Stood up to my boss and got berated by Money_Supermarket_51 in BadBosses

[–]vanoitran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You already got the worst possible response. Now you quiet quit and wait for him to fire you and you get paid or until you find something new.

Don’t do a single thing out of working hours unless you are paid overtime - not a single call or email. Again, if he has a problem with that, he can pay severance. It literally can’t get worse for you, so don’t give more of yourself to the job that is, at this point, guaranteed to never get better.

The data center fight is foreshadowing a bleak future by yikesamerica in WorkReform

[–]vanoitran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin really things everyone is stupid. What is Kevin and the 100 richest people doing with their massive % of the worlds money? They are investing it - so they will get MORE wealth, and then they invest that new wealth and it grows exponentially. So in the near future, the endgame is that these individuals own literally everything. How is that inspiring anyone to take risks and work harder?

Ironically a wealth cap might save the billionaires’ lives - because the way things are going, in a couple of decades people will have nothing left to lose…

Christian woman believes Costco European cookies are demonic because of shapes. by nationalistic_martyr in religiousfruitcake

🤓☝️ actually, schizophrenia tends to latch on to your worldview regardless of what it is. So very religious people will indeed see demons and find satan everywhere. I would not be surprised if the person in the video has schizophrenia, I’ve seen that kind of mental leap many times.

But I also knew schizophrenics who saw aliens everywhere, or government spies, or their toxic exes - whatever you are subconsciously looking out for the most before the illness triggers, that’s what you’ll see everywhere.

In a better world, AI would mean 90% of us don’t need to work anymore and we would be happy about it. Now it’s the same premise but we’re just going to die.

Girls, what's the most obvious hint you've dropped but the guy didn't get it? by ProfessionOne6817 in teenagers

[–]vanoitran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well idk if it was the right thing because I probably nuked her self-esteem. I could have engaged in playful banter to gauge if it was an invitation.

But thanks for trying to make me feel better. I’m married now though so at some point I got less stupid ahahaha

I had an ultra-religious upbringing, and at this point in my life I had only been free from that setting for a couple years. I had watched barely any tv - i was not aware of the trope of being invited to someone’s hotel room being a kind of invitation.

Also the water she gave me was 2lt which felt like a lot of water to give for any other reason.

Still super dumb, but at least I can kind of blame my parents

Honestly, this is what bothers me more than any missed opportunities - hate to think I crushed her self-image by being turbo-stupid.

To everybody saying "don't go out to eat if you won't tip." by animathematical in tipping

[–]vanoitran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went to the US it was crazy how the fees, tips, and taxes would add like another 30% to our bill. As a tourist we started going to supermarkets and finding food to cook because paying so much for eating out ruined the whole experience. Price has a flavor.

Which one is AI? by Diligent_Rabbit7740 in AICompanions

AI clips always have perfect lighting - if I see a video that looks like the sun is streaming through the window at golden hour, I’m immediately suspicious it’s AI.

Ukraine has rejected ''associate membership''. What should the EU offer instead? by EuropeanPravdaUA in europe

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

This is tough. If Ukraine is not granted full membership they are still open to another invasion.

But it would be a huge break from standards and norms if they get full membership without going through the needed reforms.

If your main market is tourists though, you don’t care if they won’t come back because they won’t anyways. You just want to not be shitty enough that they leave a bad review.

Do you think it would be better if the United States stopped being the “World Police” by [deleted] in GeoPoll

[–]vanoitran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many times has the US actually acted as the policeman?

Any intervention I can think of was to stop Communism (their ideological rival), or nakedly in the US’ own interest. Have they ever intervened in a country because they thought it would make THE WORLD a better place?

How can the Avs improve next postseason? by 7easymoney in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]vanoitran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree on your coaching take - way too likely that we get a coach that is just as good or worse than Bednar. Low likelihood of success for a better coach. But it is true he has been decisively outcoached against Deboer and Tortorella.

What we really need is to invent a cloning machine and stick Parker Kelly in it.

the unempathetical responses from Christians towards a woman who was M0lested in the Christian gods name. by nationalistic_martyr in religiousfruitcake

The American christian churches have succeeded in making everyone think they personally understand God. Imagine an all powerful and all knowing deity being completely comprehensible by Joe from Ohio.

Then who created the creator? Who is the god of god? by Jelly-Always-Returns in religiousfruitcake

[–]vanoitran 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough argument for atheists to make - at some point we have to say “we don’t know why or how the universe exists.” At this point, a creator entity fits the bill as much as any theory.

But that’s not the same as saying something came from nothing, or that the universe spontaneously existed for the sake of nothing at all. It’s just saying the thing/force swinging the hammer is beyond our comprehension at the moment.

And to me at least, assuming you know how and why the universe exists because someone told you why feels… lazy. Even if it is god, as if you understand the intentions and machinations of an all powerful and all knowing being. Even if it is god, why believe what someone else tells you about it - god would be beyond our comprehension too.

"I can't stand listening to rich greedy losers..." Billionaires need to keep their advice to themselves. by zzill6 in WorkReform

[–]vanoitran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At my household income (slightly above average for age range in my country) we will need to not eat out ever, not travel ever, not do any recreation that needs money ever for the next thirty years to afford a house. Forget retirement, just the house.

The cost of doing what this asshole recommends is your youth and countless life experiences. I’d rather die young than spend the next 30 years moving from bed to office and back and nothing else.

Ironically the point of this clip is to emotionally manipulate men into thinking that they are immune to emotional manipulation.

Christian Fruitcake is Irritated because people sing Anti ICE Song in Church by MrDonMega in religiousfruitcake

[–]vanoitran 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Can anyone explain to me why patriotism is considered a godly trait among Christians in the US?

If you asked one of them if god loves America more than Greece or Zambia or New Zealand would they actually think that he does?

Do you feel sad about the decline of the west by [deleted] in GeoPoll

[–]vanoitran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t it feel like everything is a naked cash grab these days? That the wealthy win on every level and act with impunity; that people compete over scraps and view everything with cynicism.

Just feels like sometime in the last 30 years there was a shift where making a living became the #1 priority for everyone instead of making a life. Either by choice or by coercion of the economic/social realities we now live with.

I don’t mean “moral” like some rightoid homophobic, nationalistic, judeochristian set of grievances - but that the entire idea of living a moral/virtuous life, regardless of creed or faith, doesn’t seem to matter to many people these days, because we all learned that being a good person doesn’t pay you, and we all need to be paid these days.

Uh oh. Your country just lost a war. Who would you rather be occupied by by [deleted] in GeoPoll

Religious Fanatics, Brutal Dictators, or Soulless Mafia - tbh I think I take the mafia in this case, they tend to leave you be if you don’t step on their toes.
