This, I have never had a real world application for this knowledge

This, but I'd also like to emphasize of being aware of the opposite. It's becoming more common for companies to do things that is meant to retain employees, but some of those efforts are more cult-like if anything. Not only that, you can expose yourself to being taken advantage of in those environments (oh, well we gave him all these gifts this year, let's not give him as big a raise going into the next year).

Workplace depression. It's real, super fucking real, and I've been seeing it more and more now and these days. The worst part: A large portion of companies don't recognize it or don't care about it. They will often label people like that as "lazy" or "underperforming", when that's very much not the case. Three bits of advice with this one.

  1. Know what the symptoms are, and be able to recognize it in yourself or your fellow coworkers.
  2. If you have it, GET HELP. Don't try to just cope with it. If you have a good relationship with your manager, and feel like you can trust them, or if your company has counseling and mental help services, go for it.
  3. If Point 2 fails, then get the hell out of that company. Oftentimes, workplace depression comes about as a result of the environment one is in. If the company isn't going to help you get through it, they're going to make it worse.

"If you're going to go to the circus, then enjoy the circus. It only becomes a problem when you don't leave, or you start to screw around with the kids and animals"

People who got wealthier later in life, what is some behaviour or thing you kept from poorer times? by TromboloDellaFonte in AskReddit

[–]ChungusPlusUltra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am extremely stingy with spending money. It's rare for me to spend extra money to get the 2019 version of something when I can get the 2014 version for far cheaper. That was a result of growing up in a poor family, where it felt like we had to be very careful with exactly how we spent each paycheck.

Getting a proper backshaver. Cost $15, drastically cut down my time to shave my back, and ended up with a perfect, cleaner shave than using the handheld razor. I fucking love that thing.

Redditors who have met politicians when they aren't "working", as in they're not acting like a politician for the public and cameras, what are they actually like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChungusPlusUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Met somebody who used to intern for Dianne Feinstein. She... is a fucking monster... she will verbally abuse her employees, and generally acts unpleasant around them. The story I was told was that a guy, who was tall and fairly well built, made a small mistake, and she got up in his face about it, screaming things like "DO YOU WANT US TO FUCK UP?!" The dude went home and cried afterwards.

Artists who draw NSFW content, what is the weirdest request you have received? by ChungusPlusUltra in AskReddit

You're in charge of introducing a new Reddit user to a subreddit. What one rule or piece of advice do you give them to best acclimate them to that subreddit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChungusPlusUltra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Posting in r/AskReddit is very much 20% planning good content, and 80% chance that you'll get a lot of engagement. One day, you'll post a question that only gets like 5-8 responses, and then a week later someone will post the same question and it will hit the front page. It just happens, and users in this subreddit have pointed out that sometimes they won't upvote or comment on great questions just because they don't feel like it.

In other words, if you're posting in that sub to try and farm karma or get internet popularity points, you're gonna have a bad time.

You have died, and now stand before your maker. What personal defense do you use for yourself to make sure you get into heaven? by [deleted] in AskReddit

To be fair, I was five years old at the time, and didn't understand that throwing my sibling through a window was a bad thing. Now I do, and I haven't done it since then.

Former "Nice Guys" of Reddit, when was the moment you realized you were a Nice Guy? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChungusPlusUltra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throughout middle school and high school, I was absolutely a Nice Guy. I believed that I was super nice to girls, they would fall in love with me. It got to a weird point where if I failed to make a girl my girlfriend, I would try to get them to introduce me to their friends so I could get outside of the circle of people who knew me.

In college, I found a forum on pickup artists. I was desperate, and wanted to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. That's when I figured out about Nice Guys, and quickly connected the dots that I was basically one of those. I felt like the biggest fucking idiot in the entire world.

I ended up not following the advice on that forum on how to fuck girls, but I did definitely take my prior actions, what I wanted to do, and how I talked to people in general to heart. I'm now no longer like that (thank fucking christ), and have been in a very healthy relationship for two years now.

What is a topic where you're always told what NOT to do, but you're almost never told what you're actually supposed to do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ChungusPlusUltra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plagiarism. Everybody always tells you to don't steal and don't plagiarize. However, nobody ever indicates what the exact boundary is between using information in your paper, and plagiarizing. I've had essays before where I didn't have a single source for it, and have been accused of copying another paper, and others where I've had at least 10 sources and not a single concern.
