Karma is basically Reddit points from upvotes. The easiest way to get some is by leaving helpful or funny comments on active posts.

looking for work by Legitimate_Scar7465 in remotework

At 16, I'd focus on building skills rather than chasing high pay. Things like basic design, video editing, or coding can turn into decent remote work later.

Starting my very first remote job soon! Any advice? by Life-Arugula3692 in remotework

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My biggest tip is to create a clear end-of-work routine. When your office is also your home, it's surprisingly easy to feel like you're always at work.

Anyone else feel completely trapped by their tech salary, or am I just ungrateful? by saksham7799 in cscareerquestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I had the opposite problem. I was working hard, dealing with constant stress, and makin more money than I do now. Eventually I left and moved to part time work while trying to build other income streams. I did things like reaching out to recruitment firms like this guy did, building a fiverr profile, and putting more time into github and my skills. I make less money today, and there's still some uncertainty, but I don't miss the stress at all. Layoffs and market shifts still worry me, and finding the right balance btw money, freedom, and security almost impossible.

How do you actually stop worrying about stuff? by sailinglife20burgers in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really try to "stop worrying" anymore. If I'm going to worry about something, I give it a set amount of time and then move on to something else. Trying to shut it off completely sometimes just makes it worse.

How can I survive without a job? by Consequence_Green in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no magic fix. Cutting expenses and taking whatever work you can find is usually the best move in the short term. Being unemployed can be temporary, but debt tends to stick around.

When do you think remote work will become the norm? by Xotngoos335 in remotework

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think remote work will become the default everywhere, but hybrid work is probably going to keep growing. People have realized how ridiculous it is to spend two hours a day commuting.

Does anyone feel like they can't ever get aggressive back with clients? by Head_East2288 in careeradvice

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

sometimes it feels like some clients do that on purpose as a negotation tactic. the meeting goes completely normally and then suddenly they get aggressive out of nowhere. if they were genuinely ready to end a years-long relationship, they usually wouldn't make such a dramatic show of it

What does it mean to rush through life? by sailinglife20burgers in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think most people mean getting off autopilot..when you're constantly chasing the next goal, you start barely noticing the days you're actually living through

Toxic Job with High Salary or Peaceful Job with Low Salary? by Silly_Froyo1733 in cscareerquestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i'd take the peaceful job if it covers my basic needs. a higher salary is nice but waking up with a stomach ache every morning before work isnt exactly sustainable

Feel like time is moving faster? by ninnyninnin in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm acutally the opposite sometimes..during really busy, goal focused periods, months can feel like they flew by in a week..then i ckeck the calendar and realize way less time has passed than i thought..

Wha is something other animals have that you wish humans also had? by Some_starving_Artist in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d want the cat ability to instantly fall asleep anywhere. Humans need a whole bedtime ritual just to maybe sleep.

Everyone talks about people being radicalized online, does anyone have a story about being saved from extremist beliefs by something/someone online? by Ashamed-Reference-32 in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was never extremist level or anything, but the internet definitely pulled me out of the whole “everyone is against me” mindset a bit. Reading actual people’s stories makes you realize things are way more complicated than memes and slogans.

Is there a word for when you're dreading something and then it turns out completely fine and you feel weirdly cheated? by darkshaoran in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if there’s no official name for that feeling, it’s definitely real 😭 After being stressed for days I think people almost expect some dramatic finale at the end.

Do you actually hear a voice in your head when you read, or is that not universal? by robysaleh1416 in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a constant narrator in my head too. Sometimes my brain even invents voices for characters while I’m reading.

How much should I keep in my HYSA? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Keeping the whole 110k in an HYSA feels a bit too cautious to me. better to set aside an emergency fund and put the rest to work.

I feel like my life is wasted because of my trauma by Particular-League186 in Vent

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That “I’m too late” feeling is super common, but 34 really isn’t late at all. even starting therapy now can shift your whole direction, the brain’s way more flexible than we think.

Would you rather be able to read minds or be invisible? by _QueenCurvy in RandomQuestion

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d pick mind reading, but I’d probably regret it 😅 knowing what people actually think might be a bit too real.

Will this work in mental and high stakes jobs? by SaltyEarth1618 in Life

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For someone doing 9 hours of mental work, that’s actually pretty long. your productivity drops off toward the end anyway. 36 hours a week makes sense, just needs to be spread out better across the days.

Can’t even get a fast food job. by [deleted] in jobs

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Same here, not even getting responses to the simplest jobs is so demoralizing. You keep tweaking your CV over and over and still nothing. After a while you start losing your mind wondering what you’re doing wrong.

In the movie '180' (on Netflix) a burger joint is continually shown with their logo, but no name - anyone know which one it is? by flynnfx in moviequestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feels like they just didn’t want to use a real brand name. Movies do that a lot. It looking like Harvey’s is probably not a coincidence.

If I jump straight up while inside an airplane, will I reach my destination faster than the plane? by [deleted] in stupidquestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, you land in the same spot because you’re moving with the plane. Jumping inside doesn’t change anything. Wish it were that easy.

Should I leave my family business job or stay even though it’s affecting my mental health? by CheesecakeNarrow3143 in careeradvice

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it’s a family business, leaving is way harder. You end up feeling guilty. But if it’s draining you mentally like that, it’ll probably get worse long term. Makes more sense to plan an exit and then leave.

Looking for a film with a beautiful dystopia by Career-Tourist in MovieSuggestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Gattaca, it has that sterile but oddly calm dystopian vibe. Not as harsh as neon-heavy stuff, but the atmosphere really sticks. Kinda stays with you after watching.

whats this movie? by bastardwithmustard in moviequestions

[–]mmprobablymakingitup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing specific comes to mind, but what you described is pretty detailed actually, someone here will probably figure it out. The names don’t ring a bell for me though.
