"Go to college, it's not the degree that matters. They'll be impressed you graduated." Thanks Dad, but it's not 1982 anymore.
Regarding bullies I was always told that "They just want a reaction so ignore them and they will go away."
This is the worst advice you can give a child for bullies, because if they don't get a reaction they will escalate.
Why is this so universal? So many people tell you to do this, and it has never worked. Not. even. once. At least the "companies reward loyalty" was (supposedly) true at some point, decades ago.
@@Wendy_O._Koopaworks more than it fails actually. Problem is not all bullies are the same so the ones that will escalate it usually go way too far and those are the ones we hear about and notice because they are seen as evil or the loudest.
@@jimdob6528 If you think it has ever actually worked, then you have never been bullied in your life. Let the people with actual experience talk.
@@jimdob6528 No bully has ever left someone alone because they didn't get a reaction. The fact that they can't get a rise out of someone drives them to up the ante.
They enjoy it.
Why would they stop.
And when you just take it you take away repercussions for them.
"Just try harder."
No, trying harder will not get me anything if I've hit a wall or if I'm not physically/mentally/emotionally/etc. capable of trying harder than I already am.
Trying harder only got me a week long stay in a psych ward back in 2010, and I have no intention of doing that again.
Also trying harder can get you burn out, psychosis or depression.
Yep, had two out of the three. It's why I'm slightly afraid of going back to college to finish my final year, because of how badly I spiraled.
Maybe some day I'll be in a mentally well place, but it seems like I can't reach it even with meds and therapy.
Why can't they say "try different?" You might be training for the wrong kind of job.
“If you work hard and stay loyal your employer will reward your hard work.”
Maybe in the past
Tell me about it
@@goodnightmyprince6734still happens
It's not bad advice, it just doesn't work anymore. "Make yourself valuable, not useful"
It dépend of the employer
"Violence is never the answer"
It’s the question,
and the answer is YES!
Sometimes it is.
Obviously don't punch everyone who gets in your face.
But defence of self is key.
You is the most valuable thing you have. Protect it.
The other day on Reddit someone was complaining about some kids doing donuts in a parking lot nearby and one of the top comments was someone suggesting that you call it into the police and claim you heard gunshots
This is just absolutely terrible advice. Not only is this lying to police / misuse of 911 which can get you in legal trouble, But can also cause problems similar to swatting where the police will show up on edge with weapons ready expecting a confrontation and This is a recipe for disaster that can can very realistically end in injury or death
It's better to just be honest and say hey there's some kids in the parking lot doing donuts It's dangerous. And they'll usually send the cop out to tell them to fuck off
They're not going to arrest the kids but they'll come send them away. I used to work at a Wendy's where the kids sometimes would show up and use our parking lot for this since we had a large parking lot that we shared with a few stores nearby.
Usually within 10 minutes of calling the police they would show up and tell the kids to leave. You don't need to lie to them
Worst advice ever. Basically attempted murder.
We already don't trust 100% the police handling weapons and the advice is basically creating a panicking situation.

"Be yourself."
That only works if you like yourself
@@j.ackermann9110or if you’re a good person
99% of the time if you think “be yourself” is bad advice you are a bad person

Go to college it will be worth it. Now in 35000 in debt working a job that I don’t need a degree for. Making more then I would have if I was working with my degree. Still only able to make minimum payments bc of prices of everything being so damn high.
I feel like 70% of jobs don’t require a degree at all.
When some one tells you 'to go along, to get along'. It's always to your detriment.
Complete unsolicited advice from my Dad; “find a roommate off Craig’s List. You need to learn to trust people”. At this time I was married, doing well enough to move a couple states away and take my time en route to visit family along the way. He did follow his own advice, which is why he has a long history of room mates that robbed him, never paying their agreed on percentage of bills and rent, and a few that have left him with legal trouble.
"Depending on where you live, a car is a necessity rather than an investment."
No, a car is never an investment:; if you buy a car, it will start depreciating as soon as you start driving it. It is a capital expense, not an investment. An investment is when your expense comes back to you, increased.
Yeah a car loses a massive chunk of its value the second you drive it off the lot
If it gets you to a job then it 100% is an investment. You are investing in yourself.
@jimdob6528 Your feet also get you to your job; some people use bicycles; I, myself, ride a public bus to get to mine, but that doesn't make my bus fare an investment. Food gives you the energy to work, but that doesn't make the money you spend on groceries an investment I think you need to revisit what the word "investment" actually means.
I live in a mountain with no public transit at all. My car is a necessity. However, I view it as financially equivalent to a washing machine, a computer, or a stove: all of them necessities, none of them an investment. You get them because they fulfill your needs, not because of their value. Your smartphone costs money, but you need it to stay connected in this new online world. Your washing machine costs money and loses value, but you need it to do your laundry while juggling your everyday grind. Your stove costs money and loses value, but you need it to eat proper food. My car costs money and loses value, but I still need it to go to work and to the places where I have to go.
"Use the magic eraser on your face, its getting makeup off the walls just fine, should work on your face" mom never lived that one down
13:20 is something I saw very often in my IT-related college major. Lots of people who were actually pretty good at programming, changing to a very different major like psychology, media studies or law (law school in Mexico is an undergraduate degree), and their justification was "I just can't view myself as a programmer". Fortunately, it was usually a correct thought, and most of them ended up being good at their real fields.
"Have you tried yoga? You should go back to doing yoga." Every professional I've talked to about my chronic pain and fibromyalgia.
My dad told me not to spend my inheritance from my grandma on bitcoin . This was about 2009ish
Bitcoin goes up and down, so in retrospective there was a percentage of being a bad idea.
Bitcoins a scam
@@ryanrios4328 People don't understand this. There's been thousands of "coins" out there but only one of them is talked about a lot. It's success is based strictly on something no one else is doing with their crypto, it has a utilitarian purpose. They used it to hide transactions on the deep web so now it has use outside of the deep web.
It could have failed just like the rest of them. You never know.
when computer breaks, everyone says to send it for repair at the company that made it. a 12 year old with half a year of experience playing modded minecraft repairs computers better than apple or asus or most other large companies. also you can pay the 12 year old with a cheap ice cream. independent repair workshops are best at repairing and somewhere in the middle with cost.
My law teacher in college actually gave me some really great advice. I was going to college for criminal psychology, had told her it was my goal to end up working for either the FBI or the Kansas Bureau of Investigations.
2 weeks into college she learned that I’m on the spectrum. She pulled me aside and said that because I’m on the spectrum, I wouldn’t be able to work for either organization. And that my chances of being able to use my degree were basically zero. So in addition to the fact I was struggling with my mental health and on the verge of a breakdown, I dropped out. I’m now months away from completing paying off my student loan debt for the semester I took out, and have an amazing job at a law firm. All without a college degree.
Don't get your ears pierced. You'll have to wear earrings with a bathing suit.
Maybe it's because I don't have ears, but I think you lost me on this one. What is this "advice" supposed to mean?
@@Wendy_O._Koopa It used to be considered vulgar to wear jewelry, except your wedding ring, wearing athletic clothes. The lady who gave me this advice was born in 1920.
I was really hoping for the first story to end well
Someone told me to eat a rock it will be good for me
Technically, salt and ice are rocks. You need both.
@@LegendStormcrowsalt is a mineral, not a rock. Ice is just frozen water, which is also not a rock.
@@ferretqueen2908 what are rocks made of? Frozen minerals
@@LegendStormcrow umm no they're made of mineral combinations. How did you come to the conclusion all rocks are frozen? Not trying to insult you, I'm just curious.
Go to college.
All throughout highschool we were bombarded with, "If you don't finish highschool with a diploma and good grades you won't be able to get a job." and then later in highschool, "If you don't go to college you'll only ever work minimum wage jobs forever."
I dropped out in 11th grade, got my GED, worked a variety of random production jobs until eventually learning to weld in my buddy's backyard with his harbor freight welder the day before my job interview / weld test for a welding job.
I passed and got welding experience that lead to other welding jobs where I got forklift certified and learned a ton of other things.
Meanwhile the majority of my generation I saw go to college did NOT end up getting high paying jobs, they ended up with massive student debt and almost nothing to show for it. And it isn't even their own faults, the education system lied to everyone and made it happen.
Pro tip btw if you want to get welding experience but don't have a way to.
BS a resume together on Indeed, apply at welding production or low level welding jobs. MIG welding, don't start with TIG. Get weld tests set up and go try the test out. You'll almost certainly make a disgusting mess and fail that interview, but you'll get a tiny bit of experience.
Then go do it again at another weld shop for a little more experience, and again for a little more, and eventually you'll get decent enough to pass one. You DEFINITELY need to watch youtube videos about welding tips, study it, don't just go in blind. And you'll need your own welding hood and gloves before you try this out. Welding skill will keep a higher paying career path open to you forever if you learn it, and this is a free way to learn.
But you WILL be annoying these shops, and they'll laugh at your garbage welds when you leave. So it's best to book these practice weld tests at places farther from home than you actually want to work. As you start getting better, interview closer to home. lol
Some of the worst advice I've gotten was to not go to a car dealership. After 3 vehicles died in less than 2 years I was so tired of junk. Went to a dealership and got a decent car with low payments. 4 years later, the car is paid off, still runs dam well, and my credit score went up like 300 points. Very happy with my decision.
@5:25 - That kid is a fool to listen to his parents. New cars are untested and could have severe manufacturing issues that would require them to potentially be in the shop or recalled entirely, meaning that he'd be out of a vehicle. Many used cars, on the other hand, usually have their faults well known, meaning that so long as you took care of typical maintenance, it would be far easier to anticipate what you may need to watch for.
On top of that, new cars lose value EXTREMELY quickly, the insurance on them is FAR higher (especially if you're under the age of 25), and you're less likely to be able to finish paying off the car if it ends up in an accident, meaning you'd be paying on a car you don't have while needing to pay for yet another car.
If you ain’t redlining, you ain’t headlining
360 means you're going in the same direction you started going. 180 means you're going in the opposite.
But I digress.
Worst advice: "You should tell your employer that you're willing to work unpaid overtime."
Ha, no.

Getting relationship advice.... By a person who has never been in one 😂
Work hard and be loyal to your company. They'll take care of you
I love my grandfather, he's my hero, but him thinking I could afford a brand new car as a 20 year old college student with a part time job was pretty silly lol. I still got a really nice used car, but there's no way I could've gotten brand new.
In his defense, you used to be able to do just that. Old timers don’t get that prices have gone up so much. My mom still thinks $40k is enough to buy a good house.
My mom refuses to believe you can be married/a mother and unhappy
You dont get shit for putting anything more than expected.
Wait you do , IT IS MORE WORK!
> He did complete 360 when he arrived
So he didn't change at all?
A lot of these seem like just outdated advice. Company loyalty, get any college degree, etc. Yeah maybe once upon a time, but that doesn't work in the world today.
Next video: "reddit, when racism make mad? How revenge?"
Any advice about love or how to get a woman attention just because I never had a love life.
Also love doesn’t exist it better to be alone
About the first advice: Every couple has their way of showing love and maintaining a relationship, the worst part i that most of the time this advices comes from people whose relationship doesn't go too well.
About the second advice: love exists, but sometimes is better not being in a relationship. It can be good to take time to think about everything and love yourself first.
Love does exist, maybe outside for once in your life and don’t spend all day on Reddit
This list is depressing
Anything a boomer has said about life in the last 20 years
Story 9 is demonstrably wrong. There are some jobs/fields that you need a specialized degree in, yes. But since the job market is so saturated with degrees, having one keeps you competitive and it generally doesn’t matter what it’s in. Just that you have one.
Most resume software weeds out people without any degree before it even gets on a human desk. So please don’t listen to that garbage advice (ironic considering the video)
Is college still a scam because of the price/benefit ratio? Obviously yes. But do most people, unfortunately it’s in your best interest to get A degree.
