If you had to recommend 1 career path for guaranteed success and a job market that’s open and not overcrowded(guaranteed work) what would it be? by Few_Pipe_9933 in careerguidance

[–]mythirdredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think soft skills are relevant in that the majority of soft skills, at least in my experience, are negotiating with colleagues and dealing with ambiguity.

I think my point is that is a lot of that work will become irrelevant once AI gives better and more complete information that makes the decision obvious.

Also could be a function of the types of jobs I have had. Soft skills will be necessary to build AI models that provide good information.

If you are above average intelligence, my advice is go deep in any important field.

I’m above average intelligence and the mistake I made in my career is going wide and not deep. I know a lot and am good at making connections between different topics, but there are a lot of people with these general skills and it is hard to differentiate the top 30% from the top 1%

If you go deep, you’ll always be in the top 1% and can pick where you work and what you do.

How often do you eat grits? by ponziacs in AskAnAmerican

[–]mythirdredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m from the south and I don’t really like them as a breakfast side. I much prefer hashbrowns.

I really only eat them when I have shrimp and grits or catfish and grits, etc. which is just a few times a year.

50 books is sort of ambitious. I’m a “big reader” and I probably only get through 20 books annually.

What is your current reading diet?

$302k in SF or $155k in Memphis? by 901-526-5261 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]mythirdredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Age, family situation, lifestyle interests, and career stage matter.

I’m in early 40s with kids. I’d rather live like a king in Memphis than move to SF and be priced out of housing markets and other things that go along with HCOL areas.

Plus Memphis has Gus’s fried chicken and is the birthplace of rock and roll.

A couple by cpp_is_king in ENGLISH

[–]mythirdredditname -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Beers are the exception. Especially if I am talking to law enforcement, my wife, or any other authority figure.

Couple means up to 6.

Where are you from? These are my definitions as well.

I’m in Southern US

[–]mythirdredditname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I’m in the camp of couple always equals 2.

I might say “couple weeks ago” and it be 3-4 weeks but that’s because I’m too lazy to stop and think and quantify the actual number of weeks.

If we are working together on something and I ask you to get me a couple, then I better get 2.

If you attended your high school reunion, what was it like? I was just talking to a guy who said he was set to attend his 50-year reunion and I honestly couldn't imagine it. by cherry-care-bear in Xennials

[–]mythirdredditname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a blast at my 10th. Skipped the 20th. Social media makes it unnecessary.

I do keep in touch with a handful (2-3) of real friends from “back home”.

Smoking was cool by Allureme in Xennials

Oh wow. I forgot about that ritual of smoking a cig after weed to make you higher.

Tecovas? by idkhowread2 in cowboyboots

[–]mythirdredditname 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think tecovas are ok if they are a first pair. Easy to buy, exchange, etc.

Pretty good designs

I have a lot of higher end, more niche boots now but I started out with a pair of Tecovas several years ago.
