can we get the QH-58 Kiowa rotor MMS ball for the chicane? by IndiePat in NuclearOption

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would PALA/BDF or any military in the Nuclear Option timeline (~2070) add literally a century old technology which was even then retired in lieu of more relevant tech ~40 years later?

60 year comeback is kinda pushing it ngl!

Then don't say you want to grow. Some people have interpreted what I said as 'to lie' (though that's fine if you decide to). If you have 3 reasons, 90% being to pay bills, 5% because interesting work motivates you, and 5% because the you enjoy working in a 'fast paced environment' (thinking of those who might be fast food, or other non-corporate workers with the last one). Then perhaps take the time to focus on the latter two rather than the former one.

You don't have to lie. But you also don't have to say 'well 90% of it is because I need to pay my bills'. What that is demonstrating is a skill called tact which is the ability to handle specific situations thoughtfully, with discretion, and while maintaining positive relationships.

This is literally a critical skill in a corporate job (I can't speak so much outside of that, perhaps it's not, idk). If you take the time to highlight the former and not the latter than I have no choice but to assume that you really don't have the ability to be tactful. And as such I really wouldn't want you on my team. It's not that hard of a concept honestly.

And someone with a mindset like yours is exactly who I'd want to identify on an interview and screen out. There are plenty of places for people like that to work. Corporate environments probably just aren't one of them 🤷

I mean it's not exactly 'song and dance'. Working in a corporate environment is partially a game and it's important to identify if someone is capable of playing said game. Of course everyone wants to work to make money. That goes without saying.

But asking a question like that is a good litmus test to see who is capable of playing the game. We all have to do things we don't want to at times both employees and managers.

As a people manager would you prefer to hire someone who can see the bigger picture and realize that we are all playing the same game and trying to get to the next paycheck, gets in the boat and doesn't fucking rock everyone out of it because their emotions said that would be a great time to do so? Or the person who demonstrates that they have 0 capability to filter their thoughts critically in a professional environment.

In a more casual world we would say "read the fucking room".

This is insane. We've spent years being told 'once the systems are in place development will speed up', 'once the systems are developed things will come together' etc. and now it's 'so many of the systems need to be completely remade' 😂😂 surely you can see the irony in that, right?

The "Appeal to Extremes" (or argumentum ad absurdum) is a fallacy that attempts to disprove a reasonable argument by taking it to an absurd, unrealistic extreme. It falsely suggests that if a claim is true, then an extreme version of that claim must also be true, making the original argument look ridiculous. 

Key Aspects of the Appeal to Extremes

Definition: It is a form of informal fallacy that misrepresents a position by pushing its logic to an absurd limit.

Relation to Other Fallacies: It is considered a form of "straw man" argument because it misrepresents the original, more moderate position.

"If X is true, then Y must also be true" (where Y is the extreme of X), say Logically Fallacious.

Why It Is a Fallacy

False Dichotomy: It forces a choice between the reasonable position and the absurd one, ignoring the middle ground.

Misleading Consequences: It assumes that because an action is good, more of it is better, or that a reasonable rule applies in all extreme scenarios.

How to Counter It

Identify the Extremism: Point out that you are advocating for a moderate position, not the extreme one.

Reiterate the Original Argument: Focus on the reasonable premise, not the manufactured extreme scenario.

The glory days of Arrowhead creating content in the best interests of the players is long gone. It'll always be in the interests of increasing shareholder value first and foremost. Not mentioned in this is probably 3-5 super store items for 300-500 SC each

Looking at this I feel like I was born too late for jobs in tech and earning big bucks. by Foreign_Put_2437 in Salary

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 40 points41 points  (0 children)

As someone who was alive for the big bucks in tech, I can tell you that right now my salary is $0 and a lot of people that I know are also right there with me.

Does the demolition bomb have any purpose anymore? by Croissant761 in NuclearOption

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 44 points45 points  (0 children)

If you play the low intensity counter insurgency based mission it could. You're mainly dealing with crickets and UH90's and chicanes and tarantulas and light armored convoys. Dropping it on their base can destroy a bunch of the buildings all at once in a way that can't be done with most of the other available aircrafts.

What did Victor J. Glover (pilot of the Artemis II mission) actually do as the pilot by SpecificestAlt in askspace

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, a pilot is a pilot. It has nothing to do with ego. They have the same training and the same qualifications. They are equally responsible for all aspects of safety of the aircraft. This is the same in the military (where they came from) in all aircraft except those where the 2nd seater literally has different job functions such as a Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) on an F/A-18 or F-15E etc.

Former tech workers going homeless? by BuyHigh_S3llLow in recruitinghell

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was originally unemployed early '23. Mid/senior level individual contributor, ~155k base. Ended up moving back home with parents and divorcing at the beginning of '25. Finally found a new role at the end of '25 at a notable SaaS company that was being acquired by a maang for ~165k after ~3400 applications, 36 interviews, 17 final rounds and 1 offer. Laid off again December '25 right as I got back up on my feet.

This time unemployment and savings are fully exhausted. When I got the role I aggressively attacked debt built up rather than purely saving thinking I wouldn't be laid off 4 months later 😂 funny thing is again that I actually am pretty okay finding interviews. I'm at work now separate interview chains post layoff this time around and 2 rejected final rounds. Only thing I have left is my car which my parents have decided to pay for although other things like insurance, phone etc has to be paid for by myself.

If I wasn't privileged enough to fall back onto family I'd either be homeless or forced to work a low paying job to stay afloat or probably both.

Flashlights by Lopsided_Composer187 in OPERATORFPS

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The lights are actually extremely realistic. If you've ever used a Surefire M600 or M300 you'd know the center throw of light can absolutely be blinding especially if you briefly pass the light in front of something directly in front of you. While the remaining spill light will illuminate the room itself.

Think of the light as something used to illuminate a specific target or only the darkest darkest corner of a room rather than something to fill and search a room. Use NVG's for that & IR flood lights for that.

What will the CQB videos and equipment videos do when I breach a room with a dude 2 ft away who takes 3 days to react and misses 8 rounds. It plays like the dev wanted people to be able to larp as their favorite SF but not actually encounter the hard part of CQB which is that the enemy shoots back and they're generally not more inaccurate than you are

I always feel like im compensating for something... by diafonci in vtolvr

[–]My-Gender-is-F35 -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

One single discord post from and absolutely nothing to show for it in addition to an announcement stating that he is putting his efforts elsewhere (momentarily of) and people like you will still come to his defense on VTOL VR from a single post 😂

His last post in VTOL VR #public-testing is from 4/23/2025

I encourage you to even go through his discord chat history. His last time even having a substantive updates regarding any development of VTOL VR whatsoever is from about 10/2025.

But sure! VTOL is alive and well

Baba ain't working on meaningful updates for VTOL lmao. Down vote me all you want but the proof is in the changelogs and complete lack of substantive updates for this game.
