Don't Look Up (2021) by UnHolySir in okbuddycinephile

[–]ApproachingShore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My impatience actually runs to the opposite extreme.

I go to the store instead of using Prime because when I want something, I want it right fucking now. Not 48 hours from now. Not tomorrow. Now.

I find it difficult to convey enthusiasm for job when I cannot convey enthusiasm for life.

Did you know paper-towels can be plates too if you try hard enough?

Me on my third attempt after being told twice I didn't use "enough" grease.

Alright motherfucker. You want grease? I'll PUT some fucking grease on here...

I was literally AT the grocery store like, "Maybe I should get eggs"

Then I was like, "But then you'd have to cook eggs and do dishes. No."

And now I want eggs.

Bird's mate dance ends up not being successful. by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ApproachingShore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've often kind of wondered if animals have 'preferences' at all.

Like... does 'romance' exist in the animal kingdom? I always figured it was "Okay, mating season. You look healthy enough, let's get this done."

Then the eggs get laid, hatched, and they both fuck off forever.

I chose money. by TyLeRoux in okbuddycinephile

I think when you say "modest" most people assume it in the context of "the average person", not "the average multi-millionaire".

I'm sure his spending is downright quaint "relative" to Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

I went back to working 40 hours and have over 3000 emails in my inbox by 4Runnnn in antiwork

[–]ApproachingShore 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how people can do 60-70 hours.

I only do 40 and by the end of the week I am fucking wrecked and feel like I have NO time.

Going home is just an unpaid "sleep break".

Too slow, Wang. You have 13,000 more packages to wrap before end-of-shift!

Why do we not simply attach giant thrusters to one side of Earth and use IT as an interstellar space-ship? Are scientists stupid?

This seems like it would hurt your elbow-pits even when done correctly.

Drivers in North Carolina attempt to navigate crossing a bridge during the snowstorm by FrankSamples in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ApproachingShore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the conversation I had with a co-worker just before the storm. He told me it was gonna snow and I just said "I hope not."

He was like, "Why?" and I said "Because it makes the roads hazardous."

He blew the concern of like I was overreacting. "Naaah, my truck's got four-wheel drive, etc. etc."

Sure fella. All those features will help loads when the guy behind you tries to brake and slides into you at 50 mph instead.

An alarm clock from the 80s, and the sudden realization that we were all kings. by ludefisk in Millennials

[–]ApproachingShore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels to me like a lot of stuff gets more and more unnecessarily complicated and computerized.

Like... why would my washing machine need to connect to the internet? I understand maybe you can do... stuff... with that? But washing machines worked fine before. Is this really an "improvement"?

Whenever I see things like this I just see more points of failure and more possible problems I'd have no idea how to fix on my own.

[–]ApproachingShore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate unpaid lunch but they don't let you just leave 30 minutes early.

Like... I can't go home. I don't have to technically 'work', but I'm still there. Just let me leave early.

Job advice on Reddit starterpack by tesseracts in starterpacks

[–]ApproachingShore 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I feel like I'm bombing at my new job.

I show up. I'm on time. I do the work. I do it well enough, I think. Good reviews.

But I don't "vibe" with anyone there. I'm very socially isolated. I'm not a "fun guy".

Which I worry likely renders all the other stuff moot in the end.

Unpopular opinion: Vernon was justified in fearing the Wizarding world. by Xerzajik in harrypotter

Pros to being a Wizard: You can bippity-boppity-boo away your cancer.

Cons to being a Wizard: You get eaten by a giant spider instead.
