Q: Reaching a Resolution with Girlfriend on using Hard Drugs Once a Year

electronpusherIf there is a Stack site this question is better suited for, please advise. I consider it relevant to interpersonal skills because it centers on the skill of negotiating/resolving a disagreement between two people (in a committed relationship). I am a 28 year old male college graduate with a ful...

Q: Does autism "explain" a lack of interpesonal skills or is it another word for them?

zoobyHere's what I'm thinking. Person lacks interpersonal skills. Goes to doctor. Doctor. "Here is a questionaire to test if you have autism spectrum disorder." Question 1. "Do you lack interpersonal skills?" Patient: "Yes". [Other questions here]. Doctor: "I diagnose you to be on the autism spe...

@ankii Indeed, and that's why I am annoyed that some people are trying to distinguish that 'party performance pressure' from ragging. Just because it's less bad doesn't mean it's not essentially the same thing.
@Ælis Yea sorry I hadn't been straightforward enough. =)

So, whose working today? (please, tell me I'm not the only one :p )
 
@Ælis goes hiding
 
@avazula You better send some cute Fedora pictures if you want me to forgive you :p
 
*looks at bicycle* Uh...
 
@Mithical Maybe you could send some cute bicycle pictures too :p

@Ælis waves hand
 
9:34 AM
Totally unmotivated for doing a training session rn
 
@AJ Yay! :D
@Mithical I can't blame you for that. Also, nice hat!
 
Thanks. I have no idea how I got it, though...
I didn't try for any hats this year yet wound up with 16.
Actually, wait, I did try for one. I put off asking a question by three minutes. :P
 
@Mithical Lucky you x) I believe you earn this one by gaining 2020 rep since the start of winter bash
 
would make sense

@Ælis You can always ask me if I am working on the day you're working. 90% chances for yes. ;P
 
9:42 AM
@AJ That kind of makes me sad for you though :/
Also, I just realized that, even though I am working at "only" 75%, I am earning more money than 50% of the French population. Life isn't really fair :/

9:54 AM
@Ælis You got a day off on 1st Jan?
 
@AJ Yes. Do you?
 
A J
Yep.
 
@Mithical I just realize that you are almost a 100k user. That's impressive!

@Ælis :)
 
@Ælis o_o
I'm a bit puzzled because I got what's supposed to be my overtime payment and for like ... 80hours, I think? (I took the rest as vacation) I got like 8-10times less money than I should have. Tax is hard, but not that much!
 
@avazula 1500€/month is "the middle" (so, if you earn more, you earn more than 50% of the population) and 3000€/month is 90% I believe (if I remember correctly)
 
@Ælis that's little when you know the cost of life in this country...
 
@avazula :/ You might try to "innocently" ask RH about that (like in: "hey, can you explain to me how the payment for overwork works?"). So, if they made a mistake/didn't pay you enough, they might realize it then. (but don't get your hopes too up. I wouldn't be surprise if the overtime system was design to sr*w people over)
@avazula Yeah, that's really saddening. And when you know the Presiden earn 15000€ a month!
 
@Ælis I already checked with them, it's supposed to be paid 150/175% of the normal price (depending on the type of overtime) and I shouldn't be paying much tax. Heh, we'll see when the pay note comes and why is that
 
10:34 AM
@avazula Then, maybe they don't have the correct number of overtime you did? Or you are ruinning them and they don't have enough money to pay you x)
 
@Ælis nah nah they have all that info and told me they would. Anyway, I'm not after the money, I'm just trying to understand (because the tax administration seems not to have been taken into account again and so I feel like I don't understand the first thing about money and it's driving me crazy :o)
Boom! Cat.
 
@avazula Even if you are not after the money, I perfectly understand that you would want to understand. I know I'm very much unhappy when I feel someone didn't give me what they should. For me, it's not about the money, it's about trust and respect
@avazula Oh, nice!
 
We found her long lost favorite ball in the garden this morning. She was so happy!!
 
10:50 AM
@avazula Oh, I'm glad for her! But also, your garden is very small, how did you managed to lost something in there? x)
 
She's good. Trust me, she's very good.
 
x)
 
The hair bands I lost to her are countless
 
What a smart (or dumb?) kitty :p
 
Morning. Actually, afternoon.
I'm having really bad anxiety at the moment. One of my colleagues asked me why I used "an ugly solution" that "broke all his work". Do you have any suggestions?
I'm on the verge of crying because I feel incompetent, so I try to tell myself it's okay, but then I swing towards feeling unprofessional for almost crying over nothing
 
11:17 AM
Hie you all
 
11:52 AM
@Belle hope you’re okay now. It’s an hour since then. Get a coffee, and a walk
I can recommend Vox’s video about crying, which they say is good. Also that, don’t hold grudges against your colleague, their anger is temporary

Q: What do we do with questions involving the use of substances?

OldPadawanI'm asking about this question, where using drugs is the main goal of the OP. My opinion has already been done long time ago: drugs are bad. But this is a personal opinion, and not the point. What I want to raise here, and where our community opinions are important, is this: What do we do with ...

 
12:26 PM
Hey there, I am so sorry you are going through that :/ My advise would be to take all the time off that you need and not feel guilty about it (because it's not like you are able to correctly work in a mindset like that). So, go hide in a quiet place (I usually use the bathroom) and let yourself do whatever you want (reading stuff to change your mind or just crying). Hopefully, you will feel better tomorow (I usually need to sleep in order to "reset" my emotion and regain control of them)
Also, please, don't feel bad for "almost crying over nothing". You are human. Humans have emotions and s

@EmC Are you "happy holidays" sensitive too ? ;)
 
@ankii what do you mean?
 
Some people want Merry Christmas to be the phrase, instead of happy holidays. They see it as an attack on their .. idk something.
 
oh, that. I'm fine with people wishing whatever :)
 
haha okay
 
@EmC I'm actually against the idea of wishing, so if you could cut that out please?

@scohe001 bah humbug :p

Thanks for your messages earlier, everyone <3 I had a sob in the bathroom, a coffee and a walk. That all helped.

I can understand why she would not want something like Skype which requires you both to be "on" at the same time, but I also understand your frustration with a media which discourages deeper conversations. Have you tried emailing her? You can get a lot of newsy and personal information in that way, and it might satisfy her time difference difficulties. — Francine DeGrood Taylor 2 mins ago

Wish I could upvote this more than once. It's really something every prospective set of partners ought to do in the first bloom of their income consolidation. Creating a budget and having a commitment to it from both partners is a huge step toward avoiding a major source of relationship stress, ie, money. — Francine DeGrood Taylor 15 secs ago

@scohe001 have a star my good sir (here and on github lol)
Ugh. I wanna go outside for a vape break but Fedora is on my lap, purring. I'd feel like a bad mother if I left her here like that!
Why do I have to have a soul
 
when I need Juno to get off my lap I try to trim her claws... either way I win :p
 
Hahaha
