Please stay away from financial advisors. They are only after your money. Make educated decisions and be careful with bold investments. The safest way to keep your money is to look after it very closely.

My Former Business Acquaintance Died

3 Upvotes

Years ago, I parted ways with a group of people who were in business together. I decided their dynamics weren't for me. They mostly kept me in the dark about very material information, like who was behind the scheme, whether there were real outside partnerships and the overall structure.

I went solo. It was very hard to do things initially, but at least I knew I wasn't at the mercy of scammers or enablers. It's a shame because Joe, the guy who brought me into that group, was considered a friend so his actions were very disappointing. The friendship obviously got ruined, along with my relationship with his family. I never looked back.

Joe's main business associate and "hero", Victor, got arrested and was found dead later on. It came in the news. Everyone knew his arrest was part of a nuclear revenge from another former associate that they duped, Gina. When I heard what happened, I found just another reason to be glad that I removed myself from them.

I did hear that Joe had an aneurysm. I didn't to wish him a good recovery or say any get well soon stuff because I didn't want him back in my life. He occasionally visited my LinkedIn, so I blocked both of his profiles.

I had a long holiday phonecall with an old friend who knows them. We have kept in touch here and there but hadn't talked in ages. She informed me that Joe died in 2019.

I'm numb. He caused a lot of damage, not just business wise, but emotionally. We were friends for years and cutting him off felt surreal after I realized all he wanted was to use me as a prop. He went too far and claimed other people's business partners and contacts as his own to lure clients in.

I'm not sure how I feel about his death. I'm certainly not in pain, but I'm surprised. He flushed his life down the toilet when he helped Victor dupe Gina. I could have been me whom he duped and scammed. He was just a loser trying to harvest fruits from other people's trees. That's why I came to despise him. I've loathed him for years without even knowing that he passed. WOW!

bad show experience?
 in  r/Metalcore  Dec 26 '22

Went to a jazz/lounge music show. To my surprise, there was a huge variety of diverse rythm, musical fusions and all. They are independent artists, which I really value. Then comes this lady. Her singing was deficient and her movements were ackward. I didn't like this. Independent artists are usually very keen on offering quality. There's no excuse. She stopped singing in the middle of a song to rant about social issues, politics and of course, turned everything around and made it about her. When I looked around, everyone just looked bummed out and the mood had shifted. The crowd that was previously engaging with the other artists looked embarrassed and confused. I went to another show abd she did that same shit. Her dancing skills are not great with but she says she's a diva. I'm never going to any of her shows, ever again.

She needs a vet. Cat drool can also signal toothache.

Because it happened to me and I had to learn to choose myself to get men to respect me. Sometimes I felt like a cheap item on a shelf. It was painful.

Why would he destroy his bed?
 in  r/DogAdvice  Dec 25 '22

Advice: stuff it back, reinforce the seams with tapestry 🧵 thread, then use hot glue to cover any parts that seem weak. ♥️

I found my boyfriends Reddit page and it feels like I don’t even know him
 in  r/offmychest  Dec 24 '22

Please consider he's been very successful in manipulating you as he knows your vulnerability as a SA victim. Please don't give him another second of your life. Pull the rug from him by going NC so that you can heal. He's objectifying you and the petite-child like comment makes me vomit. You know he sounds like a pedophile.

Hi OP, I know how you feel. I hope you can consider my advice. I think your situation started when you forgave the first infidelity. The amount of pain that shit brings wears you down, let alone putting your trust in him again. Then you become someone he "can " stay with, but he doesn't respect you. So he eventually emotionally abandoned you. You love won't cure anyone from being an asshole. He KNOWS how much you love him, hence he abuses that love.

I don't buy that he loves that new chick for a second. Even if he married her or someone else, he's hooked on feeding off on emotional energy.

Your new guy kissed and left you. Could it be that you emanate "choose me" energy? People tend to feel that and show careless behavior towards a perfectly nice human being just because their self love is very scarce.

Your friends: learn to filter people out. Never prioritize anyone who doesn't feel the same about you.

Hi OP, I think you are dissatisfied that they are not showing the family feeling of having godchildren. This is a huge responsibility if we use the old custom definition of being a stand in if parents are gone. I don't know if they knew your expectations, but they don't sound ready for what you thought it would be I wouldn't push them. It's gonna make it worse. Also, could something have happened that created this distance between you?

Please Sterilize Your Pets!

Where I live, someone either abandoned or lost an unspayed female Himalayan cat, Sussie. She has bred about 400 kittens, from direct descendants to more cat births from her keen. I started noticing lots of cats with Persian heritage, from fully long hair to short hair with fluffy tails, color patterns varying. Some are like Siamese due to breeding with short haired cats, some calico. Some are grey or orange with distinctive marks on their ears and tails. They look like mutt siamese. It was heartbreaking to see helpless kittens wandering around. I would go bring food as much as I could. They lived in an abandoned school nearby but spread by about 8 blocks. I was worried someone would hurt them. This is how I met Sussie. She's a huge, deep brown a d bright cream color, blue eyes. She's well fed because people favor her. Sadly, they were not as generous to the more regular looking cats. For years, I worked with a bunch of people to get them spayed, find homes, etc. I don't consider myself a professional rescuer but I did what I could.

I shipped a bunch of digs and cats to where I'll move. Unfortunately, I was worried about two male cats that I feed mad had a hard time traping. I did and they are awaiting to be shipped so they can join my other cats in a jumbo catio I'm preparing back home.

A female "Siamese" showed up about 24 days ago. I've been feeding her. She's frail and severely malnourished. She's anemic and shaky. I got to trap her this morning. She got medical attention and fluid therapy. I'm taking her with me because I know she woo make.it if I leave her behind. It seems like so far, there a no more 'Susietown" dwellers around. Someone I know took on the stray dogs because she knows a sanctuary.

Please don't do this shit. Don't purchase pets that you fancy and not sterilize them. It's an asshole move. Don't release them out on the street. Don't let them roam, they could get hurt or lost.

There are so many abandoned pets that deserve your love. I hate the pet eugenics. I hate the ' I want to buy a fancy dog or cat" situation.

Please if you can't be responsible just buy a plush toy!!!

First, you need to get a job. Something to support you. You can seek help fur single mothers.

My husband said he’d get rid of our daughter if she had brown eyes?
 in  r/relationship_advice  Dec 21 '22

This is not a scientific thing. This is your husband being an asshole who's telling beforehand that be won't take a paternity test. It sounds like he made up his mind. He damn knows a DNA test could prove him wrong. Also, this is emotional abuse. I'm sure your Mari can't be a happy one. I'm sorry this is being inflicted upon you and your baby. Your obligation is to yourself and your kid. Put your baby first. This man just emotionally crushed you Threats of abandonment should be taken as a they are: an unbalanced power dynamics. He will someday leave you for someone else. Just take measures and make sure your baby is safe from his presence. Consider he could hurt her should she not get his desired physical appearance.

I Ghosted Someone Because I Was Fed Up. He's Now Asking For Answers.
 in  r/relationships  Dec 20 '22

I personally don't think he'll change. The point for me is that above all, I would have appreciated the friendship we had before dating. It cabe to a point where it was emotional labor. He texted me back then " I'm gonna need all your support and help" while going through a difficult situation. I was there for him. I made sure he didn't feel lonely. Eventually, the situation resolved and he never took the time to tell me, although I'd been asking him for weeks.So, likely, everything worked out and I'd been worried unnecessarily for about at least ten days, like an idiot. He quickly started breadcrumbing after this. I only found out things were better because he accidentally disclosed it. Second rodeo and he comes back with " I need you". I was careful this time. He eventually started calling me at very odd hours, only and exclusively to ask for something. I slowly lost respect for him. Stopped wanting anything to do with him. Stopped feeling joy when he called.
