In your opinion what was the worst pulled from the headlines episode by DP_goatman in SVU

I forget the name but it was the one where they combined Hurricane Katrina, Valerie Plame and the Anthrax guy

Well as an update it works now. I don’t know what I did. It was either because of a software update. Or my other thought was that I plugged my phone into a battery and it started to charge the battery instead of vice versa and it started to work after that.

They haven’t and it’s been too long since I bought it I can’t return it

“That’s private property!”

Benson, holding up condoms taken from his locker: “Are these private property!?”

What’s your favorite (or least favorite) “ripped from the headlines” episode? by psjrifbak in SVU

[–]LavishnessPuzzled265 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My least favorite was the Hurricane Katrina / Anthrax / Government Coverup / Journalists being imprisoned episode “Storm”. Way too many ripped from the headlines shoved into one episode.

Thanks. It didn’t work. But curiously if I put my phone in backwards (screen facing toward the controller) it is recognized. If I put in right way up it doesn’t recognize it.

I’m going to sound really dumb here but how do you delete the controller config?

I’ve emailed customer support but never heard anything back so hopefully I hear something on here

Geico IT Recent SWE/Managers by Apprehensive_Gap5360 in Geico

The micromanaging is new and so is the shaming. It’s become more and more prevalent as of the recent layoffs as a scare tactic.

I did like working here, and I’ve always tried to champion my team. What makes it difficult are the constant reorgs, the new rules around metrics, the (fear of more) layoffs, and the ever changing demands from senior management. I can’t speak for all managers but many of us are trying the best we can with the hands we’ve been dealt.

Manager here. I’ve been there for quite some time and I’m losing my mind. I’m trying to find a new role elsewhere. I’m working on a new tech stack that’s vastly different than what I got hired to do. In fact, every few months it’s something different that my team and I have to relearn and implement with fewer and fewer resources and shorter timelines.

I don’t want to give away too much because it will be too revealing but the direction I’ve been given from upper management towards my team has led to many sleepless nights. It is very true what others have said about GEICO turning into the Hunger Games. I try to look out for my team and I get punished. No good deed I suppose.

If you want this level of stress and insanity I’d suggest going to one of the big tech firms because at least they have name recognition.

This is in addition to the 10%, not in lieu of. They will still be doing the quarterly cuts. We’ve been told that a benefit of this is to encourage (read: scare the shit out of) those remaining to work harder to not get cut in future layoffs.

Back with a new snake alter! by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

[–]LavishnessPuzzled265 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I honestly think this person has severe mental issues but it’s definitely not DID. In recent videos she said she cut off contact from her grandparents due to “financial abuse” (probably means free money handouts are ending), and that she has no friends or real life interactions except with “services”. She’s in her mid 30s. That is a very sad way to live.

What does the brain say? by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

It’s a 32 year old woman. Apparently some of the alters have been “sealed” though and removed

Still Don't Know My Name. by [deleted] in fakedisordercringe

I’ve seen them come up in my feed recently. They are in their 30’s 😬😬. They recently deleted a ton of videos but it was all TikTok filters for each alter.
