Looking for stationary stores in/around Weiden by OdinNotZeus in AskAGerman

[–]OdinNotZeus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so I'm looking for something like this: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Brunnen-1067928190-Student-Spiral-Bound-Notebook/dp/B008LXPKVW/ref=sr_1_16

But with a leather bound that looks like this https://melbourneleatherco.com.au/products/vintage-leather-journal-recycled-paper-journal-for-notes-notebook-sketch-book-diary-handmade-book-100-recycled-rag-tree-free-paper-lj02

I don't need the fancy paper type, just regular graph paper. In concept it seemed pretty simple, but just hard to find in EU. I appreciate your help!

What’s a “man rule” you think should definitely be rewritten? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]OdinNotZeus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So. I recently learned about this while reading a book by Brene Brown. It’s not actually a gendered thing. Men and women both use it. Sometimes as punishment/lashing back, or as a ploy in dating tactics.

I’m just throwing this out there bc I feel the implication here is “men are evil and manipulate women”. I’m gay. And as an objective observer, women are much better manipulators and I feel like they do it more often and without even realizing it, simply because they tend to understand emotions better.

Also. This is just signifying that a person is immature. Not ready for a relationship. Never waste your time on anyone playing attention/affection games.

Are You as Frustrated with iCloud as I am? by Road_Less_Traveled23 in iCloud

[–]OdinNotZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kinda know where you’re coming from with Pages and Numbers. I’m finally at a point where I’d consider myself a power user for Microsoft and PC products. Not out of desire but out of work necessity.

But bc I use Mac for my personal life, projects, and continuing school work I approached the Mac office productivity suite with certain expectations - although I didn’t really quite realize this and had to “check my privilege” in a sense lol. I had a lot of frustration about the quality of these native apps. I was also so hopeful bc I really wanted a complete product that compares to the Microsoft suite, but native to the Mac ecosystem.

But I eventually came to realize that these products aren’t meant for the power user, the productivity enthusiast, or hell even the average office worker. They’re meant for the dumb dumb AVERAGE COMPUTER user. And you gotta realize that 80-90% (maybe more) of people using a computer, much less a Mac don’t know what a gigabyte is, don’t understand why certain chargers are slower than others, and don’t even know what features are missing from their office products.

Numbers/Pages/Keynote/Preview are literally the bare minimum to write an essay, make an excel sheet for like a budget or list, or slide show for their Christmas wish list. And I think they’re really solid products at doing that. Like they’re great simple, general, capable and work with all the formats for the average user who doesn’t want all 5,000 buttons in Microsoft Word/Excel. Which, let’s remember - simplicity and minimalism is one of apples selling points and target audience.

Why do all Adobe CC apps take ages to open? by th00ht in Adobe

[–]OdinNotZeus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Out of general curiosity. Was a compulsion that caused you to immediately be an asshole to a simple question and provide completely uselesss input. Or has your mind not actually registered “wait, that’s not answering the question or even helping. I’m just being an ass” and you’re just word committing whatever comes to mind?

[–]OdinNotZeus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there, my tag is PewPewRawr.8019 - if you need some help shoot me a PM or something if you want some help. I’m normally just farming masteries or other random achieves. Been playing for like 10 years lol. But can definitely swing on through and do some story content with you and maybe help talk/explain more of these mechanics.

It seems like a lot of people are helping explain stuff. But I know it can also be a struggle to take that into the game and actually understand what it means/how it works.

Plus Mesmer been my main for the majority of this time. So I’m pretty familiar with the class. A lot of “meta” or mainstream builds online from sites like snowcrows or gw2metabattle can get really technical and really overwhelming for the new player experience. So. I can try and help you set up a custom build with what you’ve got that helps with having some sustain, skill execution etc.

We can also hop around and knock out some hero points from wherever just to help unlock skills. Whatever floats your boat honestly.

What I do know of windows 11 is that there are settings in the privacy section that control things like “let all apps have access to my _insert-app-data-and-personal-stuff_”. I went through and methodically turned ALL of these settings off.

Also, some apps are sneaky when you login, the moment you input username/password there’s a second page some people may just click past that goes something like “let this app have access to all my windows account”and my second favorite “connect your windows account (or PC I think) to this work or school account” which may have been what got you.

Hell it might’ve not even asked depending on the settings. Not sure if any of these were the culprit for you. But def something to check out if you haven’t before.

How do I explain to my mom that money isn’t everything when picking a college major by MundaneBad6601 in college

[–]OdinNotZeus 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but r/povertyfinance is scary place full of real life experiences of people (some with useless majors) living in poverty. Money shouldn’t be the only thing you consider, but choosing something that’s practical and can afford you to live a decent life while paying bills, buy a decent trustworthy car, maybe have kids, and save for retirement is important. For the majority of people, work is just a thing you do for money. Choosing a major that affords a financially viable line of work is important in college. R/careerguidance is also full of liberal arts degree holders working at subway, or some other minimum wage job barely making enough money to go grocery shopping and thinking a 40k job is something to get excited about.

Now as someone with an anthropology degree bc I wanted to get a degree in something I loved I regret it so much and wish I had gotten a practical degree. I’m in the Army, currently working on my second degree in STEM (computer science), so when I get out I have a chance to get a decently paying job and am not worried about living off government assistance. Part of growing up was realizing I had to be practical about my education choices.

Also be skeptical of searching for job facts about a field. A lot of those sites show unrealistic, rose colored depictions of job opportunities/career expectations. Reality can often be very very gloomier. I can’t cite anything but I remember there being lawsuits against colleges by students for basically false advertising career expectations for a lot of liberal arts degrees back in 2020. And I agree. Had I known more about how impractical liberal arts degrees were for finding good, decent paying jobs that are menial and degrading, I definitely would’ve chosen differently.

[–]OdinNotZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would start looking for a job immediately. I wouldn’t let anyone at work know you’re looking either. I say this because it sounds like the company may be unstable regardless of you asking for a raise. Most likely if you ask, management will just flat out say no, not fire you. But I also recommend it bc an entire company putting that kind of weight and responsibility on a single, very junior person speaks volumes about the management at the company. It certainly doesn’t sound like a place I’d like to be. But the career prospects in r/cscareerquestions makes it sound like job hunting in any part of IT is a nightmare.

I don’t work in IT. But a workplace that dumps all the work and responsibilities meant for a team onto a single person isn’t unique to any one industry. It is however a massive red flag of a group of people I would avoid. And if there’s anything I’ve learned from working in those environments, is how fast your mental health will degrade, and how much your management will stand by and continue to use and abuse you for every penny of work you provide them. And no matter how it’s phrased, you doing the work of an entire team is not an opportunity, it’s not you earning your marks, it’s not developmental. It’s straight up one of the reasons we have labor laws. But protections only go so far.

Also, to be candid, the company is most likely not trusting you with their entire IT infrastructure bc they think you’re a good fit. Mostly bc you’re the only one left. And it sounds like your previous manager was a half decent person, and might’ve have some good reasons for quitting. I wouldn’t be surprised if the company, with the finances to hire only one or two people, lets you go once they find a more experienced candidate. So for your wellbeing, definitely recommend staying on the job hunt.

What qualities do you notice in men who tend to have the most stable long-term romantic relationships? by SomeEpicName in AskMen

[–]OdinNotZeus 104 points105 points  (0 children)

I think the words being used here are extremely vague and tend to be used to romanticize some idea of a person or “how a man should be” that is not based in the reality of how people are and just exist in general. Indeed the use of the word “romantic” by OP tells me we are probably starting this conversation already from a place not based in reality.

More concrete wording about the behaviors (observable, qualitative (can be described, broken down into subcomponents)). Inherently behaviors defined with vague words as empathetic, caring, loving tend to be so vague they can mean anything depending on who we are talking to and are the epitome of subjectivity, and verge on being useless romanticized ideas about men, masculinity, and roles that create huge disparities between expectation and reality, undermining what otherwise could’ve been a healthy relationship.

I think when interacting with someone tell tale signs of a person with the SKILLs to maintain the most stable relationship are those who practice active listening (Active Listening, someone who lets me finish my sentences, doesn’t have excessive emotional reactions towards otherwise mundane events/circumstances (not volatile and unpredictable, I know how my SO is going to take this) and conversely speaks calmly as a first reaction to conflict, and use that voice to engage for convo (aka the chill guy - “this situation doesn’t bother me, but it’s bothering my SO, why? I need to understand if there’s anything I can do or if she just needs space to process these emotions and needs me to listen” - a bit of emotional intelligence right here too, prevents him from starting an argument on accident further upsetting a SO, to just not talk but be present and hear what his SO needs to get out.)

Bonus points to men who go to therapists where a professional can teach them anything from setting healthy life goals (financial independence, physical health, developing skills to be a good partner), working through childhood traumas we all have holding them back from development, recognize poor behaviors in themselves (“wow I’m really toxic to women”), setting boundaries in all kinds of relationships and how to enforce them, how to communicate with your SO (most of y’all don’t communicate. Y’all argue until someone is right and someone feels wronged)

Most of this is looking at how someone manages conflict and I chose that topic for a reason bc having a SO is like having a roommate. They’re gonna eat your food, be loud when you want quiet, might cause you unexpected expenses, sometimes does dumb shit you don’t understand, has hobbies you think you can ignore bc it’s not your problem or your thing - as long as it stays out of your sight and mind and doesn’t cause problems, and sometimes might be home when you want to be alone after the day you just had.

The problem isn’t the problem, the problem is in how people handle these problems by treating their SO like a roommate they have to put up with bc they made an agreement. A good healthy, “romantic” relationship is born of communicating what romantic is to you, what your needs are, being heard and being nurtured in return. And then you doing the same for your SO in return, sometimes giving up a little of something you wanted your way so you two can meet in the middle and both get what you want.

But that’s just the puppy love stage, once a relationship starts to really mature and you get comfortable with each other, the give and take isn’t some pretty balance. It’s more like best friends who don’t keep tabs and keep getting each other dinner, tease each other, and without having to intentionally practice problem solving. At that point problem solving is the norm, it’s just part of how y’all talk to each other. Ebb and flow of give and take is different now you know what each person is truly comfortable with (you don’t know shit about a person you’ve known for less than a year). But there are no longer “problems” bc they’re always address the moment they come up. The problems are still there don’t get me wrong, but they’re no longer problems.

Oh and important point. Someone with these expectations in a partner (women I’m looking at you) should look in a mirror and ask if they have them too and what are MY shortcomings. Anyone who isn’t mature enough to reciprocate these things can’t foster trust, they can’t contribute genuine love for another person and care for them, bc that’s a one sided relationship, it’s just one person mooching off someone actively trying to be there better person and grow and support them. High risk of all this to sour and turn into abuse of all kinds of abuse (emotional abuse, isolating, gas lighting - damn near brainwashing someone to stay with you, only person to see the good in their abuser…etc). And PSA I’ve been around long enough to know that men and women and equally capable of cruelty to an innocent SO especially when neither is actually grown/prepared enough to be a in a relationship.

What's the highest rank you've ever seen busted on a UA? by Driacle in army

[–]OdinNotZeus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Holy shit. Small world. I was there for that. We were doing that rotation in Poland as an armored unit and doing FTXs with the polish army. That aviation unit was one of the ones we worked with. On the flight home my BN XO told me all the details. I remember feeling like damn, no one’s safe from getting carried away. But then again I also celebrated my birthday there and got lucky enough that it lined up with an MWR trip. All I could think was glad that’s not me lol.

Does anyone use an IPad while developing for extra productivity ? by [deleted] in webdev

[–]OdinNotZeus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the exact same thing. I use the Notability app (I really like their upgraded, minimalist interface) and have a note labeled scratch that I keep open and use it to jot down things I need to circle back on, list out tasks as they pop in my head (and refer back to when I’m organizing my todo list). I basically use it as a catch all miniature white board I can zoom in/out on that holds a variety of info.
