I got my 4 year temporary regularization visa and then just left the country right before it expired without notifying them or anything. Do you think/know if it's possible to come back and recover it and pay for the permanent one? 🙏🏻 I ran out of money real bad but I've got more now and it's cold here. Thank you

Ok I work with someone who I've had the occasional deep chat with. We've trauma bonded over bitching about our toxic work place a few times and I've been to her house a few times. The problem is... I am very lonely and she is a higher grade of interaction than the every day so I keep getting drawn in but I always regret it. I even left early and abruptly after going back to her house, telling myself I wouldn't do it again but talking myself into it "nobody's perfect, you have to give people a second chance, etc". She talked nonstop without barely pausing for breath the second I stepped in. I lasted 45 mins before throwing in the towel.

I have a project that's very important to me and I have the opportunity to bring someone along. I offered it to her because we were doing good that week, its going to be a bit of a treat, and I thought it might be fun. But the next day, she was back at it again, questioning my judgement, being overbearing and talking over me, being difficult in general. Everything I've experienced with her, I've overheard her complaining to others that others are complaining to her about.

I realized the project isn't two hours but a half day. I felt exhausted thinking about dealing with her for that long. I do NOT want her joining me after all. I have chosen another coworker but I haven't told her this yet.

I suspect she accidentally overheard me asking this person if they are available that day too because once I realized she was still at her desk, she left without saying a word which is unlikely her.

I plan to tell ger tomorrow but no idea what to say. I've mentioned my issues with her attitude before but she laughed it off. So she knows. I still would rather lie. I'm not looking forward to it becausebI don't want to hurt her feelings and also don't want to deal with more combative attitude.

Any suggestions?? 🫩 Thanks for reading!

Unfortunately though, I cannot sue my broke loser parents who've been renting, moochers on welfare for decades but if I could, I would.

SHTF is a prepper acronym for when things collapse and everyone is panicking. We saw a light version of that with COVID. Food shortages are coming. Stay awayyyyyy from those who flagrantly have had condomless sex when this all goes down. They were selfish enough to pointlessly force a kid into existence now for NO REASON, best believe they'll slit your throat for a twinkie for their walking biolab screaming shitling when there's no more 911 to call.

Are any of you preppers?

Hit rock bottom and left without paying my credit card and cash advance. I've got the money now and want to go back and pay it. My BBVA is closed...tried doing it online with my credit card, won't accept it. It had already gone to collections as well so I'll have to sort that out. I'm just wondering if I might have trouble getting back in the country as a tourist due to this. Anyone know?

My parents couldn't keep it in their pants, and now Im here for no reason, trapped in end stage capitalism working until I die and the machine grinds me up and keep going. Nice. I saw something on Wilipedia that chilled my blood last week. Out of all the horror movies and true crime tales, this random google search showed me something about this human body I'm trapped in that has scared the hell out of me. Putting it in spoilers in case you'd rather not be scarred for lifebut I'm scared and have no one to talk about it with. If you check itnout, tell me if I'mbeing weird. Suffice to say, human bodies are scary and you'retrapped until death do you part. Thanks mom and dad! >!Brain death wilipedia page and scroll to the Lazarus effect video 😓!<

My current job has been hell with a few nice benefits, always ruined by someone at the job for some reason. I have gained fifty...thats right, FIVE ZERO pounds in under one year taking on everyone else's stress for a job that pays the same as a manager at Best Buy for example, but this is a highly profitable private industry. They have me doing the job of five people but won't give me a raise, meanwhile the company is making record profit and the owner keeps buying toys, homes and going on trips. I will be quitting and pursuing my art which has supported me in the past. I am entitled to 3 sick days. I took one on Friday to get a long weekend. I want to use the other two tomorrow and Tuesday but I feel bad. I think I deserve it though. I'm not blaming them for my weight gain, I made that choice and abandoned myself and mismanaged my stress. Im taking this time off to get back on track, restart my self employment and apply for less stress part time.work that will pay the exact same lol. I pointed that out to show what I have been going through. My coworker developed a drinking problem before she left. She was awesome too... warned me about this place but I thought I could hack it. I'm looking for encouragement to call in for the next two days and get paid for it before quitting in a week. All legal and no documentation required. Thanks 🙏

I sort of slid into doing a new role for my company on top of my normal position. I am interacting with stakeholders now and they're asking my title. Its generic and moderately paid, I am telling them that title. I went to my boss and made a case, he had a million excuses and said to wait, which is fair, theres a lot factors that go into a decision like this. But now I see an "anonymous" company has posted this exact position locally offering 4x my current salary. We are in the middle of nowhere, it's him who posted. When I came to him about a raise and title change, he threw out a suggestion of an extra 200 dollars a month which I did not accept. There is work waiting to be done which I am being grossly underpaid for. I am considering quietly laying off those duties for now.

I'm frustrated and irritated. Help.

And for the record, he has a history of treating people like this, it's not personal.

My parents forced me into this world with their skin color which means no matter who I am as a person, I will have trouble finding a partner in the western world, jobs will hesitate to hire me or immediately try to lowball me while expecting more slave labour than most. People get to decide if they want to be racist to me every day, it's not a crime. Etc etc etc. They decided this was an acceptable thing for me to endure. Truly unbelievable.

Entire meeting recorded in video and sent to everyone including the CEO today and I had no idea until it was sent to me after. I feel exploited. This is Canada, anyone have any experience with responding to this? I'm thinking of just not having my camera on from now on, cry and moan though they might.

So there's what seems to be a growing movement. They've sent me an invite to their subreddit (I assume due to my affiliation with this one) and I've seen their videos on tiktok.

I get mad, think they're annoying edgelord freaks and bail everytime.

Today it occurred to me this is how the average person sees antinatalists.

Because I know antinatalists have deep empathy, logic and reasoning skills, I'm hoping someone here can help me square this circle.

How are we different?

And how can we be more palatable for the mainstream who need our message the most?

I'd say my first two golden rules are:

1. Don't ever try talking to parents. Even if they're thinking of having more kids, their hormones are in the way now. They have a sunken cost fallacy of already being "in it", no harm to have more now..etc.

OH ...I just answered my own question. Antinatalism is not about killing anybody lol. Nobody is dying with our philosophy.

All humans dying would yes, end human suffering. But with antinatalism, I think we are trying to make a difference where we can. I don't think any of us are deluded into believing we could prevent everyone on earth from procreating.

Oh and my number 2 rule is: when speaking to potential enforcers of children sentenced to exist on earth, don't use judgement ie "your child will suffer", use children's rights talking points and questions.

Awful fucking week, man. I mean, a lot of beautiful little moments here and there but I had to drag myself out of bed and slap life into my face. Coffee AND energy drinks or nothing at all. Today, finally, everyone was gone from the office. I put a good song in my headphones and was cruising away on my project, finally making progress. I was in the golden zone and omg even started dancing while working at my stand up desk.

Until.

Someone of the brand of humans who have repeatedly shown up as purposefully clueless and entitled shows up in my peripheral vision and makes his way over to my fuckong desk. At 4 in a Friday. To ask me clueless and inane questions that because my parents forced me into this world while broke, I have to answer.

I've had to smile, be endlessly patient and helpful to this brand of clueless and annoying human or end up on the street.

I could have hit that fucking man. You see a woman dancing, with headphones on. Enjoying

Enjoying herself. Busting her ass so you can be even ore of millionaire and you need to come over and ask where her coworker is when her desk is cleaned up for the weekend and it's obvious she gone. You need to interrupt and ask if what she left on her desk woth your name on it after calling and telling you it was here is Indeed yours and bumble around asking for kleenex and what not 😓😓😓😓 I hate my life man. I never get a goddamn break. Get home and neighbors kids are screaming at ear splitting volume outside. I hate hate hate my life.

Man 😭

I don't want to do it. Would you? Why or why not.

Imagine you forced a child into this existence.for no flippin reason and now they have to work. During the apocalypse.

I'm so angry at my parents. Who are senile and do not care, as always.

First date and this guy opens his mouth wide, middle of conversation to stick his finger i to his ba k teeth, scratched food out with his nail, wiped it on his jeans and kept on with the conversation like nothing. I was disgusted. Am I asking for too much? Basic hygiene and table manners at this age??

I don't know if you guys remember me but I was losing my mind, in Thailand for years surviving off this and other platforms. It was hell. I lived paycheck to meagre ass paycheck. Finally had to throw in the towel.. called everyone I know back home and begged for a plan ticket and place to stay. I got on that plane wearing cheap clothes I'd worn throw smoke and rainy seasons for years, carrying all I had left in 2 giant Walmart reusable bags. Couldn't get a single callback in Canada for four months. I had sticker shock over the prices and was constantly freezing. But finally... I found something. They flew me out, put me up, pay me well. I have benefits now. I am sad and don't want to live here but I thoguht I was dead and done back then. I got a new chance. You can too. These companies are so predatory. There's always another way. Good luck

Its against my beliefs to actively end my life but if things go sideways badly and I suspect they might...oh wait... thisnisncollapse support nvm... um, well I think I would be happy i didn't have to go to work anymore. I'd enjoy nature, relax, read books and slowly get through my extremely small food and beverage stash. After that, I hope I could just lay there and wait. Not likely, I know.

But I don't see the point of stashing food when I don't know if I will even keep/be able to afford this apartment. I have no car to move my stash with or anything to defend it with.

It seems like stressing about how to extend the life of picked flowers in a vase. You have to accept that despite everything you do, they will wilt and die. Why stress, just enjoy.

I have a feeling life must be worth fighting for but why and when is enough, enough? Maybe it's only instinct and DNA drive telling me that. My heart and brain are tired.
