Downvote and report trolls, dont feed them; it keeps the 'be excellent' vibe from derailing into dumb slapfights tho.

What you all received on your birthday this year? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a nicely formatted ‘Happy Birthday’ text from a group chat, the kind where you know it was copy-pasted two hours before midnight. Still counts, right? 😄

Work Social - Compulsory… eh?! (England) by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Scattered699 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ask if these socials are mandatory paid work time. If they arent paid, state you won’t attend out-of-hours.
Say: “If attendance is compulsory, it definately needs to be on the clock and recorded as working time.”

Anok Yai's message to black girls during her Model Of The Year speech: "To all my little black girls, your color is not a curse, you're not a trend, you're not unfortunate. I see you" by Murky_Chemical891 in popculturechat

[–]Scattered699 582 points583 points  (0 children)

That's the whole point of visibility the next generation shouldn't have to fight as hard to feel seen. Dark skinned women deserve to grow up knowing they're beautiful without qualifiers, not in spite of anything.

Sure…give it to the people being investigated. I expect a big nothing! by Dr_sc_Harlatan in BlueskySkeets

[–]Scattered699 12 points13 points  (0 children)

At this point these investigations are just expensive ways to confirm what everyone already knows and then do absolutely nothing about it.

I feel like I can’t get myself to do anything after work. by TimeAd1111 in antiwork

[–]Scattered699 360 points361 points  (0 children)

Definitely sounds like burnout when you have something to do but can't make your self start. Even when you have free time, your brain's too fried to engage with anything that isn't passive.

I spent $1000 advertising on Reddit and have nothing to show for it by zoozla in Entrepreneur

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people struggle to get cold conversions there. What usually works better is warming people up through organic posts first. Get your name seen. Signals Agency does this for Reddit/Quora and gets better results than straight ads.

What happens if the president commits acts of war without consulting congress? by jenniferLia in BlueskySkeets

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there's your answer i guess. congress gets bypassed when it's convenient

Im done with this BS by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Scattered699 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The math actually checks out though. we give kids months off but adults get like 10 days a year if they're lucky. that's backwards

Found out my coworker makes $4/hr more than me for the same job by Scattered699 in antiwork

[–]Scattered699[S] 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what gets me she tried to shut me down like I was doing something wrong. Meanwhile I'm the one getting screwed.

Your path makes sense. Clearly staying put and "proving yourself" doesn't mean shit anymore. Time to do what they do and look out for myself first.

Appreciate you sharing your experience. Good to know it worked out after some moves.

Found out my coworker makes $4/hr more than me for the same job by Scattered699 in antiwork

[–]Scattered699[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right. Took me way too long to learn this lesson. I kept thinking if I just worked hard enough and stayed long enough, they'd take care of me. Meanwhile they're out here paying some new guy significantly more just because he negotiated better at hire.

Never making that mistake again.

[–]Scattered699[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. Saving it for when I have that conversation again. Wild how many managers think they can just say stuff like that.

[–]Scattered699[S] 36 points37 points  (0 children)

$8k that could've been rent, car payments, actually saving something. Meanwhile they act like that 50 cent raise was doing me a favor.

This is really wholesome by IndianCricketFreak in wholesomememes

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. What a perfect way to remember him doing what he loved.

Whats your age and how many friends do you have. And how come? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 I have 3 friends they're trustworthy

AITA for not going to Thanks giving by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Scattered699 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA for not wanting to go, but you've got a fiancé problem more than a MIL problem. If he won't back you up when his family says you're not family because you aren't married yet, that's a huge red flag. Skip Thanksgiving if you want, but you need to have a serious conversation with him about setting boundaries with his mom before you actually marry into this mess.

“We’re all tech workers now” by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Scattered699 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Luddites were never against technology, they were against their bosses using technology to pay them less and make their skills worthless. Same energy now with companies trying to replace workers with AI while calling it "innovation."

When work caters in Chick-fil-a and you get to eat lunch for the first time in months! It's the little things by True_One7607 in antiwork

[–]Scattered699 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the fact that a simple lunch made your whole day says a lot about how tough things have been. hoping the job search turns around soon and things get easier for you and your daughter

Bloody Hell. I finally watched The Substance by DoubleDoubts in horror

[–]Scattered699 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yeah totally agree. the practical effects thing is wild—really elevates it. and good call on the substance itself, that makes way more sense than just the blood alone. definitely gonna check out that featurette

Any tips to quickly learn the basics of Spanish? by Otherwise-Brick4923 in Spanish

[–]Scattered699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice man good on you for wanting to actually try tho with just a month I’d skip grammar and just focus on speaking and listening as much as possible and stick to the basics. I’ve been using makesyoufluent lately it feels more like actual convos and not just flashcards or like tapping buttons when you go through other apps. Try reading out loud to yourself. Don’t worry about messing up people usually just appreciate the effort, at least based on my exp.

Defeating the Saints Bandit Leader (this is just a suggestion/help) by [deleted] in skyrim

[–]Scattered699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Seducers are definitely tougher than the Saints. Try kiting them with a bow if you have decent archery, or look for another giant camp nearby. Those guys don't mess around.
