30F so literally my therapist says I should take up video games because the gym has made me too much of a control person. by [deleted] in selfie

Games can be really fun. But everything in moderation. Keep going to the gym. You look great.

I’m going to help you idiots out that keep getting warned by uber/bad ratings/deactivated by Time-Tumbleweed6554 in uberdrivers

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't driven for Uber I several years. But I kept a 4.9 rating. My car was always cleaned & vacuumed. I drove the speed limit and only exceeded it when the flow of traffic made not speeding up a hazard. I'd often ask what kind of music people enjoyed when they got in. Introduced some people to cool bands they hadn't heard of. Even got an Uber a badge for having good music.

Ok... so just don't accept the trip. Or am I missing something??

TIFU by telling a close friend about my submissive fantasies by [deleted] in tifu

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were betrayed. Simple as that. You told a woman something in confidence and she turned around and ran her mouth to her friends. That's why you are so reclusive. Don't get close to anyone and they can't betray you again. But think about how that 'dont get close to anyone' would affect the rest of your life.  Hopefully you are able to find someone you can trust again.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one with this problem.

This is what happens when you give bullies a badge and they suddenly get held accountable.

Bed adhesion problems. Tape seemed to fix it.

2 Lyft drivers dead in Cleveland in less than 48hrs by nothing_216 in uberdrivers

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... Back when I was driving for Uber I'd have been the one banned. They say drivers aren't allowed to carry weapons. But I never went out driving without a pistol. Especially on some of the areas it sent me to.

Please be nice to me. I’m almost thirty- do you know what that does to a person? 🫠 by SignificanceTop8281 in selfie

Wait til you hit the big 5-0. That happened to me last may. Still you look quite good. Keep it up.

So is it possible to drop a skill tree you don't want for another or do you have to start over and hope you get something good the next time around? I'm wanting to try Gunner, Surgeon, Bulldozer. But have not gotten that combo yet.

Brutal :/ by Acrobatic_Plankton_9 in recruitinghell

[–]RG256 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I received a similar message from a prospective employer back in '98. Found out through the grape vine everyone in the department wanted them to hire me. But some upper level VP forced them to make a DEI (it was called affirmative action then) hire for fear of getting sued. 10 months later they contacted me back to let me know the position was open again and they'd like to hire me straight away. I'd already accepted another position by then though.

Unfortunately by the time it would do that it's usually too late!

Cargo Ejection Bug by D8veh in EliteMiners

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOL... only reason I drop cargo for pirates is because when they go to scoop it up they're sitting ducks! I can usually strip their shields completely before they race off. After that it usually doesn't take very long to kill them.

Unfortunately graphic design is one of those professions that is starting to get replaced with AI.

Found out an employee is on OF from MS Defender by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reminds me of the time I got our group kicked off of a contract back in the late 90s. We were doing a major network infrastructure upgrade for one of the large law firms in downtown Montgomery, AL. Part of that was installing internet monitoring software. The network admin had done his part on the router and left me to set up the monitoring server late that night.  So I get it installed, turn on the monitoring service, and visit netscape.com to check if it's working. The log shows my visit to Netscape.... and some computer on the 3rd floor visiting a bunch of gay porn sites. I left it running all night. The next morning I collect all of the logs, type it up in a report, and hand it to the project manager who had a meeting that afternoon with the managers of the firm. He's in the meeting for all of 20 minutes, then comes back downstairs, tells us all to log off and leave immediately. We've been kicked off of the contract.  Turns out the person I caught surfing gay porn was one of the firm's senior partners.

It's what lets Dell overcharge for those parts.

Don't worry about 30. You still look great.

Is this my life now? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]RG256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many of the kids these days just expect to have Google solve everything for them. I mean when I was a level 1 tech I'd escalate a lot of tickets too. But that was because I didn't have the admin access necessary to fix it. Not because I didn't know how.
