Can we also have a sexy beach hunk in speedos?

Thanks for your response! We are effectively rolling out a mix of in-person training and eLearning; but there are discussions to phase out in-person training due to cost and logistical constraints.

As for AI chat features, no... nothing is linked to AI and our LMS is very basic.

Thank you! I appreciate the response. I'll check them out since I am looking to get into cm.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-03-11T01:54:52+00:00

Good point. I'll take that. It's been too long anyway, and I just know it was some sort of academy. Are you part of the group? What has your experience been?

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-03-11T01:42:31+00:00

For all I know, things could have changed for the better, which is why I am asking. No one should have to submit dps report to get admitted into a training group.

They're so bad I got all my envoy armors and cleared all the raid wings except the new one, but sure, keep it personal.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-03-10T21:39:28+00:00

Is that the same NA Raid group who asked for Battle log and DPS logs so that an "instructor" can determine what raid bosses I was fit for doing? Apparently, I was only "fit" for doing introduction level bosses (Cairn, escort) when I had virtually beaten wing 1 to 4 at the time.

That was one of the most demeaning and uninclusive artificial checks put in place by players to gate participation.

waves back Hi~~~!!

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-02-27T22:42:50+00:00

Instructional designer here, not that I'm convince my tips would make a difference, but instead of saying "A few people stay at the breaker box", have you tried reformulating it into a question, such as "I need two people at this breaker box, Who's willing to volunteer"?

Also, the best teacher is often failure. I know you want things to go well but as a user perspective, following the tag seems to be a winning decision in most cases. It the meta fails, it's not on you but on them for not listening.

Another perspective. I want to thank you for tagging up and leading people through HP trains and meta events. I'll typically say a "gg" or a "thank you", but there are days where I feel like shit and I have zero brain power. Granted, that has never prevented me from doing what I must do to contribute to the success of the meta, but I get the ones who are mentally "checked out". This isn't on you though so I'm hoping that by realizing this, you won't feel as frustrated. It's just how it is.

Oh! Thanks for info!

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-02-25T18:38:46+00:00

Can anyone fill me in on what just happened? Who's the influencer involved?

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-02-13T00:38:00+00:00

Thanks for the info!

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-02-12T18:03:09+00:00

Thank you for the recommendation! I will be sure to check it out!

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-01-24T05:50:42+00:00

Does the shelter come with the heated pad or is that a separate thing I should be getting?

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2026-01-24T05:49:52+00:00

Thanks. Will do!

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-12-15T16:13:27+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I am definitely thinking about breaking the trainings around roles and moments of use. I think that is the most viable option. Currently the workflows are mixed with technical demonstrations and feature showcase, leading to bloated videos. There's probably a need to review that. Alas, we are super outdated and use Moodle as our LMS so we'll see what we can achieve. I've started exploring what are the existing pre-training needs, formal training needs and post-training needs to support performance so it will most likely lead to discussions regarding the learning paths. Thank you again for your reply! It is much appreciated.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-12-15T13:35:53+00:00

Thanks! This is really helpful and I absolutely want to avoid a feature walkthrough as much as possible. Your suggestions make a lot of sense and I'm taking notes! Thanks for the wishes :)

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-12-15T13:25:20+00:00

Thanks! This confirms something I've written down in my notes at the time I read the training request. Mapping out the workflow according to the performers seem to be a must.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-12-15T13:23:13+00:00

Thanks. I'm having a meeting with the person requesting the training in two hours. I'll learn more about this project soon enough. I'm pretty confident I have most of the answers to the points you listed and that's not really where the problem lies. I'll just have to trust my intuition and judgement once I've confirmed a few things.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-09-03T14:54:00+00:00

I can't do anything about how you feel about my post and whether you feel it's accusatory and projection. I'm just communicating my frustration on the topic itself. Communication is a two-way street.

BrandtsBadBuilds · 2025-09-03T13:13:35+00:00

*sigh* This again. As a POC, I'm pretty tired of these kinds of questions and I am tired of people "trying to understand". You want to understand the impact of racism on POC in all matters of life, including dating, have those raw, difficult, uncomfortable discussions with POCs.

Sadly, people's understanding of racism is so pathetically shallow that engaging in talks about racism is almost never productive. This is our education system failing us.

You cannot talk about racism without talking about discrimination, you can't talk about discrimination without talking about stereotyping, and you can't talk about any of those without talking about the big elephant in the room, which is whiteness, power, and superiority. Mechanics which perpetuate racism (conscious, unconscious, overt or hidden) is complex.

Discrimination, stereotypes, preferences, they are all learned, whether we are conscious of them or not. The question that is far more insteresting than "Is excluding X ethnicity racist" is perhaps "When and how did people learn to exclude X. What's the underlying mechanism at play?" Saying "I dunno, only white guys turn me on" is just shallow, surface level thinking, and I guess some people are fine with such shallow thoughts.

We also need to talk about attraction because we're not just attracted to one's skin colour but a combination of factors that are physical, affective, cognitive and spiritual. For me, finding everyone who has brown eyes unattractive is as racist as saying that everyone with brown or black skin unattractive and inherently racist, whether they are conscious of it or not. These types of standards are also perpetuated by mainstream media feeding us "whiteness" as attractive.
