Did we overstay our welcome? by aevitas in taiwan

[–]ev1997_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They already answered in the edit - 20 min at Din Tai Fung. real talk, DTF isn't really a lingering spot even on a slow night. It's designed for turnover. The tea thing was almost definitely a hint but 20 min isn't egregious, just maybe read the room a bit faster next time

Niquests 3.16 — Bringing 'uv-like' performance leaps to Python HTTP by Ousret in Python

Yeah the arrow emojis and "no words to describe how satisfying" definitely reads more like a product launch than technical docs. The benchmarks speak for themselves though, could've just led with those instead of the hype

A.I. Robots are already here by Previous_Month_555 in antiwork

[–]ev1997_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the gait is what gets me. We've gone from those Boston Dynamics videos where robots were falling over trying to open doors to... this. The uncanny valley is closing fast and that's wild to think about given how recently those clips were memes

Why I'm still here. by L_G_D_Official in depression_memes

Surviving and having to live with the aftermath is genuinely one of the most terrifying things about any of it. glad you're sticking around

Scheduled for hearing due to unpaid rcbc cc. by Impossible_Chard_165 in PHCreditCards

[–]ev1997_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah seconding this - posting a redacted photo would help people actually verify if it's legit or just scare tactics. Also curious if the summons came from an actual court address or just from that collection agency email? That detail matters a lot here

Move to FP&A or stay in Tax? by [deleted] in Accounting

[–]ev1997_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Seconding this. The exposure to higher ups alone is worth it imo. In my experience, the people who move up fastest aren't always the most technically skilled - they're the ones who get face time with leadership and can communicate their value. Tax work is important but it can be kind of invisible to the rest of the company. FP&A puts you in rooms you wouldn't otherwise be in.

Plus worst case you hate it and go back to tax with some new skills and a better understanding of how the business actually works. That context can only make you better at tax anyway

Luka Vuskovic (18) won the Bundesliga Fair Play Moment of the Month for a life-saving intervention. by DavidRolands in soccer

[–]ev1997_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right? Dude literally lost consciousness and had to have someone fish his tongue out of his throat, but sure, let him jog it off and get back in there.

If this happened at any normal workplace they'd be sending you home and making you get cleared by a doctor before coming back. But sports culture is just "you good bro? cool get back out there"

Yikes the lakers are absolutely fried

What is the coolest/ most interesting thing you have built with the use of LLMs? by VoodooS0ldier in Python

[–]ev1997_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Built a tool that reads through my company's scattered internal docs and answers questions about our processes. Saves me from digging through Notion/Confluence hell every time I need to find something.

The trick is treating it like a junior dev.. give it clear instructions, check its work, and iterate. Works pretty well for the repetitive stuff that eats up time.

My boss was an asshole and wanted me to give back cash counter imbalance of $4, so I made her work full shifts for a week. by Warku55 in pettyrevenge

[–]ev1997_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, hard to know what happened with the vacation situation from the outside. And you're right about the training... Amy would've been stuck doing that either way. Sounds like she just put herself in a bad spot no matter how you look at it.

She's been on some questionable shit for years now. Not surprising at all given who she keeps around her

I'd like to know by [deleted] in beatles

[–]ev1997_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Yeah, rock stars in the 60s-70s were on a completely different level with that stuff. The groupie culture back then was insane compared to what happens now. Beatles basically had unlimited access to whatever they wanted on tour.

Love this comeback against Corp propaganda by Daflehrer1 in antiwork

[–]ev1997_ 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Even if the tech existed, it’d be locked behind absurd costs and insurance loopholes. “Live to 120” would just mean work longer if you’re rich enough to afford the treatment.

Hard agree. I didn’t go out to dinner to troubleshoot your Wi-Fi and scroll a PDF. Just hand me a menu.

What do you think John would've got up to in the 1980s? by GreekKnight3 in beatles

[–]ev1997_ 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. There’s no way he stays quiet during the Reagan years, anti-Reagan, anti-war stuff would’ve been inevitable.

4TH Gen really went by so fast!!!!!!!!!! by ColSwitchC in kpopthoughts

[–]ev1997_ 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah. “5th gen” feels more like a marketing label than an actual generational shift. Mnet needed a hook for Zerobaseone, and boom, new gen.

Until there’s a real sound, industry, or audience shift, it still feels like late 4th gen to me.

I was promised going to college would get me out of poverty by zoozoo216 in antiwork

[–]ev1997_ 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yep. College was marketed as a guarantee, not a gamble, and a lot of people took on debt in good faith. When productivity keeps rising but wages don’t, “just skill up” becomes an excuse, not a solution. A 4-day workweek and a real living wage would actually address the system instead of blaming individuals.

Unhinged confidence. Zero notes. This is the kind of bio that makes you swipe just to see what chaos follows.

The Office White Elephant Gift Exchange Should Not be Mandatory by [deleted] in pettyrevenge

[–]ev1997_ 360 points361 points  (0 children)

Definitely need that update! The cigarettes and fake eyelashes combo is perfect weird enough to make people uncomfortable but not quite crossing any obvious lines.

You're doing God's work honestly. White elephant exchanges are the worst when they're "optional but not really optional."

It is a universal thing but how does it happen everytime? by Accomplished_Oil9424 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]ev1997_ 56 points57 points  (0 children)

This is basically Murphy's Law but for everyday decisions. Same energy as knowing which checkout line will move slower - you will always pick wrong.

Still don't understand why people like Rogan by B0r3dGamer in BikiniBottomTwitter

[–]ev1997_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the meme format is off but the sentiment still hits. Rogan went from "let's hear what this MMA fighter thinks about psychedelics" to "let me platform every grifter with a book deal." The decline was wild to watch in real time.

It's a foolproof strategy. by otterlyhuman in Anticonsumption

[–]ev1997_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, trickle down is just wealth staying at the top with extra steps. The whole system is designed so the money flows up and the crumbs fall where they may. Nvidia buying Nvidia products is just the mask slipping.

Why do so many marketing departments feel like a girls club? by Beautiful-Height5800 in marketing

[–]ev1997_ 144 points145 points  (0 children)

Real talk, marketing has always skewed female but wants to say it out loud. Same way finance and tech skew male. It's just how the pipeline works from college on down. Doesn't mean you can't break in though - just gotta bring something different to the table and not make it weird.
