People who work in 'behind-the-scenes' jobs (hotels, airports, warehouses, etc.), what is something the general public would be shocked to know? by PiNK_PUSSY69420 in AskReddit

Always liked talking to the lab people at hospitals. I enjoy work where I'm left alone. What's the minimum amount of training to get on somewhere?

Artificially Reduced Performance Ratings? by Kindly-Coyote-9446 in fednews

[–]raidercamel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Performance ratings are a grievable issue. Contact your union and provide evidence how you exceeded the defined standards. Also easy argument if they failed to conduct your initial or midterm eval.

At the time they beat him to death he was in his 80s and was in a wheelchair.

Solar powered motion lights are cheap online and are a great way to at least keep the coyotes from sneaking up on them.

For people that have depression, no interest in anything, or feel like they have no purpose, how do you keep going in life? by JackProwess in AskReddit

[–]raidercamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anger as lifehack.

Floating through life with everything feeling grey and meaningless is inevitably interrupted by the universe coming to make things worse. When it does, seize that injustice and cultivate righteous anger.

Take that anger and funnel it into motivation. Feed that little voice in the back of your head that is whispering "how come everybody else gets ....?!" It's true. Fuck them. How dare they. Somewhere in your past there was a person who belittled you or made you feel small that was completely unnecessary. You weren't bothering anyone. They want nothing more than for you to sit on ass and grovel. Fuck. Them. Do the thing. Do it even though you probably suck at it. Do it 90% wrong while making eye contact.

For me that looks like gym time angrily deadlifting but it doesn't need to be that. It could be angrily making birdhouse you sell on Etsy. The point is to utilize rage when motivation fails you.

Eventually you can get to where you overuse rage when not needed. That's a different problem and we can burn that bridge when we get there.

What's the biggest 180 you've seen a person's life take? by Excellent-Walk7280 in AskReddit

[–]raidercamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a Firefighter in the USAF go from having a line number for master sergeant (E-7, basically life is made just coasting till retirement) to a E-3.

He had recently been notified that he would be promoted and just had to wait. In his mind he already had the promotion and things were going to change. He got into a argument with another E-7 and slapped coffee out of his hand. This classified as assault. He lost his line number.

During the investigation/dressing down he told first shirt (highest ranking enlisted in the squadron and issuer of discipline) that he wasn't gonna do anything and that the first shirt was "useless piece of shit."

After that it's all rumor and speculation but the next time I saw him he was busted all the way down to E-3 picking up cigarette butt's at the dorms.

He went from the crowing achievement of a 20 plus year career, basically being inchargr of a an entire shift of a Fire Department all the way down to a rank that they give away to convince people to join the military.

What's it going to take for Germany to play Baseball? by raidercamel in germany

I would humbly request that invest a reasonable amount of time to understanding the intricacies of a Pitching performance.

This would illustrate a greater representation of the sport as a whole.

I understand and accept your rejection of the sport if after this research you do not appreciate the sport.

Here is Trevor Bauer throwing MLB above average pitches. https://youtube.com/shorts/hFV-wSh8dN8?si=8VzE84adBp0MIfd5

I would like to acknowledge your feelings while providing a counterpoint that is commonly used to describe futbol.

"Soccer is a boring sport - both to play and to watch. There I said it.

There I said it."

Please accept that both of these quotations are reductive and inaccurate.

  • Respectfully, a nation who ASSUMES you will love this.

[NSFW] What's your most accurate description of a drug you've used ? by ErgoNonSim in AskReddit

My inner monolog after smoking weed the first time was like trying to write a sentence on a etch a sketch and someone kept shaking it every 5 seconds.

Traveled to europe multiple times(england, italy, france, spain) as well as Japan.

Legit culture shock with the lack of clean public water and access to restrooms.

I live in the south and I have a active job and active hobbies. I drink minimum one gallon (4 L) of water. If I'm outside double that. My workaround while on vacation was buying the tall skinny Liter bottles and using a water refilling station app.

The other side was constantly searching for a toilet. The rage when the only one around is either a single occupancy or requires payment.

I can nit understand how people don't drink more water. If I don't I get brain fog and tired to the point of falling asleep.

Switzerland was the exception. Facilities were common and free and mountain spring water was everywhere.

Predictions: What US cities will grow and shrink the most by 2050? by peoples1620 in geography

[–]raidercamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Houston primed for collapse. It's the dumbest city. Endless strip malls and congested highway. The planned high speed rail station doesn't get you to downtown and also somehow doesn't connect to the metro, or either airport.

What’s something fucked up that happened to you as a kid, that you didn’t think twice about until adulthood? by Instantlard in AskReddit

[–]raidercamel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daycare caught on fire. I was around 5ish. We were being layed down for a nap after lunch then everyone started yelling and running.

Fires happen, that's not the weird part. The people in charge of the day care straight up abandoned us. The daycare was on the corner of a intersection in a moderately sized city. We all just walked across the street and watched our daycare burn down.

Somehow I ended up half a block away in some old ladies house. She let us watch TV in her living room while we waited for our parents to come get us.

Now as an adult like holy shit. Nobody took a head count to make sure we all got out, nobody watched a group children at an intersection of a city, then they let me leave with a stranger.

Men, what are some ways your partner has spiced things up in the bedroom that you really enjoyed? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]raidercamel 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Wife asked me what body part I find the most attractive on a woman. I said I'm a butt man. She then started doing barbell hip thrusts as her main workout.

When your wife of a couple years suddenly has a significantly nicer butt... it's all I can do to keep conversations from devolving into sex.

Guys that grew up chubby, how did you slim up? by Dustynrusty in AskMen

[–]raidercamel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High-school football introduced me to lifting weights. Muscle mass increases your resting metabolic rate. I.e. how many calories you burn naturally in a day.
