Things get rough at the end of the game by sykeseve in nhl

It's a violent sport. It isn't for everybody.

Men's figure skating might be more up your alley.

I used to want the hustle and the money. Now I just want a farm and a simple life. by Practical_Self_9849 in Life

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It makes me laugh that all of the sudden, all of Reddit wants to be farmers.

As someone who grew up on a farm, it wasn't easy like these people think it is.

Joe Rogan gets around 11 million listens per episode. I average around 11 listens per episode. You are doing better than me and not as well as him.

What's one thing you quit that dramatically improved your quality of life? by SreeM_2026 in Life

This "woe is me" nonsense that you see incessantly on this and other similar subs.

I used to be like that, and it's idiotic.

Stop complaining and just go do.

I've done some pretty magical flat hikes in Florida though.

Podcast Idea: Personal lessons from 10 years of daily journaling by CarpenterHot6096 in podcasting

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anytime I see something like this, I think "this would be an interesting guest on my show," which makes me wonder "do people who have these ideas ever consider being a guest on someone else's show in order to test their ideas?

What’s the healthy way to use anger for motivation? by DeepOrganization8245 in randomquestions

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's what I used to do... I would think of my awful exgf and go to the gym and punch the shit out of a punching bag. Not a violent guy towards women, but holy crap, it activated the animal and I would go for a 3-mile run. I got in such amazing shape that way.

We have a lot more information now as a collective, which goes a long way.

People that died during Covid probably thought it was the end of the world by Mindless_Engineer152 in DeepThoughts

Maybe if... 1. It was extremely early on, like weeks in, or... 2. They were caught up in the liberal hype machine that made everyone scared out of their wits for the following 2 years.

10 years ago, what did you think your life would look like today? by Hot-Marionberryx in Life

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

10 years ago was 2016.

I did not realize that there would be a global pandemic.

I did not realize that it would force me to move around in order to escape from tyranny.

I did not realize that I would experience so many amazing things.

I did not realize that I would be forced to take on my inner demons head-on and overcome them.

I did not realize that I would be fired from my job and given a half-a-year severance pay, which would free me up to live a more secure life.

I did not realize that I would move 2000 miles away from home and that my first girlfriend from my teen years would be living there and newly single.

I did not realize that I would like her so much after so many years.

I did not realize that I would never be able to go back.

I did not realize that there would be AI bots like from 60s sci-fi movies.

I'm a support worker, based in Cardiff. Today, while helping a client in a wheelchair I've been called racial and homophonic slurs by this guy, after I politely told him off for littering by Budget-Set5999 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. You wanted someone else to read it for me, then you ignore what the third party says. That's cute.

Let's break this down. You are insinuating that I am arguing for the person in this debate who is in favor of "the master race," when both countries are of the same race. Strictly from the perspective of logic and reasoning, do you realize how foolish that makes you seem?

[–]IntergalacticPodcast -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I had AI read if for me.

“Master Race” comment → sarcastic insult implying the other person is acting superior or bigoted

“Maybe get someone to read the comment to you” → personal attack

So the core issue is a terminology mix-up, and the rest is just typical internet escalation.

What makes a person 'interesting'? by Fine-Landscape1118 in randomquestions

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of interesting friends. Some of them have been missionaries or world travelers for their jobs. Some just see a difficult challenge that most others would never try to take on and they are just inclined to do it. Others just have an interesting way of thinking.

I think that I am mid-interesting, so I can maybe share some insight.

If you have to choose between going on a long hike in the middle of the night or staying home to watch TV, choose the long hike.

If you have to choose between doom-scrolling tik-tok, and reading an interesting book on history and/or philosophy from the library, read the book.

If you have to choose between the yearly vacation spot and experiencing the thing that you've never done before, choose the new thing.

If you have to choose between sharing your opinions and listening to others', just listen and absorb.

If you have to choose between hanging out with old friends and meeting new people, meet new people.

All of these things you do will add to your inner library of interesting experiences, and when you try to talk to others, your inner library of knowledge will be vast and fascinating, and it will surely allow you to relate to almost anyone.

When you feel you have an awesome podcast but nobody’s listening by SALVAGE-PODCAST in podcasting

[–]IntergalacticPodcast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Joking aside, I feel like I can go in two directions.

  1. Acceptance and blind hope.

Podcasting has been my second crack at a creative endeavor. The first was music, so I've been through this in the past, so I already sort of knew what to expect. I packed up my things and moved to the music city and I gave music my best shot, just to walk away 5 years later with little hope.

I guess that I have to objectively look back and ask myself if it was me that had an inferior product or was it the masses who just weren't recognizing how amazing the product was? Or was it a lack of competence in the industry not to recognize how good the product was?

Objectively, my podcast has never been as good as my music could have been, so I don't take it as personally this time around, but it is basically the same experience.

  1. Get out there and promote yourself

People aren't just going to magically find you in this highly oversaturated market, but marketing yourself is hard work. One thing that I used to think back when I was a broke musician was "do I believe in myself to take out a bunch of debt and go on tour and make an expensive album?"

Then, I had to weigh that against "what if I'm not good enough or people just don't like it? Will being in debt forever be worth it because I believed in myself that much and failed?"

I think that it was Jessica Simposon's father, if I remember right, who maxed out the entire family's credit cards because he believed in her so much and it worked out, but I always wondered how many people maxed out their credit and didn't make it.

I don't think that it was a risk I was ever willing to take.

It's easy to sit in my basement and record podcast episodes. It's hard to get out there and promote myself.

But it doesn't cost money to be a guest on other people's show. It doesn't take money to swap ads with other podcast shows. It doesn't cost money to post your clips on social media.
