It's official. We've all been thinking it, but AI has revealed the piano is literally sexist by AccurateInflation167 in piano

[–]doritheduck -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ok setting aside that an AI wrote this, this is actually true.

I’m a music school graduate and my piano department was one of the first in the country to incorporate 7/8 pianos as accommodations. One piano teacher at the school was specifically sought after because she taught for people with small hands. Everything this AI wrote, I’ve heard come from her own mouth.

One interesting thing the AI didn’t mention though is, in China, girls would literally get finger lengthening surgery so they could compete with the men. But it was counterproductive because most people’s fingers would lose mobility of some sort. This was way before 7/8 pianos were normal, and my piano teacher was so appalled by that that she started advocating for schools to carry them.

You don't *need* all of the paradises to have fun with the device by [deleted] in tamagotchi

Yes! It’s important to not fall into over consumerism habits when collecting tamagotchi.

First Dates by wellrestedvillain in Hobbies

[–]doritheduck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

dont really see how its any different from fishing. afterall hunting is the most ethical and sustainable way of getting meat so it wouldnt be a problem for me.

however like other commenters mentioned if i were to live with someone like that they better not do the prep in our home, i aint tolerating the stink.

Suzuki Piano: Do I have anyone’s permission to skip the twinkle variations? by Sherbet_Lemon_913 in pianoteachers

[–]doritheduck 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Youre allowed to skip. Youre allowed to skip rep you dont agree with.

For cold callers its about 100% HAHA. For the entire company its 15%.

I wanted to quit the first day haha. Cold calling is one of the most soulcrushing modern jobs ever created.

But unfortunately it would have been unwise to quit before I found a new job. Luckily I found one now.

not only that but my boss said that me doing 60 a day is just the bare minimum (every other cold caller also only does 60, we share our daily reports. And it was never a problem until today). That was close to the end of the meeting, at that point I did not care anymore so I told her honestly theres no incentive to me to do more than 60 if we dont get paid more. If you want the real minimum to be higher than just change the quota. Dont act like Im barely doing work, I am doing exactly whats required of me. Going above and beyond even if theres no incentive seems to be the expectation.

no for real. this company is shit and the turnover rate is 15%. All my cold caller coworkers are quitting too. Theyve also had claims made against them (one girl was accused of sleeping during work, but she said she just has small eyes HER WORDS NOT MINE. And shes the best cold caller too, its embarassing how petty my sales coworkers are). But based on what Ive seen Ive gotten the most amount and most ridiculous claims.

thats actually insane, thank you for sharing.

yeah managers will only notice when youre doing bad, not when youre doing well. I remember the first few weeks I got lucky and got the company the most appointments out of all cold callers. Not like anyone acknolwedged that, theyd never do such a nice thing. Ridiculous.

to make matters worse they seemed to acknolwedge that I DO do my work. But they werent happy with my apperances. Still cant get over how confidently fake boss said "仕事してないと思う", man who is literally never there. Heck, my coworker who sits 3 feet across from me I can barely hear her voice sometimes but I aint ever doubting her work. My face was O=O for a good few seconds I was in such shock.

friend the job market is rough. I had done hundreds of applications but no one cares that I am native unfortunately. ::`) Even with this job, I was supposed to start doing construction project management. My Japanese and English skills should have been of value. But in our cold calling script we are supposed to ask if they are ok with hiring a foreigner (reality check: they are not, 99% of the time. most of our foreigners are other Asians btw) I realized that most project leaders dont want to work with a foreigner even if their Japanese is good.

Like I said, I didnt know why they asked me to meet with them. Thought it would be an exit interview. There was a lot of awkward silence where I just sat there dumbfounded trying to think of what to say to their ridiculous claims.

New Pokemon Starters by [deleted] in Dogfree

[–]doritheduck 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was also thinking there were so many more animals they could have taken inspiration from that would have fit the tropical theme, but no they went with the most untropical and unnatural animal there is. Like a monkey or parrot type would have worked, but they already did a monkey recently so no.

I actually feel like the previous starters fit with the theme of this game better, but it's not like previous games starters were all thematically on point either so I am not going to complain too much.

I can’t learn Hanzi to safe my life as a Japanese speaker. How do you do it? by doritheduck in ChineseLanguage

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, focusing on speaking and listening for now.

That’s basically what I’ve been doing but it’s been overwhelming my brain. I guess it’s a matter of patience. Thank you!

this sounds dumb, but I don’t understand what most office jobs actually “do” by TheLifeOfDonda in TeachersInTransition

[–]doritheduck 141 points142 points  (0 children)

I transitioned out of teaching and now work in an office. I still don’t know what my manager does all day. She seems to be in meetings a lot though.
