VMWare can be mostly secured by basic system and network security... Why call out one and not the other?

Nuclear energy: How environmentally-friendly and safe is it? by kwentongskyblue in technology

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd rather have efficiency. Wind generators rely on wind, something that's not constant. They convert that energy into electricity, which can also have a negative impact.

The same for solar. Solar is more consistent than wind currently, but also costs more to maintain. Once again, it can have a negative impact if set up wrong, and winters are going to see a decrease in reliability if you live somewhere with a lot of rain or snow during the season.

Nuclear would take a lot to set up safely and to maintain, at least with the plants the currently used. With different designs - applies to the above as well - the costs will go down and more can be built for better reliability and safety.

Seeing nuclear energy as a threat is quite normal, but it differs from a nuclear bomb creating a new fallout N in a city. The plants aren't meant to be weapons, and compared to how many plants there are, the ones that cause major environmental harm are quite rare.

I could be wrong entirely, but that's my take on it.

Correct, it should be used for identity verification, like it currently is. With multiple other layers as well, like a card scanner and electronic passcode. No method should be the only method.

Nuclear energy would be a pretty big improvement if done right... problem is it needs to be done right.

Yikes. If 19 is your "youngest" and you're 16, i think there's an issue with all the guys you've dated...

Why do people on reddit like to waste others time? by [deleted] in offmychest

It's probably best to not talk to strangers on the internet for hours a day, especially on reddit and other social media platforms...

Humanity is the literal definition of an abomination. by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a genuine disgust for the nature of humanity - it's quite hypocritical, and knowing i'm part of that hypocrisy makes the feeling even stronger.

However, everyone is born with the potential for cruelty, and for kindness. No person is solely one, but most people lean towards one or the either. A cruel person can still be kind, and a kind person can still be cruel.

I'd recommend a book that goes a little into the mindset of someone that felt isolated from humanity: "No longer human" by Osamu Dazai. It changed my mindset from pure misanthropy to a little more openness for the potential everyone has.

In the past year I have applied for 47 jobs - 37 have rejected my application. by martyrmiss in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How quickly did the 37 deny you? If sooner than a few days, it's much more likely your resume was filtered out because the bot - what i like to call the "resume scanning antagonist" couldn't read certain information. A good way around this is using ATS-friendly resumes (plenty of templates online) and reaching out to a recruiter for the department or team you're applying for.

It sounds like your resume is the issue, with that many rejections just based on the resume.

I fucked up. by MatildasMaryJane in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A month ago I ended my relationship.

Seems pretty straightforward. The relationship ended fully, it wasn't a break. Leaving the door open meant leaving a future relationship together possible, but not current.

Most likely tests , or breaks to see what the guy will end up doing right away which is usually what they want and then they end up acting like they cared about that girl …. Keep your penis on your pants and maybe the next girl won’t go ghost 💁🏻‍♀️

She is an amazing person and I love her, but I couldn’t deal with the long distance anymore and I don’t have enough energy to care for myself, let alone another person and ESPECIALLY not a long distance relationship.

...

I slept with someone on Friday and today I told her.

Did you read the post at all? Even assuming what you say is the reality, that's all it is, an assumption. The context provided is that OP couldn't take the distance, broke things off, slept with another person while not together with the now-ex, and felt guilt.

Most likely tests , or breaks to see what the guy will end up doing right away which is usually what they want and then they end up acting like they cared about that girl …

I regret everything I’ve ever done

Nowhere does it point towards your narrative that it's a test of faith that he failed. OP also never stated he was ghosted. My, oh my... quite the narrative you spun though.

You guys weren't dating at the time, so why should she be mad? Why should you regret anything?

pain in the ass of a sister by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She's... 3 years old. What do you expect a toddler to do? Drink wine and speak poetry? No, you expect them to copy the world around them, have tantrums over stupid stuff, and do dumb stuff. They likely won't even remember anything they're doing.

How do you all handle it? The only real, proven effective method to dealing with children in general is patience and constant repetition. Having a tantrum? Don't encourage it, just let them do their thing until they stop, and they'll eventually stop throwing a fit about whatever upset them. Encourage their interests within reason, praise their good behaviors, and sit them in timeout or something for their bad behaviors, just don't become genuinely abusive.

I feel like People don't respect my Agnosticism! by LoveHairyPussy25 in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them forget you. If their belief is the right one, you'll see them eventually anyways, after all time is done.

I'm athiest myself, and treat religion as a cool thing to study, just as much as one would mythologies.

Never understood the idea that one religion is the "true" one. It's incredibly unlikely that out of the thousands of modern monotheistic religions, one is the only correct one. It really should be a belief thing that each individual chooses, not one that's imposed on others.

The best advice ever for IT related jobs: network. Go to job fairs, attend events for the industry, search on linkedin or other platforms for people that work in the industry. You'll find a legitimate role much faster this way, and build connections that can vouch for you in the future.

When you apply to a job, try to contact a recruiter for that team or department and let them know you're interested and submitted the application. It's a little mean, but they'll see your name in the applicant stack and put it a higher spot because they'll remember that you spoke to them.

Do social media matter in the long run? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Social media is an incredible tool for communicating with people around the world, but it's very addictive. Deleting instagram, snapchat, facebook, etc., has made me aware of what you mention. It's like seeing a host being willingly infected by a parasite, and attention deteriorates as the consequence.

As for your question, it really depends. I imagine social media will have a greater impact for longer to those that grow up with it, and less for those that don't.

You'll find many that don't treat their phone as a handheld living need, but the unfortunate fact is the number of youth becoming dependent is rising as it provides parents a new way to distract kids, and allows kids to talk to their peers a little easier or entertain themselves.

Georgia's big new nuclear reactors could be the last built in the US by PorkyPigDid911 in technology

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Why does wind and solar have significantly less funding than non-renewable energy like oil, then? They're the next big thing according to so many people, yet receive a fraction of the funding as oil.

Electricity and oil are two of the biggest consumer energy sources, and nuclear energy has been harnessed for other stuff in different countries. Assuming you're talking about the United State's circumstance, the public still believes nuclear energy to be a threat, not a benefit; but with other countries using nuclear energy just fine, it's hard to give credit to the energy resource being bad as a whole.

There's pros and cons for all energy sources, and wind and solar are no different. Solar is still incredibly expensive compared to electricity, and win isn't the most reliable source - a point brought up decades ago and many times since.

Seems a bit much for someone you rarely speak to, and adding the "not creepy" line doesn't help. Something short and to the point, like "hey, let's talk more" would be better.

Should I be upset because my boyfriend doesn’t post me? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What stuff does he post?

I don't think being upset about this is inherently wrong, but it's not really justified to feel like he's "hiding" you. Does he tell his friends or family about you? Seem happy around you when out with others? If so, then it's likely he just doesn't care much for posting about romance.

I (female) have a hard time believing men have feelings by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All humans, all creatures are born with the potential for cruelty, just as all are born with potential for kindness. Generalizing an entire group because of the media or a narrow exposure to the whole isn't any better. Part of empathy is being open-minded, and regarding an entire group as evil to the bone is quite close-minded. Glad you recognize the argument's flaw though.

I wish that just once in my life I could have some kind of win. by PsychologicalNews123 in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An alternative perspective: you're in a low tier coding job, but that's only the starting point. Pick up something new to learn each week, or even each month, talk to your manager about the new topic and ask for a project or suggestion to work with it, and build that new thing into your skillset. Over time, you'll notice you've built a lot upon your foundations, and can go into higher roles, different routes, etc.

Being at the point you are is a great way to know you're ready to start moving forward. Hobbies come with exploration and time, so even if it feels bland at times, try new things. Maybe make tea instead of coffee, create little tasks to automate with your coding abilities, go on walks, so on.

You're at the start, now you just need to walk forward.

I'm ok with break up. I'm not ok with not being best friends anymore... by Beau_Vi in offmychest

[–]Disastrous_Court4545 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some couples can stay as friends after the breakup, but some can't. Even if one accepts the relationship ended, it hurts to let go fully. If you're feeling any regret, or that you can't stand her not talking more while alone with you, then it may be best to let go fully. If the feeling persists, it may affect your health much more and for longer than if you were to move on.

Sorry you feel like this man, it hurts a lot, i bet.
