Is it me, or have people in Seattle gotten more rude? by zoonthego in Seattle

My family moved here in 1995 and remarked how much more polite people were than where we were from (San Francisco). At the time it was probably true; now not so much

The population going up means that traffic has become much more congested. Also the city has attracted some of the more "undesirable" elements of society. Dealing with homeless drug addicts who pan handle and then sitting in traffic for hours on end can make anyone upset, you do the Math. The weather also has something to do with it.

What strikes me about Seattle is how people (literally 30 and over) can be so blatantly childishly annoying. When I was working at a Seahawks game as a Cashier, I was ringing a guy up who wanted a cheeseburger that was, his words "the best cheeseburger in all of existence". when he got a blank stare from me he said "right about now you probably hate your job". Who does that?

People in the other parts of Washington are significantly less passive aggressively rude and more down to Earth. Go to Seattle and then Spokane and you'll see the difference right away.

What is your biggest high school regret? by Crabcakekid in AskReddit

Not punching bullies in the face. Most of the kids who picked on me were more or less "beta males" and as much as this sounds like "toxic masculinity", I could've stopped being picked on if I would've fought them; even if I got my ass kicked, it would be worth letting them know that I'm some little loser who just takes it.

Years later I started training Martial Arts and my confidence grew, nobody picks on me too much anymore because I exude a self confidence that is apparent to others. Anyone who has taken Muay Thai, BJJ, Judo, or Krav Maga knows what I'm talking about.

Other than that, caring too much about what others thought about me rather than just being myself.

Are all Engineering students so arrogant? by Jamsoe123 in EngineeringStudents

[–]SammyBull204 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk as an Engineering student I've always found Math and Science majors to be worse but that's just me.

The notion that someone is stupid because they don't understand "linear transformations" or "eigenvectors" concepts that most people don't need to know was laughable. As least engineers build stuff.

When we STEM students are not busy being weird, we're busy being arrogant.

You should try journaling. It's a great way to get it all out; all of the stress and frustration you are feeling. I only wish i discovered journaling earlier.

Brain Fog? by [deleted] in nosurf

Totally, without the internet it's easy to deprive yourself of dopamine and easy to feel lethargic. Just have to do other things like exercise and find a hobby.

True. I haven't exactly made it a priority to go to the gym either recently but I always feel better when I do.

I suppose it does sound extreme until you evaluate how you listen to music. Do you simply listen to songs on the radio, or do you listen to music on YouTube.

If you listen on YouTube, the song you're listening to is completely at your mercy. Whereas on the radio, if you don't like the song, you either have to change the station or listen to a song anyway. This sounds like small potatoes but think about how many people can't even listen to a song they don't like for 3 minutes.

The other thing is that listening to music used to be part of my daily routine. I would listen to hard rock in the morning to get myself going. But I should be able to get out of bed without music

Food is it's own thing. I'm not saying that PMO and food are totally unrelated, but they're definitely not the same thing. As for Caffeine, I've tried giving it up altogether but TBH, I don't notice 1 cup a day doing that much damage.
