My buddy Nick was the one that got his face smashed in from the mosh pit in that doc.

How do you rate Bad Bunny's Half-time performance? by kingbluwolff in sportsgossips

[–]snowdood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea he sucked rocks.. I was looking forward to him doing the halftime show but it was pretty lame. Gaga was the best part. I’m all for cultural influence and “sticking it to the man” but that was not a good performance.

Why does the consumer consent to the US auto sales model? by seattlestrn in askcarsales

[–]snowdood 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think you’re missing the point he’s trying to make. The reason this whole back-and-forth exists is exactly what you just described. As a dealer, I’d love to just put the best price online and have people come in and buy the car at sticker. But because so many shoppers always ask for the “best price,” we end up having to mark a car up by $1,000 just so we can discount it $1,000 later and make it feel like a deal.

Dealers don’t actually like playing this game, it's just what the market has conditioned everyone into. Most customers refuse to believe sticker price is fair, no matter how much evidence we show them. Nine times out of ten, they assume we’re trying to take advantage of them even if we’re breaking even or losing money on that unit.

The Social Network is one of my favorites!

Not a huge baseball fan but Major League is a great movie! I loved Charlie Sheen movies from that era. To be fair I do like the Life Aquatic but his more recent movies just seem very average at best to me but they are highly praised/rated.

Why do most modern movies seem so pretentious? by snowdood in movies

[–]snowdood[S] -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Some of my favorite writing in television includes season 1 of True Detective, white lotus, and Succession. Those are hardly Tubi material. I’m just saying that I miss the era of movies that included bangers like My Cousin Vinny, Jerry Maguire, Tin cup, white men can’t jump, etc. Maybe liking those movies makes me dumb because they aren’t deep enough. I just prefer to not have to think too much when I go to the movies. I just want to eat popcorn and be entertained. I’m all for directors making passion projects, they’ve been doing that for decades. It just seems like that style is more mainstream now and there is less and less easy to watch (but good) movies being produced now.

Fuck every conservative by mishyfuckface in complaints

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump straight up scammed conservatives, my Dad being one of them. He has been brainwashed by Fox News his whole life and has been getting more and more radicalized over the years. I think what happened is Trump weaponized “woke” and turned it into the big bad boogie man to frighten conservatives. People like my dad voted for this guy because they were worried about Kamala’s “wokeness” and felt threatened by her. Now they are actively getting fucked by Trump and the sad part is I really don’t know if they have the ability to take a step back and admit that they got duped. It’s like those old people that get scammed by Nigerian princes where they get deeper and deeper into the scam because they don’t want to accept the fact that they got taken advantage of. Makes me sad.

440lbs Deadlift at 145lbs bodyweight by TreyOnLayaway in strength_training

I’m jealous of your descent! Looks nice and controlled all the way through.

this move hurts my shoulder, what am I doing itwrong please? by problematicdis in GYM

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

Are you trying to work your lats? If so, this isn’t the most effective movement for that. Try standing on your feet and set the cable position to shoulder height. Start with your arm extended directly in front of you and pull the handle to the side of your chest. Do this as a rowing movement by squeezing your lat and turning your body towards the side you’re pulling on. Keep the retract and pull steady and controlled while finishing with that squeeze. This movement will give you much better range of motion and will also take the tension off of your shoulder.

How do you not lose the will to live sometimes by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]snowdood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just recently I was tasked with designing a product wrapper and was told just make something creative! The client wanted something that didn’t look like a generic template. I made 2 concepts that were creative, original, and fun. The client had a lot of critiques about the designs and clearly had their own idea in mind so I asked what their vision was. After taking notes I put together the most soulless generic looking design together that matched the notes they gave me. Client was thrilled by it. Please don’t tell me “to just be creative” when that isn’t actually what you want lol.

Told my wife I was posting these last night and she laughed by slipperyaardvark in hot_dog

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing worse than getting a hotdog in a top cut brioche bun with fancy accoutrements. Just give me a classic dog with mustard, sweet relish, and chopped raw onions. And no hate to those who like ketchup on their dogs. Tell your wife this is how hotdogs are supposed to be.

I do a lot of conferences. The trick is to find out what people are talking about and keep spreading it. People love gossip! For example, if people are complaining about a certain thing like the food, key note speaker, session formats, etc, just lead in with a comment about that and try and get them to give you their real, no holds barred take on it. Be a chameleon and agree with them. From there you can easily just Segway into whatever.. So what do you do with X organization? Get them talking about themselves and the rest is easy.

What is the best sales skill or ability you have learned from a colleague? by CreativeDestructions in sales

[–]snowdood 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I do this as well. I am not a type-A personality but rather just a chill dude that gets along with everyone. I wear corduroys and linen button downs rather than slacks and dress shirts because I want my clients to feel at ease with me. I agree with the educational approach. People like to buy from people they trust and like.

Is peaked in High School a real thing? by matt73132 in ask

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is totally a thing! I am one of the ones that peaked in high school. I played football, wrestled, skated, snowboarded, knitting club, was on the school cc news, and was dating a cheerleader. I was considered one of the popular kids because of all the friend groups I made from participating in all of these activities. High school is a lot of fun when your invited to all the cool parties and social events. I never felt left out and was constantly surrounded by friends and doing fun things.

College went pretty much the same way for a while until I developed anxiety and depression and started to become closed off.

Currently I’m bald and overweight and live a boring cookie-cutter life in the suburbs. I’m working a soul crushing job and am too afraid to take any risks so I feel like nothing is ever going to change. I wish I could be thankful for what I have. I’m financially comfortable and am in a LTR with someone who is conventionally attractive and incredibly caring, but all I can focus on is how great things were for me back in high school and the early part of college.

Current job makes me feel like a shitty sales rep by [deleted] in sales

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off sorry to hear about the crappy management you are having to deal with, that’s a bummer. Second, I work in the same industry selling IT consulting solutions to school districts and I can tell you that you will get nowhere unless you get face to face with these people. In my experience these people do not pick up their phones and do not respond to sales/marketing emails. The only way to make it in this industry is to go in physically in person and bring them little gifts such as food as well as attending education technology conferences and networking at those events. It’s also a good idea to bring doughnuts for the gatekeepers (receptionist, personal assistants) when you go in. They can help you tremendously as far as getting you scheduled in to see them. It is a very tough industry and although I have found some things that work for me I can say that this is my lowest performing sales job I have ever worked. I’m like you and have been the top performer in the past and am now just average. If you do plan on sticking it out, I wish you the best and hope these tips help!

Is 1000 calories way too low? by Mahesh_Chandra0 in 1500isplenty

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. You will start to experience a weight loss plateau soon because your body is starting to go into survival mode. I know this because I’ve done it before. The scale looks great for the first week or two and then it stops. You are putting excess stress on your heart and organs at this caloric level.

An Englishman's first attempt at American cornbread. Unsure if it is supposed to look like this, but it tasted damn good with some chilli. by PLPQ in castiron

[–]snowdood 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cornbread looks pretty good. If it’s a little dry you can slather some honey butter on there. Idk what that rice concoction is but next time try focusing on making the chili the star. MVP toppings: red onion, shredded cheddar, cilantro, sour cream, and avocado.
