STR posted:GF told me to leave something out to remind her to pay rent. You know, the thing she's done on the 1st of the month for her entire adult life. My GF asked me if she could move into my apartment without paying for any of the rent because half of $1100 ($550) is too much for her? I said no and I'm pretty sure she's going to break up with me now because she's been really difficult since that conversation. If it truly is worst case scenario then I probably dodged a bullet tbh.

slidebite posted:If someone is on hard times and you're helping them out that's one thing, but if they are "expecting" to live rent free because of monetizing sex or just $valuating$ their half of the relationship, yeah, that's bullet dodged dude. Her dad owns 4 buissnesses and she has a fat trust fund. She has a job working for one of his companies and only makes like $16 an hour but in exchange he pays for her health insurance. She graduated college into the pandemic so it's basically a "I'll give you money, take care of you, and let you live at my house but you have to do something" kind of thing. I made less than that for years and $550 a month is incredibly manageable if you have any full time job and make more than $10/hr. It's also not a permanent situation for her either. Safety Dance posted:When my wife and I moved in together, we worked out rent and bill payments proportional to the amount we earned. If you think that's equitable, you could suggest that to your GF. That is a pretty good idea. She suggested to just buy some things here and there to 'contribute' but that's poorly defined. I'm also not ready for that step with her really. shy boy from chess club posted:Is this the otherwise cool lady? If so that really sucks, sorry man Yeah she's pretty awesome all around except for this. Also she told me point blank that if I did not get along with her friends it probably wouldn't work out between us. She mostly hangs out with these 25-26 year old dudes she went to highschool with. They're into competitive smash brothers and are the drug nerd Research Chemical, smoke weed every day, popping pills, and drinking a lot - type. It's very weird because she isn't really like that at all. From what I can tell she only smokes weed occasionally. Anyways, I'm sober and am not really trying to hang out with her loser friends. I don't understand why she cares so much about that really. Not sure if that's a deal breaker though.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Haha, I was totally the work related part but not because of being a peter pan, I just didn't take any bullshit and didn't care if i'd be homeless or not so I'd walk out whenever somebody pissed me off Lol I did this when I was addicted to pain pills right out of college. I was making enough money day trading crypto poo poo coins that I always had enough for next months expenses (which were like $1000 altogether) and I would just hop from lovely call center job to lovely call center job. For what I was trying to do at the time (gently caress around and avoid sobriety) it really was not that bad. Goober Peas posted:I don't wanna grow up. I'm a Toys 'R Us kid. F Deteriorata posted:"I'll never grow up, I'll never get old." Applebees Appetizer posted:That's a huge red flag man, just saying. Yeah pretty much this. I got off the phone with her like 30 minutes ago and I brought up my concerns that she's upset with me. She told me yesterday that she was heading over and then just never showed up or responded to my texts or whatever which I thought was rude. She told me that she just fell asleep but still just text me that you're too tired or something idk. Or at least text me in the morning idk I don't think that's crazy. Anyways that led me to think she was upset or done with me or something. So anyways I talk to her about it and she tells me that she's upset because I didn't offer to help her carry her cats litter box to the car? And that I never asked to come over to her place (she lives with her parents)? She never brought up any of this before so I guess she just figured if she pouted long enough that I would figure it out? I mean none of this would be a problem I just didn't know what was going on. It's just ridiculous. I got so angry that I just told her I had to go and got her off the phone before I said something I would regret. Probably going to break up with her unless something changes but I'm sure that it will not. I really do not have time for this kind of bullshit.

She was just really selfish. But enough about my lovely marriage. Yeah it's not a great situation. At least I can rest easy now that I have pretty much made up my mind about it. I am not going back to the hellscape that is online dating though, so I'm probably just going to be alone for awhile. It is probably for the best haha.

builds character posted:Look, it's none of my business so take this with a huge grain of salt or whatever. If you really like this girl I think it's worth at least having a discussion about how communication should be using your words with each other instead of letting things stew and expecting the other person to figure it out. It just seems a little odd to be like "hey she had a problem and didn't tell me about it" and then you have a problem and instead of telling her about it you're just like "gently caress it I'm done." Maybe you'll be done anyway, but "I really like you, I'm just not ready to move in with you yet and when we do I think we should be responsible with finances and split expenses in a way that makes sense." Or "look, I like you a lot but I don't want to play competitive smash bros and hang out with folks doing drugs but I don't expect you to want to spend hours crawling around under a rusted out 1989 volvo wagon and I think it's good we have stuff we do together and stuff we do just for ourselves." seem like they could go a long way toward figuring out whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. I think you are right. I'm going to try and talk it over with her the next time we hang out. If it doesn't work out from then I think I'm just going to cut the cord.

Will contribute to the psych med discussion tomorrow. I too have some bad brains and have a lot of experience. Right now though, I'm pretty depressed. That girl I'm dating that I complained about earlier in the thread just canceled on me at the last second again. I'm really depressed honestly. But I do feel a little bit relieved because at least now I know she does not respect my time. This has been causing me too much grief and I have decided that I'm going to just end it. On the plus side I'm flying to Austin Texas next Wednesday to visit with some friends. At least I have that to look forward to...

I was going to say to use Good RX but they no longer write prescriptions for controlled substances  This relationship stuff is stressing me out. I talked to a few of my married friends and they told me that I should just give it some space so I'm not going to do anything rash like breaking up with her right away. I'm going to just try to put this out of my mind completely and focus on asking for a raise during my performance review next Monday and the trip I have planned to Austin Texas right after. What's fun to do in Austin Texas these days with Corona? I'm really just visiting some close friends but I'd like to see some stuff too lol. My friend in Wisconsin offered to sell me his Conquest TSI for $3500. Drive train is fine but there is rust. I'm not in a position to take on a project car at the moment (mostly because it's pretty hard to work on cars when you live in an Apartment lol). Still it's really tempting - I've always wanted a conquest and I understand that stock ones are pretty rare at this point. Plus the price is so low it's like why not?  The conquest in question. It has the digital dash too

The Door Frame posted:And as degrees become more common, job listings are able to put ridiculous degree requirements for entry level jobs that pay <$30k, further driving people into the college system and into debt that they usually don't need Yeah this is troubling to me. Fortunately I do not have any student debt and a bachelors degree in psych. In the baby boomer generation something like 16% of the working population had a college degree. Now almost 40% of the population has a college degree. It's kind of a bummer because it seems like you pretty much need to have one in order to even get in the door with a halfway decent job. Hell I went to a top 50 college and a lot of the kids I graduated with are still like managing retail stores or selling life insurance. I'm 26 (for reference) and honestly I always just figured the cost of tuition was always kept artificially high so the military would have a predictable and consistent recruitment base. Either that or so companies can just get more H1Bs and save money on what would be very expensive labor. CerealKilla420 fucked around with this message at 01:45 on Mar 19, 2021 |

My momma got her first shot. She gets her second one April 4th. Really glad that she got the shot, I've been worried about her. Sorry to hear about your home troubles. It seems like you're on top of it though. When I was a kid my parents would leave me at our church on weekends when I was out of town because it was within walking distance of my house so I'd just go there as like a day care. Anyways, whenever I would complain about something the nun that took care of me, Sister Pilar, would tell me to consider what someone without legs would think about the complaint. That always pissed me off back then, but as an adult it's oddly comforting and puts things in perspective a lot of the time haha. If you think about it, we are actually lucky to be able to work on our houses haha.

Alright so this is completely unrelated but I'm having a quarter life crisis/emotional kind of moment so entertain me for a sec. I started putting pomade in my hair and combing it back to keep it out of my eyes and all the men I know say they think it looks good (specifically the older men in my gay men's AA meeting) but pretty much every woman in my life think it looks terrible and that I should get a new product or just wear it naturally. The most descriptive criticism I've gotten is that "it's best to accept and play up your natural features bc it's obvious when you try to fight against them". Which honestly is kind of rude but I'll just dox myself for advice since you guys are talking about facial hair already and this is sort of related?   and natural (and a bit longer)

goatse guy posted:Being in AA is the easiest way to make friends as an adult. I’m sure your sponsor has already told you this but go to more meetings and get more phone numbers. Mine tells me the same thing. You are more than right. I really should go to more in person meetings and get some more numbers. My AA fellowship is kinda thin these days. For most of the pandemic I've just been talking to the same 5 people who are all in their respective covid bunkers (even still) except for the one outdoors small meeting in a friend's backyard. More and more people are getting the shot though so it shouldn't be an issue. GA just opened up the shot to everyone so I'm scheduling my appointment. I could have gotten it earlier through some borderline shady means via a family friend at the CDC but I really did not feel comfortable doing that because I know there are other people that need the doses a lot more than me. I'm a sales guy (account manager whatever) and the end of the year bonus is a pretty big part of my comp plan. It sucks bc the bonus is paid to the company through the VC firm that owns the company and they pay the company a percentage based on the company's overall 'performance'. This is discouraging because not only am I the only guy in the company that hit plan (sold anything for that matter), I exceeded it by about 100k in annual recurring revenue. It's even more impressive considering the product I sell is not at all market viable and has not one competitive advantage. I'll learn what my raise looks like here in like two weeks and depending on what I'm able to negotiate I may just take a new job in September after I've settled into Austin and have been here for 2 full years. meatpimp posted:Yep, life can be lovely and hard at times. I've been buried in it the past few years, but I always go back to an old Chinese adage: You are a good dad for doing that honestly. When I was 18 I was pretty much at that point honestly but my parents were literally either drunk or not around to even care or notice. I made it out alright with the help of sweet sweet self medication and booze but yeah I mean it sucks but just know that you did the right thing.

Mustache Ride posted:^^ edit: the mustache really works dude, keep that confidence up I'm getting annihilated this year. I think it's because my apartment is really poorly insulated. I just got some Allegra so that's helping. Any recommendation for eyedrops? The standard visine isn't cutting it lol GnarlyCharlie4u posted:I bought some keyboard switches you might like: I pretty much only used either the apple standard keyboard (the chicklet one from 2012) or a IBM model M for years. I have a Durgod something or other with cherry browns now. I wouldn't exactly recommend it, it was pretty much the chinese special of the month when I bought it. I do like cherry keys now since I started using browns. I was always a fast typist but after working in contact centers for 2 1/2 years and passing the time on 3rd shift by playing online typing trainers, I type well over 100wpm and I have gotten really particular about the kind of switch. Strangely, I don't mind the new chicklet apple keyboard even though there's almost no travel. I've started coming around to the new Thinkpad keyboards too tbh even though they still don't hold a candle to the original IBM thinkpad keys. LloydDobler posted:I think you look fine, although if the pomade makes your hair look particularly greasy you might want a product that has a drier look to it. I would go to a salon and ask for recommendations and maybe test a few things out. Or make a game/date out of it with one of these women who has an opinion. Call her poo poo out and say "ok let's try it your way" and see if she can come up with anything better. You could shop for product and then let her apply it. If it doesn't work, wash it out and try another. Ether Frenzy posted:You look fine, I have similar "A GD Ton of Hair" pandemic-style and if you want a product that provides the same "Keep it out of my face" without the greaziness of pomade, this product is pretty perfect (despite a weird name that doesn't seem obviously like the kind of thing you'd want for a Less Product-lookin' result, but no one will even know you're using product with this.) I'll give this product a try. I think the stuff I'm using probably is too greasy which probably has something to do with it. The AA meeting I have been going to IRL twice a week for the last year is a combination of just a regular closed AA meeting and a gay mens meeting (people from both groups were looking for a place to meet irl because both meetings were canceled bc of Covid). When I started putting my hair back with Pomade I got a bunch of compliments from a few of the older gay men so I figured I was probably doing ok lol. Just like buying a sports car you don't really do it to impress women. Sometimes the male attention is more important haha. That's what I'm telling myself at least.

got off on a technicality posted:The investor having direct control of bonuses is really weird and bad I mean for all the negative things I could say about the job they really did take a chance on me when I was getting sober and offered me a really high base salary for a kid right out of college. I honestly did not expect that I would preform this well when I took the job and I feel like I have outgrown it at this point. That said, pretty much everyone else in the industry that sells the kind of SaaS product I do are in their 40s, so me being 26 (27 on wednesday) with a bunch of experience and tested performance makes me a pretty desirable hire. I don't want to be in sales forever though. No offense intended but a lot of these older sales guys (mid 40s+) are basically do-nothing dinosaurs and I have no idea why they keep getting hired and paid 6 figure salaries for not selling. It's honestly kind of surreal having people almost twice your age act weird and intimidated by you. I realized almost instantly that sales is a young man's game. I don't want to go through some sort of mid life 'death of a salesman' kind of situation. But in the meantime, I literally bought everything I've ever wanted in the past year and now I plan on saving every penny and riding it out for the next few years.
