It’s also possible that they are empathetic, but less sympathetic. Getting through a tough time might be like, yeah that sucked real, bad and I know exactly how you feel, get over it like I did. I’ve felt this before, and it kinda goes along with how we hate to see our own weaknesses and struggles in other people. I…

I thought it was supposed to be:

Just a note, these apps are working exactly as designed. Remember, if you aren’t paying for a product, you are the product. All of these background processes are tracking you and that data is sold to advertisers. It would be nice if they were a little more battery efficient while they followed your every move, true,…

Ever been to Auto Zone, O’Reilly’s or Napa Auto Parts? Everyone there is a regular person trying to save a few bucks by buying the parts themselves. Ever wonder why these stores are always in the hood? Poor people already do all their own maintenance, it’s still expensive.

The hilarious part of hiccup remedies is that hiccups just go away on their own. Let’s say you had hiccups and they were going to go away no matter what in 5 minutes. Minute 1 you try a handstand, minute two you try lemon wedges, minute three you scare yourself, minute four your hold your breath, minute five you try…

Just like hibernating bears, make sure to build up a nice Tappen to hold in all the savings.

Let’s remember though, the other half of the battle is violence! (Also an effective but not recommended way to settle political arguments ^_^)

Mind = blown.

On top of this visual insight into body language and demeanor is also valuable! Ever had conference calls with someone who had a thick accent, and you ended up thinking they were an idiot? Then you go on to meet them in person and seeing their body language and interaction gives you a whole new perspective on their…

Any and every loan needs collateral. With a bank that collateral is your credit, or an asset like a car or house. With friends and family? that collateral is your relationship. Lending money to friends and family is putting your relationship on the line, every time. If you can afford it, just give the money away, if…

Great Article! The part about lying is tricky though, as it does represent a high-risk, high-reward situation. You should lie about “fit” and “passion” in basically every interview. Oh I use the product every day and your meaningless corporatespeak values really inspire me as I too am passionate about leveraging…

I have an unpopular opinion. Add MSG to this and it goes from being yummy to amazing. I swear you put that stuff on every day food and people think you are Gordon Ramsey-Lagasse-Puck. I know MSG is the worst thing since vaccines, but damn it tastes good!

Love this tip. I recently went through the recruiting process, and ended up not taking the job, but this would have been a great way to get additional insight into the role and team. Will definitely use next time!

My favorite line in this article is High-Performers are Strategists. Not all work is worth going the extra mile on. If you are consistently good enough, and when all eyes are on you, you put in the extra effort you can make huge leaps in status at work. It’s a bad strategy to slack off or think you can get away with…

Remember, everything mental is at the same time physical. Mental disorders are just as physical as bone diseases, even if we have a hard time realizing it. Just as you can learn walk with a knee brace, you can learn to treat and strengthen your ability to cope with a mental illness, but the illness is no less real…

I learned this backwards, and learned it from drinking. Naturally I’m socially anxious and found that I only was able to communicate with random people after a few drinks. Was I suddenly getting more handsome and more charming after a couple shots? Unlikely. Mostly I had just stopped deciding what to say and just…

So.....while I agree you probably don’t need to sterilize these types of devices, basically everything you’ve said in this comment is wrong. You sterilize equipment in general to prevent colonies of harmful bacteria which have grown on a surface from interacting with humans. Bacteria present in a baby’s mouth, hands,…

I don’t think it even needs to rise to the level of passion, just a little enthusiasm will do. That’s kind of what small talk is right? Probing until you find a topic that generates some mutual enthusiasm. Nice weather we’re having. Oh yeah, beautiful, would be a good day for delousing zebras. Oh! you’re into zebra…

The first step for me in improving my family relationships was independence. Independence starts with financial independence, if they don’t have control or input on your finances, that cuts out a HUGE set of negative interactions you will have with them. The next step is emotional independence. At some point as you…

I got a great deal on a Lenovo laptop with a 4k touchscreen (from kinja deals!) and I expected to never use the touchscreen also. It seemed like a gimmick, and not really something I planned on using. Surprisingly though it has been great! Any time you aren’t doing a keyboard heavy task, it’s just as easy to scroll,…
