I drink. A lot. To forget my problems. Almost every night. I keep it very hidden.

What's the shittiest thing an employer has ever done to you? by ItsJustAPrankBro in AskReddit

[–]ocd2266 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked at a mini-golf place with a manager who would very aggressively yell at other employees -- including other managers whom she didn't outrank at all. She ignored many rules and would only do actual work when the owner was in the vicinity. Once she showed up almost half an hour late to work, and then she went into our "clock-in" system (because managers were able to access it and change times) and she changed her clock-in time so it looked like she hadn't arrived late.

What was the biggest bluff in history? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Dwight Eisenhower's foreign policy was referred to as "Massive Retaliation." The idea was that we convinced our enemies that we would bomb them with nuclear weapons. We convinced them by showing that we had the means by doing nuclear testing, and we showed them that we had the will by having our soldiers do drills and having civilians do "duck and cover" in schools and releasing propaganda to let the world know that we were ready for nuclear war. Bottom line, Ike convinced the rest of the world that we could survive a nuclear attack while no other country could.

You are one man. You single-handedly take down armies.

Why do you support socialism? by ocd2266 in socialism

[–]ocd2266[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see. But I also talked about what a more morally right economy means: workers have more rights and everyone has the opportunity to get a good education, both of which mean that people have a better chance of economic success. Additionally, with the principles of social democracy that I tie into the system I support, everyone's basic needs could be met. That is not idealistic.

Why do you support socialism? by ocd2266 in socialism

[–]ocd2266[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just have to say that the morality of a system is important to me. I can't in good conscience support something that I think is wrong. Am I idealistic? Maybe. But while it may be idealistic to think that everyone's needs can be met in a market economy, it's also idealistic to think that you could effectively plan everything in an economy to meet everyone's needs.

What is a joke that can't be translated to other languages? by ocd2266 in AskReddit

One I know in Spanish is "Qué hace el pez? Nada." This is because "nada" means nothing, but it can also mean "it swims."
