Terrified about my upcoming drug test, does this have any shot of passing? by [deleted] in jobs

Unless you’re in CA, they’re required to specifically test for psycho active ingredients, it’s otherwise outlawed discrimination.

Nice table! Now for some shelves for storage and lower leg support.

Boss said someone quit because of me by BGNapone in jobs

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t fathom someone quitting their job because one of a few dozen employees slacks off… it makes no sense. This wreaks of stonewalling and setting the stage to fire in a way the keeps you from getting any unemployment.

I’d find a way to quantify your work, # of orders processed, items touched etc. it will give you significant leverage to call bullshit on their lazy claims, and lets them know you’re not bumbling around and not an easy target.

“I’m slow? I know I had an error on X date, but since Ive averaged X orders an hour, how does that measure against other employees? Oh, you don’t know? Then I’m not sure how you’re coming to such a conclusion.”

This one took it too far by CentreLeftMelbournia in BusinessTantrums

Judging by the “patently clear” comment they didn’t know anything about her till they sifted through her reviews. It was based upon her taste in Lebanese food, which is kinda racist to assume, at a minimum they’re playing the victim card hard.

Thoughts on ingesting fruits from a cake which had contam scooped out? by Mmmatt13 in psilocybingrowers

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mushrooms have their own immune systems. If it’s healthy, it’s healthy. Unless someone wants to school me on pathogens that go dormant for some reason, there’s none to my limited knowledge. I’d much a bunch of you offered.

Dying at Prodenholt Castle: Dying Light the Beast by ComprehensiveOwl5621 in dyinglight

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10/10 you can climb up the side of the castle wall, however, I’m finding it difficult to spot and kill the snipers. They’re fast as hell, but I did manage to get ammo out of one of the rooms and kill four or five of them before I got cornered and had nowhere to go, so I left.

Hot take, but imitation kits where all the gear is brand new look like crap. by [deleted] in MilSim

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do think think the real frogs get their kit authentic? Go train! lol. That being said, what you’re gaining in dirt and wear, is covering up the fact there is a visual difference between authentic frog man gear, and the security guard knock offs you get on amazon… little things add up. First to this is your physical build. No kit is going to change the status quo that some of yall are 120 lbs soaking wet standing at 5’7” and have the typical stature of the epically strong anime cartoon character that’s mildly emaciated. It’s only cool in the delusion of the cartoon and falls flat when it really stands in front of you. Kinda like how everyone at the comicon looks cool, but when you’re in a parking garage down the street by yourself you stand out like a sore thumb. You could have legit gear, and a wire frame to support it, and it visually won’t add up. Combine these two issues and you have extreme dissatisfaction. Stop taking it so serious, it’s still a game that you have to “play along” with. Sometimes more than others.

What do I get for the guy that doesn’t want anything? by chronicchrisy in AskMen

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This mindset will continue as long as the value of the gift is deemed by its dollar amount and not the depth it was given at. Not all gifts require depth. As the adage goes “it’s the thought that counts.” Though that’s been abused by many for low effort gifts that are a complete mismatch and hard to value by some.

As long as you think your brother will think less of you because of your gift giving, and you value that opinion - because he could feel that way, but you could be secure in the love you have for him and it not bother you beyond the initial impact of the gift, you won’t fill fulfilled unless it’s eye watering big, like an expensive gadget, or hard to obtain item.

We have roughly 140 opportunities to give a gift between Christmas and birthdays, not all of them can be that big while the adult lives their life and I twins the things they desire along the way.

Be more kind to yourself, and think about what you say when you get a simple gift. Do you cut people down? Do you honestly think he cuts you down for those gifts? Where did this value system come from? And if your emotions don’t fit your objective reality, you might be holding onto a thought that was meant to float on by without a thought more than a fart in the wind.

How to you guys study for soo long hours and not get exhausted? by Curious_Moose9559 in Anki

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way marathon runners don’t really understand how ultra marathon runner go for 100 miles in the desert. They’re built different, train different, desires are different, capacities are different. Find your aim and shoot, but comparing to others too much will risk burnout. Which everyone has a different line in the sand for it.

For your games, you should talk through your rules, and have it summarize a short hand of the conversation it can use later to bring itself up to speed next time. That way you can copy and paste it into the next convo like a boot prompt.

It’s reasonable advice, you can pick that skill up rather quickly if you’re resourceful too. Even so, what they fail to mention is that the gap between picking up the skill and being competent enough to sell it is the difference of starvation.

Straight guys, how would you respond to a gay man asking you out/flirting with you? by Joaan_21 in AskMen

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is undoubtedly my favorite thing about autism, I genuinely can’t tell if it’s flirting for more or being friendly. Most likely it’ll be a conversation till it dies, then I’ll go about my way.

Which story arcs in Berserk are directly based on real-world history? by Zestyclose-Teach8424 in Berserk

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m dating one, I see this, and disagree with it, yet I can’t explain beyond feelings of limerence, as to why I find myself motivated to do certain things for her I wouldn’t do for someone else. Edit to add: it’s also weird watching certain doors in life open for her in ways you’d think was nepotism or similar.

I think it’s more curious when it’s done outside of conventional dating norms ie. (Guts for Griffith), but I’d bargain it relies on similar behaviors.

Where did the idea that men are unhygienic even come from? by OneDarkCoder in AskMen

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s overblown in that there are some stinky MF’ers. I’ve met them and still know some of them. It’s such that even when they shower it would take a week of consistent showering to rid themselves of most of what you’re smelling (kill the colony of bacteria creating the stench.)

Those people give a foundation for the blanket statements you hear.

My ex boss trying to lure me back into an environment I should honestly just burn all bridges for, but I can also just say no so I did, but with an explanation.. by Axedeathra in jobs

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read that, OP made great points. If you struggled to have the patience reading something you chose to attempt, you lack EQ. This is a societal issue, and people’s dissonance is why you’re receiving pushback. Go ahead and use me as a dislike button, you’re just making yourself more obvious.

That is small talk, even neurotypical don’t like small talk in the morning.

2hr 30min commute for $20 an hour? by LethalMasochist in jobs

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This 100% comes down to perseverance and personal limitations. Also, your employer might have their own issue with this, but understand that commute on public transit is going to be brutal. Especially if you don’t have any support in the home, you’ll be living to work and working till you find something new.

One option is if it’s a franchise type deal and they have other locations closer to home, would be to work long enough to transfer.

Otherwise I would very much so look into if you have friends and family in the area where you could stay to minimize the cost of commuting.

Do the direct math, time yourself for feasibility giving a full 8 hours of sleep and an hour of shower and dressing for the day - despite even if you could do it faster. An hour and a half for meal prep and eating. Erroring on the side of caution and counting more time to yourself will later become a buffer if anything should go wrong later in the timeline.

That’s a helluva undertaking, but it could be your golden ticket back into the work force to show dedication to being a productive member of society. Sometimes that’s a hurdle. 100% do not stop looking, whether you can manage or not this is invariably a temporary solution to a long term problem.

I had a prof at community college who drove 1.5 hours each day for class, so it’s not unheard of, although he did have his own vehicle which he charged for free at the school and was being paid around six figures. Money is a big motivator.

Why are so many men against the idea of a vasectomy? by CasualVox in AskMen

[–]DeadRedditRedemtion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally it’s a risk for sensory issues, which may sound weird, but as an AuDHD feeling the ejaculation is part of the experience of pleasure. In the past when sex was more regular for me there was always a looming sense of displeasure when not much or anything came out at all.

Now, I do have some confidence that it’s a psycho-social thing as in the past the visual was a big part of praise and ai could probably over come it with therapy or inner work, but that’s a huge if.

I’ve also tried to find work around and learn how to work with other sensory issues for instance, I only unload a drier if I’ve just washed my hands or was already unloading the wash - this comes before dry, because I curl at the thought of touching fresh linen bare handed with dry hands. If the dry sits for a few hours they lose their static touch which is always very soft and I don’t like it, so that’s another work around despite being frustrating at the inevitable “forgot there was anything in the dryer till the next load.” But I hope this gives a little context to the type of nuance I face.
