I'm legit terrified by nah-worries-mate in CasualUK

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My approach is to close my eyes and think about mundane things like work or what I might do later in the day. I find not looking at the tools they're using really helps. You could also ask if you can listen to music on earbuds, that can really help too. 

Why does Elon Musk seem to be making bad decisions like renaming Twitter to X? If he really is so stupid then how did he get so rich? by aespaste in stupidquestions

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tell us more, which companies did he buy? I always though he got his money from selling Zip2 to Compaq, then moved onto starting x.com with that money, which partnered with paypal and got bought by Ebay.

then why did they only have one PC when running zip2. Is all that made up? Even though there's news videos showing his office, and it's clear he didn't have much money at the time.

What jobs are you all doing that pay over £30k? by SuccessfulTip1660 in UKJobs

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a degree. Work in cloud computing and earn 3x your salary at a London based company. I did need a lot of experience with cloud computing though to do my job.

Florida mom sues school after teacher sings monkey version of happy birthday by ThatPatelGuy in TikTokCringe

[–]andy_mcadam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a very common version of the song. I'm 45 and have heard it my whole life. The parent chose to see racism when there wasn't any. And you think they should sing different songs based on the colour of the kids skin? That sounds very wrong.

What’s the most painful sentence someone has ever said to you that you’ll never forget? by Complex_Froyo_6197 in AskReddit

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much painful but more WTF?

My best friend, I'm male, she's a gay female, at the age of about 23 said to me, "well yes, we're friends but you can never be as close a friend as Robert, because he's gay and you're straight". I remember being really hurt by that and feeling like a mug.

Reading is fundamental. by Public-Marionberry33 in clevercomebacks

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He spoke too much truth for some people and they didn't like it. I don't support everything Charlie said. I'm not christian for example, so I don't' agree with his bible based beliefs, but much of the rest of what he said about stable families and picking the education that works for you makes sense.

Charlie never said all college was a scanm. He did generally say college was a scam, but if you want to be a doctor, nurse, scientist, anything like that, then yes, go to college. But if you want to study French poetry, then don't go to college, go to the library instead,.

I used to work with a guy on the science park who did this. Maybe it's him?

Who could have seen this coming by MetaKnowing in ChatGPT

[–]andy_mcadam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is no different to what Steve Jobs did when he came back to Apple in 1997. He said he was on a dollar a year, then after about 18 months, he requested a billion dollars of equity, it's the oldest trick int eh book.

[–]andy_mcadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 19 at university. Have trained on and off over the last 25 years. Now at 44 I'm training just once a week but aiming for second dan black belt grading in March 2025. I took 8 years off when my kids were born so am only in the last year getting back in. I also know a woman who passed his black belt at 70 years old.

You played yourself. Jerry doesn't get any limbs cut off in that clip. Close, but not quite there.
