- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 1 week ago:
That’s also true :)
Sometimes for example hotels even if they are big chains, prefer to see a face. - Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 1 week ago:
Obviously not every job is open to people who show up, but if you just want any job - any small (mon and pop) store will be impressed.
Honestly I saw some job applications that peope would not believe… - Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 1 week ago:
The respect is the key word. Nowadays most people don’t give a shit. So when you do, you stand out. And if you treat someone with courtesy they will be much more favorably towards you.

I believe that asking respectfully won’t hurt. And if you are lucky you can get ahead of people who do not show up.

It’s highly depends on a situation. But generally speaking it does work in a lot of situations.
You want work? Clean up, print a dozen resumes - apply online (if they have a website), then go and show up in the physical location. You will be noticed waaay more than a silent application.
You want to solve a service issue: even with big probiders atnt, T-Mobile there is a chance that a corporate store manager can do something.
Sometimes even between offices it can help if you show up in addition to the regular channels.
Being proactive, clean and respectful can take you long way. - Comment on what can I do at my workplace during downtime? 1 month ago:
Get some audio books / tts books / podcasts and craft away. You could even start etsy.
Easy to put away and clean crafts: crochet (amigurumi), knitting, needle felting, tatting, embroidery (cross stitch), hand sewing (English paper pieceing), sketching… There has to be more that I can’t recall… Macrame needs too much space. - Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Happiness is weird and different for each culture. If you have time I do recommend this Ted talk about the science of happiness.
If you feel happy while reading or fishing in a creek or risking your life free climbing - those things are all valid. Tho the last one in my mind isn’t really sane and 100% healthy mind.
The only thing is not acceptable is when some twisted people get joy from others suffering. But technically speaking their happiness is real - even if they are not fit to be part of society.

Depends on how much complaining the OP does. If he is always moping about girls then he has no right to tell the parents to butt out. Because he is burdening them with negativity - so they have the right to try make things better.
If he mentioned it once in six months in passing, now that’s a different matter. - Comment on We constantly have spit in our mouth 100% of the time but if we were made to drink any amount of our spit it'd be disgusting. Why? 1 year ago:
You are swallowing that saliva during the day. Usually we make 0.5 and 1.5 liters daily (for us measurements 2 to 4.2 cups). And that needs to go somewhere. And it is very important part of our oral hygiene too.

To add to the ‘canned answers’ here is one more:
As non medication, Magnesium has a muscle relaxation effect. With a big cup of water before going to sleep it could help falling asleep. (Tho make sure you are using the right kind of magnesium pill that actually gets absorbed into the body) - Comment on I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy? 1 year ago:
To make things worse, Vegas now have triple 0 roulette tables. Three zeros in a row. In the same place. Do not play Roulette if you want to win. The only bet in a casino isn’t to the casinos favor is on Craps and it’s called ODDS. But to get to able to play it you have to vin against 1.41% house edge first. And it is capped about 10x or 5x of original bet.
If you want to have the best odds against a casino that is hard work and not solid strategy. Counting cards can make money but honestly the amount of work it requires - you are better on the stock market or even in crypto.
Do not gamble against the casino.
The only reason to gambe is to have fun and safe risk with money you decided to spend and to never see again.
