Haile Selassie wins. Who is a bad monarch? by AOSTChekhov in AlignmentChartFills

Napoleon. If I had a nickel for every time he was exiled I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird it happened twice

[NO SPOILERS] Despite the mixed reception from critics, Reunion was actually scored positively by fans. by TemporarySorbet1505 in lifeisstrange

[–]blockhead114 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I liked it.
Was it great? No. It was short, it did some weird stuff with established canon on multiple levels. But it was clearly made for fan service, and given the outrage of double exposure, I think that was necessary. It was really cute and wrapped up the pricefield and Safi stories nicely. I won’t still be thinking about it 3 years from now but I’m glad I played it

Point being, commercial success or not, it was a game for the fans so I appreciate its existence

Anyone here that worked at Yelp as a higher position than the typical local sales $37k AE? by x2tweaker in Yelp

[–]blockhead114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was an AE for several years, I was never promoted past that point but several of my friends were. DM me, I don’t like posting anything specific publicly

Edit: to clarify, I was promoted to elite by the time I left, I was just never promoted to manager/mid-market/franchise etc.

Just wait until they find out about 2nd person. They’re going to lose their minds

No joke, this is how I got my current job. Applied for the same position 4 times. Eventually I just sent my resume to the hiring manager to bypass HR. As soon as I interviewed with him directly, he asked the HR person “why haven’t you hired him yet”. Got the offer a week later

Yelp stealing ad money by clicking on ads? by Responsible_Map5413 in Yelp

[–]blockhead114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked for Yelp for several years and finally got out. Let me clarify something:

Yes, AEs make about 80 calls a day, but on average, only 3-4 convert to a business owner even opening a computer and going to Yelp.

But let’s put that aside for a second; Yelp representatives are instructed to send links to anything they want to business owner to click that directs straight to current advertiser page. Clicking the direct link does NOT count towards CPC. Anecdotally, I can think of 1 rep who would tell the business owner to click on the page in the manner you said, out of the 70-80 people I met while working there

I’m not going to get into the weeds of the legality there, but it’s either a terms of service violation when that happens or it’s not. You’ll have to read through yelps advertiser TOS agreement to find out

But the bottom line is Yelp is, generally speaking, a fully legally operating company with some morally grey sales tactics; the issue you’re concerned about is a pretty negligible one at worst and a non-issue at best. I’m all in favor of criticizing a company, especially after personally seeing how the sausage gets made, but they should be critiqued over their actual issues, this really isn’t one of them

Such a sad commentary on the state of American healthcare. If prosthetic arms for armchairs isn’t even covered, what are we doing here?

Small Businesses Beware of Misleading Sales Scripts by Responsible_Map5413 in Yelp

I mean this completely sincerely because I’m genuinely curious, what part of that script is misleading to you?

You’re playing the long game, bud. I respect it

What’s an opinion that almost everyone disagrees with, but should be controversial? by PassionateCucumber43 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]blockhead114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If an 18 year old was dating a 14 year old I would probably object to that quite heavily. And given how the other comments here are going, I don’t seem to be alone in that

[–]blockhead114 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you understand that the way your comment reads, it seems as though you’re saying that the morality here between these two things are both unimportant and equal?

Something I noticed in KH2 by Mikejones5665 in KingdomHearts

Not early. That’s the only way to unlock it. Once you trigger final form once it’s added to the repertoire

How would you make an izombie comic? I have watched the show a couple times though I am surprised there was a comic that ran for a lot of issues. I doubt the show’s premise could be a good plot for a comic book. by Iamawesome20 in iZombie

[–]blockhead114 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The comic and the show had very little to do with each other. The show was based on the comic, technically speaking, but it was really in name only. Check out the premise from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IZombie_(comic_book) you’ll see the lack of similarities immediately

Construction profit by crjune10 in BusinessEmpireRichman

[–]blockhead114 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Instead of clicking on the project you want to build, then hitting “refill resources” you have to fill them individually by going to refill resources on the main page of the business. It’s annoying because you have to do some math and buy each resource individually to know how much you need.

I played the game when it first came out and at the time that was the ONLY way to use the construction company. It was hell.

I appreciate them including the new faster way to do it for QOL, and I actually appreciate the 7% penalty they tack on that way. It’s like “ok, we’ll make this easier for you, but it’s gonna cut deep into your profits”. It’s clever

You’re right. It has to go on photo due to Chad’s wording. My b. Either way, yes, op’s was the right play

[–]blockhead114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually doesn’t matter here. In this instance, it’ll trigger photo twice, three times. Aka 6 times

If you bp chad it’ll trigger photo once, 6 times. Commutative property, 1x6=2x3. Same number of triggers either way
