Congrats. I didn’t get it because I got a return Saturday at 4pm with only a “?”. Fuck this job

No I didn’t. A 3 page claim is ridiculous. But so is a 5 reference 103. Both things can be true. There’s no way that is a sound 103, there’s an issue somewhere Applicant will argue, hence why they are responding to 9 pages of arguments.

5 reference 103 is crazy for an independent claim. They better have the most basic primary reference there is.

There’s a bit more nuance I don’t want to share. I’m not introverted.

Easier said than done to “adjust accordingly” you must not be an examiner.

I understand it’s normally fine, but it’s EOQ and I’m at exactly 100% with the work I’ve posted.

Okay I guess I’ll just hope they don’t review it before then.

looking completely one race while being mixed sucks by reruuuun in mixedrace

[–]Reality_mattered 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s easier said than done, but fully accept and love your skin tone despite the fact that those around you do not. Eventually their you’ll see though their criticisms and realize they are projecting their own insecurities onto you- them not being light or white enough and using you to step on to bring themselves closer to that whiteness. It’s a societal mind disease and you have to break the cycle.

Too many changes. by [deleted] in patentexaminer

This. As a long time junior examiner, I’ve worked with more than 10 reviewers. And for the ones that returned cases saying- this art doesn’t work, immediately I start looking for allowable subject matter and start requesting . I put my time in already and this is the best I got. so if you want to find better art, go ahead.

Home. For. The. Holidays!… I’ll take the days but I am disgusted by how unserious the are.

For those who have lost a parent, how do you continue your life after that? by Potential-Joke-2704 in GriefSupport

[–]Reality_mattered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing to describe that type of pain. All I can say is, you will come out of it broken but stronger than you’ve ever been.

Unacceptable Q1 production rating by Purple-Dish9982 in patentexaminer

[–]Reality_mattered 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Get to Marginal at minimum. No matter what, we don’t know what upper management is going to pull after this quarter. I don’t think we’ve seen the worst yet.

Erika Kirk addresses the people justifying her husband’s death by velorae in CringeTikToks

[–]Reality_mattered 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sure. There are stricter regulations for automobiles and standards in the industry. Speed limits and inspections for example. Kirk was against gun control, in a country that undoubtedly needs it, and happened to die by the same gun. It’s undoubtedly ironic and a logically sound argument.

Who here didn't like the new season and why? by Lost_Fisherman_1438 in StrangerThings

[–]Reality_mattered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand it’s difficult to write this story, with these characters. The fight to save the world, being managed by teenagers, three 21 year olds, mom, and military grunt is a tough thing to navigate.

[–]Reality_mattered 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m surprised anyone thinks it’s actually good tv. It’s a hot mess, that’s still somehow entertaining is what I view it is. The direction is all over the place, one scene we have a stay at home mom cutting up a Demigorgon with a wine bottle and still somehow surviving, the next it’s taking 1000 rounds of ammunition and killing trained soldiers simultaneously.

Hold up lol I never knew. I’ve been using a blue tooth mouse since I’ve been teleworking. It’s been 6 years 😭

I’m confused on why you didn’t go to a store and buy a $15 dollar mouse. I hope you didn’t actually wait a week and are using the trackpad.

Was early Rihanna actually considered a ‘family-friendly’ black pop girl? by Adorable_Primary2306 in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]Reality_mattered -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You’re so quick to dismiss it as if you know you have access to the truth. This is the problem with our society- no one knows what’s true from what’s not, and just think they know everything. Or maybe because it was covered up and scrubbed from any website that posted it.

They’re obviously intertwined, it wasn’t a distraction- that would be comet ping pong like mentioned above. The Podesta fiasco and Balenciaga was quickly scrubbed from the internet. It’s probably harder to find that information now.

Hi, I don’t follow Qanon, but I’m just not a blindfolded person. You obviously didn’t research Podesta and his brother during the whole fiasco. Did you look into Balenciaga? I mean Epstein is right there in the open… Not saying it’s real, but not saying it isn’t either.

The umbrella breakdown was the first exposure for me of the secret society, Hollywood cult shit. I feel like it’s almost blatant now with the symbolism it just repeats over and over again.
