Workplace Nonsense The General Public is getting frighteningly stupid.

21 Upvotes

Currently a manager at a restaurant in SoCal, so im already dealing with people high all the time. But the actual level of cognitive decline is getting worse week by week, especially in adults.

Number one thing is it seems people past the age of 30 just dont care to read, or dont have the skills to do so. Someone asked me dead to my face "is there any other meat on the ham and cheese omelet?" Like oh my god, id understand fully if a child asked this, but when theres a big ass picture of it, and youre a fully grown adult asking me that....

Second one is people calling to ask what time do we open. I have checked the google listing 10 times in the past month, it is fine and accurate, our hours have never changed, why are you calling me to ask the hours...when you google a place it shows you the hours literally front and center.

Lastly, and the most frustrating one, is that people can not think for themselves. They need immediate access to an answer to the simplest things, and refuse to even try to solve things for themselves. Someone walks in to the restaurant, and before even looking at the menu (im literally watching them) they ask me right away 3-4 questions "Do you guys have eggs? Can you do an omelet?? What kind of veggies do you have????" They haven't taken a single look at the menu yet. STOP DOING THIS PLEASE

Just A Rant Stop saying these things to someone trying to concieve

7 Upvotes

Please stop telling us to relax. It’s not helpful.

Also please stop saying “well maybe it isn’t meant to be, you need to prepare for that” like no crap it’s not a gurantee? Is anything in life a guarantee??

Would you tell a women who recently got pregnant, “You know you might have a miscarriage, they are really common in the first trimester, so prepare for that” NO because that’s cruel.

It amazes me how people think they have such original thoughts. You don’t think everytime my period comes I think if it will ever happen?

Stop offering your kids, “Oh you can have mine!” no I don’t want them.

And stop suggesting adoption or surrogacy.

And if it was easy for you to concieve AWESOME! But why are you telling me this as I just told you in struggling?

Where’s the empathy people.

* ALSO these conversations are usually always started by the OTHER person. Yeah no one takes joy in just randomly discussing TTC, only a handful of ppl in my life know and I wish they didn’t tbh

Just A Rant I can’t STAND the taste of Provolone

3 Upvotes

Is there any food that you swear tastes different to you than everyone else?

It’s so weird since no one seems to get this except me. 99% of the time I love or can at least understand why people like a certain food or the taste. There is one exception that I don’t understand and neither does anyone else apparently.

When people describe the taste of Provolone to me, it almost feels like people are describing a completely different thing. They describe it as “Mild, Buttery, a subtle sweetness.” That is not remotely what I taste at all. Provolone has a very similar taste to genuine vomit in my mouth. Almost like stench I can taste. It overpowers whatever I’m eating it on. Today at work, they made paninis with provolone. No one else even noticed the provolone taste but it was the only thing I tasted.

Everyone else thinks I’m crazy. They say something’s wrong with my tongue. They might be right since no one else seems to have this reaction. Anyone else feel like this? Have you ever had a food that you swear you’re not tasting the same thing as everyone else?

Just A Rant My male classmates keep harassing me and I'm sick of it.

7 Upvotes

What the title says. I'm a college student studying engineering, and there's this group of guys that sit at the back of the class and have started to bother me a lot. Every single day.

I go to class, sit down quietly, minding my own business (I and my best friend are massive introverts). And then these guys will sit behind us and start calling me names. Usually I tell them to shut up or threaten to report them to the authorities but it doesn't work because deep down they and I know damn well the authorities won't do shit.

Today in our linear algebra class he used a word which made me lose my temper and I shouted at him in front of the class. And get this, the professor started glaring at ME as if I had done something wrong. The words he was using were loud enough for her to hear, and she could have said something to him but chose to give me the death stare.

I literally was so angry I felt angry tears come out of my eyes but I composed myself because I didn't want to cry in front of everyone. Now I'm sitting in the library writing this and holding back tears, again.

For some more context, there was a conflict in our batch due to which my classmates do not like me and my best friend since one of our previous semesters. I was the class rep at the time and these guys had organised a mass bunk that I wasn't a part of since I didn't want to upset the professor who had high expectations from me (not everyone has the guts to participate in a mass bunk) and some girls of our class had a fight with my best friend. So they do not like us. So even if there was some sort of intervention, they'd prolly take those guys' side instead of ours.

I'm so upset rn I've started hating coming to college.

Just A Rant Reddit/game related rant

• Upvotes

So basically, I joined a subreddit for a game I like, and a lot of people ask for advice on trades they were offered, such as whether it is a good trade to do or if it is possible to complete. I commented, "Oh, that item is pretty rare, and since the season is changing, the demand for those items will go up, so it is going to be unlikely for you to get the items you asked for, especially since many of the owners want overpays." Mind you, their item's demand is not that great, and someone downvoted my comment! I do not mind getting downvoted that much, but seriously? I gave honest advice on what they should do and someone downvoted me. I have been seeing a lot of people getting downvoted for no reason, I do not know if it is just the game's community being jerks or if it is just the Reddit community...

Mental Health it seems like i can't let go of an imaginary vision of my life before a levels results was out. help...?

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, this is gonna be long and really circular because I genuinely think I don't really have anyone in real life to rant abt this to properly, and so I bet my story on reddit.

I was supposed to go to a really top uni with the requirements of A*AA to study Psychology, however, juggling 4 subjects and having so many things happening inbetween exams i've only received A*AB. Now i am in a particularly great uni studying Chemistry, it's not that i really hate it- it is just very hard and was not my interest. sadly, i dont have the privilege to choose as i am an international student with parents who are not willing/cant afford to let me go on a gap year to retake and reapply.

I am very much okay compared to results day, but i just realized i'm bitter with people who have effectively ruined my exams for me (other than myself, of course) for going to the uni they wanted/doing an adjacent subject that they wanted. One of the girls started a long-term argument with me from December last year instead of talking it through like a normal adult, forcing our mutual friends to pick sides and naturally they all chose her because she chose to publicly left the class we were on together with while crying and telling them only her side about this "argument" and made me feel very isolated in my psychology class. Nevertheless, i persevered and accepted the fact that i can only cling onto my other group of friends, boyfriend, and feel as though people in my psychology class don't hate me for the rest of 4 months i was studying and when i was in my boarding school (yes, the school was tiny so almost everybody knew what happened and she got a twin brother who's close to all the popular guys so it was very hard for me to ignore the sneer looks and comments). She then spread a video of me and my boyfriend lying down on a bean bag outside of my boarding house right next to each other, causing people to call me a b*tch and laughed at me- this was the during the sutdy leave where i had nowhere else to go but stay at school. when confronted, she instead turned it against me and said that she endured so many therapy sessions and pain because "i broke the friendship in a very hurtful way" when all i did was text her "Hi J, I don't think i'm comfortable to be close friends with you anymore, but i will stay cordial and friendly when needed. this "argument" made me realize that we might have differences that i can't really tolerate to have as a friendship." This whole situation spanned until May this year and stupidly I let this get over me and making me not focus on my studying.

It wasn't just this girl, but i also lost 3-5 other girl friendships because they couldn't respect my boundaries, and when i tried to talk to them abt it (although i agree some of them felt very confrontative) really made me doubt if i was a good friend or not. I wasn't particularly close with any of these girls that i stopped being friends with, but the emotional toll it had on me and the tension in our boarding house was very overwhelming at times and i knew it affected my studies, stupidly i thought i could overcome it.

Another part of me knew that it's probably because i always let myself down by checking on the mark scheme and convince myself that i knew the answer was supposed to be that, instead of actually learning- but none of the teachers in my school were particularly helpful, and they always had an impression that i wouldn't fail and therefore didn't really put enough care for me and my grades.

I used to be a person who doesn't really care about other people's life and accomplishment in the sense that i don't really get jealous because i always had it laid out for me. Now, every time someone talks about the fact they got to their dream uni, I hate myself even more, i blame both myself and the things that happened in upper sixth for my failure in exams. But every day now, i realize that i grow more and more jealous and i really hate this part of myself, but i can't stop it. It also doesn't help that my sister is studying physics at the same uni without having to attain all 9s (which i did in gcses) I am sorry i peaked at gcses, or i peaked at a levels, i know life is so much more than uni, but it is so so hard when everyone and yourself expected you to go to your dream uni, studying your dream course.

I. am not sure what i did wrong in my life to receive this timeline. Every time i talk to someone irl, they always say "it's okay, this bad thing happens for u so u can receive x good things" but i am so sick of this propaganda. I worked really hard and I finally, for once, believed in myself and invested so, so much in my future, just for it to get ripped. Now i feel it's very hard to get motivation and it is so painfully mundane, i can''t rlly go out and even when i do i know im not being myself.

These thoughts came up to me when my lovely boyfriend told me he noticed that i never talk as much as before, and all i talk about is the endless things i have to do or study for, unlike before when i would just ask him hypothetical questions or talking about the day like a "normal human" (my word, not his). I don't want to be a failure, I am so, so scared.

Just A Rant Resellers of any kind of just scalpers at this point, regardless of calling themselves "personal shoppers" or "legitimate Small Businesses". They are scalping baby formula for crying out loud!

3 Upvotes

I remember being a kid growing up without extra money. I got a Christmas one year because the church sponsored our family, we had actual roaches that would eat our food if we left it unattended in our own home, the bullying at school (one year from a teacher), endless expectation that you would do better than your parents, etc...

Well I did. I have a household income of over $130k between my husband and I, own a 2,000+ sqft home and get to travel to see friends who moved away. I finally made it happen and decide to get into hobbies I wanted to get into as a kid such as TCG or Disney collectables or video games.

Everything is being scalped. I couldn't get my hands on anything without paying a stupid amount of money for it. It wasn't just limited to hobbies either. When my husband and I had a baby, we discovered that he had to be on a specific formula. I would go to the store and try to get it, but it was always sold out. I saw a woman (noticed her because of her cart + the pink/yellow hair she had) at the check-out with the entire inventory of this formula. I asked her if I could have just one can, and she said "for $80 you can." I was horrified.

I started joining online mom groups for my area, trying to offer free photography shoots in exchange for cans of formula. Found this same lady in there reselling the formula for $80 a can (she paid $32 at the time). Then this continued for Millie Moon diapers, the only brand that didn't cause issues for my son. Again, always sold out on shelves but always available online in our local mom groups for double the price.

This lady had the audacity to tell me she was a single mother and this is how she supported herself and her kids. She had to create a business, and she was just being entrepreneur and that I shouldn't be so upset when supporting a "local small business".

Turned to online big box stores, had a subscription for formula and diapers set up but even online these stores were always sold out. It was insane to think I couldn't even care for my own child because people were scalping baby formula and diapers.

So not only could I not get into any hobbies, I couldn't even take care of my kid because of scalpers. Want to play TCG (not just collect, actually go to a local shop and play it with friends to save your sanity from being a parent all day?) gotta pay a premium for that on top of it already being a luxury to have the extra money to pay retail for it. Want a spirit jersey to wear to work or Disney Ears for your Disney wall at the office so you don't have to stare at blank walls all day? "oh we aren't scalpers. We are personal shoppers with a fee and you also have to pay S&H on top of the "processing" fee of your payment through cash app."

want to feed and diaper your kid so they don't starve or sit in their own mess and get sick? gotta pay a "local small business" for that at double the price.

Then the issues with the gaming industry on top of all that is another story. I had paid for the same game three times because the license kept expiring before I finally gave up on playing video games. And no, it wasn't pirated or anything. I bought it from the online store from my console and the third time on the computer through steam and it still wouldn't stop expiring so it didn't even matter where I was playing the game either.

there's just not any more joy in life at this point. You can't afford hobbies because of scalpers. You can't afford a kid because of scalpers. You can't afford video games because of how pricey everything is, scalped consoles and even this new "you don't actually own anything" mentality the industry has.

Reselling should require a permit, even if it's some "single parent just trying to earn some cash" and it should be regulated. It's gotten so out of hand across all industries from entertainment to basic needs that someone needs to either ban it altogether or penalize people for overdoing it.

As a kid, I had nothing. As an adult with adult money, it still feels like I'm that kid being told "oh sorry, you don't have enough for that in your piggy bank." when I literally have $100 for a $30 item but they want $300 for it.

and lastly, I shouldn't have to wait 2 hours in line for my coffee just because the company wants to give away nee-dohs with coffee purchases. Get over yourselves already and get real jobs, not some fake online business you think you deserve to have just because you have the free time to stalk isles like a creep for toys when real parents with real full-time jobs that keep them from being able to just go and get it from the store are just trying to make their kids happy and their own lives a bit more bearable when they actually do have time to themselves. Resellers, "legitimate business" or not are just a scummy as anyone else who takes advantage of other people.

Anyway, now that I've got that out of the way. Back to making people more money than they need and paying me as little as possible to create bigger profits for themselves while I'm just trying to make enough money to pay $80 for a $32 can of formula for my kid because someone else is allergic to getting a job.

My online social life and my mental health this year transformed for the better thanks to this app.

I used to look for people on reddit, discord and it was horrid.

Due to some logistical issues I am not able to use my favourite app - online place for a week or so, couple of weeks. And I am notificing my mental state drastically changing and going to pre-app times. Fuckin crazy. This app saved my life.

Men don’t help women anymore

• Upvotes

OOkay, I HATE HATE HATE to be that person, but I’ve noticed that men don’t help women in public anymore and it’s genuinely bothering me.
In the span of ONE WEEK, I’ve watched a woman nearly get crushed in an elevator while ALL THE MEN STOOD THERE WATCHING and women rushed to her defense. Two seconds ago, I was practically breaking my back trying to lift my luggage into the overhead compartment, at one point I almost fell back and let out a light yell still nothing. not a single man offered to help. And im hot loool 😂

An older woman had to come to my aid. Bless her heart.

This isn’t about gender wars. It’s about basic consideration and chivalry and having the decency to help someone who clearly needs it.

Am I the only one noticing this?

Just A Rant Title: Got my Steam Deck LCD today and I'm already frustrated

2 Upvotes

Got my Steam Deck LCD today, and this is frustrating as hell.

Okay, I created an account. Then I had to mess around with search settings several times just to get FF XII to finally appear in the store.

Next, I tried to connect my 8BitDo Pro 2 controller. Couldn't find Bluetooth anywhere in the main launcher. Like, there's literally no such submenu. Fine, switched to Desktop Mode, found Bluetooth, and connected it. Except now it's recognized as a keyboard.

Then I tried PCSX2. The controls weren't mapped correctly, and Y was pausing the game. No keyboard hotkeys for pausing were configured either.

And let's talk about the virtual keyboard. Pressing Steam + X brings it up, but for some reason it overflows the screen. I had to scale it down, and then the text became almost unreadable.

Oh, and at one point, the screen stopped displaying anything, but the buttons were still responding as if the device was working normally.

And this is just day one.

I have enough experience dealing with Linux bullshit at work. I bought this thing to play games, not to spend my evening troubleshooting the operating system, figuring out missing menus, fixing controller mappings, and dealing with UI glitches.

I knew the Steam Deck was running Linux, but I honestly didn't expect the experience to be this frustrating.

And this is just scratching the surface.

Not That Serious Reddits karma system is stupid as hell!

17 Upvotes

The whole reddit karma system just seems stupid to me. You want to ask a question on something specific? Oh great you found reddit, and you found a perfect forum to ask said question. You go make an account to ask that question? NO, YOU NEED KARMA.

So instead you look for similar communities. THERE ARE NONE THAT YOU CAN TALK IN, YOU NEED KARMA.

"great" you think, "just need to browse some interesting topics and leave comments that people like."

NO, I'M BORING. nobody is browsing comments in r/birdwatching and giving likes to people who think said bird looks cool. No car lover is civilised enough to understand that vans are the best vehicles. Great, now you're stuck, because you have no interest in random trending stuff, and you have no social skills to leave good comments that people like.

Oh and the idea of karma itself is stupid, it pushes you to become a people pleaser. Forget about your opinions, if you have them, you'll never gain a voice. You need to push whatever is trending right now. If you land into a world where people don't like pigeons? If you go against the grain and say pigeons are cute, you get cut out of 3 random reddits you look at, it forces an echo chamber into creation, and that's before the algorithm force feeds you. Why does reddit karma exist?! I get bots exist, but damn just make a captcha instead of making reddit useless to people who don't like to talk as often. I use reddit because I've got questions, and answers for questions, not because I want to talk about Donald trump making frog sounds, but I can't ask or answer questions because I have no KARMA

I’m trying to lose weight and tone my body cause I’m just not happy with the way it looks. I’ve been on and off at the the gym (mostly off) and I’m finding it hard to find motivation to go. It’s mainly hard to go to the gym because I work 8 hours Monday- Friday so I either have to go to the gym at 5am in the morning or 7pm at night. I’d rather not go at night because I’m a woman and I’m scared of creeps that go at night and also there’s so many people that go at night and I’m just so tired from the day. And it’s hard to wake up early to go to the gym in the morning. I haven’t been consistent with the gym in like years (idk if I ever was consistent honestly). But I know if I want to see results I have to actually go do something.

Relationship/Dating needed a rant, what do u guys think of this

0 Upvotes

Both met at 18 on Snap in the UK. Typical teenage love story lol. We talked for like a year over FaceTime and got really close. I spoke to his friends and everything, and even spoke to his mum on the phone and his sister-in-law multiple times.

Halfway through, he started revealing things, like how he did steroids. A LOT of them. Very aggressive stuff for someone his age, and it was my first time hearing about it, so I didn't know much. I just thought, lazy shit can't go to the gym and get jacked himself 😭 but he said it just speeds things up lol or whatever.

He also had no life ambitions whatsoever. Didn't study, had no idea where he wanted to be in life, and kept saying, "We'll get married, I'll figure it out," bla bla. And obviously, being stupid, I believed it lolllll.

I also ended up guessing that he smoked ouid, and he admitted it. He did it ALL the time, daily, sometimes 2–3 times a day, along with a bunch of other recreational shit like balloons and all that.

He was also a past slag and had been with LOADS of people, but the thing was, he told me about all of them and hid nothing, so I'll give him that. He didn't lie about anyone from his past. But the deeper we got, the more I understood his emotional side, especially with his family pushing him out and the toxic environment at home.

Me being stupid kept saying, "It's fine, idm, idm, it's fine, I'll support you," damn well knowing the chances were that my family were NOT going to accept him. My family are full of doctors, and I'm also pursuing medicine, so that part of me damn well knew he wasn't going to be able to provide for me the way I wanted. I'm not a gold digger, but I want someone who can comfortably look after me, especially considering the way I grew up with my father being a doctor. I want the same for my future family.

The lack of ambition bothered me too. He wasn't well-spoken, etc. All that. If you'd asked me about this in the moment, I wouldn't have said any of this because I was too love-blind, but now I can see everything wrong with it.

I kept saying we needed to end things because it was wrong and I didn't see it working out, but he kept convincing me to stay. It was ruining my relationships with my family at home to the point where I'd completely cut them off. Multiple times, he'd contact me on all sorts of platforms when he was high or whatever, saying he needed me and all that.

Anyways, six months later, im happier but still think about it.

OH, ANDDDD the first time I ended it, he came back saying he missed me. But while we were apart, he slept with a girl who looked EXACTLY like me. He initially said it was only once, but when I asked him again later, he said it was like three times. He described the exact night to me and then realised, shit, and was like, "Sorry, sorry, sorry," and all that.

He would talk about her horribly, saying he only wanted her for her body lol. Still don't know why that wasn't an automatic leave for me.

But to be fair, I know for a fact he loved me. The way he treated me, held me, and reassured me showed that. But it wasn't practical love. He bought me an engagement gold ring after I insisted he shouldn't, but he did it anyway, regardless of me telling him the chances were that it wouldn't work out.

I feel like I should add that I was GUILT-TRIPPED A LOT. I genuinely felt like I owed him something, and ngl, I did feel guilty. But now I'm SOOOOO much happier.Also, idk how to explain it, but I have a strong feeling he wouldn't talk about me negatively. I think he had respect for me, regardless of how much he lost his temper lol. Like, once, he didn't talk to me because I spent too long in the shower. Like bro 😭😭

He was very emotionally unstable, but that's also why I felt really guilty, ygm?

I miss the good bits sometimes and still have some things from then, i wanna let go but cant of the items. Since the beginning its been over 2 years and last point of contact was 6 months ago. I wanna know what hes doing how he is etc if he wants to msg me. so far ive ignored any thoughts but for how long, help xxx

Just A Rant Loneliness

1 Upvotes

I dont understand why I always become a third wheel in friend group. My best friend of 6 , almost 7 (fuck off with SKX SEVEEENNN) and I recently made a mutual friend but now they do everything together.

Everytime I ask her if she wants to hang out alone, she gives excuses as to why she cant or why she wants the other person there too. But if the other person asks, she’s immediately available.

Even today, I asked her if she could screenshare a game to me, which we planned for a long time. I didn’t recieve a reply at all. 2 hours later, the other person asks if anyone of us wants to play a game and she immediately says “I’m available at 10 pm !” then the other person says they cant play for long at that time and she happily says “Actuallyyyt i can rn for an hour!” all while not even responding to me.

And I just feel like I am so easy to replace. What about me is so wrong that people find it so easy to not have me there? Last year I lost a whole friend group because they started excluding me and now it’s happening again? Am I that unworthy of having a genuine friendship? And if I dare say any of this to them, they gang up on me and start saying how im wrong for feeling like this and that me even mentioning that im upset is manipulative and toxic.

Atp I dont know what to do anymore so I just let it happen. I care about them both but im just so hurt. I just want to matter to someone. I just want someone to be genuinely happy that they have me in their life..

I hate my husband's entire family

1 Upvotes

I feel like these people are always gonna be on my bad side

For 4 out of six years these people have disliked me , excluded me , acted like I wasn't thier family and blamed me for stuff I didn't even do.

They have refused to speak to me , not accepted my friend requests , believed my family when they told them I was a liar , tried to be kind and include my family after I told them it was a bad idea and then turned around and asked ME why my family is so evil as if any of it is my fault.

They were told by my husband's mother that I did this and that , I'm responsible for this and that until she finally had to face it was her son doing all that and not me ,and they believed her because she is my husband's mother and they assumed she knew the most about me when she actually didn't know anything about me.

I don't know if these people understand the damage they did and now want to include me and my daughter as if they didn't just drag me through the mud for four years.

All I know is I'll never respect them again. My relationship with the family I wanted is so broken and I don't even care about those people anymore. I used to tell my husband's bio dad happy birthday every year and now I pretend he doesn't exist and he hasn't even brought it up.

I use to call him father in law , dad. I used to call my mother in law momma. I don't do any of that shit anymore because these people don't mean anyrhing to me and I really didn't want it to be this way.

Full Meltdown Ich kann das alles nicht mehr

2 Upvotes

Nervt mich das alles einfach nur noch. Mit meinem Vorgesetzten Anfang des Jahres einen Internen Stellenwechsel klargemacht. Wir brauchen aber einen Nachfolger welchen ich noch anlernen soll. Ist jetzt aber auch 8 Monate her. Macht mir auch keiner irgendwie den Eindruck dass der Wechsel Priorität hat. Ich sitz hier einfach nur noch auf Arbeit und mach nicht mal mehr Dienst nach Vorschrift. Bin Mental und körperlich am Ende. Seit November 25 mit Bandscheibenvorfall zu kämpfen. Mal mehr mal weniger. Deswegen auch der Wechsel. OK, mir egal ich such was anderes. Jaaaa nein mach ich nicht. Wonach such ich überhaupt? Keine Ahnung. In meinen gelernten Beruf kann ich körperlich nicht mehr. Und alles neue überfordert mich mental und wirft die Frage auf: Krieg ich das hin? hab ich da Bock drauf? Selbst auf Frau und Kind kann ich nicht. Komm Zuhause an und bin einfach nur am Ende und genervt. I dont know. Einfach am Ende mit meiner Energie

Relationship/Dating He only wants to have long conversations when it has to do with something sexual maybe I’m meant to be single

1 Upvotes

We’ve been dating for 1 MONTH and he wants to do so much sexual stuff to me to the point where I think the only thing he wants to do is hit ☹️ for some reason I feel ready to break up with him. I have the date set up and I’m thinking of doing it. I was mad at him FOR A WEEK because he would not stop telling me how much he wants to do things to me and nothing else. He doesn’t wanna tell me to go see a movie or go to a nice restaurant no he wants to touch me and that’s all. I haven’t said I love you back to him in Almost 2 weeks because that’s how upset I am. Maybe we aren’t that serious but I really wanted this to work out somehow. He’s also trying to keep me sober for whatever reason I do NOT have a drinking problem guys I just like to have a nice drink every now and then (once a week) because things just get a lot. Im trying to see the positive side of him but I feel like I gave up. On our first date he kissed me and wanted to see my boobs so I let him bc what if he wouldn’t wanna meet again? Now guess what guys IM THE ONE THAT DOESN’T WANNA MEET 🔥🔥🔥. (We’ve been talking since last summer and we are doing long distance kinda)
Before I finish this post I just wanna say how much I love alcohol and money the two things that have NEVER upset me

T.V/Social Media 🖥 My bf said that ai will take my job

2 Upvotes

I (21f) am in my 3rd year studying television and my bf (19m) is in his 2nd year studying astrophysics. Despite him studying this, he has always wanted to make films. I’ve supported him with this ever since he had mentioned it. I have also told him that if he needs any help with anything then he can always come to me for guidance since I have a lot of experience in that area.

Last night he got home and told me that he had made a film. I was excited to see and when he showed me, the scenes were filmed in Japan. My bf has never been to Japan and it’s been on his bucket list for years, and he said that he had made the film himself using ai. He showed me the paragraphs he wrote for every single scene and said that he directed the whole thing. As someone who is planning to work in the film industry, ai is seen as a threat to workers and people’s creativity. I’m not going to sit here and say that I have never used ai, I have. However in my opinion ai should only be used as a last resort tool and to not overtake the whole production process, as what my boyfriend had done.

I told him that he has the creativity for it, but advised him not to use ai next time. I reminded him that if he ever wants to make a film or needs help, to ask me since I have my own film camera and as I have mentioned above, have experience. He got a bit defensive and kept mentioning that ai was better, cheaper (despite him paying £80 to ‘create’ those scenes), and that my industry will use it more in the future.

I personally think that ai can be useful, as i said as a last resort tool. However that’s only for the media industry/personal use. I think that with proper ai development it can be good in science, diagnostics etc. I had told him this, and had also mentioned that ai is a growing threat to people’s jobs and careers and to think of how many camera operators, production assistants, editors etc would be out of jobs if ai were to be used more in the future.

That’s when he told me that I can work in another industry if ai takes over mine. I got really frustrated because in my opinion that isn’t what should happen at all. I’ve been studying to work in the industry for years and it’s something that I have been passionate about since I was young. So what’s the point of even studying/continuing my course and working in an industry that isn’t relevant to my course? We went back and forth about it and eventually I just dropped it because I hate arguing.

After a few hours I had calmed down and I approached him about it again, this time more calmer. I reminded him about how human creativity is a gift and we must embrace it. I told him to be more patient with his dreams and to build more experience with working with film cameras, editing, and even advised him on some internships, work experience, online classes he could take, how you can easily make a film with a small budget, and understanding the importance with the different roles in film. I had then asked him what he wanted to do after he graduated and he said that he wanted to work with Ai engineering. I just agreed to disagreed because I didn’t want to go back and forth with him and I also hate arguing with people in general.

The thing is that he DOES have the creativity and ambition for film. Although he put all the notes on his phone for each specific scene into ai, they were extremely detailed so I do know that he has an eye for detail which is a really good skill in film. However I do feel like he could better improve these skills but instead he’s just going to ai.

As I have said, I think ai can be useful for the science department and much more, but media is not one of those industries. I understand that me and my bf have different opinions about it due to what we are studying and our separate upbringing (I grew up in Scotland, he grew up in China) so I do understand that we have different opinions about it. I know that we agreed to disagreed about it but I feel like there is something more that I should mention, something more that I should do. Is there anything that I can do?
