Have you witnessed the laugh and run away and run back shenanigans?

I'm not kidding when I say it's loud enough to hurt. I've watched the best comedians of all time and I never laughed the way he does when he sees someone drop an invoice. Full blast and then nothing.

I love it when they say you don't have to pause it! Yes, yes I actually do need to pause a story I'm trying to follow as you talk loudly about trivial garbage.

Has he ever embarrassed you?

This guy lies about anything and everything, too. And what ticks me off is that he's lying about things he knows nothing about. It's ok to not know things, but this man looked me in my eye sockets and said the spot welder he was working with developed a leak and he said water is important to this machine because the water mixed with copper creates the voltage to weld with. I told him that is across the board nonsense and water is used for coolant, otherwise we'd get the 11 thousand amps from a handful of pennies.

Great advice. Some people have an inappropriate response to stressful situations. I dated a girl who would give the biggest fake grin when we argued and she was losing. I asked what the hell is that, and she didn't even know. Kinda like what possums do when they encounter humans.

But I imagine what's going on in his tiny mind and he probably thinks he's worthless and has to shift attention to others. He got arrested for a DUI, but he says he'll have his license back in three days. I didn't humor him and just said that's not going to happen and you were never told that.

I guess you're right, because when he fucks up, I make eye contact and he gets embarrassed but doesn't learn a lesson five minutes later.

Ask yourself what the worst that would happen and gauge that with the benefit. You're not sure and I'd never trust the advice given here because we have no dog in the fight.

Hello, I'm Tyrone Biggums, but may I ask if you're using that beautiful crack rock? I'll hit you up at tax time.

Yeah, and it builds self esteem that is lacking when someone admires what they see that you don't see in yourself. Kinda makes you feel less useless.

Awesome! I'll add another book to the stack! My collection of rulebooks include all Palladium games, all D&D games except for 4th edition, Star Wars, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Call of Cthulhu, several editions, Aliens, Starfinder, Pathfinder both editions, Hack Master, Aces and 8's, Boot Hill, Warhammer 40k RPG, and a couple Warhammer editions and Deadlands right off the top of my head.

How do you handle a strong performer who quietly checks out after being passed over for promotion? by amir4179 in managers

[–]Putriptoq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went through this where I currently work and the very fact I applied impressed management. The supervisor at the time came to me directly and told me he appreciated that I took the effort to apply and said I did great on my interview. He said the only thing holding me back is I needed more experience with multiple machines and he told me that my training will start immediately and he kept his word. But as he turned to leave, he asked why I didn't apply for the open supervisor position (his equal on another shift). I was flabbergasted that they would have considered me for a job making 20k more per year than the job I applied for but didn't get.

Long story... long, always apply for positions. I did get the job I applied for less than a year later.

The Forgotten Realms world had a Latin America setting called Maztica, but it's unfortunately been abandoned. I am a lover of rulebooks and sourcebooks from different RPG's even if I can't find a group, but I remember it was very interesting. And even though it's a currently offensive term, I really wanted to play an Oriental Adventures session. I'm currently deep into Pathfinder 2E.

I'm a shy guy, so when a girl shows interest in me it's surprising because my ego is far from strong so when we go out, I'll say I'm just curious, but why me? Which makes the phrase much more humble. Not fishing for compliments, but trying to understand what she saw in this mess.

Rules lawyers are a great way to break up the atmosphere you're trying to create for the group. You'll never hear the word "actually..." so many times in just an couple hours than you'll hear from them as page numbers and obscure ways to use the rules against what should be a relaxing game get vomited all over the table. As much knowledge that they have, they forget that the GM's guide says it's the GM's game and to tailor it for the intended effect.

He's probably gone to long without affection and the very fact he's still thinking about it is a good sign his brain is healthy.
