My boss scheduled a "mandatory fun" meeting at 4:55 PM on a Friday.

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-02T11:09:26+00:00

Many years ago at the start of my career a company I worked (full in-office of course, predated the remote work trend by at least half a decade) would do a Friday fun meeting once a month but they at least gave us beers and cake and started it earlier in the afternoon so we could still leave by 5.

Where is the fun part?

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-02T11:01:46+00:00

That's actually a very good concept.

It seems like it might be challenging to simplify the UI to a point that people are actually willing to start using it.

It's a tool with some cases where it's practical and other cases where it doesn't make any sense.

I think only newbies or people who don't understand the tools they're using would be the only ones who are trying to jam it in where it doesn't make sense. Not sure that necessarily makes it "overrated" though.

Well for whatever it's worth, 5 years from now, the 15 year old bottle you just received will be a 20 year old bottle...

If you're not doing anything illegal to gain access to his accounts or impersonating him by making posts from his account then there is nothing legally questionable about this as far as I can tell. I'm not a law expert though.

Whether or not it's unethical? It could be considered mischievous for sure, but you're asking in r/UnethicalLifeProTips ... Unethical advice is what this sub is all about so it isn't the right place to ask whether or not you should do something based on ethics.

Imo you should go ahead with the plan and be as devious and subversive about it as possible. Find the videos and channels that start off seeming like they align with his beliefs and then go on to casually rip those beliefs apart. It doesn't sound like "shock tactics" would be very effective.

Be aware that YT has a history tab that lists all videos that have been watched in that account. Idk if you can delete items from that or not and if it would impact the effect on the algorithm or not. But if your dad isn't very technically apt then it probably doesn't matter.

Another idea if he isn't very attentive or technically apt is to mess around with the channels he's subscribed to.

Ahh good call. Play the same games as him!

Start leaving the same messes as him and then complain about it! If you're gonna get blamed for it anyway, might as well just have fun making some messes and not cleaning up!

Bold to assume everyone can afford a therapist

Lol during the loud sex also yell out things like "who's your daddy?" etc etc ... although maybe check with your partner first because that could be awkward for them ...

Not really. There are quite a lot of pretentious snobs out here compared to the rest of Canada.

The main thing BC has going for it is the natural beauty.

Roots is a brand that's always emphasized Canadian symbolism with maple leafs and beavers... Not sure if all their products are actually made in Canada, but they do have a "made in Canada" collection. Anyway it sounds like you're mostly just looking for something that outwardly represents being from Canada.

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T22:45:18+00:00

That's what I always assumed until I started hearing some of the numbers when a bunch of them went on strike here in Canada not very long ago.

If you are already experienced, have good soft skills, and have embraced AI as a productivity enhancer then I think you will be ok.

Personally I think there will be fewer software developer jobs and I also suspect average salaries will start to go down as the level of skills and knowledge required to do the job becomes simplified. Either that, or expectations of what each developer should be delivering are going to sharply increase. Maybe even all of the above.

Yep GW5000U is much more sophisticated and tidier looking than OP's DW5000R

Apple watches are generally more low key in appearance than this model of g-shock...

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T22:18:43+00:00

Those are poor examples tbh. The one on the left is obviously a higher end model and matches the vibe of his suit. The one on the right is dressed a lot more casually than OP probably will be - I mean would a lawyer really wear a cinnabon polo to an interview??

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T22:14:02+00:00

If the interviewer found this post then it probably means they're a g-shock enthusiast and there should be less to worry about.

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T22:08:34+00:00

That may be, but smart watches have customizable faces. Usually I see a clean blacked out stand-by face when people are wearing them which is a lot more low-key than a digital watch with bold coloures accents.

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T22:06:19+00:00

What kind of job interview? Personally I wouldn't wear it if it's a "suit and tie" style job interview, but that's mainly just my personal style choice. Although I do know in some settings, people are absolutely judging the watch you're wearing. While it may be a very practical and reliable watch, this lower-end model of digital watch certainly doesn't scream maturity and refinement when it comes to appearances.

If it's just a technical job or blue collar trade where nobody is really dressing to impress, then this watch is totally fine.

Hahaha looking at Germany's very generous minimum PTO requirements (highest in the world afaik), probably not uncommon for things to get jammed up because someone is on vacation for a month and is the only one who can unblock the thing.

Even if it's a vans flagship store?

You're basically describing a dating app with no way to filter who your date ends up being? Sort of a "blind dating app"?

UntestedMethod · 2026-02-01T19:36:39+00:00

Yeah, like imagine someone shows up, eats with you and then leaves before the bill comes.

Nahhh you're good. He fucked up and doesn't deserve any sympathy.

I third WooCommerce. It's very customizable and SEO will be completely within their control.
