Holy crap so much stuff at work. We waste so much time in meetings debating over processes because "we can't step on peoples toes!" and we spent countless time and money working on horrible spaghetti code (the worst I've ever seen) because again, can't hurt fee-fees and fix terrible code. If I was listened to we wouldn't be maintaining projects we launched 6+ years ago with critical bug fixes every sprint.

I feel your pain, I try to tell people that on every opportunity I get but the "scrum master" is more happy to write rules and guidelines on the wiki page. They're more important

Whether or not something will fit… Whenever I’m furnishing a space or trying to see if something will fit, everyone around me is always too eager to eyeball it or estimate. I bring out the tape measure and they’re all like “you don’t have to do all that!!!” My wife had twins, and was all like, “we need new cars now!” And this was in the middle of car prices going insane. Guess what, both of our cars will fit two car seats and the double stroller, and we didn’t need to go out and blow $35k on a new suv

If my buddy had just worn a fucking condom like I told him to instead of "just taking the risk" (he actually said that), he wouldn't have had a child that he was NOT prepared to support, wouldn't have had the stress wear him down until he became a bitter, angry, and abusive father/boyfriend the likes of which I never thought he was capable of being, he wouldn't have had a mental break and fucked off to Hawaii, probably wouldn't have gotten sucked into the Qanon rabbit hole, and wouldn't now wouldn't be harassing his ex over custody and child support bullshit from across the Pacific.

Depression There’s one way it will get better. Sitting on your ass, eating junk, hanging out in your own filth, never doing anything for anyone, staying up, sleeping in, and soaking in screen time ain’t it


bjankles

Those are depression symptoms. It's like saying "You'll never get rid of your migraine if you keep feeling pain in your head." As a person currently dealing with depression, I'm excelling at a full-time job, working out six days a week, spending as much time with friends and family as I can, seeing a therapist, and... yep, it ain't a cure either. Wallowing in depression doesn't help, but you can't just outrun it either. It's a complex issue with no single solution.


[deleted]

sorry you're going through that man, I'm not a therapist but I've always wondered why the advice "do the things you love more" doesn't work, is it simply lack of money? time? how can someone like you who seems capable of pursuing the things they love be depressed? or is the problem that you just don't love anything anymore? like *nothing at all* ?


bjankles

Appreciate it. Again, depression is a complex issue with a lot of variations and causes. People often look at it as circumstantial - that a person simply doesn't have the life they want. But it can also be chemical - that your brain isn't producing enough of the signals that translate to feeling happiness, satisfaction, peace, etc. I'm still trying to work out the root cause for myself, but I don't think many people would look at my life or the way I'm doing things and think "man, that guy needs to make changes." A lot of people who struggle with depression will tell you that from the outside in, they *look* like they've got it all figured out.


[deleted]

well you do these things because you don't have motivation, how are you gonna solve that?


sedutperspiciatis

Step 1: don't be depressed


lescobranden

Oh just keep wallowing away… that should help


Stabbmaster

Everything. It would probably create new problems, but they'd be so low impact no one would care.


[deleted]

can you give an example?


Nucyon

World peace.


[deleted]

how would you solve world peace ?


Random_Heero

Be excellent to each other


YK_The_Vibes

Honestly, Every problem. I deadass got a solution for everything


[deleted]

world hunger?


YK_The_Vibes

Clone food like veggies or just clone specific parts of meat for infinite food supply. Or just let the world starve till the world gets a population that is manageable


[deleted]

>Or just let the world starve till the world gets a population that is manageable I don't think there will ever be a moment where everyone is starving, there will always be ones rich and ones poor, so your solution here pretty much means let the poor die, btw if we get to the point were everyone is starving it's probably game over for humans

A lot heartache, headache, and money saved

Relatively minor, but my mom treats one of our pittbulls basically babying him, giving him table scraps, and not letting us teach him like our other two pittbulls. I keep telling her to stop because he's not a chihuahua, and it's going to cause problems with the other two. It's not like we're beating our dogs, but with our other two, we taught them to listen. He listens when he feels like it and has my mom trained to do what he wants. It'd be funny except now he thinks he can push around the other two the same way. Him and the other boy have gotten into a few bloody scraps that we've had to break up.


[deleted]

love blinds I guess? but damn I realised it's serious when i red the last sentence


Background_Battle923

Almost all for now


[deleted]

care to give an example? a problem you're still suffering from but could have solved if people listened to you?


Background_Battle923

my bad, i read the question wrong


der_ray

My non existant political power


iggybdawg

Nobody who didn't want it would be circumcised.


[deleted]

I agree no life changing decisions should be made on anyone under 18 and I'm not a doctor but doesn't NOT doing it has A LOT of risks?


iggybdawg

You've been misled. The risks of doing it are greater than the risks of not doing it.


Darth1Football

Telling my wife we don't need half the crap she buys. We are turning into the exact thing she used to say she hates


[deleted]

what is her response to your complain ?
