  • “Friends of Goodwill, be dissatisfied with your work until every handicapped and unfortunate person in your community has an opportunity to develop to his fullest usefulness and enjoy a maximum of abundant living”

    Very powerful statement, but I somehow doubt they’d be so committed to the spirit of it. Like someone else said, companies are allowed to underpay disabled employees.






  • Don’t get me wrong I feel very bad for him, but it sounds like he ended up like his father. Clearly he doesn’t want your help and even thinks you were a bad guy in his life. I would never do the whole “pick on your brother” thing and would do everything to protect mine but if he behaved like your’s does then what can you really do?

    Also if he does go after your mom and stepdad, so what? They sound like they deserve it anyways.

    Little edit: the rest of the commenters sound even colder actually. Like damn, sure, OP’s brother might not be his legal responsibility but I don’t think he should completely abandon him. Clearly there is a bond and he cares for him in spite of how the brother is acting (otherwise the post wouldn’t exist).

    OP, maybe send the brother a letter: offer to help him (if you still want to, otherwise wish him well or something) or to mutually cease contact. It sounds like his life has just spiraled out of control, so he may appreciate having a choice.











  • Bad idea to buy a gaming laptop when you already had a Series X. I upgraded from my Xbox One to a laptop instead since it was only about $300 more for a quality laptop. I know the “but a desktop is better!!!” line, but I do not have the space for a desktop + monitor.

    Also, why do you think you need a wired controller? I currently use a wired-only 3rd party Xbox controller because I hate batteries but in the past I could use my normal Xbox controller wirelessly just fine.
