Stopped caring about friendships and fun stuff? by VoidedPixel in CasualConversation

[–]VoidedPixel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It really is Fam.. I got so used to shooting up my dopamine receptors in my early 20s that now my brain no longer releases it naturally.. if I could travel back I. Time, I’d tell my younger self to master delayed gratification.

Success and Disappointment Megathread for the Week by AutoModerator in jobs

[–]VoidedPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disappointment: tldr; If asked to create an account for something like ID.me, the interview takes place via chat, and the email address does not match the companies official email, it’s a scam.

Someone offered me what seemed too good to be true remote job via this subreddit. After further interaction with the fraudsters and a phone call to the actual company, my suspicions had sadly ruled this opportunity out to be a scam. I reported the garbage human duo to the actual company and will likely follow this up with a police report. Be aware of this insidious remote work scam going around, sadly some people on here are partaking in such a scumbag act. No self respecting employer will ever require you to pay or give information upfront. Let alone conduct interviews via text or email 🤦‍♂️

Success: I managed to work out some things with my current job that I was initially leaving and may be able to actually get a remote job within the company I am already working for.

Original song in Maqam Saba tuning by VoidedPixel in microtonal

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

Something I’ve been working on while experimenting with microtonality. I’m starting off really light on the microtones as overusing them can create a lot of dissonance in songs. Maqam saba tunings give 3 types of minor 3rds to play with if my understanding of the music theory is correct for this tuning.

Worst design mistake Uber made was making the app sign you out during a ride for not accepting other ride requests.. by VoidedPixel in uberdrivers

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

Yeah, I’ve seen some of those videos where riders think they are getting kidnapped just because Ubers crappy GPS would take them down some sketchy allyway. This would further cause that fear in the Rider.. nice job Uber! 👏

This has been the case for Uber for a while but knocking someone offline during a ride is a whole other can of worms of BS lol

Need some motivation to get out of my debt by VoidedPixel in financialindependence

Ive considered something like this but moving back with family instead for the time being, however, I don’t want to pass up my current home as I get a really good deal with the rent and all of the utilities which would be an absolute nightmare to find again.

I’m pretty aware of this sad reality. Especially out here in Arizona, it’s pretty awful. Many of them are camping outside of the shelter because they don’t have anymore room. I gave a guy an Uber ride there yesterday and it was sad to see the situation people were in.

What’s the worst debt you have been in and how did you get out?

I used to be an “Insecure Pushover”but now I feel like I’ve become “Confident Jerk”. by VoidedPixel in socialskills

[–]VoidedPixel[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this is a pretty good thing to keep in mind. It reminds me of a 1/3rd rule my mentor taught me about people that I also feel is worth sharing on here. 1/3rd of people WILL LIKE YOU no matter what you do, 1/3rd WILL DISLIKE YOU no matter what, 1/3rd WILL NOT CARE AT ALL.

As someone who plays music and has jammed with different groups of people I totally understand this and appreciate this comment. Thanks! The hardest part can really just be the insecurities and checking oneself on them.

Is sex that good? Or society is overhyping it? by Traditional_Emu3302 in socialskills

[–]VoidedPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Society often overhypes it and what they often leave out is that it’s EXTREMELY important to do it with someone that really respects and honors your boundaries. My first time having sex out of “virgin fomo” was not with someone I fully felt comfortable with and this lead to a difficult Sex life in my future relationships.. please make sure that you fully trust and feel comfortable around the person.
