Yeah, see a doctor. There might be medicine to mitigate the symptoms.

So I read it and thought oh I read that wrong what the hell is a horse-flipper how would you do that?

Then I read the rest of the question and was like oh wow I was right the first time but also still wrong because I thought they meant the verb instead of the noun.

Where the heck is half-elf being used as a slur? This is the first I’ve heard of it.

I saw my father in law use a camera stand to hold it up

Now I wonder what stops people from just driving off without paying. Is there a camera or something?

It’s actually pretty interesting how word meanings split. Language is weird. https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/word-history-of-litter

Thank you!

Eh honestly I’m with you on this homework isn’t an effective learning tool for everyone. Plus it’s not like you’re handing out fake degrees even if you were who cares? what matters is if they can do the job

Yeah I get it I actually have social anxiety that’s why I’ve been so patient with him. I fully understand his reaction it’s just that I’m not close enough with him nor am I a therapist able to work through it with him.

True true, I’m going to start with a meeting with me him and the supervisor. I don’t think he is maliciously manipulative if that makes any sense. He just genuinely gets sad when when someone doesn’t find him funny or he annoyed someone and I don’t think he ever learned to how to properly handle being sad.

Fair point I am probably overthinking it.

Yeah I’ll probably go that route. I’ve never called him annoying.

the worst I’ve done is tell him he’s not helping when he made me lose my count on something.

I was counting a part when he came to talk to me about something completely unrelated. I didn’t respond, and when he asked what’s wrong I told him I’m just trying to keep my count. He then he continues to talk about his thing and I lose my count. So I do an exasperated sigh tell him I just lost my count can he come back later. He then started counting the wrong parts out loud so I stop him and say that’s not helping. Then he puts on his kicked puppy face said he was just trying to help and went non verbal for an hour after that.

So the issue is it’s like a loop you be nice and ignore him he thinks he’s cool.

You be mean and tell him he’s annoying he paints you as the asshole.

You be nice and tell him he’s being annoying he throws a pity party and makes you feel guilty for saying anything.

I mean, yeah, people have but and he’ll stop talking to them specifically and start mentioning how he doesn’t like them whenever they come around or come up in conversation. But he never looks inward and wonders if he is annoying because there’s enough people that tolerate him.

That’s been working for the past two years but I feel like I’m reaching the end of my patience.

Probably not I’m the team lead and he’s part of my team.

So unfortunately I am his boss we do have a supervisor over us I could talk to though.

No I’m not a mod I was going to upload a picture of what I’m seeing but I keep getting an error. I have to test if it does the same thing on PC when I get home

Thank you!
