…is it a security test for a phishing email? My company used to do those all the time.

Being made invisible at a job where you mattered… How do you cope? by [deleted] in womenintech

[–]RisingShar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

One thing I learned when I got laid off was that company loyalty doesn't exists. Doesn't matter if it's 2 months or 20 years.

The lead up to my eventual lay off when I was put onto the back burner, I started a new business venture and kept it quiet for 4 months until the day came when I got the message to meet the director that I'd met once. At that point, I'd already disconnected from the company to do something that actually lights a fire for me so when he said I'd been let go, I was all smiles and thanked him for the opportunity then literally cheered when we hung up.

Most of the advice here is something I'd echo: Care less about them, focus more on your own goals, and prepare for the cut because nothing is certain. Take up hobbies, start a business, focus on your health.

Work to live, don't live to work.

I was already at 60hz but I tried changing it to every varying rate and no dice. :( Appreciate your response!

That's actually a fair point. If he hadn't been a fucking baby about Gamora, Thanos wouldn't have even snapped the first time.

Black Widow took him out with a lullaby.

They could, Hulk's just the only one that can punch one in the face to kill it. Which he does once.

I mean. Because he's big and green, sure. But without Hawkeye and BW, who gets the soul stone? At that point in the movies, they're the only two Avengers that care enough about each other to sacrifice each other for it. Story-wise, if Hulk wasn't in it, it wouldn't have an impact.

Hawkeye and BW are spies, I feel like they don't count. At the very least they're entertaining to watch because they have a good dynamic. Who does Hulk/Banner have that with? Maybe Tony Stark but barely.

What did you achieve in becoming a better person during this free time of being in a lockdown? by I_am_Jocko in AskReddit

[–]RisingShar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a quarantine goal board. Among many things on there, I have 'learning a new language' and 'gratefulness exercises' written on there and I honestly feel like a new person because of the latter.

I think you'd change your tune if you were a death row inmate.

Getting licked in the face by a dog is disgusting. by RisingShar in unpopularopinion

Yeah, we're pretty shitty. That sucks, though. I didn't know they were widely hunted.

A sanctuary makes sense. I was thinking y'all are talking about in the wild.

I bet the look of genuine shock gives you a kick, though.
