I just got fired from my job on the grounds of "lying or being deceptive during my candidacy" because I "misrepresented my having a disability".

Here's what happened.

>got an interview at a state university doing IT repair work (basically going around fixing computers, hardware stuff)
>really needed the job but think i could probably help my chances if i show up in a wheelchair
>the day before, i sit in the chair, and ride around at home. i know it's kind of in an ethical grey area, but hey, i need a paycheck
>decide i'm going to sit in my grandmother's unused manual wheelchair for the interview
>arrive to the premesis on the day of the interview, take the elevator up and see a slight look of suprise on the interviewer who greets me
>"oh, hi, anon, er, right this way..."
>in the interview room definitely treating me differently, and more politely than i'm used to
>blast through all the technical questions
>standard interview questions "how do you handle conflict, where do you see yourself in 5 years"
>then, the question
>"So, Anon, just for the recond, this position requires that you be able to lift up to 50 pounds... Does your condition accomodate that?"
>"My condition?"
>"Er, well, yes, you use a wheelchair?"
>heres the crafty part
>"I am in a wheelchair, yes; but lifting 50 pounds would not be a problem."
>see the interviewer feeling a bit awkward
>"Okay, well we'll let you know of the outcome soon"

>basically, i get a call later that day offering me the job, and starting next tuesday.
>show up to work, not in the wheelchair, obviously
>HR person definitely notices
>"Um, anon, wern't you in a wheelchair on Friday?"
>explain that yes, i used the wheelchair on Friday, but I am not using it today, or most days
>they ask me in to the HR person's room for a quick discussion with the head boss, and they determine that my employment contract is going to be null and void due to above mentioned reasons

wtf, i know it was wrong, and i got what i deserved, but can they really fire me for NOT being disabled, /adv/?

What do I do now

Why didn't you just stay in the wheelchair for work? Surely you should have realized they would have questioned the fact you weren't in a wheelchair after attending the interview in one

yeah, but i thought i could convince them that i'm disability fluid, or something

If a male friend caresses you while acting silly, and when you get upset says that it's a joke, is it safe to say that they're gay and hitting on you? Should one break off contact with them if one isn't interested in men?

Don't do that or else people will think you're HOMOPHOBIC.
If he keeps doing that ask him what his deal is and tell him to stop.
Gay friends are kinda cool if they don't act like complete faggots.

But why was he doing what he did? Was it some kind of a joke, and I'm overreacting?

Let him clear your sexual orientation . It is best for your friend no false hopes done and neither confused.

My boyfriend is an incredible guy and gives me everything I need, and more. He's incredibly respectful, reasonable, never gets angry when we have small arguments, thoughtful and sweet. I want to marry him. He would make a great father.

One thing that annoys me a little though, is that he's so apologetic for being a man. I want him to feel welcome to take my clothes off and have sex with me whenever HE wants, but he almost always waits for me to initiate. I want him to come home every day and eat the dinner I made him without treating it like I've done some incredible thing that he has to pay me back for. I want him to be okay with me cleaning the house every now and again and not apologize so much when I pick his clothes up or wash his laundry. Fuck, I want him to stop worrying about MY orgasm so much when we have sex so he can just enjoy himself and be done when he's done every once in a while. A lot of the time when I ask him what he wants me to cook, he'll say "You don't have to do that" even though I've told him it makes me feel great to cook for him.

I know that these things are rooted in respect for me, and I have no idea what to do. I can't be mad at him -- He's been poisoned to actually believe that women don't really enjoy sex as much as men, so he never explicitly asks for it (or aggressively takes me, for the matter). He actually feels like I get fed up with cooking for him, like it's some horrible chore.

Let me be clear -- It's not a confidence issue, or lack of sex drive, or that he doesn't like my cooking. He just hates to inconvenience me, and it's gotten to the point where I'm actually starting to feel bad that he feels this way.

does he personally identify as a feminist? if so, how actively does he propagate these ideas?

When people look at me, they think I'm successful. The thing is, thats just a mask I wear in public. I feel emty and I just don't have strength to continue anymore.

All that people see is things I have. I own fully loaded Mercedes-Benz and 7 series bmw, I look really good, always dressed up nicely, my body is ripped, I'm 6feet tall and I have plenty of other perks. Girls are looking at me with interest, guys are always asking me how can I have this all and so on.

But here comes the tricky part. No-one sees that I work 7 days a week up to 12h a day with no holidays. They dont see that the little time I have for myself, i spend trying to keep my body in shape in my home gym cuz I literally dob have time to go to commercial gyms. They dont see the fact, that year ago my love of my life cheated on me and dumped me and now is pregnant. Every night when I go to sleep, i cry for 30min cuz I dont want to wake up anymore. I'm 29 after less than 2 days, living alone in country I wasn't even born in. I'm a foreigner with no friends, no time, no woman and no future. My ex meant the world to me and since she left me year ago, I cant find myself anywhere and I'm giving up on my life.

All my money goes into bills and car maintenance, I have no time for hobbies and I cant take any time off cuz then I wobt be able to pay bills. I cant find a gf cuz girls here hate foreigners and all those perks I have doesnt mean shit to them whenever they hear my accent (untill I talk, they're all into me).

After 2 days I'm turning 29 and I feel that I wont be able to live life like this for another year. I just cant. When you're NEET or just a lazy cunt or have some otger minor problems, you know how to fix them, but my life is pure fucking hell and I mean it. I try my best to keep my chin up, I just put on my cool face and keep on going forward and no-one sees my tears and misery.

How would you live a life like mine? A life like hell.

>a life like hell

If you're feeling bad you're feeling bad I'm not gonna tell you you're feelings are wrong or stupid, but I think you should look at all the things you do have instead of what you don't. Read a book about mindfullness or budism or something.

I'm going to help you out with some advice on how to live super comfortably. Live below your means. That means instead of trying to get a two bedroom apartment, go for one. Trade in the BMW for a Honda. You're literally dying, physically and mentally, because of luxury items.

Save the money. Relax. Find a girl friend after you take some time off. You need to step down and take a breather. Also, look into getting on anti depressants. There's no shame in taking medicine. Good luck.

Halloo, any suggestions on how to advertise a yt channel?

Basically we have only 5 subs who know us irl, and have no idea how to show our content to a bigger audience
18 posts and 1 images submitted.

What is your content?
If it's relevant to specific communities, you could try pandering it to them.

Once you achieve a large enough following, you can start making use of tags and keywords to generate more exposure to your content, and possibly sell yourself out to an extent by covering hot topics.
>>
>>17219079
Casual talk over gameplay.
Really simple stuff.

We have plans to make some better videos (philosophical discussion), but that stuff has to wait after finals.

Covering hot topics is not really our style, yt is more of an hobby than anything else, but I'll keep for sure in mind the pandering to specific communities (e.g. some forums for alpha games)

Dear OP

Youtube channel and channel revenue will take you a long time to grow. You have to treat this like a job. It isn't a lick and a prayer.

You need to have a worthwhile personality, decent equipment for recording, a good popular variety of games , etc etc

You also need to set up a twitter, twitch, facebook, Google +, pintrest, tumblr etc etc. Regular updates on all social media platforms.

You're also going to have to work at it for several years. You will need to hit 200k subs and need to be able to generate good content that can hit 100k to 300k views regularly if you're going to make a solid living

Also, take a hard look at your 'team' and determine if the personalities are going to be attractive. You need engaging, smart, witty, and at times...explosive commentary.

You should explore your favorite foods

Chicken is easy to roast and a whole chicken is both cheap and good for leftovers.
Man and just buy spinach, eggs, and bacon. It's a well rounded breakfast and easy to make. Just put the eggs on top of the spinach or make breakfast sandwiches.
Save your chicken bones and use them to make stock. Just simmer the bones covered for a few hours and strain out the bones and viola. Soup base. Grab some noodles and leftover chicken and you have chicken noodle soup

Someone told me I don't enjoy clubbing because I'm not an attractive girl and therefore if I want to enjoy clubbing I have to make an effort to talk and interact with people

But I don't know how you can socialise with people when there's extremely loud music and everyone sticks to their own social groups

Advice?

This is also a mystery to me. How do you interact with people in clubs?
>>
>>17219057
people are different. You don't have to enjoy the same things that anyone else.
Is kind of sad that you can't decide what you like or don't like but your own but let others decide what you should like.
>>
As a UK university student, I wish more people knew you don't have to enjoy clubbing. I also wish more people knew that people don't want to socialise in the traditional sense, the question is do you want to meet friends and talk or hook up?

How to turn down a girl politely and without hurting her if possible?

This girl at my work place asked a coworker for my number, she apparently have wanted to talk with me for months now.
She added me on whatsapp and we had some short conversations, mostly she's asking me how I was and how I was doing.
She also mentions that I'm "really cute" a lot of times, she likes my face particularly.
The thing is that our conversations go to no where. She's the one always initiating conversations and when I try to ask something to start widening the topics she just answers with one liners.
Which is really annoying at some extend because I think she is really cute and I'd like to get to know her better, but at this point she just seems really uninteresting.
In the other hand, I got a side job that mostly do at nights and on weekends, so going out with her isn't something that I want to do because
the free time that I got I would rather using it resting.
I feel really bad when when she starts a conversation and says nothing afterwards, I think she's just nervous but I also think i might being a bit douchey not giving her the attention she probably
deserves for being so nice to me so far.
She hasn't explicitly say what she wants out of me, but still, I feel like I need to tell her that I'm no really in the position to befriending new people at the moment and is not her fault that I'm not
that interesting to begin with.
Any advice?

This texting shit is just pure cancer. Ask if she wants to hang out, go grab a coffee or whatever, and see if you click irl or not. This wish washy bullshit can stop and you know if there's any point in talking to eachother.
>>
>>17219043
Namedrop "my girlfriend" into one of your conversations. Tell her you think she's really sweet for asking you about your day as well btw.
>>
>>17219055
That's the issue really.
She is the one that approached me in the first place already saying things like "I like you" and such.
Besides being pretty, she doesn't have much else going for her in my eyes.
She 'likes' me for really superficial reasons and she knows nothing about me.
For example, I hate going in out when I doesn't have to, I like to be indoors all the time, if she had taken her time to get to know me first, she would have realized that.
I won't ask her to hang out because I don't really feel like I want to do something like that,
it doesn't mean I'm uninterested, is just how i am. She has expectations for me that were never there in the first place.

Pretty sure I just figured out the meaning of life.

Everyone wants a strong a frame, everyone wants to feel secure. So they do things to help reinforce their frame of reality.

A drug addict takes drugs, because he is a drug addict, such is the cycle of life.

pls rape my fucking face

Sorry... Explain?

It sounds like the summary of what you're saying is that people like being alive, and feeling shit.

I uh.... I thought that was obvious.

>mfw people think you become addicted to drugs because you develop chemical dependency, not the other way around
You become addicted to something because the high fills a hole that you have in your life. If you aren't ready to be a slave to something, you can do all the drugs and then be perfectly fine without them.

Hey, what does it mean when attractive coworkers smile and wave at you, then audibly gag when you walk by, then giggle with each other? I can't tell if this is flirting or if they actually think I'm a weirdo.

I'm 27 and married, and pretty open about my wife, she comes into the store a lot, so I'm not asking from an "interested man" perspective, but it makes me feel like I'm in high school all over again trying to guess what people are thinking, and it's not a good feeling.

What does this mean?

Not really, I'm not interested in anything anymore except for making money.
I just wan't people to hang out with at least twice a week. Just chilling, talking or go do whatever.
