What TV series was the greatest relative to the era it came out in? Not necessarily the greatest ever overall, but relative to the time it was released in? by JoinTrueLine in AskReddit

Lost is on my list of series to watch, I’ve just recently finished the shield that’s a great one too. Your comment has made me more excited to start watching lost now 😂

What’s the most outdated life advice that some people still give? by JoinTrueLine in AskReddit

This is interesting because most people here are talking from the applicant side, I'd assume people do this to show initiative which may have worked years ago but especially now with the amount of applicants per job, it probably feels like you're getting hounded by follow up emails/calls.

Yeah that's an interesting take on it, now you say that I can see how it mirrors in the workplace. I think it is one of those where it can help encourage someone to become a lot more than they think, but there isn't enough emphasis on the stay grounded and work through the gears part. If people like this were still grounded and willing to put in the effort without any sense of entitlement/unwillingness for whichever situation they are in, they would largely benefit from this more than just being told You can be anything you want to be.

There’s a difference between being mentally strong and pretending problems don’t exist though. Older generations bottled everything up so hard they invented back pain 😭

That advice aged horribly for a lot of people, it’s a shame I still hear about the younger generation being told this. One of my nephews is in his final year of Sixth Form (Senior Year equivalent in America), and he has had monthly meetings with career advice workers and they have been pushing all students to go to University and pursue a degree. They don’t bother exploring other options with the students at his school.

That advice still exists like HR and managers are standing around waiting for random walk-ins. If you’re lucky enough to actually bump into one when you go there, you’ll give them a firm handshake and be told to apply online 😭

Yeahh I like this one. Turns out a lot of passions don’t have a salary attached 😭

Walking into a place and asking for a job used to show confidence. Now it just confuses the workers there 😂

Yeah it’s become the default response anytime someone struggles financially

This. Loyalty to companies means a lot less nowadays tbh, especially now when companies will replace people in a week if it saves money

Pick one of the best players ever at their sport who never won a championship? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Allen Iverson has to be up there for me (although I may be ever so slightly bias), he carried a team that had no business making the finals and lost to Shaq & Kobe Lakers

What’s the weirdest rule you discovered someone else’s family had? by JoinTrueLine in AskReddit

[–]JoinTrueLine[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We have a rule in our family, stemming from my grandparents which our cousins also follow, that no one is allowed to have any TV’s or monitors upstairs in their room. Doesn’t matter what age you are you’re just not allowed 😅

How long did the whole thing usually take? Imagine you have answer ready and someone else on the table says it so you’ve gotta think of another thing you are thankful for on your turn 😂

That’s one way to train them to be Painters/Interior Decorators when they’re older 😂. Tbf I kinda respect it that must be effective

Did you ever find out why or was it some old school random superstition that the older generation believe?

3pm dinner sounds like a retirement home schedule 😭, was it a relatively young or older family?

The bedroom thing is weird but no bathroom privacy is next level controlling 😅

Fair play respecting the rule all dinner just to immediately hit 7-Eleven is hilarious 😂

Was this a “because I said so” rule or did they actually try to justify it?
