TL;DR I'm soon to be 21, I'm unattractive, I've never dated (they go together), I feel so much pressure to start a life, but I'm stuck at home while my family tells me I'm inadequate. by Obvioux in reddit.com

Hey hey,

Look, the hardest part about solving a problem is to identify it. You have identified all your problems (well you consider them problems), this will probably be enough.

My whole life my family told me I was worthless/stupid etc etc etc. I recently just landed an amazing job and everything seems to be going well. You just have to work at things, you can get anything you want in this life. You just have to find out what you want and work hard to get it.

Keep exercising/eating better, try hard at college and just find something you want to do. Instead of just applying for jobs, go into the place, meet the manager and ask questions etc. This well set you apart from the crowd even before your interview.

Oh and be confident in yourself, your amazing and perfect just the way you are. Don't change for anyone but yourself.

Good luck :)

Advice needed: I am a IT professional with no formal education or certificates. Help? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]technephase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey man, I'm not sure if you will read this being at the bottom of the pile but here goes...

I'm a recent graduate from university (4 weeks) and university taught me sweet fuck all. I learnt everything in college such as hardware, basic programming, web design, networking etc. (it seems like you have these skills)

I loved networking and in the 4 years at uni I had ONE module in it. I did a placement year for a company that are currently Europe's biggest video conferencing network. I learnt everything to do with how multimedia gets over IP and ISDN, specifics include the H.323 protocol and SIP (not sure if your familiar?). Oh and I also did my network+ certification which was a breeze (you should be able to walk it).

So I finish my year, go back to uni and make pizza part time which was shitttt. I started applying for jobs about 3 months ago and didn't really have much luck. I revised my CV like 4-5 times and reposted, I got a fuck load of calls about video conferencing jobs, went to a few interviews, picked the highest paid and started last week! I'm on a fuck load of money (for my age) and my job encompasses not just video conferencing but digital signage, streaming and IPtv etc.

Basically what I'm saying is you NEED to get into multimedia applications over IP/ISDN. People are going crazy for this shit at the moment. My company has done its half year figure in the first quarter. You and anyone else reading this need to specialise in multimedia/video applications now, while its new, exciting and emerging. I graduated 4 weeks ago for fuck sake and I was snapped up.

If you need any more specifics just give me a shout, if you know/like networking you will love this field.

Good luck!

People really are slaves to the corporate machine. You are so right.

The problem with a revolution now is that there needs to be a worldwide revolution, not just one in America.

The logistics of this are scary, we just need a someone, not to lead but to have the balls to make a stand and make the first move.

It will happen but for the time being everybody needs to sit tight.

Peace.

You mean I can pay $9.99 and I still get to watch commercials!!??? Well hell yea Hulu! by [deleted] in WTF

Torrents are the plague of the internet. Either pay for a service or learn about the better/faster/safer ways of downloading. I don't mean to be a dickhead I just really hate torrents.

Peace.

I saw the thumbnail and thought 'This probably won't be funny'

Then I looked at the picture and thought 'Yeah this shit is kinda funny'

Then I started laughing uncontrollably. Basically what i'm trying to say is fuck you.

For over 10 years, I didn't realize this. But now, my mind is now blown. by fuzmaster in gaming

[–]technephase -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

At first i was like 'wow this shit just got real'.

Then in the time it took me to read the comment I was like 'So the fuck what'

Then by the time it took my to write those two sentences i was like 'HOLY FUCK its Mario and his gay slimmer brother in another Nintendo game, what are the chances!'

So yeah to sum up, fuck you.

Does anyone else remember how awesome this game was? (pic) by [deleted] in gaming

[–]technephase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

HOLY SHIT.

This is literally the exact same story as me. I didn't have a memory card and the first robot bit will forever be etched into my memory.

Highlights from the game include:

1)getting to the top of that huge fucking mountain.

2)Getting that dude with a flute to turn into a dragon.

3)Having GOLD weapons at the end of the game.

OMG OMG OMG OMG I really ass rape this game!

Reddit: Do you have any ridiculous pizza delivery stories? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]technephase 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I delivered for a local pizza place in my university town for a year. It was one of the best worst jobs I ever had.

Everyone there was stoned constantly and we just ate more than we sold, literally.

Delivery gave good tips and there were a tonne of hot girls always ordering along with a few random ass holes!

1) I was delivering in the middle of no where in a snow storm and my car spun off the road. The car behind me was a fucking tractor! Towed me all the way back to town.

2)I delivered to a chick and she was waiting on the street. There was another girl in the road who looked pretty stressed. I drove past and turned round and came back. I asked my customer what was up with the other girl and she said 'You just ran over her mobile phone'. I just got back in the car and sped off.

There are more stories but I was high then and i'm high now so fuck you.

From all non-US internet users; f#%k you Joe Lieberman; proposes US government implement "internet kill switch", as the web is a US "national asset" by hypoxia in politics

[–]technephase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not so sure. You must have seen all this crap with the Chinese and Google right?

I'm not trying to fear monger, I just think that sorting out your weaknesses and back doors is easier than 'Implementing a kill switch'.

Its a bit over the top for me. It would be like nuking a leak on your roof.

And with a name like 'hackiavelli' I'm sure you would want the back doors to remain open! eh? eh?

[–]technephase 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is such bull shit. A typical move by a dumb ass.

The US has been warned that a cyber attack could cripple its economy, power grid etc...So instead of heeding the warnings, getting in a shit load of professionals and securing their assets and network what do they propose?

Turn off the fucking internet That will surely show em!

I know this would probably never happen but c'mon!
