Metlman13 3.2k points 3 days ago S Reaching the end of my 6 month chemo treatment last December. I had expected to feel beaten down and done by the end, instead I felt better than I had in years. Still haven't felt as good as I did in that all too brief period, but now I guess life has a bit more purpose. I don't feel as directionless as I did before.

Portarossa 4.8k points 3 days ago The first time I paid off all my outgoing expenses for the month by writing fiction. It's what I wanted to do ever since I was a kid, and let me tell you, boys and girls, there's not a feeling in the world like it. It's been my full-time job for about six years now, and I'm grateful every day.

ilikehotwings42 86 points 1 day ago I used to do content moderation for Xbox Live. We have full access to all the messages you send and receive. We can look at them anytime we want and dont need anyone's permission. When I would play games at home and people would be using mods on games they weren't supposed to I'd write the GT down and look into them at work. Look through their messages and confirm they were selling mods. Most people dont really seem to care about this which is fine, but think that if Xbox has all this info on you, address, credit card, messages, games played, for how long, etc... and they are just a gaming company how much more doesAmazon, FB or google have on you. You think they really dont read private messages? Of course they do, Xbox does with non reason and doesnt need your permission.

PopularElevator2 84 points 1 day ago More and more plane components are being designed, developed and tested overseas by people who never graduate college. The quality of these components are putting people at risk. I was a software engineer in aerospace. One year upper management decided to cut costs and fire all of the higher up engineers and send the jobs to India. It was fine for a while, but management kept cutting jobs and finding cheaper and cheaper labor overseas. We inspected one of the engines that were "tested" and developed in India. It worked fine until we started pushing it and it blew up and caught on fire. Another story we had an electrical engineer testing a PCB that was developed, manufactured and tested overseas. The damn board blew up in his face and he had to be taken to the hospital.

Figgywithit 59 points 1 day ago I was hired to direct Monica Lewinsky in a series of Jenny Craig commercials. The Enquirer kept calling me for details. Couldn't talk. The details are they paid her a lot of money. She got halfway to her goal weight and we ran a spot showing her progress. No one called because no one wanted to be on the plan that Monica Lewinsky was on. But Saturday Night Live parodied my commercial.

simjanes2k 65 points 1 day ago I'm late to the party, but I've got a good one. I ran computer forensics in the 90s, and had a client who needed data recovery for discovery in the lawsuit against the tobacco companies. Something like 60pb of mostly text to OCR, recover deleted mail archives, all kids of fun stuff. I had two takeaways from this stuff: 1. Executives at tobacco companies knew exactly how deadly their product was. 2. They didn't target kids as much as you think.

Lizaderp 208 points 1 day ago Paul Allen, co founder of Microsoft, was fond of making music. He has his own recording studio with an amazing setup. There's a waterfall that runs from the top floor to the ground floor outside the mixing room. But in his home, in his bedroom surrounded by stacks of books, he kept an electric guitar and an amp in front of a window overlooking Lake Washington. And attached to that setup was a MacBook. xcasandraXspenderx 8 points 20 hours ago Man that sounds nice PhilPlays 90 9 points 17 hours ago And attached to that setup was a MacBook. На!

Hepcat10 174 points 1 day ago I worked for a campaign fora woman running for Congress. Right from the start, I had to sign a NDA stating I would not talk about what we did for ten years. I was still in the middle of watching The West Wing, and I thought, "I'm gonna be witness to the back room deals that shape our nation. I'm going to see exactly how things work from the inside!" All we did was make phone calls asking for money for the campaign and stuff envelopes.

kinarevex 339 points 1 day ago I quit thus my nda expired. I did debt collection. SUPER SHADY. The company was screwing people out of hundreds of dollars in both canada and the us. We were essentially ruining peoples credit while doing it. Management didn't see a problem. We were breaking so many collection laws. We were falsely reporting to the credit bureau. We were making deals to not report bad credit if the client paid more than they owed. We were calling 8-15 times a day. We were ignoring cease n desist verbals and writtens. It was such a s--- show. On top of that, we were not allowed to go bathroom or drink water outside of our breaks. The nda "stopped us from reporting" these instances. There was so much worse and all for minimum salary. My cousin was a superviser and i said a big f--- you and quit. Of course i reported it but nothing came of it. I work at "home furnishing specialist" call center now and i am over the moon in love with my job, my salary, my benefits. I signed an nda of course but it just pertains to clients personal info.

That's right, Drake took a wedding gig. beeps-n-boops 4.9k points 1 day ago A lot of people don't realize that major musical artists do private gigs all the time... as long as the folks hiring them can pay their rate (which is usually the same or very close as they would get for playing an arena, festival, etc.)

forlornmate 2.9k points 1 day ago I was a construction worker on Madonna's townhouse in NYC. Had to sign a nda to not reveal client. This is because it's just a normal New York neighborhood, and she didn't want anybody to know it was her house. When we had our coffee breaks, people would always stop on the sidewalk and ask whose house this is. My friends tirelessly prodded for me to disclose, but I never did! Before anyone asks, all I will say it is on the upper East Side. GodzillaSnack11 697 points 23 hours ago I use to live around the corner. I know that house. It looks good! Nice job. But i don't blame people for wanting privacy
