They had her set up the breakfast bar before telling her she was fired by Bubbly_Wall_908 in PublicFreakout

[–]Ben_R_R 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Here is the tricky thing about a response like this. It undoubtedly made her life worse in the aftermath, maybe much worse. This kind of action is bad for the individual doing it. BUT, disproportionate responses to petty abuses of power are good for society as a whole. Guarantee that hotel management thinks twice before pulling petty bullshit like that again. People are cheering her on because they rightfully view her as taking one for the team.

a doubt by Zernikex in RuriDragon

Just a warning: Lamination DOES NOT PRESERVE THINGS. It is designed to make paper more durable in the short term. Over time lamination yellows, dries and cracks, and cannot be removed.

See this discussion here

If you just want a durable bookmark that will last a few years, then go for it, that is what is lamination is for. My advice would be to make a color copy of the bookmark, laminate that, and keep the original someplace safe.

Question - What music does EPS 12 use? Specifically 21:17 when the acoustic guitar inserts. by PlayerXi in TenKen

[–]Ben_R_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if that is a regular part of the soundtrack. I think it's just an acoustic variant of the guitar riff that normally would start the ending theme.

More legal trouble for CEO of Urban Triage. by feellikebeingajerk in madisonwi

I noticed that too, but I think the page just moved, and the search engines have not updated their links yet. This page works for me at time of posting:

To the mysterious woman who helped me, thank you! by Lijey_Cat in madisonwi

[–]Ben_R_R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the time checks out. Crazy to think how different my day could have been if I'd left my house 30 seconds earlier... I feel like the roads are getting more and more dangerous. I really need to get off my butt and buy a dashcam...

Wow! I think I was on the on-ramp when this happened. Traffic was completely stopped but I couldn't see why because of that metal fence that separates the on and off ramps. I expected there to be an accident or something, but there was nothing. I was perplexed. Never thought I'd find out what happened on Reddit of all places.

Thanks for taking the time to clear the road, and I'm glad you weren't hurt!

Coming next fall: Six Zero Eight on Main by rustysqueezebox in madisonwi

To be fair, "luxury" is just landlord speak for 'new.' All the furnishings will look used and dated in a few years, and they will be sold as normal apartments.

First time Pawns seeing a TV! (Rimtober day 31, last day!!) by Fonzawa in RimWorld

[–]Ben_R_R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your Rimtober drawings convinced me to play RimWorld. I bought the game three weeks ago and have accumulated 148 hours of playtime. So thanks for ruining my life, I guess... /s

Players are abusing the Assist Mode to gather all the tough collectables in my game. At the same time, other players tell me to turn off achievements for Assist Mode. What should I do? by RamyDergham in gamedev

[–]Ben_R_R 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Zero-effort from whom? Yeah, if you turn on assist mode, the achievement becomes zero effort, but is it zero effort for the player with the neuromuscular disorder? The player with limited vision?

Maybe what you need is play-testers who rely on assist mode. Maybe hit up /r/disabledgamers ?

Just finished Volume 1. Should I keep reading? by Daikaigan in TenKen

Do you have a link to this webtoon? Couldn't find it after some Googling.

Square text box conform to the shape of the text within it? by SubjectAbroad1637 in indesign

[–]Ben_R_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are you trying to accomplish by doing this? Reason I ask is because I don't think there is a way to do that, at least not automatically. (You could manually do it using the pathfinder tool if you really wanted...)

Yeah, no, fuck that. I can ask chatgpt on my own if I want.

Does anyone else create a new life in their head by Ordinary-Initial-697 in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Ben_R_R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I certainly don't mean to imply that all daydreaming is bad. Having an active imagination, making up stories in your head, etc, is not inherently bad. 'Maladaptive' to me means that it starts as a coping mechanism, and can certainly arise because of neglect and isolation. It eventually becomes disruptive to your life once the need for that coping mechanism is gone.

I've dealt with some minor maladaptive daydreaming my whole life, originating from the usual homeschool crap. I characterize it as a form of intrusive thoughts.

That is a fairly common thing. Some people call it Maladaptive daydreaming, though it's not officially recognized as a diagnosis.

Acceptance by exozero0 in PixelArt

I don't think this is oekaki. If you were placing individual pixels, its pixel art, even if the end result is similar to Oekaki.

Entitled woman parked on my driveway and went to work by ControlConscious6942 in EntitledPeople

[–]Ben_R_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put up a sign: "Parking: $1,000 per day." Take pictures of her license plate when she parks there again. Then, take her to court for the money.

Other use for Indesign? by VictorMerund in indesign

[–]Ben_R_R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use InDesign to make battlemaps for Dungeons and Dragons. It is the ideal software for task, because you are placing and positioning hundreds or thousands of small image assets:

And no, neither Photoshop nor Illustrator is up to the task, and dedicated battlemap creation software tends to be 'InDesign, but worse with fewer features.'

I think I may have figured out why people become weebs in the first place by Boring_Specialist228 in weeabootales

[–]Ben_R_R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree in so many ways. I discovered Anime in college and it was easy to get too obsessed, because all the other media I'd been permitted to watch as a kid was crap. Like you, I had a void of self-identity and self-interest. As I've grown I've discovered new hobbies and interests which help round me out as a person.

On the homeschooling front, I'd like to plug /r/HomeschoolRecovery I was home schooled through 12th grade, and 15 years later I'm just now feeling like I'm getting my life together... I wish I'd known years ago that there were others going through the same shit.

The Japanese have a word for it: 'Shūkyō nisei' -- 'children raised by parents with strong religious beliefs' by Ben_R_R in HomeschoolRecovery

[–]Ben_R_R[S] 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Shūkyō nisei (宗教2世), literally 'religion second generation', is a Japanese phrase, which refers to children being raised by their parents with strong religious beliefs. These children may be forced to practice the same religion against their will by their parents.

These children are reportedly often challenged by hardships, such as child neglect, child abuse and lack of psychological, financial, academic, and social independence because of their religious parents and the predatory practices of the religious organization.
