I myself was once a person who did not understand this. It did take hearing the explanations and linking those to my own experiences to get it. Growing up with narcissistic parents teaches you narcissistic behavior and maladaptive core beliefs, and so believe it or not, being a narcissistic 20something is traveling a difficult road -- it takes many villagers and bumpy lessons to navigate to better lands.

I had a gf do this to me. She knew I never wanted kids. She waited until I just woke up and was still foggy, then she hit me with it. I took it well, said it's her body if that's what she wants to do, that's what we'd do. Obviously not thrilled about it. She admired me for taking it so well, then proceeded to go on "Well I think we should probably have another after, so they have a brother or sister." Again, I said yeah, that makes sense. She kept going until saying she wanted 5, at which point I figured something was fishy. She got me good. Then I got her back by putting a bar of lavender soap in her hot chocolate from dunkins, and it sat for hours in the fridge.

Probably same person who tried to say no pranks after 12:00pm. LOSERS

Maybe tell them separately. The older ones could be much more understanding and emotional and the youngest may be a little too nonchalant. I remember just repeating, yes, dead, never coming back. Dead dead. Yes, totally dead to my 3 year old about my grandma, then she went off to play while my 5 year old cried about it often for months.

Yeah setting a reminder or 2 takes like 10 seconds A good payment rate for the discount

Care to explain?

I do but my new barber says he can't do anything with just a picture of a pile of cut hair

Thank you!

I just had the center mount bracket pull the lag bolts out of the wall and I had a significant moment of "the willies" when I thought about the spring's power to destroy.

Had I known a safety wire was a thing, I would have paid the repair tech install one.

Ah, shit internet is unusable again for a day.

I hate that stupid day. Too many people make it about bullying and being mean. I’ve forbidden all “pranks” at my business after a guy played an awfully abhorrent prank on one of my employees. I mean……it was terrible!!

He was the only one laughing until I fired him.

My girlfriend proposed to me, but I just had average, un-manicured guy hands. We have our 29th anniversary in May, so my nails were not a problem.

Lol no I was thinking in case the person wanted to take pictures after! Not during the actual proposal

No. So you can have the press-ons handy to apply quickly for photos after the proposal is done.

So you can stop the moment and put your nails on while your partner is down on their knees?

Idk, seems a little rude and vapid.

I rarely see considerable discounts on Amazon subscriptions? Usually 5-15%. This sounds a bit over exaggerated to me.

The one I pulled last year was a sign on the printer saying it had an update and was now voice-activated.

I didn't think it would work until I heard someone say "print" a couple times...

bro how is that a lifeprotip. who is crazy enough not do that?

Thank you! I thought I was taking crazy pills

And I absolutely agree with your last point (and the rest of it)

We can only affect our own change before we can contribute on a larger scale

Everyone that's saying this is bad advice because fuck corporations or minimum wage minimum effort isn't paying attention and reading what OP actually said. They're saying to make the best of a bad situation and learn what you can while you're there, not to try and leverage a raise from a shitty boss, but to leverage more money from your next job.

Most people have at least one shitty job in their life, usually more than one. If you have a shitty job and you aren't actively looking for another job or taking steps to learn more skills to get a better job, you only have yourself to blame. Before anyone says companies should be forced to pay a living wage, I want you to ask yourself one question: what do you think is going to change first, your job or corporate pay policies?

or you could switch to Linux and never have that issue again!

If you think your partner is about to propose, you want it to happen, but it takes too long: propose yourself.
If you need a manicure for it get it once. Spend the rest of the manicure budget for a good dinner.
