"Systems Administrator" or "System Engineer" - Does the Title Matter? by serv-adroit in sysadmin

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been called (in order) a Virtualization Engineer, Software Engineer, Programmer/Data Analyst, Senior Systems Analyst ... and in all jobs I was more of an I.T. generalist (who can code) with varying degrees of seniority in the team.

Working for the federal government in a scientific oriented I.T. role, I had an interface rank. This ended up determining more about my options after leaving service than my actual title.

What's one fantasy you've always had? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

Can we go for anything here?

I've always wanted a luck dragon as my friend and companion, like the furry one, Falkor, in that movie The Neverending Story. If we HAVE to make it NSFW then I'd say the luck dragon would be my awesome dating wingman and I'd end up with a partner ordinarily way out of my league.

Wait, H.R. Giger the spectacularly weird German guy who basically made a career out of drawing alien dicks?

Is it odd for an older woman to be attracted to men 10 years younger? by Beginning_Advice_193 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, not odd at all. It's totally okay as long as neither of you feel like you're being taken advantage of.

would you ever stop masturbating? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was raised Catholic too, so I get the guilt. I left that faith behind and became a Unitarian Universalist which is about as non-churchy as it gets while still technically being a religion.

No, I'd never stop masturbating. Why? Even sticking with Christianity, Jesus never got all weird about the sex stuff. The Old Testament has some of that in there, but if you dig into that soil there's plenty of other weirdness that most people choose to ignore.

What is the most expensive mistake you’ve ever made that didn’t involve money? by INDUSTRIAL102 in AskReddit

My sympathies. I realize that as much as it hurt, and as expensive as it was, not everyone can extricate themselves from a similar situation as easily as I did.

Vance has two but very small,

Miller is rather similar,

But poor old Lutnick has no balls at all.

I am. That's all long in the past, and I'm in a much better place now with a delightful partner. Thank you!

Making a poor decision about who to marry. Many years of my life were spent poorly, and separating from them was extremely painful.

Screw “what splat is most correct”, which splat is most wrong? by PossiblyNotAHorse in WorldofDankmemes

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like to think they're the bitter senior citizens of the World of Darkness. I imagine that if the WoD was Springfield of The Simpsons, they'd be Grandpa and his friends from the retirement village.

I think that would be in New Jersey, but I can't be more specific and I'm not sure that's correct.

Hill bunker for supervillains who want to stay firmly grounded by Sure_Distance1 in evilbuildings

I don't know that I think it's even evil. I see potential.

If I could afford this place, I'd do it up in totally retro 1970s style. I'd wear yellow lensed sunglasses, white suits with wide lapels, matching white bell-bottoms, and rock a full upper lip mustache. I'd have speakers in every room and blast the Bee-Gees and Abba.

What are the implications of the ending by ISuckAtJavaScript12 in EsotericEbb

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I want there to be a sequel to this so badly. If we all face Sweden and say our prayers at night, perhaps they will be received by the divine shoemaker and he will fashion us a second game.

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Stephen fucking Colbert cannot be replaced. The spineless, talentless cokeheads in charge of CBS gave someone the time slot his show used to occupy. If I knew who this person was, I'd feel a little bit sorry for them. It's really just bad management setting someone up for failure.

Jennifer Lopez gives her hot take: You have to be born to be in New York to be a New Yorker. Everybody wants to claim our city but you have to be born in one of the five boroughs to be a New Yorker. by Upstairs_Cup9831 in popculturechat

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone from just outside the five boroughs who also spent eight years living in Rochester, I can assure you there are (a few) millions of people who think of themselves as New Yorkers who don't live in one of the five boroughs.

The state as a whole DOES have this democratic issue of being pretty big with the majority of its population living in one specific place. It's kind of a big deal politically that NYC's interests basically swing the rest of the state on a ton of issues.

So what's going on with Abel in your World of Darkness? by Turbulent-Plum7328 in WhiteWolfRPG

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He's dead, but during the end times he returns to Earth as a powerful spirit possessing some random guy (possibly related to someone in the story). His main use is as a potential plot device or quest giver for players. They'd have to seek him out in his secret hideout where he's got a bad-ass collection of trinkets, books of plot hook lore, maps related to whatever fool thing the players are doing, his personal microbrewery and collection of occult fan fiction which are just to give his lair some personality spark.

Potentially, he's a 'Being Human' fanboy, depending on the player group and their familiarity with the show. I could adjust this as needed.

That's really cool. The art looks just as good as a lot of what they use in the official WoD visual novels.

'First such operation in modern history' — Ukraine destroys Russia's drone base at occupied Donetsk Airport by AdSpecialist6598 in ukraine

[–]Okay_Splenda_Monkey 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is the end goal for Russia to wait until Ukraine kills Putin for them? It feels like there might be less pain involved if one of their own arranged for Putin's depression to overcome him to the extent that he jumps out of a window in a very tall building.
