last friday i got to work, and i did the dishes, restocked the soda, wiped down/sweeped the lobby, refilled the boxes, sorted the screens, and i was taking orders between all this, and then after i did all that i took a in person order and then a phone order and then i was standing at the front counter for literally 5 seconds trying to think abt what to do next and my manager got mad and sent me home for not doing anything,

sigh.

So i had a Samsung galaxy book flex alpha, which idek how i got to play alot of games, and basically do anything, but about a year ago it broke.

I’ve really wanted another one to play stuff on for awhile but i haven’t been able to, but recently i got a job (im 18) and i decided to invest some of the money i made into one!

id prefer around 500$ range, but if i have to spend more i will, i honestly have no idea what i want or what to start, mainly i just want to be able to play minecraft Java, which is what i used to play on my old laptop with mods, and i suppose arc raider (my friend wants to play it with me sigh)

and idek what else, all my friends all have pcs and play stuff together and i feel left out 😔

i’m 18 and this is my first job, i feel like they kinda threw me in the deep end pretty quick but idk.

like my first day they had me taking orders and calls on my own while all the other workers were doing other things away from the front desk, but my manager was there so he helped me a lot tbf.

the second day was pretty much the same, but today but manager wasn’t there and they didn’t arrange for anyone to train me.

so i showed up and was so confused what to do, i asked one of the drivers that i had become friendly with for guidance 😭 and the girl who was also on the front register shift whatever, said she’d help me and she did.

I think i am getting the hang of it, but i have def gotten a few ppl frustrated/mad at me on the calls.

the people making the pizzas kept messing up the orders too, because people kept calling and getting mad at me for it, but i would check their orders and they would be put in right but they just received something else,

my coworker said it happens a lot which i honestly do not want to deal with sigh.

2 people also called in and got mad at me for not knowing their order because they always get the same thing and apparently all the other workers memorized their orders already.

the coupons also rlly overwhelm me, and it’s hard for me to understand, i mainly just offer them the LG three topping pizza for 9.99 or the medium three topping pizza for 7.99 but when they ask for anything else im just so lost.

people over the phones really have no patience either.

they also dont want me not doing anything so when nobody is coming in or calling i also feel a bit lost the amount of times ive wiped down everything is crazy i try to keep sorting screens though. that’s all i rlly know so far 😭 i want my main manager to come back but he’s not for a few days ugh atleast not scheduled w me.

i have work again tomorrow but then im off the next day and im lowkey tempted to call out. 😐 i know i shouldn’t though and ill prob end up making myself go. idk i just wish somebody was there to actually train me.

any advice or tips would be helpful pls

i left twitter forever ago but i saw a post from this subreddit pop up on my fyp 😭 i feel like if you were in the twitter fandom you’d know me (even if it was for the worst 💀) idk how much of reddit fans and twitter fans overlap tho

(18F) (background, you can skip this if you like) I was raised christian, but when my parents got divorced my dad got extra super religious and pushed that onto me, and the deeper into it i went the more i realized how evil it can actually be, and how much of it i disagree with.

i had to go to church multiple times a week, have one on one meetings with the pastor, and was told that every part of my life i had to use the bible to decide it.

i think what rlly made me realize what it actually was, was when i was in a meeting with my pastor and i brought up how so many innocent children and people were being killed in Palestine by Israel (my church was very openly pro Israel,) and i was told by the pastor that those people deserved to die because they’re evil because of their religion, and compared them to being “inhuman” and that god wanted it, and that in the bible god kills “bad” people.

after that i realized alot of what christianity is, is just people using god and christianity to hate on people the disagree with or don’t understand, like being gay is a big example for me.

i thought it was supposed to be about love, but i realized it was just about hate, and that christianity wasn’t bringing me contentment or happiness and wasn’t worth being apart of.

at first i said i believed in god and the bible still, but wasn’t christian, but then i realized i don’t even believe in that. and only was apart of it because i was forced to.

for awhile i felt lost without a religion, but then i found out about buddhism, i looked into it and i really love what it stands for, and the messages, even the small little things i have learned so far have really helped me mentally, i feel like buddhism is what christianity pretended to be. i’ve also always believed in reincarnation even when i was a christian, idk why it just always made the most sense to me. my best-friend, the first time i met her i felt connected to her like i knew her for ages even though we were completely different, and we both were so quickly comfortable with eachother.

(End of backstory)

i’ve never joined a new religion idk where to start, what to learn or why to read, just anything, if anyone could help me i’d really appreciate it thank you!

Location: Oregon. last year my dad found out my 15 year old sister had a secret phone which she wasn’t supposed to have because she wasn’t allowed a phone due to a pattern of bad behavior like smoking drinking sneaking out getting in trouble at school ect.

when he found her phone he took it and decided to go to the gym to cool off so he can handle it well, while she waited in the car, my sister freaked out abt getting her secret phone taken and came inside and told the workers that she was being abused (she wasn’t) bringing up things like not having a phone ect, understandably the workers were concerned and called the cops, so the cops came, they were familiar with my family and my sister having to deal with her before. and expressed that it was fine but the cop talked with my sister to get her to calm down during this time my dad went back into the gym to let her calm down, after 40 minutes the cop cleared the scene and left my sister in the lobby.

during the time of the cop leaving and my dad still being in the gym, the workers took her in the back and told her to run out through the spa doors. and so she did, my dad came out asking where she was and the workers refused to tell him and instead laughed and mocked him as he argued about getting his daughter back.

during the time of her being gone she slept in the park with homeless people drinking and doing who knows what. until 11 days later when she was found by the cops and arrested to be put back into my dads custody, but instead she was given to my mom who encourages and allows this self harmful behavior of drinking and smoking, sneaking out, partying ect, again she was 15 at this time and is now 16.

This is why my dad is suing the gym, he also has proof from multiple therapists and doctors that it caused emotional trauma from her being gone for so long.

now why he is suing the police station is because, after this incident the police sergeant who was not part of the case at all and was not there nor did he read the police report, called the gym and told them to terminate his membership and trespass him, he then called my dad using unprofessional language and calling him insults. he has a tort claim against ty police sergeant if he doesn’t settle he will sue him in federal court.

he is currently in the process of suing both, (he doesn’t want to pay for a lawyer so he uses ai 💀 and is his own laywer) The gym paid a high end laywer from portland to fight against him,
what is his chances of winning

Back when there was only like 10 bots to choose from and you couldn’t make your own, I used to change my time zone to bypass it, I guess they patched it tho

it almost feels like two different ppl, like my mind me and my irl me, and like esp when im stressed or smth bad happened my mine me will talk me through it 😭😭

Like

“listen just calm down” my mind

“but what about —-?” me responding

“there’s nothing you can do abt it now”

“i’m super upset”

“it’s not a big deal in a week from now this will just be a memory”

“okay 😓”

LIKE IDK is that cringe lol, it actually does help alot, growing up i didnt rlly have anyone therefor me or to talk to me, so i just started talking to myself idk lol,

i think it does help me get out of my head (ironic enough) and ground me,

is this normal?
