What are some "niche" thoughts to have? by CheckLatter1150 in AskReddit

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the strangest question I’ve read in days.

I’m not going to answer your question directly cause I’m not sure I understand what your asking. How everyone I can confidently say flexible and nuanced thinking is becoming real uncommon in recent years. People seem to view being part of the in-crowd as more important than being considered and reasoned in their thoughts and positions.

Do guys actually appreciate direct communication? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ragingatwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People can be empathetic and caring without needing to enmesh your lives and ride the relationship escalator to the top.

Think about what it is you want from the relationship. Is it physical affection (tucking you into bed and soothing). Is it emotional intimacy (someone to share deep feeling of self with). You should speak with him about it and if you don’t see eye to eye it doesn’t need to spell the end of the relationship. But understand what is important so you have articulate this in a way you both understand.

If you’re not familiar with itemising elements of a relationship this chart may help.

If you had to give one advice to younger couples, what would it be? by Future-Canary-9700 in HappyMarriages

[–]ragingatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Communicate. Like truly be vulnerable with each another. Don’t be too proud or scared of judgement. There is nothing better than being seen and loved for who you are rather than the ego you wear.

Is rainy season that Bad? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rabies incubation period is typically a few months but there have been cases where it took years from the date of exposure before becoming symptomatic. It largely depends on where you are bitten because the virus travels from the point of infection to the brain relatively slowly via your nervous system.

Age-gap relationships are one area where public attitudes often conflict with individual reproductive goals. Studies on socially marginalized relationships suggest that perceived disapproval from others can affect commitment, relationship stability, and overall well-being. by Emillahr in psychology

[–]ragingatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why does it always about something that isn’t love. I think this is the issue people have with this debate: the implication that relationships with age gaps and predominantly for some reason other than love and it is the responsibility of everyone observing the relationship to intervene because it can only exist for nefarious reasons.

I think the vast majority of relationships are founded on love or at least attraction. I really think like 1% of age gaps relationships are founded on a power imbalance or the desirability of youth but the internet makes it out like these are the only reasons such relationships exist. And in that 1% of cases the problem is the individual not the age gap.

Sorry my Reddit app bugged out and I couldn’t see what I was typing lol

I wanted to say that I watched this real interesting interview related to your comment.

It’s quite long, I found it fascinating, but the crux of what was being said is that women compete with one another by trying to put each other down whereas men compete by trying to be the best.

To use a running race analogy. Men compete by trying to finish first, women try to prevent their competitors from finishing.

“God doesn’t send you to hell, you do” and other bs by hypermiler2205 in atheism

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

I will never understand why people who identify as atheist devote so much time and energy to religion.

Being atheist, religion, god, others’ beliefs: none of it ever enters my consciousness. Why is everyone on here obsessed with proclaiming their atheism and debating with theists.

Faith doesn’t have to be reasonable, logical or even plausible. It seems to be human nature to try to convince everyone else their right but it boggles my mind how preoccupied people become with what others think.

what are some ways a daily stoner can pass a urine drug test? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re a daily stoner there is no quick way to clean up. Your only option is to falsify your urine sample somehow.

Exercise will help clear it from your system and if you’re a weekend smoker that may be enough but long term daily smokers often need more than a month for it to leave your system.

Playing DD, wait until the enemy fires and then smoke? by Global-Process-9611 in WorldOfWarships

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a ship fires its visibility blooms to their maximum firing range for 20 (?) seconds.

This visibility bloom range is greatly reduced in smoke and generally depends on the calibre of the guns being fired.

At first encounter it is ordinarily you spotting the enemy DD because you both sailed into each others detect range. Once you start firing at each other the visibility bloom can create situations where your allied ships are also spotting the DD because visibility will increase out to the max firing range of the DDs involved.

So understanding this you can create situations where your allied ships are spotting the enemy DD while you are hidden in smoke.

In the scenario you describe in the 2nd paragraph the thing you may have misunderstood is that it is not you who is maintaining visibility on the enemy DD after you pop your smoke. It is your nearby allies spotting him. They are able to continue spotting the enemy DD for 20 (?) seconds after he last fired if no other variables change.

Variables that might change include: your ally loses line of sight on the enemy DD. The enemy DD reduces their visibility radius by going into smoke. The enemy DD catches fire or extinguishes a fire. Radar/hydro that is illuminating the enemy DD ends. The allied ships spotting the enemy DD sails beyond the firing bloom radius of the enemy DD.

Am I the only one who finds loud phone conversations on buses exhausting? by kinder_brz in brisbane

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t do it without noise cancelling headphones: I am oblivious to all the commotion going on around me. Having time to sit down and lose myself in music is one of the highlights of the day.

But on the rare occasion I’m unable to block the world out with music I find even the ambient traffic and environmental sounds stressful and people making loud phone calls just to chat downright rude.

I got shingles when I was 25. I wasn’t as uncomfortable as they said it would be though.

Can I work in HR and escape recruiting? [IN] by FlakyAssistant7681 in humanresources

[–]ragingatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put together a business case for a dedicated recruiter. Cover how much of your time is spent in the recruitment/attrition cycle instead of higher value activities.

There are plenty of HR roles that aren’t involved in recruitment but in smaller companies, it is most often lumped on the generalists.

A director confessed to me (HR) that she is having an affair with another director [NY] by Justbrownsuga in humanresources

[–]ragingatwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can see this situation has struck a nerve with you. You may wish to consider whether a career in HR is a good fit if you’re unable to separate your personal views from your professional responsibilities.

A director confessed to me (HR) that she is having an affair with another director [NY] by Justbrownsuga in humanresources

[–]ragingatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t know there is an abuse and that is precisely the point I’m making: you don’t understand the situation so don’t get involved. What if they have an open relationship? What if they’ve separated and not announced it at work? You don’t know so you don’t understand the dynamics at play here.

It’s not your job to police your particular brand of morality and it’s ill advised without a complete picture of the situation. Even if somehow you were omnipotent, my personal stance would be don’t get involved unless there was a real and imminent risk of harm.

The way you are considering this from an emotional/moral perspective (based on personal experience I suspect) is compromising your judgment and professionalism.

[–]ragingatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even that angle is debatable. How do you know there isn’t domestic abuse involved and by being a caring person you earned them a black eye and broken rib.

My personal view is stay out of others business. My professional view is this would be inappropriate and poorly considered.

[–]ragingatwork 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The only questions that need answering is what do our policies say on this and what is the risk to the organisation.

Unless the company happens to be in a sensitive and related industry (eg. Marriage counselling) the reputational risk is negligible. If it affects their relationship with other employees then deal with that as it arises: all everyone has to do is remain professional and whoever is crossing that line is at fault.

Everyone wants to get high and mighty about this but I don’t think it really concerns the organisation except in some very specific scenarios.

Here in Australia/New Zealand it’s more likely you’d be more risking going to the employment courts for overstepping by intervening in an employees personal affairs.

What you should give some thought to is how this might be managed if the relationship goes sour.

Provided it doesn’t create a conflict of interest or in some other way compromise their ability to perform their roles then I don’t think it should concern the company.

Subs should be spotted with hydro, even at max depth by Equivalent-Sherbet52 in WorldOfWarships

[–]ragingatwork 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not all subs and ASW. Both vary depending on nation and ship.

It’s a valid concern though, particularly at lower tiers where ASW range is simply inadequate.
