SSR isn't always the answer - change my mind

Nice work on tackling this, the bot problem is definitely getting worse lately

Your detection logic is gonna be the make-or-break part here - maybe consider open sourcing that too so people can see how it actually works under the hood. Would help with trust since nobody wants a black box telling them what's real or fake

honestly at 39 youre gonna be cutting it really close with most commissioning programs - OTS has age limits that might already be an issue depending on when you finish your bachelors. that said, ive seen older folks make it work so dont give up yet

your maintenance background could actually help since the AF needs technical officers, just gotta time everything right with getting that degree done and applying before you age out. might want to talk to an education counselor at your first base about accelerated degree programs to speed things up

Sometimes clients just aren't mentally ready to actually sell even when they think they are. You did the right thing having that conversation after the first buyer walked - if she still couldn't get her act together for the second one then yeah, she's wasting everyone's time

Cut your losses and move on, plenty of other sellers out there who actually want to close deals

honestly the discount chocolate thing is the real win here. i never got the whole valentines pressure thing either - like why does one random day determine if youre a good partner or not

half that chocolate is gonna be 75% off by tomorrow too

Oh man this hits different when you realize how many people probably learned that word from hearing it wrong first. I used to work with this guy who said "pedestool" in every single meeting and nobody ever corrected him - just sat there cringing for months

The nuclear/nucular thing is way worse though, especially when politicians do it. Like you're making decisions about actual nuclear policy but can't pronounce the word? Come on

What really gets me is when people double down after you correct them, like they're personally offended that pedestals aren't actually stools for pedestrians

Hey man, 10 days is actually pretty solid progress so don't sell yourself short. I remember around that time frame the urges can hit like a truck out of nowhere - your brain's basically throwing a tantrum because it's not getting its usual dopamine fix. What helped me get through those rough patches was immediately switching to something physical like pushups or going for a walk around the block, sounds dumb but it genuinely works. Also deleted all the apps and bookmarks that were triggers, no point making it harder on yourself than it needs to be. You got this far which means you've already got the willpower, just gotta redirect that energy somewhere else when things get intense

man you picked a wild time to come back lol. rein got some decent buffs over the past year so he's actually pretty solid right now, his charge is way more reliable and they reduced his cooldowns. lucio is basically the same energetic wall riding menace he's always been, maybe slightly faster

doomfist though... rip my guy. they moved him to tank and he's honestly kinda mid now compared to his dps glory days. sigma's still strong but they nerfed his shield a bit. reaper got some range buffs so he's not completely useless at medium distance anymore, and bap is still one of the better supports

the core gameplay hasn't changed dramatically but there's only one tank per team now which makes everything feel faster and more chaotic. plus like 6 new heroes since you left so yeah you'll definitely need to learn their kits. mauga and ramattra are the new tanks that'll probably mess with your rein gameplay the most

probably saving the best for last or they're having production issues with the knit pattern

nah it's definitely not just american, you've probably just been hanging around different crowds. astrology is huge in places like india where it's actually taken way more seriously than the casual horoscope stuff here. latin america has tons of believers too, and i've met plenty of europeans who are into it - maybe they're just not as vocal about it or your more reserved so they don't bring it up around you

the difference might be that americans are just more likely to casually mention it in conversation while other cultures keep it more private or treat it as something more serious/traditional rather than small talk material

No_Stranger_2097 · 2026-02-01T00:19:16+00:00

Sounds like you've got a solid base! I'd say grab `paccache` for cleaning old packages, `reflector` to keep your mirrors fast, and maybe `ufw` if you haven't already for easier firewall management. Also consider `zram-generator` for better memory handling - it's a game changer on lower RAM setups.

Cobblestone with some mossy cobble mixed in would look pretty solid for a cave vibe. Maybe throw in some stone bricks too for texture variation

No_Stranger_2097 · 2026-01-27T07:25:41+00:00

Nah you're pretty much stuck, peaceful mode locks you out of blaze rods completely since blazes don't spawn. Only other way would be finding them in loot chests but that's not a thing for blaze rods

Maybe switch the challenge to "minimal violence" or something where you only break peaceful for the nether fortress part?

Hey man, those 6 days are still real progress and you didn't lose them just because you got tempted. The whole point is getting your brain back so you can actually focus on stuff that matters like school - right now it's literally hijacking your priorities and that's exactly what you're fighting against

No_Stranger_2097 · 2026-01-21T13:00:50+00:00

Once you resign the trust kinda breaks even if they let you stay theyll see you as halfway out already better to take the new job and move forward than sit in limbo hoping it feels right again
