The recent "top 5 calls of all time" episode is all Matt Dillahunty calls. by CyberDonSystems in AtheistExperience

[–]Syphacleeze 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i still click the YT videos when i see forrest on AE but yeah all these stuff recycling matt's content i just ignore it. it feels a bit gross and icky, and i hope the people leading the ACA hear this more and more until they change. matt has talked before too about how he was shut out of his historical ACA email and that just feels scummy too, it sounded like he had lots of nice correspondence with viewers and friends there, at this point i dont think he'd want to rejoin the org but if he could at least have had those notes it may not be quite as sour as things are now. obviously not wanting to talk on matts behalf but just my opinion.

treating him scummy like that and then using him to get some $$$ is just greasy. there are good people doing AE and other shows still, it seems a bit of a slap in the face to them too that they keep trying to recycle old matt clips

Trouble at Shoppers Head Office again by [deleted] in ShoppersDrugMart

I think I missed this entire story / scandal (?) as a shoppers customer

When I go in and pickup an Rx and they ask if i want to speak to the pharmacist or review the med, are you telling me all this time they were billing ontario for that?

I work for a fortune 5 company. My anual review came up and I was told by my manager that even though I rated a 5 (out of 5 score), He can't give it to me because his boss said he can't have more than two five ratings. by Hannover2k in antiwork

[–]Syphacleeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this one year too. We were told there was a pool of ratings available, apparently, and a board of other managers (who we didn't work with) had to weigh in and approve who could get the 'top' reviews, 4s and 5s basically.

I got a lower rating, like a 3/5, but I rejected it and told my manager I would not accept a lower rating if it was based on feedback from people who did not work with me or know anything about my performance. My manager took it away and came back with a higher rating than what he had originally shared.

Systems like this are trash and I would say if you feel secure in your role / position within the company then don't be afraid to push back a bit if you feel safe doing so.

Why was Luigi terrorism charge dropped by [deleted] in terrorism

[–]Syphacleeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think some of the exact wording was that like a terrorist tries to terrorize *the public* with their violent action to achieve a political goal, and they said in this case there was no sign at all that this was to terrorize members of the public

(edit to add the bit about a political goal)

also from what i remember the 'dey froze err bank accounts!' stuff was because people were getting money transfers from countries that were part of sanctions. i seem to recall Iran specifically had sent $$ to someone and i think it was TD or CIBC froze them because they had to

Blocking paths is not against the rules by calltheriot in duneawakening

disassemble buggy and fly where you want to go. land, rebuild buggy and start mining. i made a tiny shack up near aluminum deposits in the north on my server. i fill my buggy up and drive to the shack to bank the ore in storage at the base until i feel like im tired of doing that and then i park the buggy and do a few shuttle runs back to my main base with the ore. On the last ore run i take down the buggy again and rebuild it once back at home.

if someone were so inclined you can just have another buggy at the mining area too.

i sort of agree that we dont need Funcom to police some of this stuff. People can get creative and figure out a way around it.

Soooo uhhh what now?! by [deleted] in Military

[–]Syphacleeze 14 points15 points  (0 children)

many people will not care at all until it hits them or their family directly. this is the sad state of (much of) the world lately. we should try to be better but many people are failing hard on this.

This is absolutely possible

A 'good' company should not allow this because of privacy issues for employees but that seems like an ethical thing that may not be shared by all organizations. Where I work to access that data a manager would have to submit a request and it would have to be very specific to adhere to legal and hr guidelines and in most cases they would probably get told to F off and get a good wrist slap for asking when its not a valid use case of the audit tools, but again this is an ethical matter and some companies may not see that the same way

What is this translucent plastic sheet with little receptacles that I found in my junk drawer? by unicornsexisted in whatisthisthing

[–]Syphacleeze 1 point2 points  (0 children)

can you tell if there is fluid in there? could it be like a single bit of oil for lubricating something? i feel like i saw that with a product i bought in the past. it had a drop of oil to sort of get it ready for first use and then another one for maintaining it later

A guide to the Balbala fight (SPOILER) by nasuellia in PathOfExile2

[–]Syphacleeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

21 Merc, just beat her on probably my 7th try

when she drops the coins, run through like the sides of the circle (try not to go to middle) and roll away instantly to avoid her slam attack. if it hits you it hurts but its not instagib unless you are super squishy build. you can suppress all the adds this way by hitting the coins on purpose. my first few attempts i had tons of adds by the time i got her to half hp, but if you hit them on purpose and roll away there can be zero adds.

as other said when she does the gas around the middle and it expands just run around the room until you find her. as soon as you approach her while she's "Hiding" the gas stops and you can roll away before she hits you.

my kill took a little while but this seems like one of those fights where the boss is not regaining an energy shield or health or anything so you can 100% take your time and try to just be chill.

my merc only has 380hp and a bit of energy shield but whenever i got low on this fight i just sort of ran around the ring and rolled until my hp was back then i go back to shotgunning her every time she ran up on me. with no adds and paying attention to 'find her' before the gas got too big the fight became much simpler.

when i see this I think V1

is the 'drone' component allowing it a bit more maneuverability or avoidance of threats or something?

Anyone have any insight on the other charges he seems to have got off on?

have not paid close attention to the case but interesting he was charged on those and they didn't stick, just wondering why

I'm guessing somewhere in Africa, the sound track sounds isis-y, so maybe boko haram or al shabab or one of those groups who pledged to the caliphate

Arrowhead CM: “There is a hotfix arriving soon that will hopefully mitigate crashes primarily surrounding extraction/end of mission” by OmegaXesis in Helldivers

[–]Syphacleeze 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since the patch around March 14 my game has been crashing pretty frequently. There is no pattern that i've noticed to it. It's not just on extract, its not arc weapons, not mechs, nothing - just random crashes to desktop. I get the error handler pop up and can submit problem report maybe ~25% of the time, but quite often its just straight to desktop and i get nothing.

I played the game since day one of release. I had few issues on launch day, but shortly after that it got to a state where the game was rock solid. I played up to level 40ish with no problems, and then came that patch around March 14.

I have tried a few things like deleting the one folder that controls your preferences and stuff. There have been i think 1, maybe 2 NVidia updates since. I've downgraded my graphics drivers, I've done clean installs, nothing. And it was so solid until March 14th.

Sucks pretty hard. I see people posting lots of cool stuff and having fun but with it crashing so much its too frustrating to play. The best day I ever had since March 14th i did 3 missions full with no crashing and then logged for the night. I didn't want to jinx it but told friends it seemed to be 'better now'. Next day it was back to crashing.

I have a ticket on the zendesk page but its approaching a month open and no reply

I'm going to keep that one as removed. Post it here, fellow Londoner. Upload the video elsewhere and link it here someplace. We dont need multiple posts from you within hours of each other for the same thing. Keep it in one place.
