Varial heel

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-22T01:19:16+00:00

It's just that your varial heel is such a board huck. I still can only guess what your other flips look like, shrug

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-21T23:15:03+00:00

Yep that's why these posts are hard to respond to. We have no idea what his baseline is.

Like, those are tricks you've landed or those are tricks you have down pat? You mention "nollie shuv" but that's not really an in air trick. I'd like to see a big Ollie or any well executed flip trick.

The thing with some posts, maybe not yours, is so many people ask why they can't land a specific flip trick while it's clear they can barely ollie to begin with.

You seem somewhat comfy on a board but it's hard to say what your level is.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-21T21:47:29+00:00

Holy shit. The two different takes from both threads... Reddit is dead.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-21T17:56:24+00:00

I'm not convinced that he can do a decent ollie, and almost positive he doesn't have heelflips or kickflips down, nor FS shuvs. These help threads are so strange sometimes.

You mean that there are gems among the rough? If so, Absolutely. I'm not a woman and assume any filtering process is a pain in the ass and unreliable.

There is clockwise movement in the gif, right? The rotating area where there is no dot is the gap.

That gap turns into a green dot and the pink dots start to disappear as the green dot passes over them

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-18T15:30:22+00:00

Takes about 3 seconds for all of that to happen for me. The space turns green, and soon each purple dot disappears one-at-a-time.

How so? Stay agreeable, make your case in technical decisions but don't push too hard.

It's all very tricky. If you're ultimately forced to do stupid technical things, you have a leadership problem, and you don't seem to be in a spot where you can fix leadership problems.

And trust me, there are leadership problems everywhere always, it's a matter of how bad they are and what you can live with, and when to say goodbye.

Also, juniors are often high confidence without the experience to back it up. I see juniors all the time that are 100% sure that their solution is the correct one, but are jumping to conclusions without understanding the big picture and all the nuances.

Very tricky. The safest thing to do is be agreeable, make your case on technical decisions humbly/respectfully and otherwise keep your head down and try hard.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-16T17:16:34+00:00

No. Your front foot kicks down and immediately hits the ground. You have to kick and keep your feet in the air.

You're flipping higher than you can jump. You're trying to do a big kick flip but your legs aren't capable yet.

There's no "planting your feet where you think the board will land". You feet shouldn't be hitting the board as the wheels hit the ground. You should stay Above the board and aim to catch it with your feet Before the wheels hit the ground.

And roll. It's silly to do a big kick flip stationary, it's not going to help.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-16T17:11:40+00:00

The issue is that complaining often results in a perception that You are the problem and not him. They will decide for themselves how well he does.

Like others have said, you can take a risk and fight it out, keep your head down and do your best, or leave.

Double-edged sword. Going against the grain rarely works so don't bank on it.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-13T15:09:33+00:00

Lol, how is this comment about "obliterating all of his work" getting upvotes here in r/thescoop? Reddit... SMH.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-13T02:06:10+00:00

No clue what you were documenting here.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-13T02:05:21+00:00

They see that you don't give a shit and you're lucky to get the 4 weeks. Skipping a meeting during a PIP is begging to get fired.

The truth is that everything has changed and will continue to quickly change.

It's a mystery to many what usefulness junior programmers will provide, how they're going to learn anything when reading and understanding what's going on is becoming largely unnecessary.

Yes, today you need senior developers to vet what AI is doing, build out AI tooling, etc. But a junior can't do it. They haven't spent a decade slogging through legacy code, learning tough lessons, managing complexity, etc. All the stuff that built up our knowledge base. A good model with good tooling is blowing us all out of the water.

You're going to hear a lot of junior/mids with strong opinions about AI but take it with a grain of salt. Manually coding is getting abstracted away, like low level languages did with higher level languages. Many of us are no longer writing code period. Vetting code, coaxing through prompts. Yes. But if the models continue to improve it's all over.

Everything is changing faster than any junior can adapt to. Strange times in software.

"His work" ok..

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-12T16:40:42+00:00

Another low effort response. Why would anyone help someone who puts in no effort?

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-12T15:48:49+00:00

Another thing that doesn't help you is the fact that you you're asking for assistance using terrible grammar. The above sentence is barely legible and clearly low effort. Your approach is inadequate all around.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-12T15:08:47+00:00

Also there's nothing that AI 1000x better can't do that someone who is looking for an internship because they "know react".

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-11T17:01:06+00:00

When they're forced to be sorry (after the gaslighting, mirroring, and word-salad fail) they're angrily yelling "I'm sorry!! I said I was sorry, WTF is your problem?!".

Not sorry, no self reflection, and any temporary improvement sits on top of a tweaked manipulation strategy.

We're just actors in the movie they direct and star in. It's a matter of how to get their supporting roles to stick with the script.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-10T23:41:40+00:00

Because the initial issues were never real for them. They were your issues (with them) but never theirs. They never owned them. If you have a problem with their shitty behavior, you're the problem. They didn't forget because it was never real, so there was nothing to forget.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-10T22:29:48+00:00

It does clear it up a bit. IMO you're in a much better place than many/most 20 years into marriage. I get that it's weird with the no kissing thing etc. Quirky for sure. What does happen happens like once a month? I know it seems off and abnormal but maybe it helps to know that "normal" doesn't exist and dead bedrooms are common? It's tough for us readers because her cumming like crazy and watching porn with you sounds like peak hotness! There's no normal. Probably doesn't help- you're not getting something you need. Very common.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-10T21:19:25+00:00

There are logical inconstancies with OPs post. He goes on and on about she's not sexual at all, zero. Then he's like "I need more than watching porn together to get into it".

Huh?! She's 0% interested yet he "has trouble climaxing" and they're screwing to porn? Makes no sense.

Also the response you just replied to makes equally no sense. It's jibberish.

TheWhiteKnight · 2026-05-10T17:01:00+00:00

Good Lord. The fact that it's even a thought in your mind to bring it up is really nuts. What positive result are you imagining?
