I genuinely believe everyone should serve some sort of customer service role at least once in their life.

Thank you for answering the one Mister i didn’t recognize.

That is a sweet sentiment.

Let’s do some math, shall we?

Average person takes 12-20 breaths per minute. 0.05 × 12 = 60 cents a minute on the low end.

0.6 × 60 = $36/hr at minimum.

I was initially gonna say the steps one, but $36/hrs minimum just to exist? That sounds kinda tempting…

I’m gonna play them a song on the world’s smallest violin.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.

If you like video essays and video games, I can suggest The Tarnished Archeologist. He does deep lore dives into FromSoft games (Dark Souls, Elden Ring, etc.) using real world archeological techniques and insights, and draws parallels with real world civilizations.

Even if you aren’t into FromSoft games, his videos are worth it for the real world archeological parallels alone.

Full speed ahead, tell her how you feel. It can only end in two ways:

1. Your dream becomes a premonition and you live happily ever after.

2. She tells you she doesn’t feel the same way and it ends there, awkwardly or not.

Speaking from experience. I had a crush on this one girl and I just couldn’t get her out of my mind. I decided to do something about it and asked her out. She said no and that was the end of it.

Don’t be afraid to be awkward.

Edit: If this truly is an impossible situation (you or the instructor are already in committed relationships) then I agree with everyone else telling you to find another instructor.

OR

Still do what I said but try to reconcile your feelings for her, with her. Also speaking from experience here. If she is a dance instructor, she is probably no stranger to having her pupils develop feelings for her.

Then you have to occluded the vessel before removing the needle, unless you have one of those fancy self-occluding cannulas.

American companies fucked around, and now they’re finding out.

I’m so glad I’m not the only person that gets the same “theme park” vibes from MMOs. It really takes me out of it when someone is doing the same quest as me but is a few steps ahead so they trigger a unique animation or dialogue from the quest giver, and then I experience the same animation or dialogue a few minutes later. Kinda like waiting in line for a ride but you can hear or see some parts of the ride as you progress through the line.

Cautionary tale?

That dog is doing CPR all wrong.

It’s a problem free philosophy

We are not ok with this, but changing the way it works is a herculean task. The people that it currently works for are very invested in keeping it that way.

From what I understand, German people are very serious and value efficiency in the workplace above all else. Or so the common stereotype goes anyway.

That’s a wailder. OP was thinking of a waitress that works with locks.

Can you explain what that means, and what the other guy said please?

I thought this story was going somewhere else based on the headline.

Rub without rhythm, and you won’t attract the worms.
