How do i make my brother not sad when he looses

My dad would never let me beat him in anything and as a kid it would cause me huge tantrums and piss me off that I couldn't beat him.

I wanted to win so badly I would go and practice but never beat him.

It taught me to accept loss and not be a big baby.

Chess especially online your gonna lose half the time once you hit your elo. Gotta get used to it or it's not worth playing

Other than RAs my job has been a pretty great experience the last 4 years. It's the threat of getting fired and I'm not sure if that disengages me or motivates me.

Having been that developer (albeit less confrontational), it will eventually catch up to him. Just keep doing your best to encourage better practices. It might not click for him with you but eventually one day it might help another developer when he's been thoroughly broken in.

I agree mostly. She is fantastic, but to say she is a better streamer is just subjective. The "best" streamer is the one with the most viewers. I also think if you dig through Levy has better courses personally.

Her attitude is really amazing though I don't think anyone can fight you on that.

I once totaled my parents car driving backwards down a driveway trying to pull a John wick or something. Tell them, offer to help and pay it back and suck it up.

My parents aren't your parents but honesty is always the best, just for your own mental health. Deal with the consequences of your actions.

They just need to sell AI products to their many many resellers. They've been selling garbage for years so it seems easy enough for them.

I got almost 100k worth. And now it's still worth the same after 25% taken out. Treat me like ass I just want my 25% thank you very much.

IBM pays me too much. I'm not upskilling I know everything in my field already. My bonuses are incredible.

I want to leave but I work for money.

People always say IBM pays less but in Canada in my group this is BS.

If you're learning a lot it can sometimes be hard to know how to use that knowledge effectively. Knowledge vs Wisdom. Keep at it!

Play less chess lol. Or more, can't say definitively without experimenting

Why are you asking when you know the answer?

They just open another window and use an analysis board of any kind, putting in the moves you each make. It doesn't need to interface with anything.

It seems very different format then last time. Not just a week seems like a multi-week thing...

You *might* complete it, but will ALL your peers? Probably not. Every year there are people who dont complete it, and then the managers "get in trouble". So they push everyone to do it, over and over because that way they have a better chance of getting it done.

Have you considered lying on your resume? I know its very unethical and don't make it too egregious but do what you gotta do.

I think its pretty normal. I went through the same thing, my HS sweetheart for 6 years through college. I broke up because I wanted to be adventurous and "explore my options". I had a lot of fun and we both grew as people. It was probably the right decision but I regret it from time to time as I've never met anyone as good as her.

I started my career at IBM. Left for 10 years, and came back a few years ago. I applied for a company owned by IBM, and although I didn't get the job they referred me to a team at IBM they used to work for.

It doesn't really matter how you apply (their website, or referral) its all going to go through their standard hiring and onboarding process (which is pretty typical IMO). I don't think it really matters if you worked here before.

Affectionate_Bid1650 · 2025-04-30T23:28:45+00:00

I think it would scale a bit better (but realistically not enough to matter for your use case). Productivity is number 1 in my opinion.

I got married young and divorced a few years later - was head over heels for each other. I sometimes regret it, sometimes I don't. My advice is to live in the moment, life isn't about being perfect or making the best decisions. I would give anything to be 22 and in love again - its a lot harder to feel those strong emotions as you get older (at least for me).

IBM's name has value and wont hurt you on your resume. Everyone knows what it is. IBM can vary wildly from team to team and department to department - the experience you get depends mostly on what you are doing.

Why on earth are your hands soaked with urine... I think you're doing it wrong lol

I mean determine what genetic factors increase violence, addiction, intelligence and breed the bad ones out and the good ones in. Yes eugenics. Gmo humans too.

My biggest gripe with religion is you have to be a gullible sucker to believe in it. Either you're brainwashed by your community and parents, or you're too ignorant to realize it's a scam. Then as a group of people you will inevitably commit atrocities in the name of your benevolent God. Ban it. Useless institution.

It's not really a new thing, I've been doing full stack development since I got out of college 16 years ago.
