Worse, all the hot beverages from economy class will spill onto the business class passengers in front of the plane. Can't do that for those big-paying frequent flyers.

Time for a petition to have the planes descend/fall tail-first in emergency settings to avoid this scenario.

Read the room; fuck that.

When a coworker of mine was going through it and sounding like he was depressed, I basically called him out on it but focused on giving tips for positive self talk.

1 is instead of saying something directly self-deprecating, say something positive but however sarcastic you want to be. Instead of "Why am I so stupid" for making a mistake, you should be saying "wOw, I aM sO sMaRt". It satisfies both the need to insult yourself and for compliments and is supposed to be a way to initially break that cycle of negative talk. I imagine that whole trend of slang being used ironically until it's used legitimately works similarly.

2 is to force him to give himself a specific, genuine compliment. When he's complaining about his bowling skill, go "Hey! Friend, give yourself a compliment. Say how good you are at this other task/sport." (Ideally he'll go "hell yeah I'm amazing at that!" But I don't know you or your friend)

Like I said, this worked to help pull a friend of mine out of it, and is something I try to keep in mind for myself as well, but everyone is different.

A more general universal truth is that it's a lot harder to break a bad habit if you don't have a good habit to replace it with. Encourage good habits and it will be easier to discourage bad ones.

I agree with the people saying the best thing to do is join group activities that interest you. But don't go with the goal of finding someone to date, go with the intention of having fun and hopefully making some friends.

Then go from there. If you meet someone you have chemistry with, great. If not, you've made some friends and enjoyed a hobby. It should help you relax and develop some social confidence.

Some things I'll never forget, I'll take it to my grave and beyond. However those are the things I'll never share with another human being.

My dad told me that sleeping straight instead of curled up would make me taller. lol

Yeah, no kidding. I have 3”x5” cards on my desk for this reason. Put a little circle next to the task, and tick it off when done.

I saw a comment from someone who was told by a doctor that over-exercising that area could give them a uti.

I used to be able to watch entire seasons in 1-2 days, but not anymore :( an episode or two is all we have time for most nights

Pay attention to the new cars out there and you will see them everywhere. Namely because most vehicles these days are optimized for the lowest drag coefficient and therefore tend to have a deep slope windshield and that in turn necessitate the need for a corner window.

Thanks! :)

So true! However many parts you want and have time for.

I observed this too. The thing is to remind yourself everytime you fall into overthinking. Works 2/10 for me

Sounds like OP flew on regional/budget carriers for short hauls.

I’ll pitch in:

• if you had status with an airline before Covid and you’re at risk of losing it in a WFH world ask customer service to extend it a bit longer if you anticipate any travel again in the future. Worked for me on 3/4 carriers, though my expectations were lower for the American carrier who tends to money grub their patrons.

This seems to actually work!

I don't want to have to rant to my church group Wednesday night about you saying that unGodly word.

"It feels distracting for your conversation partner." What a generalizing fucking statement there, OP. What, someone in a professional setting fling in an F bomb in conversation with you? I feel distracted when my "conversation partner" is too sensitive to hear a little colorful language that isn't directed to them.

Your next LPT is going to be something about not hitting someone in the mouth on company property.

Lmao, delete this dumb post. Seems like HR did the right thing

The tooth fairy pays you, not the other way round. I thought that was common knowledge.

Sounds like a cool way to have your vehicle stolen or moved into by a homeless person

A degree does not magically transform you into a good employee, nor does it automatically launch you into a higher strata of pay.

What will carry you through your career is good skills.

To be fair, my primary computer is a laptop, because I travel a lot for work. I have an external hard drive that I don't take with me when I travel, a webcam that I unplug when I'm not using it, an Xbox controller and a flight stick (which I unplug when not in use). Then, I have a USB KVM switch so I can connect my keyboard, mouse, and headset to both my personal and work computers.
