Just a below average idiot that mostly comments for one of 3 reasons:

Catharsis, expressing exasperation over the general state of things.

Looking to make someone laugh.

Self deprecation.

    I was always pretty interested in geology, but I knew that the only secure work would be for oil companies so I never went for the degree…

    I was always really interested in gems and minerals, but admiring them isn’t a job, and photography in that field is insanely specialized and not exactly a reasonable goal to shoot for, so I never got that degree…

    I was also always really interested in astronomy, but there’s literally no work in that field at all so I didn’t go for the degree…

    I never “found myself” because all of my interests either has you working for “the enemy” or there just weren’t any jobs to be had. Now I’m stuck working in a factory and I have an upcoming job that’s for the Israeli military…












  • Every article has the potential to be the first one someone is seeing. I think your post has within it an assumption that the same people read all the articles over and over. Even if some large percentage of the people reading it have already read previous articles there is some value in knowing “this is still happening, wow” in regard to Tesla, or “so that’s the stage of the case against Luigi were at now, ok.”

    In a way it’s like finding new trees in the same forest.

    I crossed out the end because half way through writing I forgot you weren’t talking about new information lol




  • “Coworker 4 - talking too much in general about any topic (they would just prefer I shut up tbh unless there is zero work)”

    I am this person lol without knowing them at all I can say at least for this type of person I think the best thing to do is just be direct about work stuff, get to the point right away after the initial pleasantries of initiating the conversation. If they’re anything like me they might actually dislike conversation for similar reasons that you feel anxious. I just don’t have much to say other than strictly work related business and it stresses me out to be stuck in a “meaningless” conversation.

    If coworker 1 really is “a bitch” then there isn’t all that much you can do, just treat her similar to coworker 4 and just accept that she might be judging you for stupid reasons. That’s more of a “her problem” than a you problem. As they say “you can’t make everyone like you.” but that doesn’t have to mean there’s anything “wrong” with you, some people just don’t mesh well.
