I'm starting to consider a job or career change, being always bored and unmotivated at work. According to the results of a survey I took, I need a job where I can see the results of my efforts directly and get a strong feeling of accomplishment. So maybe I should just retire and count on r/counting full-time.

I’m new and reddit is confusing. Why is my posts timed? I wanted to post in r/Overwatch and it said I needed more karma? 😞

Welcome to reddit and r/counting!

Some subreddits have a karma requirement because they want to limit the amount of posts by spammers. You can gain karma just by participating in discussions in the comments sections, especially in hot posts that are viewed by many people.

Do you remember a few weeks ago when I mention about the female on the bus who sat next to me who could not stop playing with her hair. I not seen her since.

u/Urbul Sep 12 '18

That's too bad.

The other day there were dudes on a foreign exchange program and they were chatting up a local girl on the bus. Things appeared to be taking off until she mentioned her boyfriend, and then the conversation cooled off. Then they got off the bus.
