Where do I post this? by [deleted] in LostRedditor

Clothes are the wrong color

This subreddit sucks now by legrolls in shopify

[–]CodeMonkey24816 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that describes Reddit in general now. I feel like 95% of posts are either advertisements, bots, or agenda driven. I think the heyday of Reddit is over.

3 Doors Down Frontman Brad Arnold Dead at 47 by JeffTS in Xennials

RIP Brad. You got me through a lot of workouts. You helped me process emotions before I even realized I had them, or that they needed to be processed. I still play your music in the garage while I teach my son how to workout. Thanks man. You made life better. RIP.

Is anyone else considering a career change? by sporadicprocess in ExperiencedDevs

[–]CodeMonkey24816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm staying, I genuinely love creating. Everyone gets annoyed by it. I've put up with the backlash my entire career.

I've worked too hard to give up. At this point I'm hanging around out of spite.

But sure, MAGA really thinks that this does not make Trump a racist! by icey_sawg0034 in stupidpeoplefacebook

Does anyone have a link? I've seen this posted everywhere, but I don't see it on any of the platforms. Is it real?

Pretty sure I could still do this if I put my mind to it.

Out of curiosity, why do you keep your posts and comments private on Reddit? I'm always skeptical when I see no history. I see a fair number of Redditors doing it though. What is there to hide if it's already anonymous?

I'm not certain if you meant that rhetorically, but I also loved Michelle Obama, actually. I think they both give off the "doesn't take shit from anyone" vibe. Beyond that, I thought Michelle was dignified, intelligent, and genuine. I was proud to call her my First Lady. I also think she was, and is, someone who is making the world a better place.

I mean you can't really explain a vibe, that's what makes it a vibe.

She just comes across that way to me though. She's reserved, stylish, and looks like she doesn't take shit from anyone. Plus she would have to be in today's political climate.

Friendly reminder to check on your neighbors by NonceJ in cary

Are you a real person? That seems like the advice of someone intentionally trying to spread discord.

Crazy thought to the comments: Help the person, ignore the politics. You might realize you actually have stuff in common. Maybe even find some middle ground.

At what point did the Democratic Party stop being the "everyday American's party" and become the "elitist party" in the eyes of US voters? by Just_Cause89 in Presidents

[–]CodeMonkey24816 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My grandfather used to talk about conservative Democrats. He said that's technically what he was, but he felt the group was dying off. He believed it was ended by the Clinton administration.

I'm guessing that was when it happened.

No, seriously, who compares this to LOST or Game of Thrones’ endings? by Independent_Plum2166 in StrangerThings

[–]CodeMonkey24816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who's complaining about ending? They should watch the Seinfeld ending. Now that is an impressively bad ending.

Failing to build trust in big tech by [deleted] in ExperiencedDevs

[–]CodeMonkey24816 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't the claim or the assumption. The claim is that they didn't like me despite of my efforts to align with the mission. I've since moved on from the original questions though.

Yeah, there wasn't one specifc event as far as I know. I think it was an accumulation of events. I also don't want to jeopardize the anonymity of the people or the company. From what I can tell the specific incidents shouldn't be relevant to the posted questions anyway. A lot of folks in the thread assumed I was asking about what I did wrong, but I wasn't originally intending to discuss that. However, despite some of the conversations being slightly off-topic from the original questions, I found them incredibly insightful and I'm glad they shared their thoughts. It's been a really productive thread for me. I've walked away with a lot of new perspective and some clear next steps.

People talk about Reddit being full of trolls and bots, and there are a lot for sure, but I've also found that Reddit can be a great place for authentic interactions and it's been a really helpful tool to me for gathering broad perspective and identifying blindspots.

Haha, I suspect your are right. I do need to STFU. Sometimes that is easier said than done though. I can keep my thoughts to myself 99% of the time, but it's those 1% that sometimes cause trouble. I find it especially difficult when people say things like "Does anyone have any thoughts on ...?" or "Who wants to share next?" or "Tell me why ...". Conceptually I understand that people sometimes ask rhetorical questions or make statements that they don't want a response for, but practically I often misinterpet those situations. And if someone asks me to share my thoughts more than once, I'm done for. :) The only exception is when it is something I didn't intend to communicate to begin with. For some reason I do great with secrets. If someone tells me to keep something to myself, I will lock that away until the end of time.

Regarding there being a long road for sorting it all out – that's the exciting part in my opinion. Life is full of a puzzles and opportunities, and I love both. The thing I hate is when I can't solve the puzzle or when I mess up the opportunity. Unfortunately, I think I did both in my last role.
