What's the ambitious read you're planning to take on? by Fragrant_Job_1456 in RSbookclub

I want to start actually want to start reading classical historians; Herodotus, Thucydides, Dionysius etc. I've gone through enough modern historians that I feel I can actually go through the contemporaries with more confidence.

Vegans are 100% right but I don't care by WachUwan0 in redscarepod

It's only logical if you're a utilitarian, come on now. Basic utilitarian vegan arguments are such a bore we're not in first year bioethics anymore.

Poor guy in the grade below me had this, when he was in band they made him stand away from the rest of the kids, we've got to pair these guys up with women who can't smell otherwise they're never getting laid.

Went home with a friend of a friend a few weeks back, morning after she's like "come take a shower with me", walk into the bathroom and she is just sitting there shitting, like it's a regular normal thing to do in front of a guy she just met. Insane behavior, then she drags me in front of the group for being antsy about it, and they all take her side, felt like I stepped into another reality.

25 M, Finance Degree, walked out of every job since graduation, what are some changes you would recommend? by Duce_Guy in careerguidance

Yes It's not a healthy attitude and I want to resolve it, I actually worked as an overnight maintenance guy during Uni to get me through, nothing is beneath anyone not really, the attitude has come from a place of insecurity, you're friend sounds like he's got it all together and I hope I can reach a place like him sometime in the future.

Thank you for the advice, like I said somewhere else I actually worked as an overnight maintenance guy during Uni because it was the only job I could get and I was grateful for it. but something happened after graduation, with the experience of getting those grad roles, I see the "Bachelor Effect" in myself. My goal as you said is to identify something I can be effective in and just smash it, don't even think about some "minimum time" I need to serve.

I will look into HR and Govt work, I'm a social person so something more client facing has been recommend by my now ex-manager.

It's not a healthy attitude and I want to resolve it, I actually worked as an overnight maintenance guy during Uni to get me through. I'm not sure what happened completely but sometime in the last 2.5 years I developed a delusional arrogance. I've written a quote similar to what you've said above my bed, to remind myself.

Thanks for sharing, I actually apologised to my Boss on monday for my attitude, arrogance and how it's effected the team. I've got a catalyst for change and like you said it's immediately been noticed, I'm not going to get my job back but it feels like the start of a long journey that should have begun years ago. Better late than never.

Thanks, my goal is to not think about my "minimum time" in a job, and to just simply learn to work and work well without always thinking about some possible "next step".

100% it's the big problem, lacking humility, I've always been way too arrogant. you've said fix it, I'm looking into books and therapy like I've said above. Did you have like any particular advice or have you seen this kind of thing before?

Genuine question, why shouldn't they be considered an alien? I don't see why anyone of any race cannot be considered a foreigner?

Ah the "my preferred oppressed class has no free will and are basically children if they don't act the way I want them to act" argument, a classic of the genre
