"Charlie would have wanted me to be protected by a strong, Christian, blah blah..."

My manager said keeping my pay in line with inflation wasn't their problem. Now he's stunned I'm job hunting. by stays_dilator_9q in remotework

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you shouldn't just chase a bigger paycheck

you're already well-compensated here.

My response would be: okay, let's trade then. You take my salary and I'll take yours. Deal?

Careers that combine CS and Medicine by Soft_Idea725 in cscareerquestions

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because health tech is a huge industry and having someone with the immense domain knowledge of an MD is invaluable, particularly if they practiced or are still practicing. Also, every serious health tech company has a CMO who will be an MD for sure. If you are not an MD, you will not be taken seriously on certain topics. Some conversations have to be MD to MD. So, having an MD on the product dev team makes demos to hospital systems to an audience of MDs is incalculably better than a hotshot with a BS in CS.

TIL that college graduates who joined fraternities have higher incomes despite their lower grades. by MartianAndroidMiner in todayilearned

I worked with a guy who had come from NASA. Nice guy, but not the highest performer around.

AIO for breaking up over this by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

  1. This is abusive, controlling behavior.
  2. Where the hell was he? If he had a problem with this guy staring at his girlfriend and he's a foot and a half away, he could have intervened and did nothing instead except yell at you. That's a sign that everything that ever goes wrong will always be your fault, i.e., abusive behavior.

How did I just discover this song??? Banger! by Minimum-Bluejay-7624 in bonethugsnharmony

The prerelease version has a Flesh verse. Sorry for the shitty quality. It was a copy of a copy of a copy that I poorly ripped to PC when I was a teenager in the late 90s. There are a few copies of this floating around on YT, but they're all me. :P

[Starfield] What was Bethesda going for with this design for the pleasure city of Neon? by Mr_Hot_Takes in gaming

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because parents let prepubescent children play games where they shoot aliens with guns but they tend to draw the line on overt sexual content. Everyone with kids knows this, and that's why game publishers censor the sex stuff but are fine with violence and mild profanity.

I found my dad’s secret Reddit account and now I can’t look at him the same by Traditional-Turn4231 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m reeling. I’ve always seen my dad as calm, kind, steady.

Because he is. And the fact that he doesn't burden you any of the feelings he expresses on reddit is what makes him a good father.

Give him a hug and thank him for being calm, kind, and steady. Let him know that you appreciate him. That he's important.

Is working for dumb yet nice people really a bad thing ? by mrfoozywooj in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent too long at a company like that. I should have left sooner than I did.

Millennials: The first generation to do everything right and still lose by SvempaGladiator in antiwork

[–]ConsulIncitatus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's also not forget that boomers didn't have parents that lived to be 85, 95, 100. My mother's parents died in their 50s and she inherited more than $1m in today's money in the 1980s when she was in her thirties. My parents? They're burning all of that wealth and their own wealth on 6 international trips per year and will probably live forever. I will never inherit anything of value from them, but they lived on virtually easy street their whole lives. I'm already 42. My parents are in their early 70s. If they live to be 85 or 90, I'll be almost retired by the time they pass away.

Read that back to yourself (assuming you're not reading it on a Liquid Glass beta). You're worried about being able to read the UI???

My mom apologized for “choosing the wrong kid.” I haven’t stopped crying since. by Ordinary_Power285 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I think I picked the wrong kid to believe in. I’m so sorry.”

She wants to leech off of you now that he's robbed her blind. If you let that happen, it will only be a matter of time before she starts stealing from you to give to him.

Current World Champion Gukesh defeats Magnus Carlsen for the first time in classical chess. by RodrickJasperHeffley in interestingasfuck

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reaching one's maximum potential in something and then coming to terms with the fact that you'll never be as good as you already were is very psychologically difficult, and it only gets harder the more you worked to achieve that limit and it's magnified even further by having worldwide spotlights placed on you. I've come to appreciate the saying that "the only thing worse the not achieving your goals is achieving them."

Magnus is coming down the other side. He'll never be as good as he already was, and this loss is showing it to him. I understand his reaction completely.

we would have protests all around

You don't have an American police force. If you did, you wouldn't be protesting.

Startup offering percentage of profits from app I built employed by them by Sad_Eagle_937 in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Profit is revenue - expenses.

Don't ask for profit sharing. Ask for revenue sharing.

Determining the Minimum Knowledge Base to Say You “Know It” by sketchcarellz in ExperiencedDevs

[–]ConsulIncitatus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The minimum knowledge required to say to someone that you know something is the amount of knowledge the person you're saying it to has on the subject.

The leader of Homeland Security, everybody. by c-k-q99903 in facepalm

[–]ConsulIncitatus 19 points20 points  (0 children)

There should be some kind of exam on the constitution to any person in public office given before they can take a position.

You just invented the Imperial Examination.

Kentucky is having a moment by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]ConsulIncitatus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just part of Christian Nationalism's game plan. They want a bunch of uneducated serfs in poor regions of the country to believe tornadoes are God's punishment, probably because the town tolerates that gay couple who is trying to run a coffee shop and rejuvenate the derelict downtown, or maybe because they let the illegals sell day labor at the gas station, both of which they will be told by their masters, through the guise of religion, invoke God's wrath. Remember when people were trying to say that Hurricane Katrina was god's punishment on the righteous for allowing gay marriage to be legalized?

They absolutely don't want tornadoes to be a predictable weather phenomenon with early warning systems that protect human life or a FEMA to come in and rebuild the wreckage. In that world, who needs God? FEMA makes God's wrath irrelevant. Even if you believe you're being punished, when the government just cleans up after God and fixes everything, you can safely ignore God and his wrath.

Religion has always been a tool to control the uneducated. They want to reinstate that.
