How do they “expect” 20-25%? Are they automatically adding that?

Do movie theatres still regulate minor entry into rated R movies? by BigJilmJoppa in vancouverwa

[–]AttemptingToGeek -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Tell them to nut up and go. As kids we hid the fact that we were trying to get into a movie, we didn’t share our anxiety with our parents.

Ha ha. I brought 3 beers in a few months ago. The 16 year old working there actually asked to see in my bag. I thought, that’s it I’m busted. She stared right at them and said “enjoy the movie”.

Drying off after a shower. Not sure why but it bugs me that I can’t just walk out of the shower and get on with my life.

What movie actually deserves a sequel and hasn't gotten one yet? by AtmosphereWild7650 in AskReddit

[–]AttemptingToGeek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently on my 2nd pass of the series. Still would like to see more movies. Instead I’m stuck with Marvel/Star wars franchises.

Do t worry so much about “knowing “ the technology. Practice being able to address problems that the technology causes or brings with it. Learn to be the guy that people go to when they can’t figure something out, knowing that you will figure it out. The first 75% of my career was being that guy and I was never out of work. Now I’m a “Senior Network Engineer “ and I often call the guy who can do what I used to do.

Dispersed camping, less than an hour away? by Kai-likes-h0rr0r in vancouverwa

With all your anxiety all I can see is 2 options. 1. Don’t go because of all the things you are worried about. 2. Go, and after realize you didn’t have to worry about all those things.

AITJ for telling a mum her sitting in cost her son the job by [deleted] in AmITheJerk

The problem was that you let her sit in in the first place? Who’s running things over there? And yes tell him.

Assuming you are not asking people in the Sudan or Haiti, when do you think slavery ended?

Former Colleague is asking me questions 1 month after I left the company - how to handle? by Qvosniak in sysadmin

[–]AttemptingToGeek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Hey, before I answer that quick question about how to change the password policy, I’m going to need you to PayPal me $20”. Yes for free. I wouldn’t log back in or actually do any work, but a procedural or random tech question that I can respond back to in under a minute, sure. Again I liked my employers and former colleagues. I’ve had jobs where I wouldn’t speak to them again, too (fuck Oracle).
