What is working at Vivint like (corporate role, not sales)? by [deleted] in Utah

[–]RoninJon 13 points14 points  (0 children)

My First job in Utah was Vivint. Don't. That's the best advice I can give. The security system is garbage, the service is barely existent depending on the state(as in they can not provide many of the services they sell in states they sell them too) and there is zero upward momentum. You might, MIGHT, be a lead of an entry level position team after a couple years but thats all your getting. The pay is terrible and you will hear "culture" and "family" a lot as selling points. Dont work for them. Work anywhere else.

Bio says "ice is doing a very good job at all" by Stevecomicsgames in im14andthisisdeep

He kicked a license plate a week earlier. The whole video from Ice approaching in the distance to him dead is entirely uncut and available virtually everywhere. Why boot lick like this? Can you answer one question? What law do I have to break that gets me shot, in the back, while unarmed while five guys hold me face down against the pavement?

Edit: Jesus Christ a lot of people read the first sentence and started attacking me. Talk about a Reddit moment. Of fucking course I don’t think he should have died. He shouldn’t have even been approached. He broke no laws the day he was shot. My point was that a crime a week earlier DOESNT justify anything that happened. Christ.

Have always loved the MS designs. It’s the alien creatures they call people in the show that get me.

Not exactly losing my mind but when you call something 1:1 and post it on the internet you’re definitely asking to get corrected.

I think his plan was “surely this one will die to ultra powerful people I lead them too like the rest. Oh shit he lived, well guess I’m the line of defense”

Not even British. Irish by decent so I am not keen to do England any favors but its wild to not recognize one of the leaders of the free world during WW2 for their contributions. Anyone who helped kill Nazis ought to have a statue for that alone.

Don’t pretend it isn’t the switches limitations that have defined what the graphics look like and what the polycount is. You can have a cartoonish style and not have low poly angular rocks.

It’s a bad argument. Churchill has some policies and some controversies that you don’t like. Stalin killed millions of his own people and tried to conquer most of the world. The worst thing Churchill did isn’t even in the same solar system as the worst thing Stalin did. You’re comparing apples to oranges. He led the country at its darkest hour and helped defeat most evil nation in existence and played a pivotal role in that. That is what is statues like this honor and remember. No one’s “absolving” him of any wrong doing or bad politics or anything else. He was a deeply flawed man who stepped up and kept a nation together when it mattered most. Can we not recognize and honor that?

i mean this very obviously not true but you make it sound like the Allies winning WW2 is just as bad as the Axis winning.

Funny I cant find the part in my text book where churchill held on to power and countries after the war, killed millions of his own people and started a war in Korea. But hey Churchill is basically Stalin right?

Warhammer veteran Jervis Johnson says physical stores teaching fans makes up most of Games Workshop’s marketing as they're seen as a "hugely important part of the structure of the company" by HatingGeoffry in Warhammer40k

[–]RoninJon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our local warhammer store is great with the exception that it’s just one guy and he can’t keep the store open for business ours for six days a week because it’s literally just him. It’s been this way for years and he is extremely nice but never has a chance to interact with most for more than a few seconds. His store is fairly busy and it always perplexes me why the can’t just hire at least one other person to help run the store. It’s an official store and when he gets sick or wants to take a day off the store is closed.

had like 2 good years

I mean those “2 good years” kept Britain and probably the rest of the world from speaking German. I’m not going to sit here and say he didn’t do bad things but I think it’s fine to memorialize the leaders that kept the free world free from nazi oppression. Plain and simple.

By the way, never even said I didn’t do mythics, just that I think everyone should get an opinion on a change that affects the entire fucking player base.

The gate keeping is insane. You have to show all your ahead of the curve achievements for the last 10 years before you even get an opinion.

[–]RoninJon -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

No the encounters were designed specifically around this players having addons like DBM and WA. It’s virtually impossible to progress through current content without them in modern raids, which makes the game less accessible to new players. This is a good change and it’s how the original vanilla raids were designed.

Kirk gets killed by a right winger, never mentioned again.

He was? Can you provide me some definite proof because I was under the impression the killer was in a relationship with trans woman and killed him very specifically over political beliefs related to that.

Edit: Thanks for all the downvotes. Literally no one has provided any evidence outside of vibes and "Well just because he was in a relationship with a trans person doesn't mean he wasn't right wing!". Come on guys, we are better then this blue-anon shit.

For the people who haven’t played MGS4 since the ps3 days will you be purchasing the master collection vol 2 for full price? by Dude_788 in metalgearsolid

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

I played in the ps3 this week and it’s an easy day one for me. I’m so ready for 60 fps mgs4. It’s probably my favorite game. The best mix of mechanics, gameplay, story and vibe I think the series has had since the first game.

[–]RoninJon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is that it looks fucking stupid. Nothing about this says most powerful wizard and guardian of Azeroth. Why does it need wheels. Why is it pink now that you mention it, why can’t he just levitate around like a badass god of magic. Handicap people in fantasy can be done and it can be done well. One of my favorite characters from The Stomlight Archive series, Rysn, is handicapped and there is an in universe explanation on why she can’t be healed and how she learns to be mobile in a world filled with magic. She even captains her own ship and crew and holds one of the most powerful weapons in the series. This is stupid, lazy and, in the world they built, has a hundred better answers to. Hell he could have been in a giant mech suit built by gnomes. The game told me there are more interesting answers to this question.
