It's GBS. Why is a call for people to kill themselves being made anonymously instead of direct like usual? And why did HH get probd for posting a second-hand call to suicide when like probably 10% of the posts here are first-hand "kill urself OP" or similar? Free HH and then everyone kill themselves is what I'm saying I guess.

Because policing internet forum is arbitrary and is inconsistent, there is no trial or jury, just arbitrary judgement by individual who all have different views on what is and is not acceptable discussion.

That K mart story is depressing for two reasons; being stuck in that kind of Rut and working at K mart for so long. You probably should've taken your parents advice. I was a lazy goon too and my sole motivator was not wanting to work in retail hell any longer than I have to.

If you're a fat loser that has no hope of ever improving why not buy better drugs than weed (or at least booze). You'll feel better + die quicker

Just remember that no matter how much money or fun you have you will eventually get to an equilibrium. It's why rich people can be depressed when it seems impossible for poor people. If you're sort of happy now, that's probably as good as most people have it.

Whenever I get calls from firms asking me to talk about him, I tell them stories about what drugs he was hooked on, what desperate poo poo he did while he was at the low point of his life, and mention that while he’s fine now, he could relapse at any moment. quote:I have a problem with the weirdest sort of synesthesia. No, I'm not seeing tones as colors. It's also very specific, there are only two songs at the moment that trigger the association;

Bad job reference goon, are you sabotaging this guy on purpose or is this an "aw shucks I'm just telling them the truth" kind of thing, because if it's the latter you should probably give him the "list someone else as a reference" pointer at some point

"My friend"? What the gently caress is this? Who would legitimately do this to an actual friend? He's most likely worked harder than you ever have trying to overcome his addictions, and you're just standing there, at the top of the ladder, with a boot on his face. Good job, fuckface

Each one is a dead department store-- Caldor, Bradless, American Woolworth's... if any one of them is removed all the K-Marts in the world will close that very day.

And when the last K-mart closes, its undead spirit will be added to the group and will prop up another dying chain. It's never-ending.

You absolutely should give an honest review of a person if they put you down as a reference. That's not the bad part, everything the guy said is likely true and of great interest to the employer. However, you also have the obligation to say "I like you, but I can't give a good reference for you in good faith" if someone asks and you can't.

# ? Aug 12, 2016 16:30 |

Why should a good faith reference include stories about a person's drug addictions? I'm assuming the guy isn't referring his "friend" for a position at his current workplace.

if you can't lie to an employer (that you don't work for) to help your friend out you are a piece of poo poo, and I hope your friend saved an infected needle to stab you with when he finds out

I don't think its cool to demand someone lie for you, but like, if they ask 'hey could you give a positive reference' and you're like 'SURE FRIEND' and than don't do that maybe you're a shitsoul.

Non anonymous confession: every morning my dog jumps on the bed and lays down on me in a way that her elbows jab my sack. I'm starting to think was trained to do this by her previous owner. I got her from a friend who's helping me with my recovery from drugs and alcohol. He's been giving me pointers on my resume, and even acting as a reference for me. I'm probably just paranoid about the dog nut bashing thing. Wish me luck, time for some more interviews.

Dogs are notoriously bad about sack awareness and personal space, plus the sack is warm and comfy if you're a retarded beast. Just smack it on the head and bellow at it and it'll get the message 'don't jump on dudes dicks'

That's what I was saying - if you don't think you can provide a good one, just say so. If he's clean now surely he'd understand that he hosed a lot of friends over as a result of his problem. References lose their meaning if you're supposed to say "yeah sure hire that guy" no matter what because of some ~friend code~ or something. You should only be asking people for references that you know have a positive view of your skills and personality, not some random friends. That'd be OK when you're looking for a publix bagger job at 16 because you won't have anybody else, but as an adult you should know you can't count on a 100% positive review based just on your friendship. One of my closer friends applied for a job with the DOD and I got interviewed and I told them the truth, including the unsavory bits of them seeming to have a drinking problem etc (and I mentioned if they asked about it I'd have to disclose it and they were ok with it). They still got the job. I'd even argue lying for your friends on references is just setting them up for failure. Tell the truth or don't agree to be a reference.

if you ask someone that is your friend for a job reference for a random company that he has nothing to do with and he says "i don't know if I can in good faith tell a Job Creator something untrue durrrrrrrr" then that's a clean shoot in Stand Your Ground states, just sayin'
