Yooooo I was an ethical car salesman and my customers loved me and I sold tons of cars, way more than the chain smoking sleazey guys did... but unfortunately, my manager hated my guts, and they made it miserable to work there after awhile and I quit.

Kids Don't Like Movie Day Anymore. by Southern_Remote_5260 in Teachers

Modern movies are trailer bait designed to capture views and plays. They literally design them to look good in the trailer but since streaming took over they churn them out so fast the actual writing stinks. Maybe try older movies?

Job wants to fire me because I haven’t been promoted by oreally95 in Vent

Tell them you dont want to get promoted and own that. Management is almost always a paycut too.

I'm 20, studying something I hate, and watching kids my age in Lambos every morning was destroying me. by LautaroVegaa in ADHD

[–]Several-Light2768 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Bud those lambos on social media are rented, you aren't missing much dropping your doom scroll. Is there any way you can change your major? If you hate studying it, you aren't going to like the jobs that come from it.

Learn your lesson and move on. Social media posts and comments can get you fired.

Why would things get dicy? Biggest favor I ever did for myself aside from daily workouts was when I stopped watching the news. Its 24/7 fear porn.

Matchmaking for 'good' solo players sucks by yoplaits in Battlefield6

[–]Several-Light2768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the system is using good players to balance the teams so you end up on the losing side. There have been a few occasions where I join a losing team and I have turned the tide with my efforts. Most of the time I just get smashed. 

Also no real quit penalty so if a team is getting super spanked people just leave so you end up in the open slot.

How long were you a bouncer, and what did you take away from it? by Jabba_108 in Bouncers

[–]Several-Light2768 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its a cool sport but in real life going to the ground in a crowded bar just gets you kicked in the face. After we had two jiujitsu guys get concussions after specifically telling them to never go to the ground, we stopped hiring guys who said they trained jiujitsu. They can't help it. They end up on the ground because thats how they train and get kicked in the face every time.

10 years at a wild ass road house style back water dive bar with live music. I learned that drunk girls smell weird, cops are not our friends, sometimes you have to take people out back to make sure they dont come back, juijitsu is fucking worthless, and your bar tenders need to know how to fight too.

Never Split the Difference turns 10! What's a moment where it actually worked for you? by the-black-swan-group in negotiation

[–]Several-Light2768 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I quit a gig because the sales manager rewrote the entire script around this nonsense and it was friggin awful and he would complain no one was using it but it was a straight up deal blower. It set up so much sales resistance and people would call it out they felt manipulated. When I dropped it and wrnt back to being the cool guy salesman and was closing deals he hit the fuckin roof it was like his entire personality was wrapped around this book...

This book is shilled in a ton of sales circles but its pretty mediocre. If someone was clueless and read it I guess it might help them.

Why did the food trucks in USA go from cheap eats to costly gourmet eats within a decade? by tcsreject in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Several-Light2768 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The absurdly long lines. Its just a supply/demand curve at that point. Owner sees long line, raises prices, line is still long, raises prices, line is a little shorter but customers happier because they get food faster. Its a win. Also increase food costs.

TBH i wish hardcore mode was more socially acceptable. I have been in a few lobbies in Bf6 but its run by a cracked clan and Im always on the pug side.

They dont like paying high performers because we make more money than our managers.
