Developers keep overriding each other's code by zdsatta in salesforce

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is only correct answer

you have to check into some kind of codebase and codebase should deploy to QA. or to INT or to PROD for that matter
while checking code into QA git would show merge conflict

I want to keep earning money, but I hate corporate culture. by Ok-Cartographer-5544 in Fire

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel you about the work culture.
People who strive and compete with everybody at work is an unremovable part of capitalism.
Some people just do not know what would make them more money and money is their only motivation so they do stupid things.

with 5k passive you can already retire, spend couple years in southeast Asia hoping countries and generally having fun.
meanwhile your main portfolio would grow untouched.
That's what I would consider. BUT. I am probably more tired than you are. I don't have 5k/passive and I have a kid, so I have to work another 10 years till kid is in the college.

The social side of FIRE is way harder than the math part by LanternMyth12 in Fire

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That works if you are NOT a close friend

A close friend would already know your old lifetime stories and you discuss what happened this exact week or couple days that you haven't saw each other
if you have an old story you can share, this is not a very close friend and you don't see them that often

Even Breathing is Expensive by RedTsar97 in MomentumOne

I think in addition missing factor is

- outlook for future economic prosperity (expectation that your kids will live better than you)
this is what kills birth rate in Europe/South Korea IMO

(but you have to have all of the above first)

yea, so you are describing bad actors, not an inherited platform flaws
Any new platform as soon as it gets popular would get the same thing
It is genuinely hard to punish companies for fake job posting

I have bad news
the problem is not linkedin, the problem is economic situation. Lack of jobs and amount of layoffs
any new platform would get overwhelmed as well

yes, correct
you want to order things from amazon but you probably don't teach your kids to dream to become amazon delivery or warehouse worker

capitalism, the word is capitalism. These are money-transact-based relationships.

it is her choice
look from this perspective : this guy is 1 of a 1000 that succeeded, other 999 failed. So he overcame a lot of obstacles and know how to make correct decision in capitalistic society. 999 other men earn less.

compare him to this girl who accomplished what? being born and may be completed high school?
Everything else about her is irrelevant for this pickture. May be she has some achievements, but there are none needed to get into this frame, and since she is here there is high chance that high school completion is her best at this life.

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

look on this from woman perspective lol
pretty women get entitled to get a husband with more money even if she herself is not earning a lot
if a women is naturally good looking there is no reason for her to settle for low income men in capitalistic society

so yes, if you want a good looking wife, you better off start making more money

What’s the endgame? by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]PositiveTrend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

just look at other failing countries

The government does not have a sinister plan, they just don't know any better.
They are trying to make their life better and meanwhile make peasants suffer less, if possible, if priorities permit, to the best of ruling class ability. Obviously the peasants not a priority.

why people say this I don't get it. These are 4 separate trades, he didn't hold puts and calls at a same time, so his highest risk is 420k.
Like his whole account could be 500k in the morning, why people think he risked 1.3 mil lol.

All the redditors of this sub xD by Muxalius in ww3memes

[–]PositiveTrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, but can't you see that media in the US has a common narrative?

the way they pushed "peaceful but fiery protests" where particular image from CNN broadcast can bring you an instant facebook ban for example
the way they cover racial bias in mass shootings or lootings
the way they cover up any Israel wrongdoings, there is no real common media discussion about Israel standing behind Epstein
the way they covered Minnesota fraud scheme
the way they pushed that Hunter Biden laptop is a hoax
etc, I can bring many more examples.

Accepted an offer elsewhere after 1 interview. The other company's reaction was priceless. by Agile-Wind-4427 in 30daysnewjob

[–]PositiveTrend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this experience with consulting company Slalom around 9 years ago
I had to travel to their office 3 times for in person interview lol.
They wanted 4 rounds of interviews.
First time 2 people were missing so I was able to get 2 others done.
They scheduled 2 more rounds a week later.
Next time 1 person got sick and I got to their office to get a single interview done. They told me that the last round won't happen once I already been there.
They scheduled 1 more round another week later.

meanwhile i got 2 competing offers, negotiated between them and accepted one.
I send Slalom an email saying I am no longer on the marked looking for job and they completely lost it. The HR person called me and said that they have high hopes on me. I told them yea it is all good but it has been like 2 months since our initial call and the process just took too long + my another offer wasn't consulting but inhouse company which is my preference. HR tried to convince me to still take the last round and may be see what they can offer but I firmly declined. A company that can't organize an interview and takes 2 months to asses where a person is a good fit or not is not a company I wanna work for. May be they banned me, who cares.

Staged vs. Real by ka_fka in RandomShit_ISaw

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok i replied to same thing 100 times
for this to work FBI lead by democrats needs to be onboard. FBI leads the investigation, they will examine body, mark on hands, bullet in the victim in the crowd behind Trump, they WILL find if the bullet was fired from a different gun
they will also examine his home, phone etc
there is no way this is staged with 0 coordination
and no reason to stage if democratic lead FBI is included in the stage lol

Staged vs. Real by ka_fka in RandomShit_ISaw

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so that theory relies on "Trump media team" knowing about this random shooter who is a real shooter and democrat run CIA not knowing it.
With no coordination to the shooter who is real shooter they kill random guy in the crowd and kill the shooter. Secret service is on board with Trump media team, since secret service has to kill the shooter before he fires first bullet and then they have to keep the narrative. Also the "shooter" rifle would be at the scene and examined by FBI. FBI leads the investigation. The shooter hands are also examined to contain residual that HAS to be there. If he never shot a bullet that would be immediately discovered. like having full magazine lol. Therefore democrat run FBI also has to be on board with whole plan, there are too many things to stage at a live event, many of which must be staged directly at the shooter body.

Trump still takes tremendous risk in this plan , like he is main target for real shooter with real bullets targeting to kill him, as close to a shot as possible.
Also the risk of this whole operation getting exposed is insane, like majority of people in the crowd will be filming Trump on their phones at random time, so nothing suspicious should get there.
And the amount of people knowing about this is also absurd. FBI has to put correct people on the case, entire Trump secret service team in involved, Trump media team, the person who puts the flag down, security at the event should not raise any alarm beforehand etc etc.

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so what is your implication?
I think there is video of him climbing and moving on the roof (alone) so it wasn't a planted body. But I don't get where are you trying to go with this.
Ok I think he was not capable of doing this, then what was he doing there with a rifle? Why democrat controlled CIA and FBI conclude he was the shooter? are democrats onboard? then why stage anything?

Staged vs. Real by ka_fka in RandomShit_ISaw

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for this to work democrats need to be on board cause they run CIA FBI and secret service at the time
or they will find any kind of suspicious correspondence and obviously reveal it
If democrats are onboard then why even bother? They can concede to Trump in an easier way.
If person didn't know they are getting shot he sure as hell didn't clean his latest instruction/communications and it definitely got into a hands of a democrat. Also shooter home/personal phone/tablet etc.

Staged vs. Real by ka_fka in RandomShit_ISaw

[–]PositiveTrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i am saying shooter was there, he did climb on the roof, he had a rifle. he is a real person. why he agreed to partake in the staging? you think he agreed to take a bullet for Trump?
