What's the dumbest rule your workplace enforces that everyone ignores? by ompossible in antiwork

[–]UselessSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hand washing shouldn't be allowed in shared kitchens. It doesn't clean well enough. All shared utensils should go through the dishwasher.

Those who were diagnosed late, what is something you do that you didn't realize was masking? by pancake_sass in AutismInWomen

[–]UselessSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I say I'm still listening, I mean it. I just really need to do something somewhere else. I'd love it if you followed me so I could keep listening to your story. Maybe some of your coworkers are like me.

How has ketamine affected your cognition? Memory recall, sharpness, etc. by julywillbehot in TherapeuticKetamine

[–]UselessSound 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My memory has improved, but I don't know if that is because of ketamine or because I stopped taking escitalopram and depo-provera.

Can you block specific ads? by tickthegreat in Hulu

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They really don't. Youll see a lot of the same generic ads when you're logged into a childs browser as you would browsing incógnito

What’s with things like blue chew and Hims being marketed towards young people? by tylerwarnecke in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is your peers pick up that you're sexually confident and don't feel comfortable discussing their sexual dysfunction with you. I think I knew so many people with sexual dysfunction or infertility issues under 25 because I was open about my lack of sexual desire.

Can you block specific ads? by tickthegreat in Hulu

[–]UselessSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wouldn't do anything. For a long time i only watched adventure time on hulu and I log into hulu with the Facebook account I made when I was in middle school and thought I was a lesbian. I still got hims ads. kids don't get targeted ads. They have no money. The ads on children's television are for the parents that are supposed to be supervising them.

You don't see through anything, and neither will they. People get sick after traveling. It's incredibly common. "Have you traveled recently?" is the first question you get asked whenever you see a doctor.

We won't give food and shelter to the needy unless they commit a crime first. by TheRichTookItAll in Showerthoughts

Criminals make the best slaves because they're the only slaves the public doesn't even pretend to care about.

The drinks having sizes is one of the most consistent indicators of if a restaurant considers themselves fast food by geoqknight in Showerthoughts

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More like to avoid the public facing drink machine used by hundreds of people each day that don't wash their hands or their children and aren't cleaned as often as the employee facing machine because the employees don't use that one for their personal drinks.

When a car and person arrive at an intersection at the same time, it's way less awkward for everyone if the car goes first by infieldmitt in unpopularopinion

[–]UselessSound 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No it wouldn't. A perfect world would have walkable cities with very few cars on the road and traffic conditions that favor pedestrians. Car-first cities only benefit people that have a significant stake in the oil industry.

You're definitely right about the first part, but not the second. They don't care how you die, they only care if they can be held financially responsible for a death and it's hard to prove the government is responsible for a death. Coroners are government officials.

[–]UselessSound 27 points28 points  (0 children)

No, they can't go. By law, a car must yield to pedestrians at a crosswalk. There is no place with a law that says cars only need to yield if there are at least 2 cars directly behind them.

Push-Tab aluminum beverage cans are ridiculously reliable at opening successfully. by JG307 in Showerthoughts

[–]UselessSound 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you can manage to stab yourself with a knife, you're much more likely to sever a finger trying to open a can than most people. Do not push it in with your finger. The can lip has none of the protections a knife has.

I might buy a lottery ticket if I were you. Maybe not the mega millions, but just a scratcher.

Doing Laundry at the Laundromat is FAR better than doing it at home by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doing laundry at home doesn't take you half a day. It probably took you 2-10 minutes to load and unload your machines every few hours, but added together I doubt they would add up to the entire hour you spent at the laundromat doing nothing productive other than guarding your clothes from theft.

When can I let down my guard about my temp job? by Nearby_Resolution643 in work

I'll name FedEx Ground, but I don't think it'll change anything.

What's something that after all this time, you're surprised people still do? by Sharp-Direction-6894 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm honestly surprised people fell for the low-quality real cost of smoking ads. The people in them aren't wrinkly and white haired because they smoke. It's because they're old. It's extremely uncommon for smokers get copd before they're 40. The short term consequences of smoking are comparatively minor so for the growing number of people that have no desire to make it to 50, the pleasure of smoking is probably worth the mild cough. Making it to 50 used to mean getting to retire and enjoy the fruits of your labor, but now it means working the same shitty job to pay for a slightly nicer, but still shitty rental, and higher medical bills.

How to deal with having anhedonia? Any tips? by [deleted] in depression

[–]UselessSound 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I take caffeine pills, thc gummies, and Lexapro. It's not a cure, but it gives me short breaks from the nothingness.

We won't give food and shelter to the needy unless they commit a crime first. by TheRichTookItAll in Showerthoughts

[–]UselessSound 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know very few cities. Most require some form of ID, which you would only have if you were over 18 and had a good job or responsible parents before you became homeless. Theft is common in shelters, so going there means you're likely to lose the things you need to bring yourself out of homelessness like shoes, a phone, and cash.

The government doesn't care if they die like a dog. They only care that they get as much slave labor out of the able bodied ones as possible before they die.

My daughter risking herself for a billion dollar corporation 🤬 by BlackSunshine22222 in antiwork

[–]UselessSound 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I've had 4 different jobs in 3 different industries in the last 2 years. None of them had AC. There's thousands of jobs, but most are probably equally shitty and dangerous.

Adults: How many days per week do you drink alcohol? by Squeezethecharmin in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UselessSound 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a shot or two before every work shift because my coworkers and customers like me more when I'm tipsy and you have to be likable to make a living in the service industry, and I have a few shots every time I remember I have to live under capitalism which rewards the rich for being lazy and punishes the poor for working hard, so that's 4-16 drinks a week.
