43 Insider Secrets From Various Jobs That You’re Not Supposed To Know, But Are Industry Standards

As it should be. FAFO. Behave yourself.

LGBTQ+ folks need to be extra careful when traveling. Major prison time or even un-aliving in some countries- just for being yourself or being with your significant other.

Everytime I advice people on how to change their password I tell them to NOT mutter it

By now, OP should be a rich retired janitor.

My daughter used to work in a office where employees HAD to change their passwords every ( I think) 8 weeks

I live alone, so even if I wrote passwords on a sticky note no-one but me would see them.

I've heard a tipp, how to make relatively strong passwords, different for each application. Let's say, two passwords, one for the Funtel phone company, one for the Mad magasine account (neither exists.) Pick a sentence from your favourite book/tale/poem. Like "All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe." Pick the first letter of every word=>AmwtbAtmro Now add a number, like when it was published =>AmwtbAtmro1871. Now we have the base of the password, feel free to add (with a special character) whichever account belongs to it: AmwtbAtmro1871@FTPC and AmwtbAtmro1871@MM. You can even restore this type of password by googling the original source. BTW, do NOT use this example password.

But we have to get our politicians from somewhere.

High schoolers get a "socialized" diploma. Meaning that they leave school with their class, but they don't know s**t. Heaven forbid that we should hire more teachers and have decent class sizes, allow them to teach what kids need and teach kids in the way each of them learn best, have kids progress at their own pace instead of artificially putting them in grades and promoting them without having learned anything.

Is this an issue anywhere else besides the US?

Same. Im in my fifties and can only do addition, subtraction and division. How the f**k did i ever graduate?????!!!!!

And I am breaking down just thinking of it.

I've always had the vet come to my home and held my dog in my arms. It's a horrible thing to have to do, but it's being done to ease their suffering and, for me, that's been keeping them where they feel safe and loved. However, I appreciate that I've been fortunate enough to be able to afford to do that. I couldn't not be with them in their last moments.

this is the most heartbreaking thing ive read

The opposite is worse. Much worse. Animal torturers who cry copious fake tears in order to get their ab*sed animals returned to them. Ab*sed animals are returned immediately to their abusers. To go through more t*****e.

This is so sad.

Last century, I did maintenance on a system that had a paper tape reader. The reader was not used much. The reader light bulb burned out, order a replacement through The System / supply. About a week later, coworker was in the base auto store, noticed some bulbs on a rack that looked just like the reader bulb. She bought a two pack for a dollar. We checked the specs, good match. Installed the bulb, reader works. I was sent to supply to cancel the order. They call up the order, bulb listed for something like $5, but was unavailable. Because the system the reader was in was marked as priority (the whole system was priority), the supply system changed the order to the next higher assembly, which was the reader head assembly, some $300. Unavailable, next higher assembly, the entire paper tape reader, thousands of dollars. Unavailable, next higher, six million dollar system. Do I get credit for saving the US Air Force $6M? Hah!

In some cases it should be though. E.g. the online agreements are purposefully written to be hard to understand, ridiculously long, and as boring as possible. No reasonable person will read a user agreement as long as War and Peace to access an article, use a simple website etc. So in these cases it should be a valid argument that the company is fully aware that only one in a million users actually know what they agree to, and is actively doing everything to keep it that way.

I got into an automobile accident a couple of months ago, swapped some paint, pretty obvious that it was the other guy's fault. His insurance contacted me, requested that I go to their website to provide some information. The page pops up, long list of terms and conditions, some are giving up various rights. Nope, I did not go any further.

In the EU, you are legally protected from a lot of bad things hidden in the stuff that nobody reads.

Hmm, it occurred to me that thousands of want-to-be writers will now use AI to 'write' the Great [insert country here] Novel. Think of all those poor assistant editors that have to read the first five pages, then declare the work unfit.

It may, however, be easier to pick up, as writing skills can (to a certain degree) be obtained from reading books and reinforced through writing assignments in school. In the schools I've been to, writing finds its way into every corner of the curriculum while other arts are relegated to electives. You get a bit of a head start that way.

Newsflash: people with "dark" personality disorders are PEOPLE and not snickering cartoon villains.

I've learned, after long practice, to act like a normal human being. Or maybe I am a normal human being. Who knows?

This just comes out of learning so much more about people. Friend has a very rare disorder. Correction, HAD a very rare disorder. She isn't cured, they're just finding it in more and more people so the 'rare' level has changed to pretty rare. Same for more people getting diagnosed with things like ADHD, just diagnosing people who were previously not (me included!). Oh, does it explain so much! I may have an even 'rarer' genetic mutation. Or, seeing how these things go, they've just started finding people with it as they've just discovered the mutation. Rare today, less so tomorrow.

My shrink DEFINITELY has some diagnoses. He's a weird dude. 😂

Newsflash: We're all f'd up.

Regardless of age level
