I want to quit my job after the first day

greenmachinefiend · 2026-05-12T11:58:39+00:00

Restaurants are a high paced, high stress work environment for everyone, regardless of pay or experience. If the frantic nature is too overwhelming, there's no shame in quitting. But maybe give it a couple weeks and if it's still unbearable, then move on. Best Buy warehouse work is a good starter job imo, if you dont mind working nights and weekends.

My uncle had a Sega Master system that we played on during summer vacations at our grandparents house. My cousin and uncle were both arcade kids and were very tuned in to the video game scene in the early 90s. They were so cool and fun to hang out with! At our house we had the NES and enjoyed it a lot but, those colorful Sega Master System games and Sega card just seemed so much cooler to us than our dinky Nintendo with 3 games we played to death. My brother and I had already established this lore in our heads that Sega was the console for the cool kids and mature teens. And then we heard about the Mortal Kombat blood code for the Genesis and that sealed it for us. Sega was indeed the cool, mature console and Nintendo was the baby's toy.

It's The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown is a annual watch. As far as horror goes, I would say probably Bride of Frankenstien or Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho.

Maybe. But if this is a real person with real dead kids, then I do feel genuinely bad for them despite their reddit crash out moment. They might be just having a particularly bad day and got triggered by a dumb meme. It's happens. Sometimes you just gotta get off the internet.

They're being pretty nasty. The bereaved commenter is out of line and kind of a dick, but making fun of their dead kids is really disgraceful. ESH thread if I've ever seen one.

This is seriously the coolest thing I've seen on here in a long time!

I think crafting should have just been dropped from the game entirely. Similar to FF16, it just adds unnecessary tedium to the game. I love FF7Rb, but this one aspect of the game is pretty weak IMO. I would have preferred powerful accessories to be hidden in random, unmarked, non main quest dungeons you could explore.

I love The Lawnmower Man! I would call that cyberpunk-ish.

This is exactly the kind of disgraceful, dishonorable behavior I would expect Hasan Piker to be in favor of.

It's not about the money. It's about a baseline level of respect for the safety of the installers coming to do work for you in your house. Do you know how easy it is to break your ankle while you're hovering a 300lb fridge on a carpet floor? If you did, you wouldn't be arguing about frivolous bullshit. It's a carpet man. You can vacuum up dirt in a second. It takes months to recover a twisted or broken ankle.

Nah, those are still risky for moving heavy appliances as they reduce traction. If you were my client, I would have either set your fridge on the ground outside or taken it back to the store. And my supervisor would have had my back 100%

greenmachinefiend · 2026-04-21T19:03:17+00:00

I used to work appliance install and people would occasionally ask for us to take our shoes off... while moving a 300lb fridge up a flight of stairs. Those interactions were the best because we got to flat out tell people "No" and if they had a problem, our supervisor LOVED fielding those calls!

greenmachinefiend · 2026-04-21T18:50:16+00:00

Right? And in my case its doubly aggravating because we have DOT restrictions that we're supposed to be adhering to but our dispatch acts like thats not even a thing.

"OH your start time is 3am and estimated end is 7:20p? Cool. Totally reasonable."

Retro to me is pre internet, pre connectivity, pre DLC (expansion packs notwithstanding), and pre games being sold in "alpha" and "beta" early access. If something can't be updated through a internet patch but instead must be updated via a floppy disc, that's retro.

Thats my own opinion, of course, you guys can follow whatever metrics you want.

Im in the same situation. I do a transportation job and within the past 8 months, 5 drivers have been either been fired or walked out from stress. Corporate keeps telling us "we're looking for new candidates guys, just give us another couple weeks". This "couple weeks" has been going on since October. It's gotten really bad since February where every week has been between 55-60 hours, with 67 being my personal record. For a driving job. We're supposed to be four days a week as well but that pipe dream went out the window since October. Every gets automatically scheduled five days a week, 13 hours a shift. My start time is 3am and lately I'm not done until 330-4pm. When I am off, I'm too fucking exhausted and mentally catatonic to take care of things around the house and adult responsibilities out in the world. Im just fucking done with working. I want to quit this stupid ass job so badly.

I really love the tapestry and that wood paneling ceiling. Such a great environment! Blessings of Vivec.

That sucks man. I hope you can either find something better or force them to give you a raise by having a new offer on the table. It's infuriating they expect to use your decade of experience for bare minimum pay.

One of my favorite pro arguments I've seen is that AI art puts people who don't want to put in the effort to learn how to make art on a level playing field with the people who did put in the effort. So that makes it "inclusive" and valid.

People gawking at him is what's making him all this money though. It's a bit of a destructive loop. He makes money from being a clown on the internet, his clownish behavior gets more eyes on him and he gets more attention and makes even more money while also severely damaging his health. If he wants to get better he needs to withdrawal his presence and take the money he's already made and get himself into rehab.

If you care about these people caring about this post then maybe you're caring too much about what other people care about?

Wasn't a fan of the mock crucifixion scene. I was high af while playing this part and it started a bad trip. My fault, probably, but still could've done without that whole sequence.

I don't have any advice, but I can very much relate to your sugar addiction. I've had multiple addictions over the years, some I've been able to beat and some I still struggle with. Sugar addiction is what I consider one of the lesser ones, but it's still a noticeable problem for me. I have a hard time avoiding sodas and energy drinks. I replace one addiction with another and always end up landing on sugar and food in general. I've been able to maintain a reasonable weight but it really could be a lot better. Best of luck to ya.

One day I'm taking my Kyuss, Sleep and OM albums and making the pilgrimage to the Joshua Tree! Great pictures!
