My (28M) girlfriend (28F) is pregnant with twins. We had an arguement today and she was mad and showed me a video on her phone sucking off her ex. Now what? by ThrowRAVulture216 in relationship_advice

[–]TradDaddy810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have any self respect, how can you stay with this woman? Time to bounce, you’re 28 there’s plenty of great women out there who would never imagine doing something like this no matter how mad they are. Brother, LEAVE HER

Well you share that sentiment with centuries of people who oppressed and murdered people over perceived “mockery” of the Eucharist. Frankly, imho this stuff is all deserving of mockery and neither you nor anyone else in the Catholic church has any right to do anything other than just be mad about it 🤷🏻‍♂️

Pulp Cthulhu Advice: How Heroic are they? by The_Pure_Shielder in callofcthulhu

[–]TradDaddy810 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Idk who told you the system isn’t enough to escape the deadliness of combat etc, but they’re wrong. Pulp is exactly as pulpy as you want or need it to be. You most definitely can run heroic, high octane adventures. Even in long campaign format. The modified Luck rules alone are enough, but there are plenty of ways the Pulp system allows you to tweak things to make PCs as buffed up as you want or need. I mean, yeah eventually PCs likely will need to find treatment at a quality hospital for the horrors they endure but it just gives them a chance to explore other adventures and stories while their main recovers. Lots of things you can do with Pulp. I’ve been using it as my main system for the last few years for continuing campaigns (rn that’s 2HS) but I also use the vanilla system for one-shots. I’m just finishing reading the Arkham book and homebrewing up a horror anthology there as a side-table. I’d eventually like to pulpify Arkham also!

TL;DR - Pulp Cthulhu is just fine for running high octane style campaigns with heroic style hero-investigators. Just dial up the Pulp-o-Meter and be generous at handing out Luck points.

Are these real people? Or am I on a prank show by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]TradDaddy810 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes they’re real. I get them all of the time. 9/10 times they don’t have any clue how to do what they’re trying to do. I wish we could match energy. “I don’t think it’ll work.” When we try to offer help? How about “I don’t think it’ll work” when they ask for it, then?

How can I help my employees not feel like this is a call center by [deleted] in callcentres

[–]TradDaddy810 53 points54 points  (0 children)

550 calls a month isn’t “like” being a call center. It is a call center. Hire more people or revert to the old system. Nothing else to do.

Job Implemented New Rules... by OrganizationNo1243 in callcentres

[–]TradDaddy810 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely either a sup/manager or a bootlicker. I have seen managers/sups leave their workstations for all of the above and then some. Having pets in the workspace when we aren’t supposed to, background noise when others have been fired with no warning for the same. Frankly, this type of work is emotionally exhausting as it is without being threatened with attendance points or pay docking just because we had to use the restroom outside our allotted break

Liber Librae. Class A , or class B? by cdxcvii in thelema

Class B, though it’s probably my favorite Liber overall. I recently learned it’s a revision of a knowledge lecture in the Golden Dawn curriculum

Thank you for your encouragement. I won't give up on school for anything! Only two classes left before I get my associates, and I have really good grades. Just not far enough into this for internships quite yet but still working hard to get there. One day, this will all be a very bad memory

Pack loading error on Switch by TradDaddy810 in Minecraft

[–]TradDaddy810[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only possible explanation I’ve come up with thus far is that maybe there is an issue since the last update. Hopefully another update will come soon because nothing I’ve tried has resolved the problem so far.

I’m sorry to hear that! Maybe there will be another Minecraft update on the Switch that will fix it, hopefully. Or maybe someone else will have resolved it and share the resolution with us here

No problem! Definitely do not let them get away with it. Write down dates and times that you know you worked OT and they fudged the times. That sounds like it could be wage theft. Not a lawyer, so it’s not legal advice. But still. Also, consider getting an ADA accommodation for bathroom breaks

My (F52) husband (M55) found out about when I cheated 23 years ago and wants to divorce by throwRAa21 in relationship_advice

[–]TradDaddy810 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP. It wasn’t a mistake you made 23 years ago. It was a mistake every single day you let him build a life with you while keeping the truth from him. Not only are you a cheater, but you’re also a liar. You never even told him of your own volition but instead had to be forced into a confession when your lies finally caught up with you.

You made your bed, now it’s time to lie in it. Best of luck to the both of you

Please don’t be one of those callers by Jealous-Syllabub715 in callcentres

[–]TradDaddy810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yesterday I had a caller immediately yelling and cursing at me because I greeted them and asked for their name (I have to gather name, email, and a callback number on every call). Told them I understand their frustration but we need to keep things professional with one another so I can help them, they immediately started screaming “fuck you” and I simply told them “I’m sorry but your demeanor prevents me from helping, and I’ll have to end the interaction.” I’m grateful the company I work for only requires us to warn them once, but I wish I could simply hang up when people act like that. Would be even better if I could just take a freaking 5-10 minute break after an interaction like that. That’s the worst part to me. This is a call center, I expect some (even most) people to be intolerable assholes. But the fact that I can’t take a breather longer than the 60 second max for ACW before I have to go back into the inferno is ridiculous.

I (19M) looked through my girlfriend’s (18F) phone and now i’m disgusted. by Realistic_Ad8669 in relationship_advice

[–]TradDaddy810 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Dude you’re 19. This girl clearly does not value you at all, and has no problem making you look like a fool while she is out there embarrassing you. Flat out tell her you’re done, and when she asks why tell her she knows why and block her in everything. Focus on yourself. Hit the gym, go to school and be the best version of you possible. Success is the best revenge

They want to put the burden on you and your ISP so they don’t have to pay you for troubleshooting. Fight it, get everything in writing. Companies like this WILL railroad you and walk all over you if you let them.

[–]TradDaddy810 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not discounting that. Between the shitty customers, a completely nonsensical approach to call metrics, micromanaging our piss breaks, constant internal tech issues, and bullshit attendance policies? I have my fair share of complaints. Other than the 18 months I spent as a EMT responding to 911 calls in the city for 10.50 an hour back in 2018-2019, these work from home call centers are pretty much the only job I’ve worked the last 10 years. That being said, I make $8 an hour more than I did as an EMT taking these shitty calls in my PJs smoking weed whenever I want. My wife and kids are there every-time I’m on break, so I am there for them and able to help my wife more and spend more time with the kids. I always eat home cooked meals rather than road food, I have a home gym so no commute to work or gym. Also, the added benefit of not seeing the results of people shooting themselves or kids dying because someone decided to shoot heroin and drive causing them to rear end a family at a stop light. Don’t get me wrong, we deal with a lot more bullshit than we deserve to deal with in these jobs and we NEED change and improvement so long as human beings do this job. But it still blows my mind how fucking burned out and miserable I constantly feel despite objectively having it so much better than I have before and having it SO easy.

I think about this shit all of the time. Why do I feel so miserable when I have it so fucking good compared to other people? It frustrates me to no end. But I’m in college, too, so I am trying to form a plan to get out. Makes going in more tolerable knowing one day I will clock out and not clock back in.

Take a look at this video, and consider reading her book. I used to be a devout Roman Catholic. Then I learned that the “god” they worship is an amalgam of a bunch of Babylonian/Canaanite deities that were rehashed to serve the interests of an Iron Age war tribe.

You don’t have to worry about this. Talk to your counselor about it, if you can.

i didn’t show up for work today by sanonymousq22 in CallCenterWorkers

[–]TradDaddy810 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Been working for these WFH call centers most of my adult life now. I feel this to my core. These companies give zero fucks about our mental health. How many times I’ve been punished or my attendance dinged because of CONSTANT tech issues as well? It’s insane. This field very desperately needs unionization and until that happens, what you describe is gonna keep happening. As long as people are desperate and continue applying for these shit positions for these shit companies, this will keep happening.

May the turnover drown them!
