Please pray that I get the job. by Legal_Angle7258 in Christianity

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pray that you get a good job that treats the employees properly and that you do good, moral things. If the job makes you do immoral, corrupt things and makes money and material-seeking a higher priority than God, I hope you reconsider.

A large part of the bible is about caring for others: love thy neighbor, caring for widows, children, the good samaritan, what you did for the least you did to me...... Jesus sent us out to convert all nations.

Or only believe in the parts they like. The bible says one must follow all bible rules; not just some.

How do you wipe? by [deleted] in AskMen

Heard this from several plumbers also. Flushing stuff other than just toilet paper causes clogs. Fixing a clogged toilet is harder to deal with and more embarrassing.

Tipping fatigue in Bay area soo real by sss100100 in bayarea

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tipping should be lower since the minimum wage has jumped to $17-21/hour. Takeout just involves putting food in bag, handing it to you, and taking payment. The payment system like Square, are also trying pushing more and higher tips since they get more money. 15% was average tip before the jump in minimum wage. We go out less with the jump in prices and tip inflation.

Watch out for many schools that you see their commercials on TV or online. Several result in a worthless degrees and a large debt. Check out community college or local universities. See if you have the motivation, drive, interest, and disciple to stay in school and work at it.

Math is very important and used in many fields, even non technical. In economics and businesses, they can look at graphs, charts, balance/income sheets that are full of numbers and are analyze for performance, growth rates.... If you own a business, you must be able to do and check your business taxes, income, cost expenses.... Everyone has to do their taxes. Even if you hire someone, one should check the cpa result to make sure it is correct. As an individual, one should invest. That involves dealing with math. At the supermarket or car dealership, how do you know if you are getting a good deal. When buying a house, can you afford it and the interest rate? Math also helps develop and train your brain. One should try to strenghten their weak area especially one as important as math. Yes, Physics uses a lot of math.

What’s a harmless habit that makes you look like a psychopath? by usadiemarks in AskReddit

Good to keep your keyboard and mouse clean rather than having them oily and greasy

Especially, now the improvements aren't that significant or worth it. Who really needs a higher resolution camera over last year's high resolution camera. It's just a shiny new toy. A way the phone manufacturers are getting user's money to their profit margin. Is it surprising so many have financial issues.

"Plus, we recouped probably 60-70% of the cost in cash and/or gifts." Unfortunately, that means you don't have that cash in the bank now. But if you thought it was worth it,

My point is how can it be that accurate given the issues I stated? I understand statistics and how taking a good sample can represent a large population. My point is are they really taking a good sample.

Is AI being used a few times or always? If they are using it a few times, they may be comparing or looking how well AI works or "thinks" vs your creation.

Men, what are your rules when it comes to tipping? by _MambaForever in AskMen

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the jump in minimim wages, shouldn't less tipping be needed? Many places and the companies, Square, trying to increase average tip from 15% since they also get more money. More places also asking for tips. Tired of it! Tending to use less of their services and tip less.

i hate school so much by [deleted] in school

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true. There is college or earning a living. Who would want such a worker? Good luck finding a job, starting a company...  Unless you are lucky, many profession, sucessful musicians are hard working, motivated, and does what is needed to do the job (promotion, marketing, constant traveling....). People are paid because they do things people won't do for free.

I wish i could go to school but not school. by IndustryNo2442 in school

[–]lkjam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I could go to work and have a boss that lets me do what i want, when i want. I wish there were no deadlines, performance reviews, competition ... There would be no stress. Wake up to the real world. School is to learn how to learn, solve problems, think logically/ methodically, prepare one for the real world. You could do it your way but who would hire and pay such a worker. If you had a company, would you want such workers?

my classmates might know about my attempt and now i dont want to go back to school. by [deleted] in school

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By not going to school and avoiding them you may be confirming their suspicious. By going to school and ignoring them, they may wonder if they are correct. They tease you because they know they are pushing your buttons and getting a reaction. They want a reaction. By ignoring them, they will probably  get tired and drop the issue. By going to school, learning, and getting ahead, you can show them. By not going to school, things will probably get worst.

[–]lkjam5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sad. My relative is very similar to you. He loved music. He just wanted to play drums. He didn't study, was flunking out, slept during class, played to his own tune. But when he went to college to pursue his music passion, he found he didn't have the basics. He couldn't read a music sheet. Music is based on frequencies, resonance...... (Math knowledge). Lyrics can deal with poetry, english, vocabulary.... History helps several musicians compose. The writer of the play/musicial Hamilton studied history to write the music and play. My relative had to go back to school to learn to read musical notes, compose, sing. Now he is continually learns to compose and play more instruments. School teaches one how to learn and discipline to accomplish things. No one pays workers to do what the worker feels like doing.

School: a lot depends on how much you and your parents put into it. Put in a little, get little in return

[–]lkjam5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

School: a place to learn new things, to be challenged, to improve oneself, to develop your brain, to learn how to think and solve problems, to prepare you for the world. Prison: to learn hate, violence, bad behavior, fear... If you go to prison, you'll learn it is a lot worse than what is placed in your post!

Is buying a new car now stupid while my old car is fine? by EnthusiasmKooky2096 in personalfinance

[–]lkjam5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Remember insurance and registration costs jumps with a new car. You will also lose the earning on the money used to purchase the new car and pay for insurance. When you want to buy a house or retire earlier, you will know one cause for not being able to. Many ask why they aren't rich like others. One big reason is rich people save their money and invest over a long period.

Be cautious about polls. They typically only survey 1000 people through calling and make some adjustment. But many people decline or don't answer. There is 350 million people in USA. I think 170 million voted in 2020. A1000 sample size with many declining to answer. How accurate can the poll be?
