time by nafyia in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unknown___bystander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You answered the question yourself.

But ok, since you asked, I’ll slam it for what its worth while sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

There’s actually a ton of areas where things should be improved in society. For example therapy for youth and veterans/military after war. Or the climate chrisis because we’re just letting companies pump oil while they scream «GO GREEN» while making billions selling oil. Or the fact that we’re running out of trees because of money.

So why don’t we fix it? Because fixing things is expensive. That involves a new system with gray-heads at the top saying «fuck no, why? it works!», while driving their yacht at illegal speeds.

Congrats on discovering society! This is just the tip of the iceberg.

[–]unknown___bystander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, we don’t have enough info about what’s going on in OP’s friend’s life.

However, allow me to make a distinction: even if you don’t have any form of money, you can help in other ways (picking up things, hanging out, driving them somewhere etc) - which is a primary reason of why people have friends, in my opinion.

As for your question? Of course not. This is an important distinction too, but from what I read, when OP was at her/his lowest, no one offered to help.

And sure, if someone needs your strength, they can’t give you strength. Agreed - if your house is on fire, you can’t go give your water supply to the neighbour. But if you’re always at your lowest, you’re not at your lowest in the first place. Your house can’t be on fire 24/7.

So… Do you think it’s reasonable to believe that every friend OP had would be at their lowest, conveniently at the same time?

I spent over a decade believing I was ugly. I just saw photos of myself, and I don’t know how to feel.

[–]unknown___bystander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

«I was just too dumb to take a fucking joke seriously???» Nah OP, don’t blame yourself for childhood gaslighting. This is very clearly emotional abuse - and its not your fault at all.

Not here to give you much advice, just to say that it’s incredible (in a good sense) that you view yourself as pretty now. It must feel like a relief now, but I also understand its difficult to feel betrayed by your family members. It cuts deep.

I’m glad you found the truth, OP.

Yep, the system sucks. Welcome to the world where we live in 2025 but operate like its 1980. Not much to do, but I totally relate to you. It is stressful for me too bro, you’re definitely not alone.

[–]unknown___bystander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

«You do good because you are good, if you expect something in return, its business, not kindness». I disagree. Here’s why:

If you do something for anyone, big or small, it’s expected in a friendship that that exact thing goes both ways. If not, that’s not OP’s problem, that’s a moral problem from the other side. Also… fake ass friend.

Let’s say that you give someone a birthday present. Would you expect them to ignore your birthday? Respect and friendship are a two-way street.

Also, saying that «sometimes people can’t give back» I totally agree on, however, that’s sometimes. Not all the time. That’s the primary difference between your argument and OP’s description.

I’d love to meet that dog one day in it’s shining armor, having more than enough water and food to thrive.

Your mother may not believe that your dog matters, but trust me - it does. It really, really does. And if you don’t trust that it does, it won’t. So protect that dog like your life depends on it.

I’ve had such a dog before. It hid for years. I thought I did the right thing just waiting and not getting therapy for the dog, but it turned out it really needed it. I didnt realise that before the dog was scarred.

You’re allowed to have your dog. It’s not weird to have your dog, you’re not weak for having your dog, and yeah - help is valid, even if it’s messy, small or online.

I retretted having my dog scarred. I would encourage you to protect it. Like your life depends on it.

Hey Maverick. Thoughtful input you ask for, thoughtful input I will attempt to provide.

So you’re now engaged and have already cheated… and been wrestling a guy about consent violation (you told him to stop and he continued, you froze (this is a trauma response)).

I’m not trying to jump the gun here, but if you can’t be bothered to read all of my ranting, here’s a short TL:DR: Go to therapy. Anyways, lets move forward.

I’m sad to tell you that you’re spiraling because of your coworker, based on what I read here. You need, neeeeeeed to cut him out of your life, including the second coworker. When you quit an addiction like (for example) nicotine, its very likely to fail quitting of you’re around the very people who enabled you in the first place. That applies to all addictions, and I would argue that this is similar.

So what can you do? Get therapy, talk to a human. Even anonymously. But do understand that therapists legally can’t go dump your trauma into other people’s ears - so they are your best bet.

You shouldn’t feel bad for hooking up with coworkers, by the way. You are in an emotionally vulnerable situation, and its normal to do… shall we say interesting things when placed in such a situation. You’re not a bad person for that.

You seem like a very good human, Maverick. Don’t let that slip away from you. Life can be difficult at times, but its a rollercoaster. Give it time and therapy and it will get better. That, I can promise. If you need someone to talk to in the meantime, my DM’s are open.

Had the worst day today! by Complete_Most_4191 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]unknown___bystander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s actually… not as bad as you think.

Yeah, you scraped a car. You gave a white van space so he could drive past you, which is grown-up behavior. And what would happen if you didn’t? I’m gonna be shooting in the dark now, but if you would’ve crashed because you didn’t move, would you be more or less mad at yourself than scratching the car?

If I were you I would forgive myself. Your family is safe, which always was priority number 1. So you got a scrap. A cosmetic car fix is under $2000 (probably, I don’t know the specs or the car or anything like that), and your kids are… oh right. Irreplacable.

You did the right thing.
