god_farts 375 points 2 days ago I'm sure this will be buried, but I escaped the cult I grew up in. That was also responsible for some of the worst moments of this decade since my immediate family cut contact me because they're still in the cult. But the day I left was the first time I ever felt truly free and happy. Sometimes I'm still in disbelief and occasionally a little overwhelmed by how free I am, even though it's been 7 years. I gave myself the chance to actually live my life and I wouldn't give it up for anything.

theniwokesoftly 17.2k points 2 days ago edited 2 days ago 2 6 Awards from car... Took myself to emergency services rather than driving my car into a tree like I wanted. Sounds depressing but I'm super proud that I asked for help. A year later I joined a roller derby league. I'm fighting through it all.

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!
