We've been married 15 years and sporadically throughout our marriage my husband talked about how ideal it would be if I worked at our local school since we have kids and I would be on the same schedule as the children. Each time he mentioned it, I voiced my desire NOT to work there. (I have never ever had even ONE fleeting thought about working in the education field.) I was a SAHM for 10 years with some decent side gigs that I developed for myself. Husband works for himself in a blue collar job 60+ hours/week. Regarding the school job, hubby wasn't taking no for an answer and when my youngest went to school full-time, he talked me into working there. Now I'm 2.5 years into a job that I find incredibly stressful; my physical and mental health are suffering. I want to quit and go back to the work that felt right to me. I am well educated and very entrepreneurial. Husband is telling me that having a "real job" is "part of being a grown up". He did not believe in or support me when I was working for myself even though I was successful. I make more money at the job I'm in now, but feel like I had one-hand tied behind my back when I worked for myself because I was raising children full-time. He thinks the stability of a guaranteed paycheck and insurance is more valuable than my "immature fantasies" of owning my own business. I have money saved up for two+ years worth of expenses in the event my dreams don't pan out. In light of the fact that I have a family to help support, am I the asshole for wanting to give up stability for personal fulfillment???
It's seems like 90% or this sub is people bitching about the show for whatever reason. It's always "this episode was shit" or "woody I'd autistic" or my personal favourite is people whining about how rich Kyle and woody are. If you really hate these people so much why are you listening? PKA is just a podcast these people owe you nothing and its dumb to expect anything else.
First whines about Caleb not kissing her. Then he kisses her but they don't have sex... and that is a NO NO too.
Jesus Christ. Have a little patience. Just because you have known each other for a long time ONLINE doesn't mean you should beep immediately.
She reminds me of Ed; wanting everything at once. That is not how things work.
It is as if she wants to prove to herself or the world that she is desirable regardless her size but she takes it too far.
Anyway; which episode are you guys at yonder the States? Last week we were at episode 5.
EDIT: WHY are Alina's friends so damn pushy? I understand them being protective but for crap's sake; Maria; he is barely one day in Turkey with her. Lay off.
Just curious
I know this isn't about capitalism but I need to vent because I'm tired and extremely frustrated. I'm sorry if this isn't allowed.
I go to work today and in the middle of trying to load about 5 trips of steel at about 1 ton each trip my co-worker leaves... "I need to get to the bar" he says. I'm pretty frustrated because yesterday he left and made a bunch of incorrect holes in some plates that I was working on so I stayed late and fixed them all.
I arrive at work and another co-worker immediately comes complaining and telling me I have to help him find a drill chuck. He doesn't have the time he says. My boss had informed me that I needed to deliver a beam to a jobsite so I didn't have time either.
Both of these co-workers are huge believers in their uncompensated value. They both believe that the company is exploiting them and that they aren't paid enough. Hogwash I say. Neither will lift a finger if I'm struggling with something. They think my boss is the problem but it's them...
I start school at 7:30 AM. My first break is from 9:20 - 10. My next one is from 11:20 - 12:30. I get out of class and go directly to work at 2:20. I'm off between 8-10 depending on homework. They think I shouldn't complain because I brought this on myself.
I think they shouldn't complain because they are lazy assholes who deserve every ounce on misery they get. Someday if I own a business, I will treat the crappy employees like crap. I will reward the good ones with all of the money they earned and the money I would have paid the lousy workers if they weren't terrible employees. I will think of all the terrible co-workers in the world and I will hope that it's their kids that I'm taking unearned raises from and giving them to the workers who deserve it
So yeah. I guess I feel a little better. Thanks.
Good day!
I am a life long fan of Sam, as I'm sure you all are! I found him during the 4 horsemen era. Hitch was my favorite but Sam always close behind.
I joined this sub. I wish I hadn't. Sam isnt just CRT my dudes! There's a lot more to talk about than whine about CRT and pronouns. If you think that is all Sam is I suggest digging deeper into what he says and does as well as his history.
Thank you and stay blessed!
I like Walker's music. In fact I like all the music I've heard on the show. But, story-wise, all Walker and Monica bring to the table is whining. I'd love to see them ride off into the sunset whining sweet nothings in each other's ears. Mostly I'd just love to see them ride off.
So like why the hell are the moclans such a race of little crybabys throwing a tantrum whenever things dont go there way? I know they are a caricature of the klingons but every now and then a klingon can admit their ways arent right. Like they are the worst race on the show IMO
All I see is
"PIRATE GENDERLOCKED REEEEE"
"SHE DONT RELOAD FLINTLOCK REEEEEE"
"BASH/UNDODGEABLE MIXUP FOR 5TH TIME REEEEEEEEE"
"FEATS ARE OP REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Can y'all shut up or go play a different game if you hate what they're giving us so bad? This game will be exactly 5 years old next month and they're still giving us new content, personally I'm grateful for that despite how angry I get playing it sometimes
The pirate looks fun as fuck. I don't care that she's genderlocked, she has a fucking flintlock and I'm ready to bust some caps in some asses with it. I don't care that she has a bash/undodgeable mixup, she looks different enough from other heroes with the same mixup to be more fun. I don't care that her feats "look" strong, were y'all not around for Warmonger and Gryphon? The pirate's feats look like a fraction of how annoying those fuckers were
And the funniest thing to me is how many people say she isn't unique enough, yet if they had done something super crazy, like an entirely new mechanic that we've never seen before, the same fucking people would probably be bitching about how OP it'll be and demanding nerfs before she even releases. Like y'all remember Shinobi's ranged attacks, that were the most unique moveset mechanic in the game that they had to end up removing anyway because people cried about them so much?
Yeah, that's why they don't do crazy shit anymore, because so many people in this community are RETARDS who don't know what the fuck they want
But anyway, I'm hype for the pirate, at least until her already B tier moveset is complained about enough to where she gets nerfed into the ground
go ahead and shred me with "THAT DOESNT MEAN ANYTHING" comments but even the boys who rarely post, Michael who rarely posts, shared it. Kelly made a feed post for it too. clearly social media MATTERS for a family who lives in the public eye. are we allowed to think there is bad blood yet?
For all of the crybabies who NEED pairs to show up on the exchange, the holidays don’t end until this weekend.
For those who aren’t very worldly, well-travelled, and didn’t do your DD, the holidays are not over yet in the Caribbean, Central & South America, parts of the Philippines, and Spain as they finish Christmas celebrations with Three Kings Day on January 6th.
If you’re Hispanic (I’m half), we would celebrate this by putting a box of grass under our beds for the camels and would wake up to gifts under it.
Why is it that the pathetic cucks complaining about a lack of crypto pairs aren’t using the exchange anyways?
If you’re not accumulating and you’re only complaining then us real bulls and bAABBoons truly pity you.

I started out this year doing freelance marketing and LOVED it and working with clients but just missed the stable and income and benefits that came with a traditional marketing position. So I started applying to jobs and got 2 offers within 2-3 weeks of beginning my job search. I took the one that paid more because it was a more general marketing position in a new industry that I was interested in.
Since I started 4 months ago, I've come to LOATHE my coworker who I have to work the closest with because we're the only 2 people in marketing. She's lazy and dishonest, is always very quick to pass assignments off to me and find excuses as to why she can't do them. Literally DOESNT ANSWER EMAILS and when our coworkers and supervisors Microsoft Teams message both of us asking us to do something, she won't say anything until I finally respond agreeing to do it and then she "likes" my messages. She'll set meetings with our clients and then conveniently be unable to attend them and then messages me and lets me know the client is there waiting to meet with us.
Now, I have a history of being somewhat of a people pleaser and so I've spoken to 2 different managers about this coworker and what to do about them and both of them instructed me to learn "how to manage" her. So, when she's tried to get out of doing stuff, I've said things like "I'm actually too busy, can you handle this?" and she either says something like "okay well it's not urgent, so just get it done when you can" OR she lies and says she'll do it and then it never gets done.
We are not evaluated separately, our success is based on BOTH of our performances. I know of at least 2 coworkers of mine who have been in this department for more than 2 years and have yet to receive performance evaluations or raises. Our manager is always shifting direction so I'll spend a whole working day on something only to find out shortly after that our manager doesn't want to move in that direction (which I understand is sometimes the nature of marketing.) On top of everything, almost everyone I've heard most everyone I work with blatantly lie to our clients (which goes against my values) and make too many empty promises to count. I really feel that the culture here is to string people along and just tell people what they want to hear even if we have no intention of following through. Further, 2 other people have left my department straight up without notice in the short time that I've here also, causing me to believe
A whiney teenager from school is a demigod is a trope that was overdone. What are the alternatives I can take?
I considered modern military man, sent on a job, and discovering his powers during combat situations but the modern world and modern wars will bring problems.
Is there another alternative to this? I hate using the teenager trope - it is easy writing.
I mean if you really look into it MBTI's origins had little to do with science and more to do with Eugenics and a neat way to group people but that's a thread for another day. Doesn't change the fact we apparently feel the same stuff.
[EDIT]
- No one is arguing with anyone genuinely seeking help.
- I've chilled my point of view since reading some of the replies (I suggest you do the same with a little empathy before replying).
- I have no problem with admitting this is very much in the grey.
I tried my best and a few days ago I was really doing well with accepting that hey I tried, the thing I've been dreading is over with, and I was trying to be proud of myself. I applied for grad school and the application process got me so stressed not just because "what if I don't get in" but more along the lines of "maybe it's stupid for me to even try." I was super stressed asking for references and then I was stressed about my letter of intent and CV because I didn't know if I did enough even though I worked and volunteered for years at the same organisation (did other bits and bobs too) I tried to get research experience and I made good acquaintances but not good enough where they ever saw me work/could give me a reference. I finally got all my references, finished my letter and clicked submit to only find out that one of my references can't get th company's official letterhead (it's really strict about it when though they're a manger etc etc) and now this stressing me out because what if grad school thinks they don't work for the company etc etc. I could apply again next year but then I would have to find three different references and I just don't know how to make good connections that quickly while in school and working even though I know others can do it. I wish I could see some sort of light or be more positive. I am trying so hard to be positive but I just can't seem to view myself in that way right now.
Sorry this was so long and wow on you if you even made it this far
We got a pledge whos a complete moron and whines all the time. Kids a cool kid and I like him but I cant think of any good nicknames for a whiner
If you believe in the tech just hold and forget. Stop looking at it. Stop talking about it. Don’t get into things if you don’t actually believe in them. Patience is literally the most important skill to hone when investing.
Does anyone else just feel completely defeated? I’ve worked at GEICO over 10 years and the company has gone to shit. (As we all know) It gets old when I have a legitimate question or concern and my sup acts like I’m a trouble maker or says “have you considered finding a different job”
If anyone is feeling this way, how do you deal? I find it harder everyday to sign on. The only thing keeping me with the company is wfh at this point.
