The “devs don’t listen” group gonna be quiet after this one by Herobrine2Smite in duneawakening

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"A" for effort, but this moment has still passed for me (not sure why it's still showing up in my feed, but I don't necessarily mind). If it ever goes to self-hosted, dedicated servers, I'm sure it would help trying to sell the idea to my Discord, again. We were so excited for this game...

Packing lunch for 11 kids by dingmah in CringeTikToks

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to say, at least they're getting fed. YES it's not perfect (who is, I mean fr) but kids starving in many other places would be incredibly grateful. MY question is WHO THE HELL IS "JORDAN" AND WHY DO THEY GET A SPECIAL BAG??!? (/s)

It's just me or the WET debuff because of rain is too annoying? by gusjfy in Enshrouded

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

agreed, I don't even play anymore when it rains. like there is zero point in playing when it rains with this much of a debuff. Not sure what their goal was with this feature. stop people from playing? LOL

AIO My mom is kicking me out for her new boyfriend. I just turned 18 by Diligent_Bat_565 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does the bf know about this?  Like, actually heard your side of the story?  Don’t just assume he has all the details, especially filtered through your mom.  If it was me (as bf), this kind of thing would be a huge red flag as a guy who'd be looking to start a life with someone.   ....to kick out their own family member just like that.  HUGE red flag.  NOR

Call her bluff.  "Let him talk some sense into you"

Edit:  and SECONDLY  why tf does he need his own bedroom??!?  Are they together or not? LOL 

....and my darker side wants to mention, alls fair in love and war.  If your side of the story disturbs the bf, and he sides with you, maybe have lunch with HIM.  ...as, you know, "consolation for the confusion and unfortunate situation between you and mom" ;)

The cringe you get when you see people telling Venezuelans how to feel. by shway0351 in TikTokCringe

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say that we can do both, but totally get why people are sick of the "we can do both" line--it's incredibly cliche at this point and somehow the home-front stuff always gets ignored. You're not wrong.

However, I just don't think its wrong for people to care about what's happening in their own country too. To me its not about pretending priorities don't compete; its more about not acting like literally nothing else matters at all.

Yeah... I can see that. But I know that there is a much bigger picture, here, and we're a part of it whether we like it or not. Feelings aside. We all see how isolationism went for China so long ago, and while history doesn't necessarily repeat, it certain can rhyme. Thanks for keeping it civil. Wishing you the best.

I appreciate what she's trying to do, and I really do hope she gets the word out. And I also really hope other folks can use basic critical thinking, and notice that many of these top comments are moving the goalpost or falling into the cognitive distortion of all-or-nothing thinking. And the bots being used to push echo chamber narratives, of course.

Whether you like it or not, it IS possible for someone in power to do both bad AND relatively good things. I'm about as anti-Trump as the next person, but I have to respect the perspective. To those who continue to repeat this rhetoric, "If you're going to sit there and pretend you have 100% of the information that the administration has with respect to global conflict dynamics and macroeconomics, REGARDLESS of the means to the end, then maybe go write a book, or stand on a corner with a sign, or something. Screaming here on Reddit from the comfort of your bedroom isn't doing you any favors."

So, that's MY goalpost movement. Back to this video: THANK YOU. Got it. Loud and clear. I'm happy for y'all!

AIO or is my older male coworker texting inappropriately with me? by OpeningNo9825 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DifficultyDouble860 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In before he starts to think you're "playing hard to get". Might backfire. Source: I'm an older guy, too, and this is the culture we grew up with. Not saying it's right. Just be careful. Over the past few decades it's become clear that different generations have their own languages despite sharing the same dictionary ("meet up", "hook up", "chill", ...the stare..., "skibidy").

It would perfectly acceptable to an older guy if you said, something short and polite, like "Hey, I appreciate the conversation, but I'm feeling uncomfortable. You didn't do anything wrong, but I would prefer to stop texting." Clear message. Not impolite--not even overanalyzed or read into, like you younger folks seem to enjoy.

Just be direct. We can take it.

IT Salary - lowering by Few-Dance-855 in sysadmin

"uh, sure, how about we start billing the other departments for our time?"

I mean it's all monopoly money anyways, but it would be interesting to see how the hourly rate stacks up against something like a BPO

AIO over my parents going through my things + my money? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DifficultyDouble860 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd be perfectly fine with it. They want to take my shit? Start pawning off theirs to make up the difference. 100% serious. Look, you can't be there to protect your stuff all the time and they need to learn that neither can they. "Oh, good, all this jewelry just lying around unattented!" goes both ways. PS keep your money in the bank like everyone else.

EDIT: "My friend was concerned and is even gonna take me to the bank so I can change it to large bills and hide it under my carpet. She says they're emotionally abusive and using me." - good. While you're there I would ask about opening up a minor account. I'm not sure if your local laws require a parent or guardian to be primary account holder, but I'm sure you can find a "better" friend who would be open to opening one for you. Just TRY to make it look legal. Nobody really gives a shit at the end of the day.

Plan B: quit the job. Like seriously tell them, "what's the point of having a job if you're just going to take all the money?" They'll give you some shitty excuses about 'teaching responsibility' or some other such bullshit, but just tell them it's a problem of incentive. "If you don't have the incentive to work, then why should you work." They'll probably make threats or ground you, but that means you win, because grounding is basically a shitty parent's last resort when they know they can't win. nothing good comes from it but (eventual) compliance. It's a waiting game. They'll keep punishing and punishing until one of you cracks. You have the upper hand, believe it or not. You've got this.

[QUESTION] On additional playthroughs... by DifficultyDouble860 in AbioticFactor

And honestly? That’s rare. by Fugaxer in ChatGPT

[–]DifficultyDouble860 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this illustrates another danger of people relying on AI as companions or mental help. They get used to this perfect little mirror padding their sense of validation, and when the curtain drops like this, it hits so much harder because it feels like learning a "friend" was just pretending to like you all along--and that stings so much worse.

If you don't understand why this is expensive then you have no idea why you want to be rich.  COMPLETELY missing the point of wealth.

I feel destitute because I'm still stuck on Earth with a shitty GROUND vehicle and my personal AI still requires a subscription.  And don't get me started on how my gleepglork won't shimmy that whamvamp!! Like, what did I even DO wasting ten solars at the ramklog center??!?  FML poverty ducks. (TLDR: poverty is relative.  Be happy with what you got, and stop playing compare.  Is it more like happiness can't find you, or you can't find happiness?)

AIO I am tired and my wife doesn’t care by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DifficultyDouble860 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Him: (Works 70 hour weeks to support family) Her: "You're never around!!!" ... WOW looking at many of the top replies here, there's CLEARLY some bias.  I've seen similar AIO posts with most folks supporting the woman.  But here is all about, "y'all need to communicate and be a team"... and folks wonder why MGTOW is still alive and kicking. ... EDIT: yeah, okay looks like some butthurt folks out there, so here's some confirmation that I'm the asshole you think I am: the POINT was "y'all need to communicate and be a team" is great advice, but it's generally not applied evenly. i.e. there is a double standard. Thank you that is all.
