I used to walk downtown from my office for lunch every day, and every day I ran into the same problem, the high school crowd was heading back from their own lunch at the same time, so I spent the whole walk swimming against the current. Most of these kids have no spatial awareness. They'd walk shoulder to shoulder with their friends, taking up the entire sidewalk. Eventually I started stopping dead in my tracks right in front of them, forcing them to walk around me.
To this day I'll preach the same rule, be polite and fall in front of or behind your friend so oncoming foot traffic can get by unimpeded. Otherwise, you're just a selfish dickhead.
I never get road rage. But I ABSOLUTELY get pedestrian rage. Getting stuck behind some slowpokes in a narrow hallway is absolute agony for me; I GOTTA walk at my normal speed
Lol first I've heard of rivalry about sourness. Yes, warheads are pretty dang sour... but as I understand it, getting sourer means really risking damage to your teeth.
I worked part time at a restaurant and I saw guy chugged three fucking glasses of water just during the first minute he was there. By the end he ended up asking for around 7 refill and Iâve never seen a dude be so hungry for water.Â
I have only progressed in Silksong this far because I bribed the fleas to chase Moorwing away, and then found that speedrunners found a way to get around Sister Splinter. That wasn't so hard. I would much rather do some tough and somewhat frustrating platforming than the alternative. I've plumbed the depths of Sinner's Road and fought my way out of the Slab, but GOSH DARN IT, do I dislike boss battles. I am currently sitting on a random zerg rush in Hunter's March, because I have momentarily given up on the Widow.
I tried to do the sister splinter skip for fun. It took me forever to get it. I cannot imagine a world where just fighting the boss isnât easier/faster lmao.
I love how much hyper-specific rage is conveyed in this image lmao. Bro's crashing out at the Nintendo Wii screen that tells you to take breaks every so often.
It love how differently this could be interpreted depending on your background as a gamer / where you see this. I'm a massive souls & soulslike gamer (addicted to them) and saw this one in a souls community.
The "take a break" thing is a real advice I gave some people in the community because it can truly make a difference. You can get too angry at losing to a frustrating boss over and over again that you do worse and worse. Taking a break helps you cool down and helps your brain reset.
This is also a thing in competitive games, it's called tilting. You'll sometimes see people complain about how they tilted from Diamond rank down to Gold or something. Getting mad at a game is just gonna make you play worse 99% of the time.
The amount of times I got stuck on a boss, and stepped away for a day only to come back and immediately whoop it's ass with a clear mind lol. It genuinely does help
When someone is upset they rarely respond well to people telling them to chill, even if taking a break from a difficult game that is beginning to upset you is a great way reflect and perform better once you have a level head.
Which kinda illustrates how off-the-rails the creator of that wojak was, like they were told to take a break and calm down and they took it as some kind of personal attack.
It is. It's specifically from an episode of RuPaul's Drag Race where she made a virtual appearance and everyone made memes about her looking like an HR director on a Zoom call.
Man, I have panic disorder so I've had to do my job through a panic attack several times. It's gotten easier as I've gotten older and learned how to survive it, but it's a hell I wouldn't wish on anyone and I'm always afraid people can tell something is wrong with me during it.
Ok, so I know literally everyone is having trouble getting a job, but Iâve got a story with some bullshit.
I work in healthcare. Specifically respiratory therapy, and during the beginning of Covid19 I had left my full time job to take on another job that unfortunately had fallen through.
So long story short I was applying around and was trying to get a position working alongside patients with covid19 at a local community hospital via a 3rd party company. Which if you donât know, is super common in this field, think of it like a temp agency. Hospitals hire outside companies to fill the gaps in their staffing ratios.
So they get me on board and start doing all the hiring process crap. I turn in my information, my license, I do background checks. They have me go do drug tests, pee in a cup. I am getting a paycheck to do training modules on my computer at home so I can be ready to go once I get my start date.
So finally we get everything checked off the to do list, and I have another phone conversation with this 3rd party company Iâve been working with for weeks now. âOk great, now we just need to wait for this stay at home order to end so we can get you in the hospital for trainingâ.
âŠ..
Never figured out why the hell they hired me in first place. I ended up working several other jobs instead during lockdown because obviously my job was an âessentialâ role. Truly baffling what goes on in the mind of some of these peopleâs minds
I dated a recruiter once. It was literally an entire year before I ever heard him mention hiring anyone. I actually asked him if he got a promotion or position change or something because I just didn't think it was something he did.
I remember when me and my sister were boogie boarding with my dad and a good friend of his. They did the responsible thing and tried to send us to shore asap before we got stung, even they had to bite the bullet in the process. Their efforts succeeded with me, but unfortunately my sister wasnât so lucky. I can still see her on that wave, screaming in pain all the way to shore.
Diem and skullmug are unironically some of the best online animation and comedy, i learned about them both through tiktok and both of them (but especially diem) have become my faves. Who be profen?
I work in a greenhouse, there are several people who have in depth knowledge and strong opinions on soil, one of them literally takes weekly soil samples. Holy shit
That first one is spot on though, Casinos will literally throw you out for cheating if you actually use your head and try to win at BlackJack instead of pretending the deck has an infinite number of every card at all times.
They won't throw you out for cheating, they'll simply say "sir, we don't want you as a customer, please leave". they don't call it cheating they simply call it house rights.
Yeah. Casinos aren't some Fae bargain where you can win riches by solving their puzzle. They're a business, allegedly there for people's entertainment, and have no obligation to let you keep playing.
I mean I wasn't saying they would literally grab you by the shoulders and toss you out the door.
I'm saying they'll force you to leave for actually being good at the game they offer and claiming the award they promised you would receive for winning. Why offer a game if an essential rule is that players have to actively pretend they don't have access to information which is readily available? That's the multi-million dollar establishment asking the customer to go easy on them at a game they chose to host.
Counting cards is not illegal and very much allowed so long as you're not using a machine or outside assistance to do it. There will be a threshold where they will say "You're winning too much". But all they do is ban you from playing black jack, you're free to play any other games.
Animal characters turning into humans or having a human form (usually pretty much used permanently) really pisses me off. Animals are so cool, and most stories already have 2 zillion human characters, give us some varietyâŠ
What about the dragon who rules a kingdom and doesn't want his subjects to feel intimidated while speaking with him so he makes a human child simulacrum, but sometimes he also wants to do combat as a human when said combat is in spaces to small for his large dragon body so he also creates an adult human simulacrum (oh no, he's hot!) so he can go join the fight to save his sister from the king of the void?
That second image perfectly describes some guy I knew in high school. He would not SHUT UP about his girlfriend EVER. Most of his talk was also sexual talk. At a certain point, you begin to question if the guy even has a girlfriend, or if he pretends he does and makes that his whole personality. The guy also told me I had a flat ass when I got up from my seat one time for some reason. The dude had some serious issues lmao
The cat survived but it apparentmy cooked somthing in his brain and for the rest of his life it walked "sideways" and needed the wall for supporrt or he'd fall
The first one annoys me. I work as a dealer. Dealers donât care. Pit bosses donât either as long as youâre not loudly announcing that youâre doing it
Dealers and pit bosses at YOUR casino don't care. I've heard plenty of reports (most from reputable sources like newspapers) of people being kicked out for counting cards (in their head).
Friendly reminder that counting cards is 100% legal as long as you don't use a machine to help you.
fun fact: card counting isn't against the rules if you use only your brain and not some external device but it makes you win more than it's worth it for them, so they will still kick you out and escort you to your car so you don't get robbed as soon as you exit
because they don't want you winning too much, so they will kick you out, but since you actually didn't do anything that broke the rules you can keep your earnings
Can someone create a soyjack alarm clock that says something about defaulting the alarm to midnight instead of something sensible like noon or 10am or 2pm when you accidentally click a small button on itÂ
That first one is correct, I must agree. Sure it's more the casino owner, but yeah. Like how they act as though card counting is illegal..sorry for paying attention?!
