The Fallout show was so much fun. Looking forward to the next season.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The show also explains how you can have fat guys in a vault. That one dude is clearly a "feeder".

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Was that a practice in the vaults? The one who mentioned it was BoS.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

That's true, but maybe, I mean how else would you get fertilizer I guess

As soon as I saw this scene, I immediately thought of Lemmy users and how it would speak to them. So, not surprised to see this posted here and getting some love.

"You're currently... In IT, how do you feel about that?"

"I'm good at it. I don't like it, but I don't hate it."

“You’re currently… unemployed, how do you feel about that?”

“I’m good at it. I don’t like it, but I don’t hate it.”

This scene resonated with me on so many levels.

As soon as I saw this scene, I immediately thought of ~~Lemmy users~~ everyone I know and how it would speak to them.

fixed that for me

I've seen what they do. Gum up the works with red tape and bureaucracy, take every hard earned cent and use it to fund their Illuminati free mason sex parties.

We talking about your job or Fallout?

[–] Burninator05@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is my real job and my likely vault job really all that much different?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on the vault.

You could end up in the Giraffe vault.

How can we be enthusiastic when most of us are running purely off of sheer force of will and copious amounts of caffeine

[–] wabafee@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

That's why you replace that with cocaine. Disclaimer: don't do it, just stay with coffee do exercise instead, get some hobbies, find another job, get some long vacation.

[–] menemen@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That hobby thing is a two sided sword. I have 4 hobbies plus my family, friends and the gym. And I have not enough time for them. It actually adds to my stress level nowadays, because I want to do all of them and just can't.

I would say that this guy is my spirit animal except that during some of his other scenes, he very much acted in a way contrary to what I believe I would have done.

I don't want to say any more since the show is still new and I don't want to ruin anything for anyone.

But this line, yes. Very yes. Most of my jobs have been like this. It's just like, I'm only here because they pay me to be. I only do what I need to in order to not get fired.

"Lacks enthusiasm" in this case really means "doesn't feign enthusiasm".

Thanks for reminding me how good it is to be honest about what you see

[–] The_Tired_Horizon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

Lacking enthusiasm for what can effectively be paid slavery is nothing to be ashamed or shamed for.

[–] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have great hope for him in season 2

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I bet he's going to game of throne the shit out of the vault(s).

[–] PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Having not watched the show, this makes me think of Office Space.

I'm the opposite. I show and give too much and burn myself out, no matter what the job is.

"Enthusiasm" wasn't required for any of my previous positions, I fail to see why that matters

[–] FlapJackFlapper@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sergeant Hulka: Soldier, I've noticed that you're always last.

John Winger: I'm pacing myself, Sergeant.

[–] TIMMAY@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Why can't we ever have just like a salad? Loved seeing this guy, brought back nacho libre nostalgia and he knocked the role out of the park. I actually typically despise reboots/remakes etc but this show was really fun
