I did this today as you suggested. I pretended I was deaf and didn't even look at them when they tried waving at me and calling me. Normal employees no yellow vest either so they're not even AP. Just kept walking

Interesting insight and I have experienced what you talk about in the earlier years. I really feel like we need some sort of free community of tools and resources we can pay for together as a community either through ads or subscription or something that has a bunch of incredible tools people can use. Like $15 a month to cover all server costs for a bunch of free programs any of us could use

I think you and a lot of others are late to the idea that mildly is kinda like a joke. Many things are majorly infuriating. On the reddit, many of their top posts aren't even major. They're catastrophic, just absurd. I've yet to find anything mild

Sadly we can't survive on low pay. That's just death

Thanks for sharing your experience. Even if it seems insignificant, I know it must've been so hard to go through. That trauma is understandable and makes you human. I appreciate you sharing it.

I've thought about going into management too. I have 5 years in my industry. I could be manager next. But I've never been trained. Idk how to lead. Idk how to report progress, manage projects, delegate, answer questions I don't have the answers to. Lie to my employees and subordinates as to why they're average even if they're exceptional. Meets expectations, everyone gets that. So many new challenges id have to face I'm nervous about.

But then again I could just get laid off again after landing a manager job. Who knows? It's terrifying thinking about moving up

This is a very weird visual

The fact that it hasn't been banned outright in the EU is cowardice. This is such a horrible timeline we are living in. How in the world did the biggest governments in the entire world and legal systems just get cucked to the point where a literal hate platform ran by a Nazi sympathizer throwing sig heils all over the place is even allowed in Europe?

Yup There's going to be a whole lot more almost people too. Because there's no no refilling program in the USA. What are you supposed to do if you have a Masters in computer science and 5 years of experience? You can't just go back to college for a 60K degree in nursing or become an electrician or something....

Yes, I've used both on Windows 11. Unfortunately, does nothing for the User Interface size. But that's exactly what I had to do to get the original games to run before this shameless flip.

I get what you're saying, but who do you think they're going to look up to now? It's like Batman where penguin is the big head honcho, and now all the slimy underlings start to look up to him because he gets away with so much, and now everyone else wants to do the same thing because they think there's no consequences except that we have no Batman

Lol this same person once told me that he doesn't support LGBT or Black lives matter or any of that because he doesn't agree with those communities and thinks that they are hateful

Not sure about moist

What do you mean by moist? 🤔

he shouldn’t have to be an outright prick

I think he has no idea of self-perception. It seems like he is completely oblivious to it.

There's OSRS still, for the moment "uncorrupted", but it's basically starting fresh even when your account existed when OSRS was Runescape

Unfortunately you're a little bit behind on the times. They basically gave up on fighting bots because they know that they pay a subscription and there's no point in getting rid of them if they are a recurring source of revenue, so they quietly stopped fighting back against them and claim that it's not possible to solve the problem when they know exactly what they can do to solve it. Endgame is basically non-existent, it's literally just grinding the same exact bosses infinitely to fill out collection log or get a specific pet. That's the entire end game. They have done nothing to actually make the game more enjoyable and that's kind of a problem for people because if you've already maxed wood cutting and fishing, what's the incentive of doing it again on another account?

Us RuneScape vets who quit knew this was coming when they started playing hot potato with Jagex limited. They keep selling it to different companies, now it's owned by a shitty investment company that basically kills off the companies it buys so it owns the IP and doesn't have to keep the games alive. It can then flip the IP for huge amounts of money. But anyway... Both versions of the game are just cash grabs at this point designed to waste the maximum amount of players time

This is like you complaining about not getting a medium rare burger from mcdonalds.

lmfao careful commenting this, some "influencer" is gonna try that now and post it YouTube

Dude you're comparing something stupidly expensive like liquor to coffee. like what?? 10 years ago, you could get an iced coffee less ice, it had like 5 ice cubes in it. Now they just give you half the amount of coffee what the hell? How can you even justify that? If we're talking about some expensive top shelf liquor that costs $30-80 a bottle, sure, I get that. But this is literally sugary coffee and milk!

Are you a corporate apologist or something? cause your reply sounds like the most absurd logic ever. Back in 2010 I remember dunkin giving you more milk if you got a less ice coffee, it wasn't an automated machine.

The concept of a mental health trigger refers specifically to something that reactivates a traumatic memory and induces serious distress in the person triggered

the trauma or stress is that everything costs more now in the USA, and provides diminishing returns. This is definitely a trigger. Everything is more expensive, and every place is giving you less of it than they were a decade ago or more. When I was in high school around the 2000s-2010s, you go to a coffee shop, there was no malicious hyper-profit maximizing bullshit. $2-3 max for an iced latte or coffee, and you could just have it customized. You want more milk, less ice? Sure! Now everything is maximum cost, and no. No, we can't customize that, but it costs 250% more than it did 5 years ago. So yeah, it's triggering, and I can say it's triggering because we are FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT. EVERYTHING COSTS SO MUCH MONEY. $6 for a coffee which is HALF ICE???? I can go get a huge ass bag of ice FOR $3!!!! Why am I paying SIX DOLLARS... FOR A CUP OF ICE?!?!?!?!?1?!?!?
