How to joke correctly: 5 important rules of stress-free humor for yourself and others

Great stuff - good joke. Helps to establish contact, defuse the situation and just have a good laugh.

Do you like to laugh? How about joking?

Agree, any tense and serious event is much more interesting if there is at least a drop of humor in it. Boredom breeds despondency, and then off we go...

First, I’ll tell you a story from my life, how I once hired a very tense girl for work. She, poor thing, was so nervous before the interview that she was literally speechless. Although I don't think I look very menacing. And yet, I scared her somehow.

He sits, trembles, stutters, confuses his words, talking about himself. I decided to interrupt her and tell her a couple of jokes like "8 hours of computer games in a row: normal. Traffic lights longer than 30 seconds: I'm going to get old here." and "No love is more anticipated than a bus in -30°.", which I read on https://funnle.org/car/. Honestly, I don’t even remember which one, but we laughed together “till we drop.” And then I started telling her in a joking manner about our employees and even remembered jokes from my experience as an employee.

And what do you think? The girl melted, gained confidence and said: “Let me just come to you tomorrow morning and look at your atmosphere. And then we’ll decide what to do with me next.”

Agree, a slightly unexpected statement for the initially “embarrassed” one?! But I rejoiced inside myself, realizing that humor has magical powers, that it turns the unhealthy modest into natural and bold, erasing unnecessary boundaries between people.

How to use it: 

  • Defuse the situation in any incomprehensible situation - be it an interview, meeting, planning meeting or any other a priori boring meeting.
  • Establish contacts with employees and managers - they are people too, they want to smile and be in a good mood, sometimes they need help to achieve this zen.
  • Bring back your good mood, positivity and joy from life. This provides a powerful resource that allows you to experience the joy of being “here and now”, as well as make plans “for later”.

Humor is a great tool that has no age, no depreciation, no discount. It really helps to stay sane during such an unpredictable time.

And now I want to share with you a few rules for how to joke properly. Take it into service!

  1. A joke is appropriate in almost any situation. The cases when you shouldn’t use humor can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
  2. Always take into account the status, age and mood of the company you are joking with, plus the conditions. 
  3. Remember that not every dirty joke is a funny joke. Sometimes light humor or, on the contrary, subtle humor, about the same English aristocrats, can “go” much better than black jokes.
  4. Use jokes to lighten the atmosphere, but under no circumstances humiliate your interlocutors. Not only will they be crushed, but they are also unlikely to want to interact with you, resolve matters, and so on.
  5. Learn to laugh at yourself. This is perhaps one of the most important rules, although it is the last. Many comedians joke harshly at others, but they themselves are offended by jokes directed at themselves. First of all, learn to joke about yourself too.

Make jokes, laugh and have fun wherever you are - on vacation, at an interview or in quarantine! Remember that a joke is a powerful weapon that can melt the ice and dispel anger and irritation.

The joke makes everyone feel very good. It’s free, you don’t need to register for it, it’s just there in your soul in unlimited quantities.

Good luck in your humorous endeavors!

Server and resident proxies - all the advantages and features

You've probably heard about proxies, but let's find out what server and residential proxy are.

Server and resident proxies - which are better or worse is not a simple question). Chat rooms of people who specialize in the topic of working with information and the latest technologies are simply bursting with disputes regarding which proxy is better.

We are talking about a server proxy and a resident one. In general, each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages. It is worth understanding that a lot depends on their work, for example, the reliability of information transfer, anonymity on the Internet, and so on.

The use of server and resident proxies should be slightly different, it all depends on the purpose. The optimal solution for running your business would be to choose one type of proxy. Now we will talk about them in more detail.

Residential proxies

Residential proxies assume that the IP address belongs to a regular user. Many companies use these addresses to get to a certain number of sites.

Residential proxies can be reverse connected. That is, the IP address changes several times a day. This can be considered to provide a better level of anonymity.

It is worth noting that residential proxies are easy to manage, which pleases many users.

They cover a large number of locations, there are a large number of subnets. As a result, the user will be much more difficult to track.

It is the residential proxy server that many people use, despite the fact that the network connection is not entirely stable and the operating speed is not up to par.

Server proxies

We all know what a server is and how important it is. How correctly the company’s website will work depends on the operation of the server.

As for the server proxy, it refers to the data processing center in large enterprises, companies, etc.

There are several types of server proxies:

  • Are common. IP addresses will be used simultaneously by several users.
  • Private. IP addresses are simply rented so that only one user can use them.
  • Public. These proxy servers are publicly available on the Internet. They are completely free and unreliable.
  • Selected. In this case, the right to use the IP address is purchased from suppliers.

Server proxies are good because they have no traffic. They are quite productive and stable at work.
