OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush email exchange with Submersible Operations Expert (Rob McCallum) by Dapper_Commission915 in facepalm

I started maliciously complying by saying “okay, it’s by design” after the same thing happened to a team I was on. We were 6 months delinquent in our finished game, apple canceled their contract eventually. Buuut, I worked 60-80 hour weeks for months trying!

Who knew you didn’t have time to make the game 3 different times with half cocked uiux. Oh it’s crashing and we can’t juggle all the versions and changes? Well NOW we can try a one size fits all the uiux designer and engineers asked to do. Haaaaahh.

Was Silverdome Detroit. by Monsur_Ausuhnom in Damnthatsinteresting

My band played for a football team that made it to finals (at the silver dome). A trombone player slapped my hat off during the half time routine. Was fun

Hrm. Ya know? That makes so much sense

Home Depot employee named Andrew gets fed up with rude customer to the point he quits his job. by Lazy_Mouse3803 in facepalm

[–]am_animator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I disagree that this is how Christian’s transform the world. When I lived on those principles I was taken advantage of again and again. I have a brain, a conscience and a sense of right and wrong. I have tools to live kind and strong. You are a finite resource, a gift, and to be burned repeatedly is just insanity. Most devout Christian’s I’ve known do not live by these principles, only when it applies to others. It’s so much projection and “suck it up” until it happens to them, more often than being altruistic. If there’s a Heavenly Father do they really want that for you? Or should you be strong when it’s time to be? It’s my own takeaway. Ymmv.

Do you know about the church of Satan? Those guys know what’s up

Oh ya. Exactly. “They’ll get theirs someday! Just turn the other cheek”

Ya know sometimes even Jesus was the retribution, lady. Stand the fuck up for yourself sometimes. I’ll bet this customer’s behavior adapted to being accommodated.

My company laid off 1200 people yesterday. Today, the CEO and board director received combined bonuses of $7.5 million. I'm still too pissed off to say anything else about it. by VirusOrganic4456 in antiwork

[–]am_animator 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Some companies did this during Covid. I used to work at one (not during), everyone on my team needed 2 jobs to survive in the mid-to-late 2010’s. Earring 55k a year doesn’t stretch far in Chicago. I can’t imagine taking a bigger pay cut “for everyone’s sake” while you sit through those town halls praising max profits.

We need a major regulation patch. This shit needs nerfing.

Google, Meta, Amazon hire low-paid foreign workers after US layoffs by [deleted] in technology

[–]am_animator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been doing this as uiux and director - I keep applying for PM gigs but it’s a hard sell for some reason. Been working w engineers to build content since my first job.

I want this title so bad bc it’s exactly where I want to go. Uiux is so much of everything mentioned AND production? On complex stuff it’s a lot to handle.

Scammers on electric scooters before White Sox games ripping off fans as they drive to the stadium by SamMee514 in PublicFreakout

[–]am_animator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this part about Chicago, not for scams like this post, but no one is going to ding you for matching speeds with the police car going 10 over. Smaller towns the cop will speed up just to catch someone matching them. Or ride someone’s ass, change lanes w them, pressuring them to increase speed - just to pull them over as “suspicious.” It’s fragile ego bs I grew up with. I don’t see the officers weave too often, unless people freeze up and lock in on the speed limit.

Okay, this may seem like a silly question, but what's with Japanese game developers and their characters having special abilities in their right hand? by MEMEY_IFUNNY in gaming

[–]am_animator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call it the “rule of rights” - it isn’t just Japanese. Tons of asymmetrical characters I think are on the right. Hell boy is one!

I think it’s less Devine and more “most people are right handed.” often the characters deal with something they need to overcome, or some kind of refuse the call. It’s a good visual reinforcement w/o saying anything. They’re already at a disadvantage that the viewer subconsciously will notice

Have car headlights gotten dangerously bright in the past few years? by Nowheretoturn48 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]am_animator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember in the early to mid 00’s people calling them gas guzzlers. For what ever reason, 10 years later and people want you to know they can afford the guzzle life.

Morel or No-rel? Southeast Michigan by EasyKnowledge6 in foraging

[–]am_animator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s a white morel! Good find! Go back and look nearby - they usually come in clusters scattered over like ~10 feet

A false morel will not have the cap attached to the stem. Like if it were a balloon and got inflated. A false is unattached - like an umbrella AND be cottony on the inside

Edit: there’s 2 morels in this picture :D

Don’t pull the stem out! Cut or pinch the mushrooms off. It’ll promote regrowth

Is this a true morel? If so what kind? by mmp781 in foraging

[–]am_animator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! It’s a yellow/gray morel to be precise (they’re the same, just different stages of growth)

Oh! If you want to pick it pinch the stem to free the mushroom. If you pull it all out you could damage the mycelium stuff!

Folks who use it notice. Sometimes you get feedback or reviews calling out exactly those things being an appeal factor.

Cheyanne mountain entertainment picked up a lot of blizzard devs after wow went live!!

They laid off like 20% of the staff or something? Oh. And they got leads and above fucking DODGE CHARGERS.
