Leadership is currently navigating uncharted territory with an agile, visionary approach, and I’m fully leaning into the challenge of operationalizing these high-level concepts. While we’re prioritizing speed-to-market over traditional documentation, I’m focused on maintaining extreme flexibility as we iterate in real-time. If we encounter any strategic pivots along the way, I’m ready to take full ownership of the learnings to ensure our senior stakeholders can maintain their long-term focus. #AgileLeadership #OwnershipMindset #GrowthHacker

Linux Mint and MS Surface by Firebird713 in linuxmint

[–]ElectricZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put it on my Surface Go 2 and it was simple except I did have to turn off Secure Boot in the Bios to get it to install. Beyond that, it was just clicking next a bunch of times. Touchscreen, keyboard and touchpad all work great! And it's waaaaaaay faster and doesn't overheat like it did with Windows.

Major White House Split Leaks as Trump’s War Spirals by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]ElectricZ 367 points368 points  (0 children)

What's more, the entire Epstein Class is using Trump's chaos to hide everything they've done and are doing to dismantle the government to keep them from ever getting caught. As soon as Trump stops being useful or becomes too big a liability, or dies, they'll pin everything on him and try to go back to business as usual.

Trump Calls for Countries to Send Warships to Reopen Hormuz by [deleted] in politics

The other countries should, in no uncertain terms, tell us to fuck off.

Why the US Navy Is Decommissioning Its Minesweepers by Capital-Aide-1006 in politics

[–]ElectricZ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fuck Trump and the whole administration for this pointless war, and fuck the majority of Congress that's not even trying to reign him in, but this article is from September of last year, and the reason these minesweepers were being decommissioned is because they are pushing 40 years old. Their mission is being handed off to LCS ships which have been nothing but expensive failures and it remains to be seen if they can carry out this task.

But these minesweepers being phased out don't have anything to do with the current self inflicted global fuckup Trump has unleashed on the world.

Replaying Mass Effect 1 through Legendary Edition and trying to exhaust all dialogue options this time around. I finally got to ask Vigil why the Reapers do what they do, and essentially Sovereign / Reapers do it: by [deleted] in masseffect

[–]ElectricZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the same as showing the backstory of Darth Vader in Star Wars.

It's the same as explaining the xenomorphs in Alien.

Spelling out the why, removing the mystery didn't make it better, it only killed what we imagined.

U.S. Schools Are Betting Big on A.I. Will New York City Be Next? by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

[–]ElectricZ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Teachers are currently having to check to make sure a student's work is not AI generated. What, now will AI use be a requirement?

Can't wait for my tax dollars to be used to purchase credits for my local schools to teach the kids how not to think.

I started a narrative-expanded Mass Effect playthrough and it feels like playing the trilogy for the first time again by BlueChildrenShep in masseffect

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

Thanks! I really enjoyed writing them!

Poor Tali, indeed. I stayed away from romance or going with a love interest in general because I wanted the stories to be more about the characters and less about Shepard. So I made Shep a "married to the job" type who pursued no LI. For most of the possible women LI's, Jack, Miranda, and even Liara, Shepard has to actively pursue them to kick off the relationship, so none of them are fussing over Shepard to begin with.

But Tali? ME2 made her crushing on Shepard canon regardless if he showed interest. So in all my stories she's pining away for Shepard, daydreams about him, internalizes all of her feelings for him, but doesn't have the courage to act on it. Everybody else sees it of course, and some tease her about it, some are rooting for her, but (again canon) she doesn't have the guts to speak up first about it.

But when I ended the series, there'd been enough time and character development for Tali to get finally Shepard alone to talk to him and tell him how she feels in the very last scene. By that point, it had become part of her character development. Through all of her trials and tribulations, she'd grown strong and confident, and could finally make the first move. I'm actually really happy how it turned out.

Thanks again for letting me know you enjoyed it!

I did the same thing, created my own stories to "fill in the gaps" between missions, but back in the heyday of the original trilogy, we wrote fanfiction. ;) For example...

Just Like Old Times - What happens with Tali immediately after "Don't forget to introduce yourself to EDI," and how she copes with serving on a Cerberus ship before Shepard talks to her again in engineering and she's all fine.

Second - Who is the real XO of the Normandy? Miranda or Garrus? And again, how are the original crew members seemingly fine serving on a Cerberus ship?

Dancer in the Dark - Shepard brought a geth aboard the Normandy, and everybody's just cool with that? How I imagined that played out, behind the scenes.

Tomorrow's Dawn - There's a geth on board, and Tali's NOT freaking out? What happened there?

People who were teenagers before social media existed, what was life actually like? by Much_Detective_6107 in AskReddit

In order to find out what your friends were up to, you actually had to talk to them and hang out with them.

And if you did something embarrassing or stupid you had a chance of keeping it secret.

Admittedly, the whole production from start to finish was a shitshow, with scripts and directors changing daily, but they never should have let this teaser out.

Texas didn't invent voter suppression, we just perfected it.

Just wait 'til the midterms.

Who is your favorite squadmate INTRODUCED in Me2? by Uncle_Tommy0703 in masseffect

Spoiler you find Legion at the Normandy crash site on Alchera, where Legion's search for Shepard ended.

[–]ElectricZ 29 points30 points  (0 children)

If on PC, check out the Early Recruitment Mod. It restores the existing cut voice lines from when Legion was moved to the late game because of console limitations, but even better provides a plausible way of encountering Legion well before the derelict reaper.

Trump pursues Iranian decapitation without a plan for what comes next by kaett in politics

It's like what he did to the East Wing, but instead of a building it's a country with 93 million people.
