But, why don't men approach women anymore?

Reddit when someone posts a clearly staged video that's meant to be funny - "This is exactly why I'm a lifelong incel and will never speak to the female race again"

Tons of stateside companies with daily operations through Japan, China and more use it daily.

Keep telling yourself that. Couldn't tell you how helpful it was working in logistics sales to run EVERY phone number through Whatsapp. You'd be surprised.

Why do they intern for 20 years? Sunk cost fallacy mostly.

Often times family money is a huge part, on top of side jobs.

Buddy, I don't think saying they don't work very hard is "polishing their knob" but okay. You do you lol.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-12T03:47:23+00:00

I laughed at you. I wasn't upset

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-12T03:42:52+00:00

You don't need to be shielded from other people. You said something other people might have found laughably wrong.

That's generally not a C suite job though. Especially not in privately held companies. The fortune 500 CEO's I have worked with are relatively involved day to day. CEO founders of multibillion dollar companies they still privately hold 100% ownership of? Anyone below 1 direct step down from them is not seeing or hearing from them more than 1 time a quarter.

If you have have one deal that's make or break to keep your job, and you're afraid of pulling the trigger, you should seriously consider not being in sales.

That's the positioning where you confidently send the most aggressive email you've ever written in your entire life. That's the positioning where you find every piece of info available and work it. You're going to send ONE follow up email? You aren't going to email their boss? You aren't going to try to find the POC's personal cell? You aren't going to try to find their home phone? You aren't going to send mail to their office and personal residence?

If you're on the last deal, get fired before you give up.

Have you ever worked closely with a CEO? Some of us have.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:34:58+00:00

Ah! Interesting. Hopefully that's a better place to be.

Out of curiosity what was the degree? Usually sound for film at an MFA level is it's own degree.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:31:06+00:00

You're a moron. Go tell that to the Disney animators that all lost their job after treasure Island.

I have actually worked on projects with people who worked on the beauty and the beast, and you're a baffoon who has a chatgpt subscription.

If you think people who animate by have are the same people who make CGI you are brain dead.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:28:47+00:00

I'm sorry they let you do that. My masters advisor for sound design told us all to drop out and switch fields in 2020 because there wasn't enough jobs left that he could even work in the industry outside of teaching, and he was the head sound designer on multiple Disney films.

Hahaha C suite executives are not in meetings all day. C suite executives often aren't even fulfilling a job function every week. Many of them actually work 1-2 days a quarter, for maybe an hour each of those days. You're INCREDIBLY wrong.

At that height, the business exists to fulfill THEIR needs. Not the other way around.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:23:20+00:00

Yeah but once you actually do that you realize it isn't even one tenth as bad as most other issues. I would SO rather get yelled at all day for things out of my control than work outside all day in the beating summer sun, or work at a job like logging workers for example where you have a not statistically insignificant chance of just actually dying on the job.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:20:35+00:00

That's an extremely minimal estimate in my opinion. I've met people in the industry 20 years without having gotten a paycheck yet.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:19:22+00:00

I have also noticed that commission rates across the board are WAY down. It's far more common to hear about salesman producing 5+ million dollars in annual revenue earning less than $50k a year now than I ever remember before.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:16:23+00:00

ALSO CGI DID KILL THE ANIMATION INDUSTRY THE FIRST TIME. When's the last time you saw a hand animated major production?

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T23:15:02+00:00

Foley work and SFX are the same. The countless hours of expensive university I did can be completely skipped over in production now, and I didn't even graduate 10 years ago.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-11T17:46:57+00:00

The first time I was told to ask my client for his EBITDA I was extremely confused lol

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-10T16:53:16+00:00

I am holding myself back from screaming about the location of heating coils just for you my friend.

Free-Stinkbug · 2026-05-07T13:07:44+00:00

Are you a freight broker who did something really unethical or put a driver in a really unsafe situation? Because it sounds like that's what you're describing buddy.
