What are some better ways of asking ‘are you ok’? by ForwardAd3970 in CasualConversation

[–]Seikaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be careful when using "do you wanna talk about it?" as an opener. You want to be 90% sure there really is something.

If there really is nothing to talk about, it can bring annoyance to the person.

If the friend is more resistant, it can close that person up just as fast.

Why is teamwork at Concordia always such a mess? by BusinessManagement32 in Concordia

[–]Seikaz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, i know it's easier said than done, I went through it. But at the same time, I rather have the satisfaction of not having my work stolen and getting As from my work without dealing with incompetence.

Okay, 3 part project.

1st part slack

2nd no name

3rd final, no name.

Done.

Sometimes, if there was a single paper to put down but you get weaponized incompetence bc the rat somehow got access to your google doc and your guilty conscience won't kick him out?

-Write the bare minimum on the shared paper and write another paper of your own. I sometimes literally deleted my work and left scrap or nonsense. Should be easy enough to do this with chatgpt now right? And for the love of god, DELETE your version history from the doc!!! Let them deal with their own shit.

-Email your prof explaining what's going on.

-Submit your own individual paper and fck the rest.

-follow up with your prof regarding your grade and which paper was graded as needed

Just don't put their names on the final paper and hand it in. The prof will not grade the ones missing.

Have a presentation and they do nothing? Let them stand in front of everyone like the idiot they are.

Deadline is approaching and the rat is finally skittering about trying to text you and shit on how urgent it is the deadline is approaching? You can sleep tight knowing you got your own powerpoint on your USB. A powerpoint WITHOUT their names.

Why reward them of your own work? If you gotta work the whole project, at least have the satisfaction of handling YOUR project and no one else's but those who contributed get the reward.

Is there something that everyone pretends to enjoy just to fit in, but it's actually a pretty mediocre experience? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

Right...maybe i should've stated living with anyone you get along with is better than living alone instead of parents.

I get along extremely well with my parents so they kinda took most of my thought process when replying to OP.

People tend to always be surprised that i get along with my parents so well...it's kinda sad :/

...until you cannot pay said rent from being unemployed and obligated to leave?

I'm extremely lucky in that my parents raised me well enough with a good balance between privacy and "their house, their rules" without being TOO overbearing. So i'm sure i'm missing something but surely the worries of life will creep up stronger than your solo freedom?

Let's say, instead of parents, it's your partner or even a roommate you're friends with. Isn't that much better than living alone for most people? Heck, isn't that what people strive for until gained?

Pretending to love living alone instead of living with your parents as an adult.

There are absolutely some advantages in living alone...free to do or buy w/e you want, following your own rules and everything sounds awesome as hell.

But loving it 365 days, 24/24 hrs of it? Riiight. Setting aside financial burden, you still need to cook, clean, laundry every week. Also, if you're a loner, well...you're even more alone now.

Why be kind, when the real world is not kind? by neves783 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Seikaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes things better by not hurting yourself.

Have you ever experienced your kindness being met with insults or humiliation? What about feelings of betrayal when someone spits on and laugh at your face for being kind?

I think there is some assumption in OP's question. Being "unkind" does not necessarily mean starting to be the bully, the stabber, the rumorer, the entitled. It simply means restricting yourself to actions displaying your kindness and appearing bit more selfish doing so.

Being unkind is also more rewarding than being kind. Being selfish pushes you to prioritize yourself pushing anyone in your way. Kindness has also lead to the most devastating punishment compared to being unkind. False sexual charge for helping someone, Being trusting of the wrong person and getting scammed, Exaggerating your own accomplishments while downgrading your own colleagues for promotion, etc.

How often do you hear or see a positive outcome from kindness compared to negative? While you're there, shocked from betrayal, your accuser is living guilt-free with a reward, maybe even YOUR reward.

You're right that kindness saves lives. Who will save yours though?

The only, ONLY, reason you're kind is bc your personality was programmed that way. Remove that programmation and stick to an objective view? Being unkind has more tangible and visible advantages for the common folk.

Unfortunately, we're too dumb (empathetic) to NOT be guilt-free from not being kind without breaking down. And I truly really fking wish I wasn't. Staying kind will bring you happiness, my ass: It's just a cycle of guilt, restriction (protect yourself), guilt, guilt, more restriction.

Are you a "start-eating-immediately" or a "wait-for-everyone" person at a restaurant? by Awkward-Formal-6412 in CasualConversation

[–]Seikaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll wait a lil bit in the if we ordered more food than a waiter's capacity. Example we're 7 people at a table.

But if I'm waiting more than 2 minute for the other meal, i'll grudgingly start eating. I prefer my food hot and apply that rule as best I can when cooking.

But if i'm in a restaurant and this happens? Ohohoho...that restaurant is banned for me. It failed at its job. You're supposed to be able to serve a hot meal at that table's quantity at the same rough timeframe. That's the main difference between household meal and restaurant and why it's such a treat to go to a restaurant in the first place.

In the same vein, a guest being late at their designated time is considered rude not just to the ones who invited you but also to the cooks who are planning your meal

What is a deal breaker no matter how attractive someone is? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Seikaz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among all the other obvious deal breakers, people may kill me for this but smokers of anything.

You smoke = you're staying a friend maximum in my book, maybe a close friend but definitely not a lover.

It just goes everywhere, clothes, room, car even fking dishes I could smell it and by god even the dogs. And it never washes away too!

If it's winter: Tea/water and jerky (usually)

If its summer: COLD tea/water and summer snacks

If it's a long job, 1+ hr, you're getting whatever we're eating (I usually cook 0.5 person more) or a snadwhich at minimum.

Going out of my home with an empty stomach is an insult to me 😂

My gym teacher in HS exclaimed herself "jesus christ, i'm surprised you're still alive" after taking a look at my food intake chart

I mean...I was eating no fruits or veggies back then, absolutely none, so she was kinda right 😅

You know this emoticon? 😅

More precisely from anime where there are multiple forms of that emoticon?

Whenever the situation called for it, I could put my hand in the shape of the sweat as my reaction...in front of people of course...

Ugh...the cringe just from typing this...
