she later told me that I was anti-authoritarian and more likely to do what I thought was right rather than what I had been instructed to do. I am still baffled to this day about how that is an undesirable attribute

It isn't unless you're a corporation trying to keep employees down.

I won't be forced to work 6 days again and actually a good 3 days off so I can recharge for once.

Advertisers have been doing stuff like this since forever to get you to look. Some ads will subtly add extra limbs that you won't notice by glancing at it but your brain notices something is off and will make you want to look closer

I used to browse it about 15-20 years ago.It used to be a good place to learn tricks about all sorts of electronics. I'm not sure exactly what happened but it was like a switch flipped and they got awful almost overnight. Probably bought out.

Yeah. I tried talking about once with my grandma because I had been failing college courses after my mom lied about vitamin pills and forced me to take them, (they were prozac) and it fucked with my brain chemistry so bad I couldn't eat or sleep and the world felt like a dream where anything outside a small bubble simply didn't exist to my brain. Like I could see it but my brain would not acknowledge it's existence. The exact words I got back from her were "What such bullshit!" in a very angry tone.

I haven't even been able to think about mentioning anything related to my anxiety and depression since then to anybody I know irl because I'm afraid of that response again. There's a really bad social stigma in the states about only weak minded people have mental disorders and we can't get the help we desperately need. It's especially worse if you're a male because then you're not real man in the eyes of your peers. It makes trying to function at work nearly impossible, it makes trying to go out and do basic errands difficult, it makes keeping social relationships difficult. I've lost count of the friends I've lost contact with because all I want to do is just sit in a dark quiet room by myself most days. The isolation is crushing. I have a friend that keeps trying to get me to "come back" as it were and I'm trying, I really am but I struggle to find the energy to do so and I don't know what to do anymore at 36 years old. Life gets just a little shitter every day and I already feel like I'm well beyond my breaking point and the only think keeping me going is fear of being homeless.

Yes I feel that some context with a linked post is mandatory. Besides risking malware or scams, a bare minimum should be required when posting. Just a link isn't enough.

At one of my old jobs I remember getting a 9.2 out of 10 on a performance report. When they called me in for a meeting I was thinking I was getting a pat on the back. Nope. It was "you could've done better". That was the day I learned to stop trying and just say fuck it at any job since then.

They. Do. Not. Care. So if I'm going to be treated the same regardless if I put in 110% or 50%, then why bother?

Wont this come back to bite him the ass legally? This feels like some sort of fraud and any smart investor would run away from this deal wouldn't they? I know I'd second guess myself if I saw a client pull this level of childishness.

No one wants to admit they ate 9 cans of ravioli.

Unfortunately from what I've seen on big gaming subs is that enough users simply don't care. Take a look at /r/rocketleague for example. Mods made a post saying they can't permanently black out the sub due to it being owned by psyonix and the top comment on that thread has hundreds of up votes and comments saying they don't care about the API changes. It's really that mentality of "I don't care unless I'm personally affected" is why we're in this mess to begin with!

Sounds like you should stay there. You know, to trigger them.
