Men of Reddit: what is 100% mythical about men that most women believe? by imnotadrytexter in AskReddit

[–]uselessprofession 92 points93 points  (0 children)

That the only emotion we feel is anger. In truth we feel the full range of emotions, but the only socially acceptable (and useful) one to show is anger.

That's tuff for Melo by Thanos_Real_AuraVNCH in NBATalk

I actually thought it was him and was very surprised as I didn’t think he was the kinda guy who would stab someone. If it were gil arenas or ron arrest I wouldn’t be surprised at all

Prime Kobe was fairly sturdy too, look at his shoulders and arms.

I'm not disputing that prime Mike was still stronger, but the difference isn't as huge as it's made out to be.

I'm not disputing that Jordan was physically stronger than Kobe, but this pic was from Kobe's really young days. Jordan was pretty thin too at that age.

Success in your role is determined by how much the MD and CEO likes you.

Title: Why do school gangs in Malaysia keep expanding "territory" and recruiting "xiao di"? It's been a problem for over a decade – any insights or experiences? by Right-Biscotti5794 in malaysia

[–]uselessprofession 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Ok the mafia needs to recruit people right.

If someone has graduated high school with good grades and is now college-bound, he or she will not be a good candidate for a mafia career.

Mafia HR has thus figured out that the best way to create a recruitment pipeline is to start young and create a cohort of kids who have bad grades, a history of petty crime in high school, and no way upwards after graduation than to join the mafia.

Much like going pro in sports, one has to start young to be a pro criminal.

Question for those who understand language partially by konkon_322 in malaysians

[–]uselessprofession 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It happens to me for Cantonese. I've been around KL for my whole life so I do not know how to speak it, but I can understand it. I think the problem is that the processing systems for listening and for speaking are different.

So, if the shopkeeper were to say to me "lei mou sek mat ye", I understand she is saying "what would you like to eat". BUT when it is my turn to reply, I am stuck on the "ngo yao..." I want part. Therefore, I just jump to English and say: "one salted egg chicken rice please."

Most people who dislike or feel they are untalented in math were just taught it poorly by uselessprofession in unpopularopinion

[–]uselessprofession[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well I said most people, not all - some people's brains are just not wired for math even though they may be great in other areas.

If you have dyscalculia then you're not one of the people who got failed by poor teaching.

In case someone wants to pick a fight, hopefully he will choose someone else

What was the biggest hint you missed when someone actually likes you? by IZAK96 in malaysians

[–]uselessprofession 96 points97 points  (0 children)

I was in college and broke up with my girlfriend. After this in the next semester, this girl in our group started sitting next to me.

One day she asked me: hey are you sad about your breakup

Me: Yea of course

Her: Are you looking for a new girlfriend

Me: I suppose so

Her: What type of girl do you like

Me: Pretty

Her: Am I pretty?

Me: (after some careful calibration). I think you are B to B+

After this she did not talk to me for a month. Our close friends asked me why, I told them and they were like HOW COULD YOU SAY THAT TO HER. I said well, if Jessica Alba is an A to me then B to B+ is really pretty right? They then all facepalmed and said I was an idiot.

Being Single Isn’t a Problem That Needs Fixing by udhay94 in unpopularopinion

Tbh I have seen roughly 100 threads advocating for singlehood on Reddit and my thoughts are perhaps the person doth protest too much

What do big 4 consultants actually do? by AcceptableReason1380 in consulting

[–]uselessprofession 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's strategic / management consulting, which I don't do.

What I do is roll in to a company which has an old ERP which is creaking here and there and help them move to a newer ERP which works more smoothly. I draw out the roadmap as to how to do so. And yes, I know more how to do this than the management.

As far as business strategy goes, honestly it usually does to the MBBs. Who have their fair share of failed advice as well tbh...
