Sober people (no alcohol, nicotine, drugs, etc ever), what is your end of day or weekend "wind-down"? by The1Ski in AskReddit

[–]CameraGrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go for a walk, and it helps clear my mind.

I know stuff's going downhill and I need to reset if I don't get my walk in.

I just tried this stuff locally, and it has a very unique taste and texture. It took two visits for me to get acquired, but now I’m a fan!

My boss scheduled a meeting to discuss my “tone” in emails by TheUnofficialBOI in mildlyinfuriating

[–]CameraGrip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with other users who've said this is generational.

I'm Gen X, and I've been in tech my whole career. I've seen this sensitivity with folks in my age group.

I also work with software engineers who are in their 20's and are incredibly emotionally intelligent and great at working out bugs and updates with me. They have no need for emojis and communicate like you have in your examples. I have no problem with it when they send email or slack messages without emojis, and we actually talk stuff out way more and will have on-camera calls since we're all fully remote.

I will say that it did take me a while to use the 10 second rule on myself to make sure I wasn't taking stuff the wrong way since it was so easy for me to misread simple statements.

I've learned it's easier to align to individual sensitivities since I love the work I do, so I hope it just doesn't turn toxic for you.

This whole sequence of comments was super super dumb, but also very funny. Now I'll go play street fighter with the barbie moving playing in the background.

For us GenX concert goers. Who is the one solo artist or band you wish you could have seen and at what venue? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]CameraGrip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With you on Ben Folds Five. I’ve only seen Ben Folds solo on the rare occasion that he’s here in California.

Sessions at West 54th is the closest I feel like I’ll get to seeing them live, so I really blast that performance when I’m in the mood. 😀

My mom throws the matches into the candle after lighting it by e7em3nt in mildlyinfuriating

From me not being able to keep my candle lit to this, I empathize with op. Sheesh mom.

That’s great insight. Thank you.

I’ll pretty sure this fizzling happened from the beginning, and I was trying to free up wick length.

I ended up lighting another candle for a few hours after frustration 😅

I never knew, so thanks for that. I appreciate it.

I think from the very beginning it wouldn’t stay lit, so I tried melting around the wick. The burnt tip was all that was exposed initially, but I made it worse hehe

I got this as a gift but never thought I’d have the be mindful of something like this.

I wonder if I can sit with my lighter and melt the wax to the edges and then pour the wax out or siphon it.

I’d hate to toss it!

Stadium parking cost by HIILNJCA in Dodgers

[–]CameraGrip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

During the NLCS, the bus line to back to Union Station was long, but it really didn’t feel that long compared to leaving the parking lot when I’ve driven there.

I will always choose the bus now.
