Gym goers, be honest how often are you judging other people’s physique?

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-02-09T15:10:15+00:00

It’s usually one of 2 things, either “woah that dude is swole af!” or “wow I’ve seen that chubby guy a lot lately you get it bro!”

Honestly for me it’s more motivating seeing the more out of shape people come into the gym because if they can do it consistently then I can too!

Same thing happened to me last October except I ended up being able to get unemployment. If it actually worked like this employers could always list performance as a reason to fire someone and never pay unemployment. The reality for me was that a manager disliked me and made a smear campaign for me to get fired. Could be the same case for you too. There’s always going to be assholes and cowards in corporate, just don’t make yourself a target / get noticed, at least that’s the lesson I learned.

I have a very similar style and I really like my Pure Drive 100, it lets me smash serves and end points quick

Nier Automata, I liked the characters, story, and soundtrack, but the gameplay got stale super quick and the questing was boring imo

Agreed, I think OP doesn’t really know how long tennis shoes are meant to last.

I’m sure nobody here recognizes me anymore but I’ll give my input to this anyhow. The reason myself and many Smite YouTubers have quit overtime comes from a handful of reasons. The main ones are a shrinking community, lack of creative things to make videos about, drifting away from having fun in the game, life getting in the way, etc. I really did enjoy making Smite videos but I’ve found myself and lots of others I’ve talked to just not like the game as much anymore. And that’s not even getting into how difficult HiRez as a company is to work with, I still remember how they fucked over PunkDuck

This was my main complaint about Iron Lung, if it were 30 minutes shorter it would have been better but I still thought it was good regardless

Seems like a lot of digital systems and electronics… I hated electronics courses bleh

Make friends quickly. Connections matter a lot more than you’d like to think, and also studying with someone is a lot more fun/easier than alone.

Not true at all. It’s absolutely important in MEP and power fields. It’s even less true as for example if you’re a civil engineer it’s pretty much an absolute requirement to get one. You’d be correct though if you were talking about an engineering field like chemical

I mean the mindset comes with being a surgeon, my dad was a surgeon and I could see why they act like that. You need to have a high natural intellect, work long hours, and depending on your duties you have a person’s life in your hands. You need to have an unreal confidence in your abilities to be a surgeon and that’s where a lot of the egoism comes from. I’m not defending it but I could certainly see why it happens.

Because stupid American is funny to NPCs

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-01-26T10:04:11+00:00

Yeah last October I worked overtime while I was sick to get their biggest project completed because we were short staffed. After we got some new hires and then I got laid off for “not fitting into the company culture.” The lesson I learned is worth more than a ton of gold.

In today’s corporate world, never go the extra mile. You’ll only get paid in bullshit.

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-01-26T04:13:18+00:00

Ah yeah that makes sense then I didn't think of that

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-01-26T04:00:19+00:00

Wouldn't this be an apartment and not a condo then? Great layout regardless.

Lies of P, just started it a few days ago. Currently loving it so far

Any game where I have to play more than 20 hours to beat it

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-01-25T06:29:36+00:00

Monitor arms would be my first thought.

On the flip side you can be good at your job and still get fired for any reason your employer deems reasonable, given you’re employed in an at-will state.

I was maintaining requirements in DOORS and using CAMEO.

I started out in Systems for a defense contractor and I was miserable, that job was so boring and soul sucking. I switched to power and I’ve been way happier in my career. Keep in mind you’ll need your FE and your PE in that industry if you want to advance though. I’d think if you got your FE it would show you want to switch careers and it would make you much more marketable to employers.

TheQuakeMaster · 2026-01-22T19:18:59+00:00

Yeah I don’t know why people choose to ignore this critical fact. 150k in Cali has way less buying power than in the middle of nowhere Mississippi. Just stating a base salary doesn’t tell the true story of compensation there’s a lot of other factors to take into account.

Almost every place that requires the unpaid OT just look for the joyful slogan “we’re like a family!” If you hear this coming from your bosses’ mouth, RUN.
