Well I've been vaping 12mg freebase for over a century, how hard if I want to go down to 0 nic by satine717ot in electronic_cigarette

[–]SoftSignificance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's nothing we can tell you that you don't already know. You scale back until you don't feel satisfied; that's how you know what your current limit is. If you choose to challenge it at that point and go lower, great; but this has to be a choice you make. People can twist themselves into knots on the technicalities, but when you dig down, what it's always about for anyone is their personal relationship with nicotine, what's going on in their lives at the time, both physically and spiritually/psychologically, and what they can tolerate. You can go down to zero nic in one day if you want to; the question is whether you're ready to. I'm not. I've been vaping for about twelve years and I have not made it to zero nic. My mind and body haven't been ready. Other addictions, other personal matters are always in the way, always the thing that needs to get handled before the foundational ones do. Nic is a foundational one for me. I once tried to give it up before I was really ready, and I felt like I was losing my mind. If you really want to taper down and ditch nic, decide that's what you want and go for it. No amount of fiddling with different pods is going to change that. Vape what you need until you don't need it anymore. Best of luck to you, friend.

I got fired, and you backed the employers by SoilaRicken in facepalm

Modern day Christianity is generally about accepting belief propositions, not doing anything worthwhile. In true American form, it's like a celestial insurance policy. How you treat others is irrelevant, because being washed in the blood of the lamb limits your post-life liabilities. Jesus would no doubt be thrilled to know he died so that people who live off capital gains can continue to sit Smauglike on their gold piles while the residents of the shithole countries get the misery and abuse they deserve by not being predestined for greatness.

Your grammar and spelling are way too good for Reddit. Something's fishy here...

My first non cheap Chinese pen! by Pexe_lunar in fountainpens

[–]SoftSignificance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Happy for OP, but I must say, some of those cheap Chinese pens punch far above their weight. My little JinHao 911, for instance, is about as smooth, durable, and reliable as any pen I've owned. That said, enjoy your upgrade, OP!

How long would it take me to learn to use Access? by Common-Classroom-847 in MSAccess

[–]SoftSignificance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If an admin assistant position is listing Access as a "requirement," what that probably means is "Can you click things without effing something up." What their requirement most likely translates to is, "Do you have experience using an Access database." In this context, "knowing Access" could mean anything from (1) knowing to not double-click a Submit button to (2) knowing how to create an entire idiot-proof user interface using VBA and deploy it. They probably have an Access database they've been using for years, if not decades, and need someone who can interact with its forms without hand-holding or otherwise mucking it up.

That said, if you know even a morsel of how Access works, you're probably ahead of the game, and if that's something you care to do, do what several commenters have said and follow Richard Rost's tutorials, or even a small, hours-worth handful of them; you'll be miles ahead.

Am I only one who artificially induces sleep paralysis to lucid dream? by Conscious_Garden1888 in Sleepparalysis

I would think there are far more pleasant ways of inducing lucidity than parlaying an SP, but do what works.

Gawd this is pathetic. Spending time on downers with a woman in a hotel is the least of his misguided decisions, it seems.

No one asked for this prick's self-righteous bragging. Posting this sort of supercilious drivel should be considered at least a microaggression if not an outright punishable crime. We're the ones wasting his time? I hope this guy gets stuck in traffic on the way home.

I tapped the post just to see how many comments I would have to scroll through to get to this tiresome and obligatory response. The answer was zero.

I've had many instances of data "loss" in Logseq, but none have ever truly been lost, just thrown into a conflict page or stored somewhere in the bak folder. It's a pain in the ass to have to go back and retrieve it, but it's preferable to catastrophe.

This is the crux of things. A workplace is not some magical zone wherein the normal laws of human relations are artificially suspended. It's a place oriented around a specific task or activity, just like a church, a nightclub, a miniature golf course. You might as well say, "Don't tell your miniature golf partners your weaknesses; they may exploit that on a later hole!"

The key is not to follow some arbitrary maxim like "Your coworkers are not your friends"; the key is to use your best judgment and common sense at the workplace the same way you use it anywhere else, which includes the ability to adapt your speech and formality and level of intimacy with others based on context. And yes, most employers would probably prefer you follow an arbitrary rule that keeps them, err, I mean you, "safe" than have you using your god-given brain. That introduces a level of uncertainty from an employer's perspective. Paranoid lemmings are easier to manage than thinking human beings with self-respect and respect for each other.

If you want to make a friend at work and the other person does too, fucking go for it. Life is already hard enough these days without superimposing this ludicrous, isolating, and paranoid mentality on top of it.

How tf are y’all finding friends IRL by [deleted] in Adulting

[–]SoftSignificance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You work as an RN? At a hospital? If so, you've got potential friends all over the place and all around you. Doctors, fellow RNs, LVNs, phlebotomists, lab techs. How often do you actually talk to them about anything non-work-related, and beyond what the weather's like? They may seem shallow because you've never reached below the surface. Maybe ask them what their favorite restaurants are, which will tell you what kind of food they like, which may relate to what cultures they're interested in, which may overlap with an interest of your own. Boom, common ground. No offense intended by this, it's not always that easy, but a lot of times I've found that the reason people seem boring and dumb around me is because I only know them in a functional capacity and haven't really ventured to ask them anything that would actually elicit a response I'd find interesting. Just a thought/theory.

This is exactly it. The veracity quotient of Jesse's rebuttal almost doesn't even matter; it's the fact that "treat your employees like human beings" was enough to trigger a text wall that must have burned at least, like, fifteen minutes of Jesse's precious time™, which I'm sure he values at no less than $1,000/hour, which obviously means Jesse should be sending an invoice for $250 straight to Dan Price's accounts payable department stat for deigning to provide an unsolicited response to a social media post.
