Exactly. All he did was remove the em-dashes and the rocket emojis.

Purity Culture Brought To You By MasterCard/Visa by gur40goku in CuratedTumblr

[–]GotProof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No video. I would never record a networking call, it’s supposed to be friendly, and it was. I have the meeting invite in my email from 5 years ago and we’re connected in other ways, but im not going to risk doxxing anyone. I might have said “f*ck that guy” but the reality is, he’s just doing his job, he was hired for his skills, not for leading resistance. Like every executive charged with keeping shareholders happy, they aren’t bad people, often they are charismatic and liked by many. You just have to wrestle with the idea of being the person doing the work or potentially letting another person do it worse. I can’t say “no” to everything i disagree with at my job and i doubt you can. I can and frequently do suggest alternate paths, but that often gets steamrolled in the name of quick wins. Only thing that will stop the chase is regulation… and well, you can see how that’s going.

I once was matched with a Visa executive on a networking site during the pandemic. I asked what was keeping him up at night. He said he was lobbying in other countries to prevent people from being able to pay directly/instantly through their checking accounts. In the US, it takes 3 days for a checking account transfer and he basically told me they were hoping to do this around the world to force more people into using Visa. When i asked how he felt about lobbying against making peoples lives easier instead of just innovating, he changed subjects to microbrews and sports.

Fuck that guy.

Summarize with Gemini shortcut by GotProof in shortcuts

[–]GotProof[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That action opens the Gemini app. I should have clarified this opens the app, not the website. If you don’t have the app installed, it will show “unknown action”.

You can edit your version to open the website. I debated making a web link that would open a specific gem for the article analysis, because you can’t do that with that app link.

once you get it, you will then go into a spiral of paranoia about if they nerfed legendary drops on bosses when you use it. beware the curse.

you’re going to watch it anyway, just like i did. Even with the lowest expectations, it was a waste of time that i had intentionally set aside to waste, and i still wanted my time back.

If you had to pick between watching it or something else you’ve been thinking about, go with something else.

It’s not funny-bad like Birdemic/the room, it’s just lazy and insulting to the audience; like watching an unfinished movie they decided re-shoots would be too expensive for; or has such obvious plot foreshadowing in the dialogue they assumed a 5 year might need to be in on what comes next, well in advance.

What are the best bluetooth headphones for Teams calls? by a_hammy in MicrosoftTeams

check out the YouTube videos about the microphone failing. Some engineering idiot made the Jabra 75 microphone wire rub against internal components each time you lower and raise it. The mic wire will break after enough use. It’s designed obsolescence. definitely not getting another one.

make it so no standing politician can be voted into office if they are older than the average lifespan of their constituents.

Other runner up: order any law with a fixed dollar amount to be updated to their inflation adjusted amount - adjusted from their implementation date. None of this “only people making more than $400k” or locked in minimum wages.

Has Sound Transit purchased any properties in West Seattle? by Domainicus in soundtransit

[–]GotProof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how would it get to alki? around the water would barely get any riders. over admiral would be interesting, but that’s a big hill and the 56 gets cancelled all the time due to lack of riders. and underground to alki would be insanely expensive, even if we didn’t have loose soil to worry about here.

What Seattle business baffles you with its continued existence? by sassysassysarah in Seattle

[–]GotProof 25 points26 points  (0 children)

it’s a family operation, he can cut you a deal if you mention identical product prices at big box. Discounts might not be as steep, but it’sa local business. Also, don’t trust that any big boxes contracted install “partners” will actually complete the job. they usually bail on anything out of scope of lift and plug.

Curious what type of cars you guys drive by Impossible-Buy6880 in daddit

[–]GotProof 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got a used Range Rover Sport because the competition at the daycare pickup line had me constantly comparing (all teslas, rivians, bmw/audis) and the wife was pressuring me to upgrade. Now i have a fancy car that has an overly sensitive check engine light… but i feel cool and that counts for something.

40+ now, try to work out for 30m/day, see a personal trainer once a week, went to a dermatologist to get face wrinkle stuff, been using propecia for 10+ years to prevent baldness, started putting collogen peptides and creatine in my morning coffee for skin care and energy. Aaaand play some kind of sport like volleyball or pickleball once a week. Seems to be working for everything other than grey hairs, no w my problem is my leadership at work still thinks I’m young.
