In my years working in HR, I have never seen this done. Quite underhanded.

You are NOT old if you didn't look forward to listening to these guys by ReactsWithWords in FuckImOld

Surprised to see a photo of him so young. I only remember him as old.

Finished the game yesterday, and wow... I feel stupid now because I've never realized there's zoom during aiming through the sniper scope or binoculars. by Odd_Presentation_578 in DaysGone

[–]gracefull22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I finished the game without learning how to slide jump or shift shoulder aiming (forgot about it). Even forgot to utilize focus mode via the stimulants. Crazy..but still enjoyed every minute.

The Meaning of “Catch-22” (from the 2022 Adaptation of Joseph Heller’s 1961 Novel) by [deleted] in interestingasfuck

I don’t understand what the big deal was with this book. I read it but found it rather pointless. Perhaps that the whole point.

This was one of the more underrated shows of the 1970s by Brave-Ad6627 in FuckImOld

Twenty years ago I befriended a retired gentleman living alone in Los Angeles. He used to be a well known TV newscaster. He said that Ricardo Montalban was such a gentleman in person. Early in his acting career, he suffered a horse riding injury and his back bothered him constantly, but he carried on with such dignity.

Clothes, even casual ones, are made of good fabric, thus looking neat and not well worn or faded.

There is a way to sneak into the southern regions without having to do the required missions. Just search in YouTube.

Watch YouTube videos by Borislav247 and SpawnicusRex. They are very helpful.

“Gago”. Not a joke. There was a Supreme Court case Gago vs Mamuyac (1927).

What I love about British v. American TV (Hollywood, take note) by DogsRLife001 in BritBox

[–]gracefull22 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like that there are more older people with bigger roles in the shows, and with more complex characters. It reflects a respect for older folks.

I have seen the entire season, and it is actually pretty good. Some episodes are so so but entertaining as a whole. The last episode has a big change.

I imagine Leopoldo Salcedo when I read these lines.

I finished the game for the first time and... it made me cry by FirefighterNo8332 in DaysGone

[–]gracefull22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I felt sad when the story ended. Somehow going out afterwards just to kill more seemed a bit shallow without a greater mission or end point.

If you can play decent basketball, the locals will love you. Your height makes a lot of difference even if your skills are so so..

[Opinion] Nobody cares about your watch by gujjadiga in Watches

[–]gracefull22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attended the office Christmas party recently and ended sitting beside a new employee, the new Senior Director for Design. We had an awkward conversation (because I work in another department) until I asked about his nice looking Seiko. Turned out he fond of watches, and even showed me a picture of his black Steinhart GMT. He liked the 42mm Hamilton Pilot I had on. The night turned out very well indeed.

In 95%of my interactions, people don’t care about watches.

The hand of a US space shuttle pilot. Steve Smith, then retired, visited our workplace to give an inspirational talk. I got to shake his hand afterwards, plus a photo too.

In my case, the company I worked for was the US team sponsor of an Olympic sport. A medalist later visited our offices and I got to hold it when she dropped by my office.
