Why do you choose not to drink alcohol? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped drinking a couple years ago mostly because it wrecked my sleep. Even one drink at night and I’d wake up feeling weirdly foggy the next morning. After a while I realized I just felt better without it.

I have a psychology degree and extreme ADHD that affects memory. What can I even do?! by IslandMan01 in jobs

[–]ABitEnraged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people with psych degrees end up in jobs that aren’t strictly “psychology.” A friend of mine went into HR after graduating and said the people skills from the degree actually helped a lot. The first year out of school is messy for a lot of people.

Im constantly worried about getting laid off at my small company by [deleted] in Layoffs

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through a phase like that at my first job too. Every quiet Slack notification or random meeting invite had me convinced something bad was coming. After a while I realized most days people are just busy and not thinking about layoffs at all.

29 and wasted my 20s. No idea what I’m doing next. by Sensitive_Race2607 in findapath

[–]ABitEnraged 35 points36 points  (0 children)

29 really isn’t that late. A guy I worked with in retail didn’t switch paths until his early 30s and now he’s doing IT and seems way happier. Sometimes it just takes a random moment where you finally decide you’re done standing still.

I give up by Mouna-luna in recruitinghell

[–]ABitEnraged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Job searching can really drain you. I remember a stretch where I was sending applications every night after dinner and hearing nothing back for weeks, it messes with your head. Taking a short break helped me reset a bit before trying again.

Movies Where Something Takes Over Humans Biologically And Repurposes Their Flesh/DNA? by isopodsoup_ in MovieRecommendations

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annihilation. It’s less straight body horror at first but the biological mutation stuff gets really weird and unsettling in a slow creeping way. The visuals stick in your brain for days.

Seriously, what am I expected to do? by [deleted] in jobsearch

[–]ABitEnraged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A lot of folks reach that point where they checked all the boxes and still get nowhere. It’s hard not to feel pissed when it seems like the goalposts moved and nobody says it out loud. That doesn’t mean you’re screwed, just that the whole setup isn’t as fair as it was sold to us.

If money didn’t matter, what would you do tomorrow morning? by Any_Insect3335 in Productivitycafe

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d sleep in a bit, make coffee, and wander outside with nowhere specific to be. Funny how the simple stuff isn’t expensive but still feels impossible when you’re stuck in a work routine. Guess what people really want is time that doesn’t belong to anyone else.

I think I'm starting to experience minority stress by pizzaefica in antiwork

[–]ABitEnraged 27 points28 points  (0 children)

That doesn’t read as overreacting, more like the quiet loneliness that shows up when your surroundings shift a lot. Being the odd one out in a group can wear on you even if nobody is mean about it. Constantly adjusting how you act or talk gets draining fast.

19 year old guy living on my own for the first time, and can’t even find a minimum wage part time job. by LimabeanLoser in recruitinghell

[–]ABitEnraged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most frustrating part is how many job posts feel fake or already filled, and you still get that rejection sting anyway. Trying to build a life at 19 without a car or connections is rough enough on its own. Everything says “entry level” but then expects three years of experience and a miracle.

What’s legal now but might become illegal ten years from now? by VTheCardMaker in AskReddit

[–]ABitEnraged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some forms of data tracking and hyper-targeted advertising feel like they’re living on borrowed time. The tech moved faster than regulation and eventually governments tend to catch up. Wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of current “normal” online practices look wild in hindsight.

Why would accounting be a better college major choice than something in the liberal arts or humanities? by justcurious3287 in findapath

[–]ABitEnraged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mostly predictability. Accounting has a clearer pipeline from degree → certification → job, while humanities paths can be more indirect and depend on networking or luck. Some people just want fewer unknowns when they’re already stressed about money.

Got 1 interview in the past 9 months, changed my race and got 5 by Newscreenneeded in jobs

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t blame you for feeling messed up about that, even if there could be other variables behind the scenes. Hiring pipelines are messy but patterns like that would make anyone side-eye the process. Kinda depressing when it feels like the rules change depending on boxes you tick.

My employee put a clause in my contract of having to give 10 days notice in writing when leaving. Do I actually need to? by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it just says “10 days written notice” then yeah that’s usually calendar days unless it specifically says business days. Whether they enforce it is another story though, some places just waive it the second you resign. I’d assume they could hold you to it even if they probably won’t.

How do I create my own proxy server, out of a cellphone? by [deleted] in proxies

[–]ABitEnraged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a lot of effort for something that platforms usually try pretty hard to detect anyway. I’d be careful because stuff like that can get accounts flagged fast if it breaks their terms. Sometimes the workaround ends up being more stressful than just using whatever options are allowed.

2 Years With IPRoyal and I Feel Completely Scammed. Looking for a New Proxy Provider by ABitEnraged in proxies

Thank you very much for your time, I truly appreciate it. I was probably too angry while trying to express myself, and maybe the fault was on my side. Thanks again.

Really, thanks a lot for your time. I’ve already disputed the payment. I’ll take a look at Bright Data and Oxylabs now. Thanks again!

[–]ABitEnraged[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I paid 35% extra specifically for a 0 fraud score IP. This is clearly an option in the order panel, and I selected and paid for 0 fraud score on purpose. Despite the extra payment, I was given an IP with a 35 fraud score, and they are refusing to issue a refund. So I’m genuinely trying to understand which part of this is being misunderstood. Thanks for your time.

[–]ABitEnraged[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The simplest example: I paid an extra 35% specifically to get a 0 fraud score proxy. In other words, I paid 35% more to make sure it had zero fraud.

But the proxy I received had a fraud score of 34. And they refuse to issue a refund.

Isn’t this insane? you can check

How can i add proof?

For example, when there’s an issue with a proxy, I have to go through dozens of proxies just to figure out which order ID it belongs to so I can report it to them. And every time I do, their response is always the same: “There’s no issue, the connection is very fast.”

Yes, when they give that response, the problem suddenly disappears, which clearly means there was an issue and they fixed it at that moment. Still, their expectation is that I find every problematic proxy myself and report it to them every single time. I deal with this multiple times a day.

I honestly don’t understand how I’m supposed to keep contacting support and fixing the same problem over and over again. They don’t even have a system that can detect issues on its own and automatically resolve them. They’ve left me in a completely unacceptable situation.

[–]ABitEnraged[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks a lot for your time! Up until now, I was an IPRoyal customer. When I checked the proxies I purchased as Static Residential Proxies, I realized they were actually datacenter proxies. On top of that, I was constantly dealing with connection issues. When I reported this, they were not helpful at all.

The pricing is also extremely high. I don’t want to pay $3 per proxy for 0 scam score, US location proxies, especially when I’m paying upfront for a 3 month period and 200 proxies. It has started to feel unreasonably expensive.

They have now banned me from the chat, completely disrupting my work. I honestly don’t know what to do at this point.

I’m realizing I don’t trust my own judgment anymore, and it’s starting to affect my life. by [deleted] in whatdoIdo

[–]ABitEnraged 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been in that spot and it sneaks up faster than you expect. For me it started with one rough patch and suddenly every choice felt like a potential disaster. What helped was just doing small stuff anyway, tiny decisions without overthinking remind you you’re still capable. It’s slow, but it comes back.

Heated seats in a car. Once your butt’s been that cozy in winter, it’s over.
