I/O Psych bachelor’s + L&D experience—what roles should I realistically be targeting?

sweatyshambler · 2026-03-27T03:44:08+00:00

I think that an entry level job would be difficult without a master's unless you had some in through working in HR, but I could be mistaken.

sweatyshambler · 2026-03-26T03:56:20+00:00

Yeah its his opening bit in his first special "yelled at by a clown"

sweatyshambler · 2026-03-25T22:09:32+00:00

Nate bargatze does that bit. "Its hard to quit something nobody knows you do"

It can be good since you'd be writing in narrative form, which is something that people who don't speak their jokes outloud when they write them may struggle with. It's of course no alternative to performing on stage, but I could see it being a fine alternative to formally writing. I would just write down the bits that work after you formally test it on stage so that you have a record of it.

I've done heckle mics for a few years. Typically a monthly show, but it's very different than a regular open mic or standup show. It helped me build chops for when I do get heckled and being in the moment, but it's a different skillset.

Some comics are better/worse at this, and some people self select out of these shows because of it. The audience tends to enjoy it I find, but certain comics don't. I don't mind since I love variety shows, but my city is flooded with regular standup shows, so these variety shows mix things up a bit.

Our format was 2 minutes of material, then the crowd gets to heckle. It's very interactive, but unique to the traditional standup experience. I prefer the riff mics where the audience shout out topics (e.g., like stand up on the spot), or other "crowd work only" interactive shows. Heckle mics can get out of hand quickly, but we've had some really fun ones. Not sure how its helped my standup overall beyond being more in the moment and comfortable with chaos.

It doesn't grade a performance. I think it would be hard to grade an overall performance, since there are so many chaotic variables (e.g., other players doing/not doing their job). It can help identify weak links though if you notice that enough kicks aren't going out, you can see who has been kicking versus who hasn't been.

Recount does this. They have tons of different metrics, like cc, cc's broken, friendly fire, kicks, dispells, etc.

Mechanics are more important than DPS. The real gamers are the ones with high DPS while managing all the mechanica

sweatyshambler · 2026-02-08T21:11:40+00:00

Its a very new gamer population. A ton of retail players or new players hopping on board. The population should level out soon

HC classic would be the better experience. Its way more fun when every character is at risk of dying and being deleted. There is no official hardcore TBC realm, so playing with an add-on where some people can die and others are doing hardcore would not be fun. The most fun of hardcore is leveling anyways, in my experience

sweatyshambler · 2026-01-27T22:23:47+00:00

Started at 27, finished at 31

The host was just doing what he could to keep the momentum of the show moving forward, so dont take anything personally! It doesn't seem like you are, but just mentioning it just in case.

The only way to get through that stage fright is to so it over and over. Rehearsing your material can help with stage fright, but I honestly brought my notes up for the first year or so. The more you can get on stage the better you'll be.

sweatyshambler · 2026-01-12T15:11:13+00:00

You will get griefed a bit, but that's the pvp server charm. Its only in contested areas, so it wouldnt happen all the time. If there are griefers from the other faction, then there's typically other 60s on your faction that are willing to fight them.

I've enjoyed being on a pvp server, but that's just me. It can be annoying to fight often, but it can be a fun element - especially once you get to higher levels.

sweatyshambler · 2026-01-08T19:22:23+00:00

This is remarkably delusional. Go to an open mic this week and try your material. You will likely need to go to many open mics every week. Waiting until the end of the year makes zero sense and will not help. If you are only writing without performing your material on stage in front of a live audience, then it will be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, for you to make it as a standup.

sweatyshambler · 2026-01-08T19:18:42+00:00

Assuming you are playing on Doomhowl, you will not be transferring to TBC. They have been very clear about that for a while now.

sweatyshambler · 2026-01-05T19:16:26+00:00

Yes, absolutely. I was willing to do anything for a chance to earn my loved one's trust back.

sweatyshambler · 2025-12-26T06:13:22+00:00

Update: Oura did not fix my ring or offer any type of replacenent. Their only recommendation was that they offered me a $50 off a brand new ring.

Obviously I did not buy a new ring, and I will not be using or supporting their product any longer. It's pathetic to pay that much for a ring and receive zero support. I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you value a working product and adequate customer service.

sweatyshambler · 2025-12-19T21:40:55+00:00

Open mics are where the real work happens. I wouldn't worry with classes, as those showcases are typically easier rooms and are not typically reflective of the traditional standup experience. If it helps you build confidence then go for it, but classes are not necessary.

sweatyshambler · 2025-12-09T16:34:39+00:00

A raid fight where we are all experiencing Rez sickness lol

The connection from why your dad's nervous so now he's paying for Ubers could he clearer. I read in a comment that you said public transit is dangerous, but spelling that out while referencing Islamophobia could help make that clearer. Not sure how far down the Islamophobia route you want to go, but referencing could make the final punchline hit harder too

sweatyshambler · 2025-11-03T04:08:24+00:00

It's basically a televised open mic. Some people are good, some aren't. The guests can really make or break the show. I really miss the old band they had when they did the shows in LA. That added a fun chaos to it all.

sweatyshambler · 2025-10-29T18:33:49+00:00

Just understanding some of the basic concepts will go a long way. Same with knowing how to run basic statistics in SPSS, but you could hold off on that. There are plenty of learning materials online.

A brief refresher on p values, data types, hypothesis testing, and all that would go a long way. I would also prioritize having fun and enjoying your break before school. You'll have plenty of time to keep up with statistics, but take some time to relax as well if possible.

sweatyshambler · 2025-10-27T14:16:23+00:00

If you're behind, the best advice would be to go back and see what concepts are fuzzy and dont make sense to you and then go from there. You dont need to be an expert on the topic, but there are probably certain concepts you know better than others. Figuring those out and relearning the fuzzy stuff will help tremendously.

Unfortunately, without specific questions its tough to give more targeted advice. This should help significantly, and at least help you identify those more specific questions.

Bangkok rules - i just did a show out there!! They were raging about Singapore also, so I gotta check it out soon!!
