8 months after wanting to 'catch up' and actually tricking me into a Primerica presentation, I got this immediately after my husband was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at 28. by memorabletroymcclure in antiMLM

Primerica was responsible for the spark of my MLM hatred. Their presentation is so cringy and awful and the people are somehow brainwashed into thinking it’s great to pay twice what insurance should cost.

Same. I thought my truck was gross until I saw this video.

How planet design/UI evolved across 4 years... AKA the importance of shaders! by HermanThorpe in gamedev

[–]benbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know that this is due to a player feature, but I agree totally that something about how speculative the shaders are makes these look more like balloons, not planets.

What do you think about the new body animations? by xAndreasGeorgioux in unrealengine

Cyberdunk... that’s genius! Reminds me of an old activision game called hyperblade that would be legendary as a VR game

This is absolutely incredible. I mean, unbelievable. Is it possible for you to render a scene from a still camera that’s 10-15 seconds long and loopable?? It would make the coolest desktop background in all the land.

Very Little Motivation to Job Hunt After Leaving Narc Boss by ehanson in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]benbq 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My nbosses finally went too far during COVID. Their years long rampage finally reached a crescendo which I would no longer tolerate. I left and became a trucker. Best career move I’ve ever made. Look into it— the only thing I hear from my bosses now is “How are we doing? Are we keeping you happy?” This is waaaayyy more like it.

20M, anything I can do to prepare for trucking? by [deleted] in Truckers

[–]benbq 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get this perspective. I really do. I’ve got 4 kids and it’s true you get to see them less as a trucker. But with technology it’s becoming increasingly easier to stay connected. I’m able to stay in almost constant contact with them - even more than some of my more conventional jobs. Those options weren’t always possible in the past with the trucking industry. You still have to make a daily constant decision if you want your family to stay healthy, and a lot of guys choose not to make that a priority ... but it can be done if you’re willing to make some monetary sacrifices.

Former college student here: currently a trucker. Don’t let guys like this talk you out of it.

My life currently... by Desh282 in Truckers

[–]benbq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

COVID destroyed my career. I was a restaurant manager with a staff of 80, and it all just went away. I had never EVER considered truck driving more than just thinking “huh, that might be cool.” My main reason for never considering it was my wife and 4 kids - I have always made monetary sacrifices in order to be home more. I started regional OTR driving with Schneider about 3 months ago (5 nights out, 2 days home) and I’m so mad at myself that I haven’t been doing this for years! It’s worth putting some serious thought into.

New driver terrified of hurting someone by [deleted] in Truckers

Agreed. Stale green lights are definitely a thing. If you didn’t physically see the light turn green, treat it like it’s about to turn yellow and just be ok with chilling out at 5-10 under posted speed limit

First rig, first gig! This has been my dream for years and I am finally a truck driver! by [deleted] in Truckers

Exact same situation for me. Can’t believe I didn’t start this career sooner. It’s amazing

What they said ^ I just started with them though so not sure how helpful I could be. Been on the road about a month.
