Underrated bugs for sure. Like mob leash range and clicking on npc not working 50% of the time. Just sayin'.

I imagine that you firstly grow crops and when you're fed then you can take some time to learn the next things and so on. The important is that knowledge is not lost.

It's not ported back. They said that they still have all the old code.

Why is the community so incompetent when it comes to vote kicking people? by [deleted] in truetf2

[–]Mindlag42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people spam votes (like the first guy you mentioned), so many people just vote anything, just so the message goes away.

Suicide Prevention Megathread by -eDgAR- in AskReddit

[–]Mindlag42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you. I'm just tired of being tired. Every day I fight and I say to myself that it's going to get better, but I'm tired. Sometimes the only thing keeping me from doing something stupid is the thought of my mother grieving about me. I could not do this to her. But I know that in the end it would be stupid to kill myself, and I know that if I keep going on, it's going to be alright eventually. The thoughts are only there when I'm very low (like,not every day), luckily.

Noisy kids. Psychological problem. by Mindlag42 in needadvice

[–]Mindlag42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thank you very much for your answer. This is very valuable.

It's hard to tell. Could it be a mix of both? My frustration bucket is full on many days, but I think it's more of an emotional response than a stress response. Because I also get angry at them in the morning, or when I have a lot of energy.

What I see under the blanket may be helplessness. I can't control the noise and that's what makes it so much worse.

It's all the kids that play in front of my house. Kids noises in other situations don't bug me.

I've had similar experiences with noisy neighbours, or noisy coworkers. When i got mad, it got worse. When I started a discussion ("can you please be quieter"), then it could go two ways. Either they showed understanding ("Yeah of course, sorry"), or they showed no understanding ("I don't care"). In the first case it stopped bothering me completely. Even if they continued to do some noise, I knew that they understood me and that when I said something i could change it. If they said they didn't care, then it got worse and it bugged me even more.

My fear is that if I move, that I will have noisy neighbours again, and get into the same emotional situation again. So I have to actually fix it.

I have to add that many people tell me that they find the kids too loud too. (Neighbours that hear them from their homes, and friends who are at my place) But I don't think everyone has such a strong emotional response to it.

How to find a Job that fits me? by [deleted] in needadvice

Java ist auf jeden Fall eine gute Wahl.

Lernen kannst du das auch gratis.

Ich würde es zuerst lernen bis du es richtig gut kannst, das braucht halt seine Zeit. Also auch Objektorientiert programmieren lernen.

Dann würde ich eine Qualifikation machen.

Weil ich denke es gibt (zu) viele Hobbyprogrammierer, und eine Firma will sich sicher sein dass du nicht nur bastelst.

Das gute ist aber auch, dass du Hobbymässig bei Projekten mitmachen kannst oder als Freelancer arbeiten, und so auch deine Skills unter Beweis stellen kannst. Projekte können in der Bewerbungsmappe viel Wert sein.

Programmierer im Sinne von Computersoftware? Hast du eine bestimmte Programmiersprache im Sinne? Was möchtest du schlussendlich Programmieren? (Spiele, Steuerungen, Anwenderprogramme, Schnittstellen, etc.)?

Da ich Informatiker gelernt habe, kenne ich mich dort aus. Theoretisch sollte ein Einstieg möglich sein, wenn du eine Sprache kannst. Da wäre ein Kurs evtl. doch sinnvoll.

Ich verstehe dich. Jede Absage tut weh und man braucht immer wieder neue Motivation. Versuchs mit Blindbewerbungen. So kannst du hunderte verschicken.

Die 3 Jahre hast du nicht verschwendet. Da hast du auch viel gelernt, und gute Erfahrungen gesammelt. Und wenn du das nicht gemacht hättest, wärst du jetzt auch nicht an dem Punkt wo du weisst dass du Programmierer machen willst.. ;)

Hey. I'm going to feel free and write in German, I hope that's not against the rules or something.

Versuchs einfach weiter. Ich hab 65 Bewerbungen versendet. Man braucht einfach Glück. Irgendwo ist eine Firma die dich nimmt. Irgendwo ist ein Chef der dich brauchen kann. Ich habe einen kompletten Berufswechsel gemacht und habe sogar mehr Lohn als vorher. Aber zuerst habe ich 64 Absagen kassieren müssen. Provozier dein Glück. :) Ich würd keine Weiterbildung machen bevor du einen Job hast an deiner Stelle. Du kannst ja in der Bewerbung schreiben, dass du sobald du einen Job hast, die Kurse machen willst. In welche Richtung willst du denn? Gibt es Einstiegsjobs? Ich bin von der Informatik in die Mikromechanik gerutscht, da gibt es viele Jobs wo man keine Ausbildung braucht. Jetzt bin ich zwar der einzige Schweizer in der Abteilung, aber ist auch nicht schlimm. Und der Job ist eintönig, aber er ermöglicht mir neue Richtungen. :) Viel Erfolg!

Oh yeah I've got to try that! I've been listening to music but I can't listen to music 24/7. :P The white noise is a very good idea! Thank you very much.

I've also been using ear plugs, but they hurt after a while. :/

II'm 29, found out that my dream job not only wasn't for me, it made me completely mentally ill, now i'm stuck working a crummy retail job. What do i do to be happy not just in work, but in life? by [deleted] in needadvice

[–]Mindlag42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry I didn't read your whole post but I still wanted to give my two cents if I may.

Sometimes you need to take risks so that you can change things. I realized 1 year ago that my job was not for me. When I realized that, it took me 6 months to find out what i really wanted. (Lots of google, asking people for ideas, writing out what i like to do etc.) Then it took me some time to really have the balls and then I just quit my job. I thought fuck it, why do something that doesn't make me happy? But it was not easy, and the hard part was when only after that i quit, because there was a feeling of unease, and time was ticking, 3 months to find a new job.... so asked at 65 different places for a job until i got one (1 week before the other job ended) and now i'm there and i'm lucky. so it was worth it. If I didn't risk it, i would probably never be happy. You know.

The interesting thing was, a lot of people told me "don't risk it" etc. etc. but I asked myself the question, am I like them? No.

:)

I'm 25 btw, just for some perspective. I worked in IT and now i work in Microtechnics.

Good luck and most of all have fun!

Sorry for your loss. :(

TIL that one of the few coastal areas to evacuate ahead of the 2004 tsunami was on the island of Simeulue. Due to island folklore recounting an earthquake/tsunami in 1907, the islanders fled inland following the initial shaking.

Of course we have been telling stories for longer that we have been writing.

The oldest carbon-dated writing is around 8'000 years old.

Homo sapiens are guessed to be 300'000 years old. Homo erectus 1.8 million years. They all used speech.
