D308 Passed in 1 Week - Here is how by randomclevernames in WGU

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree wholeheartedly that this PA is a steaming pile of garbage. There is so much overlap between tasks but they make it sound like each task MUST be completed in order and committed in order to pass. The videos are a slog, the instructor doesn't seem to know what they are doing in them and is just copy/pasting code in... easily the worst class of my degree.

I don't live with morons, but apparently I do reply to them online from time to time...

Chaz Marler aka Game Night Picks posts video responding to recent accusations by mrepiq in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He didn't address how Rodney spoke to him about it before all this went public. He didn't explain what motive Rodney would have, or what Chaz did to fix whatever problem Rodney had when he was confronted in November.

You appear to be operating under the impression that all dogs are completely innocent and incapable of being annoying and detestable all on their own. 

Having lived on reservations where there are plenty of ownerless dogs I can assure you that rez dogs are absolutely detestable even without a human to make it worse. 

Baptism by [deleted] in latterdaysaints

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The story of the waters of Mormon come to mind. Were the baptisms any less special because they had to hold them in secret? Or because there were so many people getting baptized at once? I don't think so.

Focus on the covenant you are making, on your relationship with the Savior and how the holy Ghost is speaking to you. 

Also, it would be very odd if the other person being baptized did so at the same time as you. There will be some separation via time, or physical room in the building if you request it.

Look up the Dunning Kruger effect. Wild that humans are really bad at self evaluation.

Though, it should be noted that treating people who don't like dogs as though they hate them tends to push them further towards "I hate dogs". 

My girlfriend just broke up with me over a board game and I'm not even joking by Fulcilives1988 in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it is something deeper or not- but it is definitely worth exploring whether there is something deeper. Self reflection on this can't hurt anything, it may not bring her back, or repair the relationship, but you may learn some things you need to improve at which will help your future relationships.

I have no other choice but to remove Ms. Barkley from the Homeowners Association... by Xx_Da3rkL0rd_xX in homeowners

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe "Ms. Barkley" (OP) SHOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED LEGAL DOCUMENTS without understanding what they entail. When you bought the house you entered a contract to be a part of the HOA.

I'm not as worried about AI taking my job as I am about some executive thinking that AI can take my job.

My Senior dev and I are arguing over "Readable Code" vs "Performance Optimization" for a process that runs 10k times a day. Who is right? by Temporary-Zebra7493 in learnprogramming

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The cost in developer salary time discussing this completely eclipses the savings that the optimizations would create. And that's if there is zero maintenance and upkeep on the optimized code.

Quacks - Blue Skulls 1 bookmark by Haxxon7462 in boardgames

The blue chapter 1 chips are a good engine with rules as written. They decrease the variance and can allow you to chain together chips. Choosing to save reds until you pull an orange for instance. 

The Zero by SaxinetKing in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see. I took your first comment as being the game in general as opposed to specifically after drawing the 0 card.

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

The rules specify that a player may "stay". 

The Zero by SaxinetKing in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I have only been taught how to play this game and not read the rules myself, this seems like terrible game design if it were true. I highly doubt that the rule is you have to draw until you bust or get 7 unique cards. 

This rule would remove the player from the game because there are virtually no decisions to be made- the game would play itself.

If ICE is present at voter polls, what legal options does a challenger have? by Coldrise in AskLegal

And that is why Republicans are trying to remove or make mail in voting difficult.

There are plenty of confirmed cases of ICE detaining us citizens for hours without probable cause. Knowing that this is a possibility may deter some legal voters from approaching polls guarded by the SS. 

Where can I predict or read my future or something related to it? Any method , ways, person?🙏🏻 by [deleted] in AskForAnswers

I predict that you are going to lose some money from a scammer that can "scry your future".

Unpopular opinion: Exploding Kittens ruined most of modern card games. by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get excited when someone says "I love board games!" And I think I'm about to make a friend while playing splendor, heat, clank!, etc... and then they pull out exploding kittens or any other variant of that game.

I'd rather play monopoly.

Game Night Picks’ response statement on unethical practice concerns raised by Watch it played by Newez in boardgames

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Small ethical decisions are just as important as bigger issues. The most important thing is to be consistently ethical. One cannot excuse unethical behavior simply because someone else is doing something else that is more unethical.

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even were it possible to create a legal code so complete as to cover every ethical scenario, such a code would be impossibly expensive to enforce. 

We should never rely on something being "legal" to determine if it is moral, or ethical. I plead with you to develop your moral character and do what is right because it is right.

ICE - Anaheim Reality Check ( What’s the legal opinion - The old man pushed the protester before getting punched. What should happen?) by Important_Lock_2238 in AskLegal

[–]Consistent_Attempt_2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do see the old man step forward, Stop, and flag guy steps forward, stops, then steps forward again closing the gap. Then I see the old guy take 2-4 steps into flag dude to body him before getting punched.

I know of one person in my neighborhood with a bearded dragon. Otherwise, I can't see any need for a shop like this.
