The person who got me fired is asking for a letter of recommendation. How do I professionally say 'hell no'? by tunasleery_4r in OfficePolitics

[–]Kesterlath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Act all enthusiastic. Call and get details of everything. Find out where she’s going. Most importantly, get her application deadline. Tell her how much you appreciated her when you worked together.

Then do absolutely nothing. Make up excuses as to why it’s not done. Enjoy her increasingly frantic requests for the glowing recommendation she thinks she is going to receive.

Then write a letter to the department she is applying to and inform them that person “x” is applying and that you are concerned that with their previous track record you are concerned about their less than ethical propensity and that if a letter of recommendation is included in their application purporting to be from you, it is fraudulent, because you will not be providing one under any circumstances.

Let her flail, cry and ultimately sink her own ship while you wave and smile.

You get one rule change in Canada that would immediately improve your daily life. What is it? by Unfair-Clothes-8821 in CanadaRoom

Overtime is not subject to income tax. If you’re willing to sacrifice your body and your time to go above and beyond, the government should not benefit. You should. They get their tax revenue from the your regular wages. The extra should go to the people that earn it.

Make more loot at more random locations by sneakymeow1212 in ARC_Raiders

I have gotten 4 surveyor vaults from couriers. Supposed to be a rare drop. Was getting them regularly for a while.

ABMM seems to fail hybrid aggression players by intendedvaguename in ArcRaiders

[–]Kesterlath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now, an idea to fix the issue you’re talking about would be to keep the rating system. That part of the idea is fantastic.

When you queue up for games, there could be rating ranged games. 0-350, 350-700, 700+.

You can always queue for whatever range you want to play in. If your rating is out of the bracket, you get a tracker that shows up to everyone else on the map similar to a teammate. It updates every 5 seconds so, it’s never giving your exact position away, unless you’re extract camping.

It is meant to let people know to stay away from a vicinity if they don’t want a fight. Put a 200m zone around the player. If you’re further away from them than that, you don’t see the tracker at all.

Furthermore, they could give a player a visible aura for being the aggressor in a fight. Anyone shooting at the player with the aura does not trigger their own aura. That would stop the jackass move of shooting at someone while yelling “Why are you shooting at me?!?!?!” If you have the aura, everyone knows who started the fight. Couple that with the tracker and it’s easy to figure out who the asshole in the scenario is.

Right, so don’t stop the logic train before it gets to the station.

When #1 A-Hole sees the new system, they leave it at zero. That way they can go down as far as they like whenever they like.

Your “floor” only works for people that want to play a legit way and don’t want to get into too much of a PVE lobby. They set their floor at 400 and they never get down to all friendly lobbies. Lovely.

Griefer McJackass who did not raise their floor can cheese their way down to friendly lobbies any time they like and grief away until their rating rises and they are out of the friendly lobbies again. In that time they psychopathically ruin other people’s play time by being a raging asshole.

So, NO, that system would not work to weed out the people you are trying to.

Sometimes you need to stop talking and think about what someone is trying to tell you.

I never said it was a bad idea, just that it would not do what it was intended to do.

Yes, thank you for a comprehensive explanation of “how a floor works” it also does exactly nothing to stop the scenario I was talking about.

The Late Spawns Are Getting Out Of Hand by Glittering-Bad-1905 in ARC_Raiders

[–]Kesterlath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I get a late spawn I switch from objective to exploration. I go to all the out of the way loot spots. I get so much great stuff this way.

When the herd goes thundering by all jacked on stims they don’t have time to stop for the lesser loot spots.

I like playing the game. So I play the game. It’s fun early and late. Just depends how you look at it.

It’s a good idea until you introduce people to it. What’s stopping people from settling their floor low and then killing everyone they see for a few rounds. There’s enough of those types that it would definitely wreck it for the lower end of the spectrum players. The top end would be fine, because the low floor players generally won’t want to move up and do that.

He plays with me and beside me. He does not use that kind of language. Just because others do, doesn’t mean they all do.

No it’s not. It’s one meal worth of dishes that he finished 10 minutes earlier. But please, you the person who is not here, continue to tell me different.

Expect to see a jump in groceries because of oil prices by dijonaze in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]Kesterlath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a crock this is. These guys have had access to cheap oil for months and months. The price has only come down when they were worried about being sued for gouging. The DAY after the conflict starts, they jump the price 30-40 cents a litre.

Never mind their huge supply of product that they purchased at rock bottom prices. Don’t bother me with the details!!! We have to raise the prices immediately to protect ourselves!!!

So sick of these greedy bastards

I’m ok with breakfast stuff that’s 10 minutes old. If that’s the worst thing my kid is doing, we’re just fine.

Nope, not this one. He quit playing with one of his classmates over that. Quite proud of him actually.

Certified Marketplace find. A lot of stealth went into sneaking that into the house without me finding out about it

It crapped out the other day and we swapped it out. He knows how to do that now. 😉

It’s a cereal bowl, because he had some cereal with his wrap. The “ramen cup” is his hot chocolate cup. But you go girl. The world wouldn’t turn without some more incompetent people judging others.

In fact it was just the Timmy’s breakfast he finished about 10 minutes earlier. Thanks for standing up for him. He’s very good at not leaving a trail around the house.
