Could absolutely have been just a dick employee but i work retail in Sweden and here you need a receipt to return by law. We offer digital receipts as a bonus but the customer techincally is solely responsible for producing a physical receipt, so if we can't find it in the system (becausr the customer is anonymous for example, or the digital receipt got lost in a server transfer or expired) you can't physically create a return without the receipt. Might not be a matter lf not wanting to work, it could just either be impossible or the employee might get fired for going against policy even if its possible. Things are usually more complicated behind the scenes than just find product - click create return, computers are usually the boss and if the computer needs a reference number or something you can't really get around it. In our system it's a nightmare to find anonymous receipts even if you have the product number and purchase date, the search function sucks and there can be hidden information that makes the search harder (ordered on this date, paid on another date, delivered on yet another).

Its also pretty common for people to try to cheat the system, try to make a return after the open purchase period for example or return an old or broken product they bought somewhere else. I wouldnt put too much blame on the service staff, there is no incentive for him to deny your return really since service staff are usually not eligible for bonuses.

What thing is that? I bet you are better at that thing then 90% of us here.

Why would you deliberately kill potential trade sources

You are being deliberately obtuse here or you are naive, i'm not sure which. Its impossible to name a single colonial power that does npt have a long history of genocide, rape and enslavement. It's part of the imperialist agenda to instill fear in the locals, it's the only way to ensure they don't revolt or undermine you.

Maybe in an ideal world you could conquer without bloodshed by simple projecting power but it doesnt work that way in real life. You say the french wanted to keep trade relations, with whom? Your arguments lack both context and subtext. Algeria, vietnam, mozambique, french guinea all have a long history of french atrocities and oppression.

It doesnt matter if it doesnt make sense to you to kill the people they want to rule, it doesnt need to make sense for it to have happened. And it has, with no exceptions.

"They own it by right of conquest"

What right is there in conquest? Tell me what you consider to be the definition of conquest? If someone showed up and told you to leave and you said no and they said we'll kill you if you don't, what right do they have? There is no moral argument to be made in favor of the conqueror, on what ground do they claim the right? By extension, would you not consider it stealing if someone broke into your apartment and stole your late grandmothers necklace, as long as they threatened you with violence or put you in a choke hold you would be fine with it?

It happened, imperialism and colonialism was an atrocity but it happened. You dont need to condone it to acknowedge that we have reaped benefits from it, but it doesnt make it any more morally palatable. It's just the way things are.

I guess my point is just that you can't support imperialism without indirectly condoning horrible acts, you can't have one without the other. There can be no imperialism without things like genocide, slavery, discrimination, stealing of resources and cultural artifacts etc.

Saying you support imperialism but dont condone the methods is like saying you support hunting but don't condone shooting and killing animals. Imperialism comes from supremacist ideology and i think its pretty widely accepted today that supremacist ideals are cruel and misguided and essentially just an extension of tribalism. Yes it was part of what shaped our past, but just like slavery and torture that doesn't mean you should condone or support it.

How do you think you enforce this territorial expansion? The natives already live there and dont want to leave. You're basically saying that the ends justify the means. So you sre in favor of imperialism?

But did you apologize at all for YOUR comment? You are not absolved from guilt because you day youre joking, you need to meet her halfway on this and not use your authority as a parent to invalidate her feelings

Have you even told her that you were joking? She can't read your mind and the fact that you dont even wanna talk to her now will not make your true intentions any more obvious to her. As long as youre giving her the cold shouldwe you are basically acknowledging thst she was right and that you were trying to be malicious, you cant add more petty behavior like this without even adressing it or she will resent you forever.

It's just as much up to you to communicate clearly as it is for her to interpret it. I mean in her eyes you just attacked her, its not surprising she retaliated. I dont know your history but clearly there is more to it than just this interaction, people usually dont explode like this unless they are carrying pent up resentment.

She was quick to jump the gun but the message you sent wasnt really ambiguous and you say you wanted her to ask if you were joking but i have a feeling thst if she replied with "are you kidding?" You would not interpret it as a genuine question either. I think you need to swallow your pride and apologize and explain that you were trying to joke back but it came out wrong if you want to keep this relationship positive.

Obviously i cant say what your relationship is like in general but its a bit extreme to say you want to "cut her off" for being upset, shes your daughter. I understand you might not feel like she appreciates all youve done for her but try to see it from her perspective too. Instead of dismissing her concerns as "attacks" or her trying to slander you, try to understand WHY she feels that way. And try not to see it as her listing things that are "wrong with YOU" as a person, but rather as things that she is personally bothered by. Doesnt mean you are a bad person, it just means you both have different ideas of how to communicate and be there for eachother and you need to bridge that gap with humility if you want you guys to get along. If you keep going like this you will both just feed a spiral of resentment that will just keep growing

Saying you dont want to talk to her after this seems like a part of the problem. You need to talk to her about this, you cannot let your pride get in the way. She has genuine concerns and ignoring them will just make her resent you more.

Your tone in your reply really doesnt read as jovial at all. This is a problem with using text as a medium in general, you can't convey tone or intent. You need to make it more obvious that you're being fatecious if that was your intention, make it light-hearted. It might be obvious to you what you were trying to convey but you need to consider how it reads objectively. No one wants to hear their mom say they sucked the life out of them, i would be upset too.

You say you meant to make a light hearted jab, the problem is ypu will just sound like you are backpedaling if you say you were joking now, which is why its important to always be extra obvious with your intentions in text. If you ended the text with a simple winking face it would look much more light hearted.

This works for things like cleaning but if i put on music for anything that requires focus i just get lost in the music instead. I enjoy it way too much to have it on in the background if i'm sitting down

See this is why people stopped trying. It's pointless, you are missing the point. The other girl doesnt matter. YOU are the other girl. Stop trying to impress some dickhead who enjoys toying with your feelings and go find someone that likes you for you. You are an emergency solution, when other girls have enough self respect to say no he knows that you won't. Either accept that he doesnt care about you at all and use him for meaningless sex or MOVE ON, there is no great mystery here to be solved. The more you obsess over this the less interested he will be in you. The best thing you can do if you want his attention is to give him NONE back. Dont even talk to him, date other guys and live your life and not his.

Proper way to do it is look at the evidence and then draw a conclusion, the nistake they make is they already have a conclusion and look for evidence to support it, which means evidence against it is discarded. Its putting the cart before the horse

My genuine answer to you id that this guy has 0 interest in you beyond the sex. If he's playing around with so many other women all the time the answer is simple, you are one of them. You are not special to him, he treats you all the same way and its pointless to try and figure out why he does things. He's selfish and wants validation and sex from as many people as possible, you should move on and find someone who wants you for you.

Literally every reply i've seen you make is you ignoring their comment and reålying with "but why would he do or say X if Y?" And we can't possibly tell you that because he is the only one with answers.

I feel like you dont want advice, you just want us to say what you want to hear

Can you not see how insane this behavior is? Stop making new accounts to post the same story, you don't listen to anyones advice and we can't answer your questions. Its not healthy to be this obsessed, move on.

Det här måste vara det lataste försöket till politisk satir jag någonsin sett, hört talas om subtext? Inte kul eller tankeväckande åt varken höger eller vänster

Its not disrespectful if she asks you to do it, if it's only about respect you can drop that as a reasoning. Its up to her what she considers disrespectful or not, it's possible that she feels invalidated when you explain to her that what she's asking for is disrespectful. It might make her feel ashamed that she asks for it at all. If you are just uncomfortable with it in general ans are not willing to compromise you are just incompatible.

Maybe try indulging her one night and see what it feels like? If it just feels icky all the way through then by all means follow your heart but maybe consider it "roleplay" and give it a try? Think of it this way, she wants YOU to do that to her, and you know you tespect her so you dont have to feel guilty for engaging in it.

Ja, lokförarna måste verkligen ha skitit på sig när det stod en unge i en myrstack på spåret

I know exactly what you mean, i've had the same experience. We weren't a couple but we were fwb and she was constantly on tinder, telling me about all the guys she had orbiting her, whenever we went out for a drink or something she would have at least 3 guys hitting on her. She encouraged me to use tinder as well and acted like it was just as easy for me to hook up with anyone. She would constantly describe other people as beautiful or how she would like to fuck and make out with them but if i agreed or said the same thing she would act like i said something inappropriate. If your situation was anything like mine i can tell you right now she was being manipulative. This woman would constantly "test" me despite us not dating, implying she was having a crisis so i would drop everything to come make her company, she would text me good morning and good night and get sour if i didnt reply fast enough but two days later she'd act like i was annoying her.

At the end of the day she got bored of me and said she only wanted to be friends from then on and 3 days later she fucked my childhood friend and told me about it as if i should be excited for her. She said and did a lot of things to make me believe i was important to her and when we met she was insecure and had basically not seen anyone for a year or more, but after she got all the validation and attention she wanted out of me she felt confident again and realized she could do better i guess. A woman who knows she is attractive never has to be lonely, but i guess it comes with its own drawbacks.

You are right about that

I've always had that policy with psychadelics and probably should have extended it to ketamine et al too. Weed is the exception because i'm so used to it that i rarely get high enough to be vulnerable in some way

They started using antisemitic dogwhistles like 1488 and talked about how swedish society was under attack and all that. One of them said "1488" and i reacted to it by smiling knowingly and one of them said "see, he gets it, he's one of us". I have friends who are contrarians and would make crude jokes and the tone was completely different

I'm no stranger to drugs and its nice to finally know what the k-hole feels like all things considered, could use better company next time though.

There' something called Youtube Kids thats designed for children, use that instead of Youtube Shorts as shorts is designed to be like tiktok which is not appropriate for children. I understand this doesnt help resolve the situation at hand in hindsight but its basically the cause of the problem.

Don't let your kids use the internet unsupervised. I got access to the internet unmoderated for the first time when i was like 12 and if i was my own parent and knew what i would later see on the internet i would not have let myself use it. Even a simple link in the comments can lead to very adult content thst children are not mature enough for.

Same dude, i have a hard time believing any future album is going to beat Colors and Parallax 2 tbh, literally the two best albums of all time imo

Between The Buried And Me

Prog metal at its core but extremely genre-experimental

I truly believe they haven't made a single bad song as weird as they are
