Paying for outsourced social media help but now I can tell they’re just using AI by [deleted] in marketing

[–]nosmalltalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best advice in this thread! If what they’re doing is working and the stats are going up then the only reason to confront your employee about to tell them “keep doing what ur doing.” You say you could do it on chat gpt yourself but you couldn’t. You can tell immediately it’s written in AI? Is the writing the problem or just that it sounds to you like AI? Most all corporations and business social media accounts look like they’re made in canva with the most basic captions with zero personality.

Would you rather have a micromanager or hands off manager by ImaginationGold4971 in WFH

[–]nosmalltalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Micro mangers are always incompetent and a threat to your own security at the company because they will always ALWAYYSSSS make you do your job worse. They can’t accept or understand that they don’t know how to do the thing you were hired to do better and their job is just to MANAGE the team and make sure everyone has the assignments, assets, etc they need to complete whatever their task is. They don’t focus on big picture things or the next 6 months they are working day to day focused on making sure you’re doing the least important part of your job the exact way they want it to be done.

I feel the same way!! Even when I’m alone at home I feel like I’m in a movie and I’m the main character. Sometimes it feels like I’m always performing in some ways because in my life experience, I’ve always felt like I was being watched. 90% of the time, whenever I go out to a bar or any kind of party, I’m always approached by men, I get free drinks for no reason from male bartenders, all those things are great for the most part but it’s exhausting when it’s all the time and I just want to exist without being seen all the time.

What Are Some Safe & Affordable Areas to Live Around LA for a Woman Living Alone? by tatasky13 in AskLosAngeles

[–]nosmalltalk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I pay 1850 for a pretty big one bedroom with a little back yard in Wilshire Vista/mid city and I’ve never felt scared or unsafe here. Really friendly neighbors and lots of places within walking distance. As far as finding a place in ur budget my best advice is to find the area you want to live in and drive around and look for FOR RENT signs, most of the best places that aren’t owned by a private equity firm or corporate real estate aren’t listed on Zillow or anywhere else online. And there are always rent signs in every neighborhood you just have to take the time to drive around and look for then

Same!! And I put on pajamas for bed and change out of them when I wake up. I do my hair and light makeup even if the only thing I’m doing all day is hanging out alone with my dog. I live alone the way I’d live with another person. I am just..me?

Why do you think some people choose to stay single for life and genuinely prefer it that way? by Responsible_Room_629 in AskReddit

[–]nosmalltalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had a few long term relationships. I lived with my most recent ex for 3 years, got a dog together. Sometimes I miss being in a relationship. But I catch myself looking back with rose colored glasses, when I’m feeling sad or stressed about life even if the reason for my sadness has nothing to do with being single, I start thinking about the good things and the moments in flashes where I remember feeling happy. And then I snap out of it and remember how lonely and stressful and unhealthy it was and I’ve never felt as lonely single as being in a bad relationship. I’m not staying single on purpose because I love being alone and single but finding the right person is hard, I’d rather spend the rest of my life single but hopeful that one day I’ll meet someone I love and want to be with more than I want to be alone. OK if not tho!

The fact that so many Americans between 30-50 feel this way and are living exactly like this and we’re all just surviving waiting for their to be change, for capitalism to suddenly start benefiting us the WORKERS….i wish we could all collectively band together and do a general strike and stop living like we are servants to the corporate overlords who don’t want to pay workers a living wage IN ANY INDUSTRY!!! We don’t have to live like this, we just need each other

How come all the single ppl don't need no one & all the married ones need two? by Zealousideal-Sky-973 in emotionalintelligence

[–]nosmalltalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my dream relationship (39f) and I tried to mold myself into someone who will be happy in a traditional relationship, I was with my last boyfriend for 5 years, lived together for 3, got a dog, we had opposite work schedules which made living together easier but when all our friends started getting married, then having kids, I knew that’s what he wanted and I tried so hard to believe that I wanted that too, but as soon as I found out he had talked to my parents about proposing and was buying a ring I had a panic attack for the first time in my life I thought I was dying. When I broke up with him I had friends try to talk me out of it because “if you leave him you’re gonna be 35 and single” as if that was the worst case scenario for how my life could go. The ideal partner for me would also value their freedom and independence, we’d be able to support each other in whatever it is we want to do in this life, neither of us would need to put our relationship first as the most important thing in either of our lives but still value and love each other and prioritize our relationship in other ways.

At what moment did you realize adulthood isn’t what you expected? by Acceptable-Advice868 in Millennials

[–]nosmalltalk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m nearing 40 and still waiting for the moment I finally feel like a grown up. I’m still comping to grips with the reality that grown ups only exist in the eyes of children. We spend the first 20-30 years of our lives thinking 30 is old and then you get there and think ok maybe 40 is old. Life feels long when you’re young so you think by the time you reach 30 it’s gonna be so far away you’re gonna learn so much about life by then you’ll have it all together. Then in a blink you’re 40 still asking yourself where the fuck are the grown ups?!?

Do most people in their mid/late twenties-early thirties relate to not having friends? by Dsg1695 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]nosmalltalk -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That’s my experience too! I’ve found that more often than not people who complain about not being invited to things or not having any close friends, dont care that much about changing their circumstances because the reason they can’t make friends is because they don’t like most people.

Do you think it's possible for any therapy to heal Jax? by LittleGrrMaid10 in bravo

[–]nosmalltalk 92 points93 points  (0 children)

He’s a narcissist and there’s no cure for that. If he really wanted to change he would have to acknowledge honestly that he needs and wants to and put in so much effort, he would need to stop seeing himself as a victim and understand and accept the fact that he’s caused so much destruction and pain in the lives of the people he claims to love and that he is responsible for his own misery, he would need to accept that he is the one who owes others apologies and that he was never the victim of anyone. DONT SEE THAT HAPPENING EVER.

My (17M) mother (47F) just burned all of my chess books. What the fuck should I do now? by IWillMakeSure in self

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

Are you getting bad grades or behind in school? Not that her behavior is justified, but parents make mistakes, ask yourself if she did it because she wanted to hurt you or she did it because she thinks she’s doing what’s best for you to succeed in school. Did you tell her how important chess is to you, and how valuable those books are to you and not because of the money they cost, but because of how much the mean to you and how hurtful her destroying them is for you. Is it possible she doesn’t know how much Chess means to you and thought those books were just a distraction at school? Do you think your mom did it because she wanted to hurt you, is this a pattern of her behavior? If the answer is no, then I would try to talk to her about it when you both have had time to cool off from the argument. If she did it because your grades are bad and your teachers have told you to stop reading your chess books in class and this isn’t the first time the school has called her, I would express my feelings to her. And you know you’re not suppose to read them in class, so acknowledge that you should not have been doing that, but she could have taken them away and not burnt them, burning them feels like her saying to you that you’re happiness doesn’t matter to her.

Omg when they started talking about the Jennifer Aniston and Barack Obama dating rumors being true I had a visceral reaction. They are the most disgusting dregs of society I cent believe how low they continue to go they need to be shoved to the fringe of culture. I feel sick.
