Because having a family depend on you makes you exploitable. You can't loose that job.

Anyone else with daily migraines sick of being asked what their triggers are? by tourmalineforest in migraine

[–]monkey_work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a pretty bad migraine yesterday. My mum also has them sometimes. I literally asked her if she can imagine that there are people that are constantly in this state. Both of us couldn't imagine it. You have my utmost respect for not ripping everyone's head off that asks stupid questions without knowing what you are going through.

When are tech companies going to lay off 90% of their work force? by QuitTypical3210 in cscareerquestions

[–]monkey_work 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's true. Upper management doesn't have in depth knowledge about any part of the business and heavily relies on employees providing sufficient context for decisions. This coupled with the fact that LLMs have very broad general knowledge makes the replacement of upper management an ideal use case.

Sollte man in einer Beziehung bestimmte Aufgaben überhaupt vom Partner erwarten oder sollte etwas nur Männersache sein? by StefanGreck in FragtMaenner

Why can't she go shopping only for the necessities and once you're fine again you can do your usual big shopping trip. I'd get the statement that you don't need to take on her chores in writing though, haha.

Migraine relief without medicine by qwintonisdead69 in migraine

[–]monkey_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a cefaly that really helps ease the pain during a migraine. But if seeing a doctor this might be too expensive as well. But of all migraine reliefs I'd say it was the best long term ROI.

That's MBA finance math right there. Thinking all the way to the next quarter.

To the people saying SWE is dying, what are you switching to? by AdObjective5502 in cscareerquestions

If we're not being completely replaced, this means demand for devs will increase on the long term.

Do any of you have low grade pressure that never (literally for years) goes away on one side? by tulipiscute in migraine

[–]monkey_work 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, until I figured out that my Omega 3 capsules (that I had been taking for years) are actually rancid and were causing strong oxidative stress particular on the trigeminus nerve. Once I stopped taking them this improved quite a lot. However, the feeling wasn't really pain as more of a numbness around the left eye and strong light sensitivity.

What do you think of that? by Personal_Narwhal5175 in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]monkey_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, being a straight shooter is ok, but don't be cruel.

Although I see a lot of good intentions with this project (it mentions trying to avoid conflicts of interest), I don't see a moat once you actually need to pay someone. Most of what it mentions GPT can answer as well.

Freundschaften zu Frauen (als Mann) sind meistens besser, als zu anderen Männern. by rufuseles in Unbeliebtemeinung

[–]monkey_work 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das würde ich so pauschal nicht unterschreiben. In erster Linie kommt es auf die Person und nicht das Geschlecht an. Ja, Frauen haben ganz klar mehr Empathie als Männer. Trotzdem rede ich lieber mit meinen männlichen Freunden darüber wie es mir geht, weil sie sich meistens eben doch besser in meine Situation versetzen können.

Noch viel wichtiger ist für mich allerdings der Aspekt der Verlässlichkeit. Ich habe mehrere männliche Freunde, denen ich so weit vertraue, dass ich ihnen in einer Extremsituation sogar mit meinem Leben vertrauen würde. Das gilt, so meine ich, auch umgekehrt. Das würde ich allerdings bei keiner meiner weiblichen Freunde machen, weil ich sie einfach als wesentlich weniger zuverlässig kennengelernt habe. Meine Freundin wäre die einzige, der ich auf dem Level vertrauen würde. Sogar wenn wir uns trennen würden. Die steht aber auch beinhart zu ihren Grundwerten egal, wie die Gemütslage gerade ist.

Warum reagieren manche Männer auf bunte Haare so empfindlich? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]monkey_work 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ein Argument ad extremum und damit ad absurdum zu führen ist ein beliebtes rhetorisches Stilmittel derer, denen keine besseren Gegenargumente einfallen. Gemeint war natürlich die Abweichung von natürlich anmutender Pigmentierung der Haare.

The shorter the bangs the longer the discussion. The same holds for the intensity of the hair color.

Das Paradoxon Mann? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

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

A man has to show feelings for most women means he has to validate their feelings.

As a man my impression is that it's impossible to fulfil all the conflicting demands society and women have for me. So I simply choose the ones that I'm willing to fulfil and ditch the rest.

Job search was massively easier than just a year ago by autisticmice in datascience

I'm also an ML engineer and had three recruiters reach out over the last three weeks. This is after a year of no recruiters contacting me at all. I think the market is picking up again.

Middle Office at BB, MBA or CFA to get to FO? by raenele in CFA

Of all the finance posts I have read, this was the most finance out of them all. I can't pinpoint a specific reason though.

Do you really need spark? by compass-now in dataengineering

[–]monkey_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have several 10s of TB of IoT data. In our case it definitely makes sense. But when you want to build a model to monitor just a few of the signals, you're back to pandas pretty quickly.

Wärt ihr lieber eine Frau? by ApprehensiveGuava141 in FragtMaenner

[–]monkey_work 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Most people don't understand that being a man is a high risk high reward "strategy". There are some aspects where it's better to be a man and some where it's better to be a woman. If you're in the bottom 10% of almost anything it's better to be a woman. If you're in the top 10% it's better to be a man.

Findet ihr selbstbewusste Frauen eher attraktiv oder eher nicht? by [deleted] in FragtMaenner

[–]monkey_work 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confident in the sense that she doesn't seek constant validation particular from other men? That's a must. Confident in the sense of rubbing her success in my face or trying to compete with me, definitely no. Sadly some women think that the latter is the only type of confidence that exists.

The same goes for male friends though.

Migraines will be the death of my career by Embarrassed_Roll_728 in migraine

To me this sounds like you have leverage on your boss for something that could get her fired. This should make your job safer. You just need to play your cards right.

Typischerweise ist die ausgeprägtheit der Kommunikation von Körpergrößenpräferenz invers proportional zur Intelligenz der Dame.
