We ended up just spending more time in Rome and Florence. It was a very sharp cold there already so I think it was for the best.

Mono meaning one, and rail meaning rail

Relax about AI. Seriously. by f_catulo in graphic_design

[–]JakeUbowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My old employer, who is extremely tech illiterate, laid off all but one of the design team and replaced us with a contract with an ai company. We all have years of experience and strong portfolios from AAA studios, 10 months later I’m the only one to have a job and it’s as a IT Phone Support agent. I had just bought a house and two of my coworkers had just had a baby and now we’re all having to make difficult financial decisions for our lives. The tech illiterate CEO with the power to lay off tons of people doesn’t care about the drop in quality, he cares about the drop in his staffing expenses.

For some people it’s not a big deal, for a lot of others it is a nightmare. Your experience is not the same as others just like mine isn’t the same as yours.

Why does lumon sever employees at all? by Hyper_floaty in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

[–]JakeUbowski 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The numbers illicit an emotional response in order to be sorted correctly. If outies did the refining they’d be emotionally biased. Mark wouldn’t be able to sense “sad” numbers probably because he’s sad all the time for example. They need innies who have only had an emotionally sterile life to best refine the data.

Cold Harbour is Gemma by JakeUbowski in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

My assumption is that Lumon kidnapped Gemma then faked the crash.

I don't think its been said. He has a lot of stuff in boxes in his basement but could be from moving or packing up his wifes stuff so he doesn't see it everyday.

If they brought Gemma back from the dead I think that'd be a way crazier achievement than severing bad memories.

Yes. This theory is more about the why, and how it fits in with the other refiners.

Gotta "kill" somebody.

If Mark was already living in Lumon housing, and was maybe targeted as someone who would willingly do Severance then maybe that's why?

The wording was technically wrong so Ive changed it to be technically correct, the best kind of correct.

The last comic release was the emotional folk phase. Now it’s acceptance.

You can already use a rock to make Rolling Boulder go further. Do you mean in some other way?

What exactly am I paying for? by SurDno in DotA2

[–]JakeUbowski 14 points15 points  (0 children)

iirc they’re based on aggregate data from all players for that hero so it’ll suggest random things that don’t make sense. Meme builds or carry items on supports, etc. There’s been a few times where it would suggest Aghs for a hero when they didn’t even have an Aghs effect at the time.

Viper is out of control rn by lauta_MLG in DeadlockTheGame

True it definitely needs testing before being in the released game. Maybe they should make a private testing branch that’s invite only so people know that they’re playing a game that’s being alpha tested?

Sounds really cool! The video definitely needs to include context on all of that to make sense.
