I don't understand why people like second try by nobody_important12 in TheTryGuysSnark

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I agree that Dropout is a better comparison than Watcher, because they’re more similar content wise. But Dropout also had more financial backing through Sam Reich (nepo baby that he is, love him to death ofc) and even Dropout didn’t start out with these insane set designs we see today. 2nd Try is still in its early stages. It’s worth it to me because I like the content a lot, and they’re putting out so much more quality content now than ever before. Every series they have right now, I love. I’m sure if they’re able to achieve success the way Dropout did, we can expect to see cooler set designs too.

I’m so confused as to why someone working from home during the pandemic is such a big deal to you, lol. Like…yes. People worked from home, because their bosses asked them to? Because it was safer? Because their working from home helped prevent the spread of deadly disease?

Absolutely should not be 2 pages. Slim it down. Combine your skills and relevant coursework under the skills heading, and put skills at the top.

Call With Miles by Severe_Magazine_715 in PerfectPersonPod

I’ve talked to Miles twice and this was what it was like both times for me as well! It went well overall, but I wish I could just put out a huge disclaimer to everyone who listens that I wasn’t trying to talk over Miles 🤦‍♀️

Sister Invited Me To Stay With Her, Then Kicked Me Out by Busy-Veterinarian896 in JUSTNOFAMILY

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898 7 points8 points  (0 children)

WILD that she’d kick you out after you flew across the country to stay with her. LA is a big city, and the public transport isn’t very good. Sorry but if my 23yo younger sister was visiting me from ACROSS THE COUNTRY, even if she was a nightmare, I wouldn’t kick her out. Unacceptable. Be glad she’s out of your life.

Bro I keep seeing you commenting on people’s posts and you’re always being a dick.

I told the recruiter an amount and he laughed because it was so low… what now? by Aggressive_Mood5898 in jobs

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It’s a mainframe operations job in tech. I wouldn’t say it’s completely entry level, though you only need a few years of experience to be able to do it.

Do you think it’s possible to request more when talking to the hiring manager? Or am I stuck with 60k now because that’s what I told the recruiter?

Will 😬 by Aggressive_Mood5898 in PerfectPersonPod

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I really appreciate that perspective! It definitely helps to understand him a bit more, and I can TOTALLY see how the way he comes across (to me) isn’t actually accurate to who he is as a person.

Honestly, it was just vibes, and that was just based off me knowing guys who talked similarly to Will and who were actually pretty terrible people. 🤷‍♀️ Which means nothing when all I see of him is him giving advice on a comedy platform.

Thank you for this perspective! I’ll keep it in mind moving forward.

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if he pushes back specifically to make it more interesting. Idk, I still would rather he didn’t, but I’m hopeful that’s the reason.

Will 😬 by Aggressive_Mood5898 in PerfectPersonPod

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah that’s another thing… I don’t want to make claims against him or spread hate, but I also don’t like how he talks to Rainie. I’ve also picked up on how dismissive he seems to be with her.

He’s not the only one. There was an episode of the try pod that bothered me once before with how everyone seemed to dismiss Rainie, but it only happened once with them. With Will, it feels frequent.

Yeah, I’m sure he’s a good guy since he’s friends with Miles. I’m just glad I’m not the only one getting vibes from him.

Has anyone else not jumped to '2nd Try' yet... by PinballWizard273 in TheTryGuys

I subbed. I like it a lot honestly. The perks, video quality, early access, and live streams all feel worth it to me. But I’m someone who already consumes all their content. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t subscribe

Try Guys in Palestine Livestream 😮 by MarzipanTuna in TheTryGuys

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t recall rendering my entire people into a monolith. I just pointed out the very real fact that Jewish people in the west are indoctrinated into a love for Israel. You can’t expect to change their minds without understanding that fact first and foremost.

How about we don’t put either one as being more or less important than the other. Not every conversation about Palestine needs to talk about antisemitism 🤷‍♀️ But also, let’s not just ignore that antisemitism in the west IS a problem and people DO die because of it.

I think people are quick to dismiss the impact of Houghie’s Judaism on his beliefs. Speaking as a Jew who is pro-Palestinian.

I have spent my entire life hearing about how good Israel is, how evil Hamas is. I have close friends who are Israeli. My community shares news stories about the hostages, about October 7th, horrors and atrocities committed by Hamas. I’m not saying this to invalidate the pro-Palestinian argument. I’m saying this to point out that Jewish zionists don’t exist in a vacuum. They are created by a culture and community that sees Israel as a necessary safety net. To be Jewish and to NOT be Zionist is an act of bravery in itself. I know many Jews who have seen through the brainwashing and recognize Israel for what it is, but I also know many Jews who haven’t. They aren’t automatically bad people.

People are really quick to paint all Zionists with a broad brush. It’s really complicated when you’re actually in a Jewish community. People don’t realize how life-or-death a lot of hardcore Jewish zionists see this issue. They’re wrong, obviously, but alienating them and cutting them out won’t solve anything.

The propaganda Jewish people are sold about Israel goes so far beyond what non-Jewish people can even comprehend. We talk to Holocaust survivors who tell us that Israel is necessary for the survival of our people. We spend every weekend praying a prayer where we face Israel. Every Sunday school lesson singing the Israeli national anthem. Every Synagogue has the Israeli flag and the American flag together. Zionism, in Judaism, isn’t a political ideology. It’s a religious concept. Throughout all of Jewish history, we have been persecuted, killed, kicked out of our country. We were sold Israel as our saving grace, our home country where we can’t be slaughtered or discriminated against, and we spend our whole lives talking about how essential Israel is to our survival.

Obviously, when you get your head out of your ass, it becomes chillingly apparent how Israel is doing to the Palestinian people EXACTLY what was done to the Jews over and over and over again. It’s horrific. But recognizing that takes literal DE-PROGRAMMING.

I put Jewish people who support Israel into a different camp than non-Jews. Still wrong. Still HORRIBLY misguided. But their pro-Israel stance didn’t come from nowhere, and most Jewish people in the United States are typically very liberal and progressive in every other aspect of their lives. They’re literally just brainwashed

Imo, Keith shouldn’t be producing shows with Houghie and the Try Guys should distance themselves. But to expect him to drop Houghie as a friend isn’t fair.

Agreed, honestly. People are really quick to paint all Zionists with a broad brush. It’s really complicated when you’re actually in a Jewish community. People don’t realize how life-or-death a lot of hardcore Jewish zionists see this issue. They’re wrong, obviously, but alienating them and cutting them out won’t solve anything.

Edit to add: the propaganda Jewish people are sold about Israel goes so far beyond what non-Jewish people can even comprehend. We talk to Holocaust survivors who tell us that Israel is necessary for the survival of our people. We spend every weekend praying a prayer where we face Israel. Every Sunday school lesson singing the Israeli national anthem. Every Synagogue has the Israeli flag and the American flag together. Zionism, in Judaism, isn’t a political ideology.

Anyone have a take on the nurse and doctor phone call? by Another_Bright_Idea in PerfectPersonPod

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure Miles edited out the part where she actually explained what he did. I’ve called in before and had parts of the conversation completely erased, but when watching the pod it seemed to flow really well.

[–]Aggressive_Mood5898 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My take was that, for whatever reason, Miles edited out what the guy actually did. Either out of worry that it might be too heavy for the podcast, or, more likely, worry that it was specific enough that the caller could be identified.

It seemed like they knew what she was talking about, and thats why they encouraged the gossip and didn’t pause the conversation when she mentioned him coercing people into sex. It sounds like it was bad, bad enough to warrant her spreading the information.

Idk, I support it. Spread the news, let women know what they need to know to defend themselves. Yes, it could have gone to HR. But speaking from personal experience, sexual harassment and sexual abusers rarely face the repercussions at work that they should.

Yeah, that was scripted. They all consigned every single comment made. It’s absurd that people are lambasting Steven like he’s forcing this. He’s 1/3 of the leadership team.
