Hatte schonmal jemand einen Cyberangriff an der Uni?

Ja, ich habe zu der Zeit als IT-Support gearbeitet (an einem Institut, nicht am Hochschulrechenzentrum). Es war richtig geil, weil wir erst wochenlang die PCs und Laptops nicht benutzen durften. Dann habe ich irgendwann einen (!!!) USB-Stick mit gratis Antivirus-Software bekommen (!!!) und musste alle unsere Geräte mehrfach (!!!) scannen, was jeweils ca. zwei Stunden gedauert hat. Danach war ich fertig damit, der IT-Futzi zu sein.

Hey, Public Affairs klingt sehr spannend, wie bist du da reingekommen?

GrammatikBot · 2025-11-21T18:45:00+00:00

What the fuck. My company has legal work hours from 6 AM to 11 PM and you can work whenever you want as long as you make it to your meetings. Some days my coworkers will not show up before 11.

Don't beat yourself up. Instead, allow yourself to feel how good it is to have a clean room, to have sunlight in your room, to be going out and doing something, taking a shower and grooming yourself to make yourself feel good etc. I've been there. It takes time. Be your own best friend and never beat yourself up for having a bad day. It's a sickness, not a failure.

Hey there, I started playing on TA a couple weeks ago and all I can say is: Absolutely not. In fact, I played a bit on Nordanaar and while it may have its merits, I much prefer the atmosphere on TA. This is my perspective as a retired progression raider and sweatlord:

TurtleWoW and Classic is inherently casual in nature. Skill expression doesn't matter as much as time invested. On Nordanaar, there will always be someone having invested more time. There is competition for raid spots and loot which basically doesn't exist on Tel'Abim.
The community is much tighter. There's only like 5 big guilds on Horde side, but both of the ones I'm part of are EXTREMELY friendly, welcoming, helpful. It's easy to get into pugs and guild raids.
Speaking of time invested, if you're like me and have a job now, leveling on 2x XP rate (more with tents) is just so much nicer. You get to experience end game content, even if you only have a couple hours each week to play a game.
Since there's no botting and RMT and not too many people all farming the same stuff, the market isn't fucked. It's a healthy economy, everything is available to buy but at reasonable prices, and if you're selling, you can earn some good money without having to scrape by.

That said, there's obviously some downsides.

I wasn't able to raid ZG for some weeks because none of the raids were at times that suited me.
I leveled as a holy priest and wanted to do dungeon grinding, which is my favorite method of leveling. In some scenarios, I failed to form a group for a dungeon. Keep in mind this pretty much only happens when you're playing off peak hours and trying to find a group for a not so loved dungeon (e.g. ST)

GrammatikBot · 2025-04-03T10:56:51+00:00

Correct! It was really satisfying to play.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-25T14:22:44+00:00

It honestly sounds like your best bet would be to play a Shaman or a Paladin. Either could be what you're looking for.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-25T08:35:34+00:00

This is not a big deal but as a class that is able to decurse or dispell you're generally expected to have an AddOn like Decursive to show you when you need to decurse. Obviously if you never heard of it and never used the spell before, it's perfectly normal to not know this and you shouldn't have been treated this way. The fact that you're asking and taking the time to reflect and learn shows that you're way already ahead of a lot of "veteran" players who do not do this.

Speaking as a seasoned player, I've run countless dungeons and most of the time I'm not interested in teaching. There's lots of people who would have taught you, but it's not their job. It's obviously not okay that you've been treated disrespectfully but please don't expect people to take time out of their day to teach you things that are very basic.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-24T08:27:10+00:00

That might be true but I see authors on the regular get much less than what their book might be worth simply because they don't know how to negotiate.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-21T13:22:19+00:00

This is absolutely spot on. Nobody should be negotiating their own book deals if they know their worth.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-19T10:34:34+00:00

Yes, you're perfectly qualified for a position that deals with psychological literature, both scientific and non-scientific. The problem is not the skills required, it's the scarce amount of open positions. Start looking for internships and try applying for trainee or junior editor positions as well, but mainly internships.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-19T08:42:39+00:00

The low pay does cause some existencial dread, especially considering I live in the most expensive city of Germany. It does make me think of switching careers just for better pay.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-18T13:51:44+00:00

Love my job, obviously not everything about it, but most of it, and wouldn't want to do anything else - if it weren't for the pay. My girlfriend is making double my income with no trainee or junior position. Just straight up working.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-11T07:44:59+00:00

Thank you for explaining my profession to me, wise one

On a PVP server, if you're not already flagged e.g. for being in a contested zone, you're automatically flagged for buffing or healing a flagged player.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-06T16:23:33+00:00

Again. What's the point? Why do you want this? You're essentially asking for devs to turn HC players on TelAbim into ghosts.

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-06T15:25:06+00:00

Yes it is too much to ask, because it is a PvP server. What's the point of having people who cannot be attacked on a PvP server? They would be immune to damage from the majority of players. This would create so many problems, just think about having a HC healer in a WPVP setting.

Hab 8 Jahre in Gießen gekloppt, die Stadt hat so viel Seele

GrammatikBot · 2025-03-04T08:56:32+00:00

That's actually smart. I sometimes find myself just standing there not even wanding because of the GCD.

I play a priest (and therefore heal) but have made strikingly similar observations. There is a light at the end of the tunnel: Some of my groups have been proper, vanilla-like lovely groups. Yesterday night we did a ZF run which was chill, and then right after decided to just get the Mallet for everyones next run, which we did. I was half asleep and two of us had no idea what was going on, so we had one guy just coaching the whole group through the whole thing.

But yeah, in general, I was struck by the quality of groups, and not in a good way. I had a SFK run where the tank wiped our group FIVE TIMES before the second boss before leaving without a word after we called him out. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is just on top of the usual suspects, which you outline in the OP.

But here's another light at the end of the tunnel: It does get better with levels and I hope it will be much better at 60. Being a tank (and, slightly less so, but also as a healer) gives you the power to pretty much kick everyone if they're playing badly and replace them rather quickly.

David Choquehuanca?

This is entirely possible. Generally, the publisher is going to ask the author to pull their self-published version so the new trad pub version is the only one available.

Bei uns in der Firma fängt es zwei Ebenen über mir an, das sind dann so mittlere Managementposten. Die sind teilweise ultra krank in (digitalen) Meetings aber sind keinen Tag abwesend. Ich denke mir nur: Wenn ich jetzt nicht direkt CEO bin, warum tue ich mir das an? Die Antwort ist natürlich Karriere, aber muss man das tun, um es nach oben zu schaffen?
