I think if you interpret the question "how actually meaningful is your job?" at that micro level - i.e. are you as an individual person replaceable? Then of course everyone is replaceable.

I actually interpreted the question as whether what you are part of is meaningful to society in terms of actually providing real benefit or value to the community. This could be taken at a macro level (eg I work at a NFP in accounting so even if I am not directly doing the charity work, I take a haircut to market remuneration to help fund those activities) or at a "job" level (ie is the role meaningful vs. you as an individual person currently employed in that role).

Do many people in this thread have more than one mobile phone? Ive had a work and personal phone for as long as I can remember, and I also have an app on my work phone and Apple Watch which connects to my landline number at work (is I can disable the app or set hours so it isnt always connected).

I find it interesting how a large proportion of people posting here dont feel their employer or role actually contributes to society.

Generally speaking though the roles must be supporting some kind of greater purpose otherwise they would cease to exist. Sounds more like the leadership havent done a sufficiently good job of setting the tone at the top for the vision.

This.

If someone calls me and I don't recognize the number, it goes to voicemail. If no voicemail is left, they clearly didn't have anything of dire importance to say.

I flat-out don't respond to texts, because I find them obnoxious. Either e-mail me, so I can respond to you on a proper keyboard instead of a tiny touchscreen, or call me - your pick.

I hate voicemails more though as they take me time to listen and then respond, whilst also preventing me from multitasking. I wish everyone would just email me.

Alternatively even though I work in a client service industry so taking calls is part and parcel of the job, 99% of the time, queries couldve been answered by one of my team members anyway.

I went under general and did all four. They were coming out and I initially ignored the advice of the professionals and it led to random headaches which interferes with my studies and work. The trick to avoiding pain is actually to keep your mouth sterile afterwards using a syringe and salt water whenever you eat anything. Try to eat liquid foods which can go straight down without chewing so they minimise risk of infection from bits being left in mouth.

Ugly people can have style and good fashion sense too which helps.

I work in foreclosure

I actually think people would be better off if my job didn't exist

But dem banks want their money, y'hear??

The flip side is if banks could not get their money back when borrowers defaulted then theyd be more risk averse in lending making it harder and more expensive for people to borrow. But again flip side is if credit costs rise, there may be less people buying which wouldve pushed housing prices down.

I fail to see the correlation there. By the time that could become a potential concern, Id say the cheating has already substantially happened.

I am a director of a large consulting firm specialising in helping banks with meeting their regulatory reporting and capital adequacy requirements - basically working out how much they can lend whilst balancing their risk and regulatory reporting requirements. I also help automate these processes to make them more efficient and cheaper to run.

Depending on perspective I am either helping people and businesses afford their dreams, or Im on the other end of the spectrum of helping society. I like to think Im the former.

I think gamed is a strong word to use in this context. Being forward thinking or deliberately working in industries more likely to grow rather than become redundant is not the same as manipulating or taking advantage of loopholes for ones benefit.

I'd go with Switch if they're equal - since even if it's a mediocre remake, at least you have it on Switch.

Leaning towards it, but then on the other hand I feel like I've got too many eShop games which has zero resale value and will not be playable whenever next console comes out. At least on PC I also have my GPD Win 2 for portable play assuming it can run FF8 remaster.

Lack of plastic bags used to annoy me at shops here in Australia but I've gotten used to it - I'm more efficient in bringing my reusable bags to the shops (and stash a bunch in the car), how I pack my groceries, take trolley to car, etc... but what has continued to annoy me is I no longer have a source of free garbage bags and instead end up buying them thus defeating the point of the whole exercise.

Got none of that

Well I do have a job but shitty ass pay

It's all relative. But I guess if you don't set any goals or ambitions, you have nothing to measure by.

I set myself some pretty challenging objectives back when I was 18 which I didn't hit (e.g. earn $500k p/a by 30, live and work overseas, etc), but it at least gave me something to work towards.

Ah I see. It's decent enough for 2019 but probably will want to upgrade soon.

I'm on my laptop now and I can see it - does this mean you have two PCs:

1. Laptop with i7-8750H and GTX 1060
2. Desktop with i7-7xxx and GTX 1070

LOL you're like me - I bought multiple Pascals too before! I since moved on to Turing and am not noticing such a significant difference vs. when I upgraded from my old 960M.

I'm curious, how old are you both (LinkPizza & Darkknight109) and what profession/industry are you in.

Whilst I'm more inclined to agree with Darknight's points given I work in consulting and help my clients with automation (as well as building our own NN solutions), I also appreciate LinkPizza's views which are a bit more traditional and dare I say, often on the other side of the fence when we are working with clients on being better prepared for the future.

I absolutely love the first movie. I've probably seen it two or three dozen times.

I liked the first four, but yeah they've definitely gone from car movies to action movies with some cars.

I just accept the newer ones for what they are. Popcorn action flicks.

If only there was a simple "Like" button on GameFAQs... I would use it for this post.

I think we could've eliminated half of the list.

For me the keepers are Maccas, KFC, Dominos, Burger King, Subway.

Whilst I'm tempted to eliminate Subway and replace with Pizza Hut, and I think Subway is way past it's prime and lost it's appeal, it does bring variety to the other ones I picked which are on the other end of the healthiness-perception spectrum.

Oh I got both of those two but I think they were less aspiration and more just mandatory requirements vs. getting kicked out of the house. In hindsight I look back and think I made some pretty risky choices with regards to both of those that thankfully did not backfire.

They consistently have some of the most inventive and exciting stunt work of any film series. I really enjoy watching them, if only to see just how crazy the shit is gonna get. Some of the worst writing of all time tho, like the bottom 5 dialogs in filmmaking are probably all in this series.

I actually think it's good how the dialogue doesn't take itself too seriously and that's what makes it work. Story and dialogue are just segues which join the interesting bits together. Every now and then, you get some meme-worthy lines too.
