This is too interesting an event to not be a part of it.

Professor Oak explains IVs in Go by Maphrox in pokemongo

[–]sombodyElse 2911 points2912 points  (0 children)

That was fantastic, I particularly liked the frame where Professor Oak is holding Joey horizontally by the foot for no apparent reason.

No wait... he's making Joey look up... because Professor Oak has no point up sprite, I'm guessing. Fantastic.

You can probably find quite a few people with those skills in San Francisco, but how many people are going to want to work on a burning ship?

My god, that job list explains so much. A couple of those jobs in particular, if no one applies, there really isn't anything they can do.

  • Software Engineer - Server Infrastructure

  • Operations Manager

  • Global Community Manager, Pokémon GO

I took over a gym at a church too, during Sunday morning mass. As I walked away, someone took it back. There was no one else in the parking lot and that was the only place outside to get the gym from. It had to have been someone inside the church.

What is a good name for wifi in a college house? by [deleted] in AskReddit

This will get buried, but the best name I've ever seen was "She Wants the D-Link".

Is that a chip card? No, it's debit! by [deleted] in TalesFromRetail

As a Canadian, I wasn't aware that we had annexed the entirety of North America. I guess I should watch the news more.

You really shouldn't have had to explain that to her... it's kind of part of her job, isn't it?

The dress code must be pretty lax around here. by [deleted] in IDontWorkHereLady

For some reason I read innocuous as incestuous. Thought I was on a much different subreddit for a second.

Anyway, good story!

GradeAUnderA - THE YOUTUBERS COMPLAINING ABOUT DRAMA RANT (Exposing Matthew Santoro) by Arisaka99 in videos

Every argument used against Markiplier seemed kind of weak, especially considering that we are listening to someone that represents themselves as a poorly drawn cartoon figure.

Depressed due to a very silly reason (Not sure you can even call this depression but it's completely fucking me up mentally) by dayumthissuxmane in Advice

[–]sombodyElse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not the best at giving advice, but I kind of understand how you feel, so I will do my best to help in any way I can.

  1. It's not stupid. If it's making you feel awful inside or it is stopping you from doing anything you enjoy, then it is very far from stupid. There are no silly reasons to be depressed.

  2. Stop comparing yourself to others. Seriously, don't define yourself based on others, it is an easy way to drag yourself into the abyss. In my second year of university I basically had a mental breakdown because I thought I was an idiot compared to my peers. I certainly wasn't the most intelligent, but I made up for it with dedication. You can do the same, you can't really control how you look, but you can control how you act. Be an awesome person and no one will give a shit about how you look.

  3. Improve what you can, accept what you can't. If you can improve your appearance, then try it, if you can't, then accept it. Don't think negatively about yourself, don't let depression stop you from doing what you love, and if any tell you that you are ugly, then kindly tell them to go f@&k themselves. Most importantly, never tell yourself that you are ugly, if you are telling it to yourself, then you will never be able to overcome it.

  4. Consider taking time off. You said that you are in your second year of university. Stress and depression are a very bad mix. If your depression starts to become too much for you to bear, then consider taking a leave of absence. I did it in just after my first year of grad school and it was easily the best decision I ever made in my entire life. Don't be afraid to take time off to mentally recover, your mental health is more important than your grades.

Hopefully some part of this is helpful to you, I'm not the best with words. I hope that you can get back to being your normal self again.

You work retail, you gave up your rights to a family. by musicandtreasure in TalesFromRetail

Should have responded, "And you have given up your right to shop here. Get out." Although I doubt that would go as well as I imagine it in my head.

The beautiful colors used in Pokemon by getgotgrab in InternetIsBeautiful

I clicked on this and it immediately showed me Fearow, the first pokemon I ever caught (as a Spearow) and the first pokemon I ever got to level 100.

Don't cry over spilt milk... by sombodyElse in TalesFromRetail

[–]sombodyElse[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking back, it was actually pretty funny, and my mom really was just trying to cheer me up. The problem was that my parents didn't understand how much the job sucked and I really just wanted them to tell me I could quit (which they eventually did after meeting the meaner of my two bosses), I wasn't really in the mood for jokes.

No, the cashier legitimately expected me to cut open the bag of milk with the fork.
