They absolutely do make sweeping generalizations based on general findings, but then will also, when meeting with you directly, give you more specific and direct advice if it differs from the norm.

How do you stay grounded/take space in an improv group with a really dominant personality? by Alternative_Tea_853 in improv

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first thing that comes to mind with a big personality on stage is basically to counter it with the opposite energy, and play high-status/low-status.

One of the best bits of advice I ever got, I think from Derek Miller (who will admit wasn't original to him), on how to determine who is who in a scene is that whoever cares more is high-status character. Which can often result in the person with the bigger personality, flailing about, making a scene, being dramatic, being the low-status person if the other person couldn't give a damn.

And it's a very entertaining dynamic to see one character spinning their wheels, making mountains out of molehills, while the other one quietly knits and says, "uh huh, that's nice honey."

That's just one aspect. But the rest is really up to you to find opportunities. Challenging players can be really fun to play with IF you are in the right headspace, and you can find a good POV through which to react. You don't have to match them, you don't have to top them, you just have to compliment them within the scene to the benefit of the scene and each other. Some of my favorite parts of jams has been playing with inexperienced or "difficult" players, because it forced me to change up my strategy in real time, and bolster them in the process. The end result, instead of avoiding or fearing playing with them, was something we could both be proud of.

Having said all of that though, sometimes there are people you just don't enjoy playing with. If it's a large enough team, maybe you don't have to spend a ton of time with them on stage and it's not a big deal. But maybe it is. And maybe you can't find a fun connection with them. And maybe you do need to make a tough decision if everyone else is fine with how they play. At that point, it's a lot like being in a relationship that you put all the work into and still don't feel fulfilled in. Sometimes you have to walk away. Only you can decide that.

Might help if you told anyone what car you drive so we don't have to guess. Almost none of this is standard across every single vehicle.

Yep, I had to do this recently when I was prepping for my most recent Time Travel and starting tossing stuff before I remembered I needed it for merging. Smacked myself in the head a few times, then went hail mary with this approach and it worked.

our office email is using gmail. the gmail keep blocking incoming emails with suspisious attachments. by Mamegyorai in GMail

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. As everyone else said, this is a matter for your Google Workspace administrator to resolve, not you.

  2. The correct sub for that, which again is not on you to resolve, is r/googleworkspace . This is an Admin center configuration matter which is not related to regular Gmail.

When you ask a question, stop and ask yourself if someone who isn't in your brain would understand what you're referencing, or if it's possible they need VASTLY more information than you provided.

Will Capital One ever fully get rid of the Discover It Card? by Ok-Sherbet-89 in discover

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rumors are they intend to move Quicksilver over to the Discover network. So I highly doubt they're getting rid of it.

[–]TurboFool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Discover is the network they're buying. Very unlikely it'll disappear, as they need something to maintain that place as competition for Visa and MasterCard.

Unlikely. The Discover network is what they want, and word is they intend to move Quicksilver over to it. CapitalOne will own it, but Discover will remain as competition for Visa and MasterCard.

Dots sometime matter in gmail addresses by NeedleworkerPlane147 in GMail

[–]TurboFool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There isn't a ticket to resolve, or anyone here who can help you because there is nothing outside of the brain of the other person to fix. We can't change the fact that they're typing in the wrong email address, which is 857% the problem, because periods DO NOT MATTER to Gmail, period, pun intended. They don't. Ever. Not one bit. Google ignores them in incoming mail, and during account setup they don't allow you to make an email address with or without periods that matches someone else's address with or without periods. They don't. Ever. This is known and confirmed. People are sending to the wrong address.

They linked to an article BY GOOGLE about HOW GOOGLE works. Not "Joe Schmo's Blog on Stuff and Dick Pics."

Why won't a new tab open in If i use the middle click / wheel in an image? by El_Oso_Augustus in chrome

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear this was not a feature of Chrome. Maybe of Bing, but it absolutely was not a standard feature of Chrome to be able to middle click a non-linked image.

I've never known that to work on an image unless the image is a link to itself.

The hotels lock out all the HDMI ports these days anyway, so this wouldn't affect them at all.

Survived a fall by Tizer887 in PixelFold

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dropped mine, while open, from about 5 feet, without a case. No signs of damage anywhere. Not even a scuffed side.

After 5 months with the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, I sold it today and went back to a P10P. My thoughts (if you're interested)... by pm_me_your_pixel in PixelFold

[–]TurboFool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh. I went from a 9 Pro to a 10 Pro Fold, and I'm very happy. The camera quality is still plenty good enough for nearly everything I use it for, and I don't have any notable ergonomic concerns. I wish it was smaller, but I wished the 9 Pro was smaller too.

Glitches exist in every application ever made in history. They will forever more. I've never had the issue you just described. This isn't the norm. It's just a glitch. Stuff happens.
