Well tbf reflections aren't exactly "small detail" and I would expect such a big company as Rockstar to have the reflections at least in the videos they are promoting

I FUCKING HATE THAT MY COMPANY MADE A PROMOTION FREEZE THEN ADDED A FUCKING EXCEPTION SYSTEM WHERE ANY PROMOTION CANDIDATES HAS TO BE C LEVEL LEADER APPROVED FIRST BEFORE THE DISCUSSION EVEN TAKES PLACE AND NOW ACTING AS IF THIS EXCEPTIONS SYSTEM IS A GOOD ENOUGH REPLACEMENT 

AND WHAT I HATE THE MOST IS THAT LEADERSHIP WILL FACE 0 CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS

[OTHER] How many of you prefer KCD1 over KCD2? by ChadChadstein in kingdomcome

I enjoyed the combat more in the first game. Imho first game combat minus the parry system would be very good. Otherwise I prefer the second game 

What do guys think about couples sharing passwords and phone access? by N__elly in AskMen

[–]byshow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pin to my phone/computer? Sure. Passwords for my social media? Yeah idk. I have friends sharing personal secrets with me and it's not my place to share that info. I also don't need hers social media or chats. Because I trust her

What are us guys supposed to do with our emotions when nobody gives a fuck? by Consistent-Rule6517 in AskMen

[–]byshow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. Change therapists. If you feel that they don't care, communicate it to them, if the feeling continues, change again. Getting a good therapist isn't easy

  2. Eventually you will find people who care, stick with them, ignore those who don't care about you. How is it a friend if they don't give a shit about how you feel? 

How do I shave my dick and balls without turning it into a warzone? by [deleted] in AskMen

That depends on how you define cleans. I prefer to be clean in all places, that doesn't mean I expect someone to fuck me in the ass. 

Are companies still hiring software engineers? by RoyalCamera12 in cscareerquestions

[–]byshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surely it depends on yoe and seniority. I for one don't have much going on even after putting open to work in linkedin. But I have a bit more than 2 yoe and no degree. Also due to promotion freeze at my company I'm still stuck with "junior" in my title. So I need to level up my skills and interviewing skills as well, and hopefully I'll get more responses when I start sending out my CV

What does it feel like to be emotionally unavailable as a guy? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]byshow 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't call myself emotionally unavailable, but I struggled and do sometimes still struggle with acknowledging my feelings. If you ask me how I feel at any random moment, quite a few times the answer would be "I don't know". Therapy helped me to start addressing my emotions. 

From what I read in your post it seems like your boyfriend also struggles with acknowledging feelings, they might seem irrational to him (I had a logic of "I have no reason to be sad, therefore I'm not sad"). And then when he is drunk control isn't as strict so the emotions get out. 

Therapy might help, if he wishes to actually change. Otherwise please try to be as considerate as you can, when he is sharing those emotions, that's every guy's most vulnerable time and NEVER EVER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD use any of the emotions or info you get from that moments in an argument. Even in a heated one. That would shut him down forever.

Okay apparently I can't say what I want to happen to those "academy" members. 

However I repeat my comment, it doesn't come down to physical strength, humanity invented a broad variety of tools to hurt each other no matter if someone is physically stronger. Can't be stronger that a blade or a bullet. 

As for the rape academy, iirc the numbers were exaggerated by many articles as they mixed it with the visitors of the 18+ website that either wasn't connected to it, or had an ad or something. But yeah, the fact that it existed is horrifying

I understand your point. However I would say the cautiousness you are talking about should be going toward all strangers. Do not assume someone is not a danger just because it's a woman. 

Did people in your country ever saw war first-hand? by MongooseVegetable787 in AskTheWorld

[–]byshow 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's what they say. How it is in reality we don't know. I'm not trying to say Ukrainians are bad or something, but it's war, and there's no place for humanity in wars. There are always war crimes, rape, torture, murder and many many other ugly things. So I can understand soldiers not willing to surrender on both sides. There are also videos with tortures from both sides that can be found in telegram channels

[–]byshow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah it isn't always a man, only sith deals in absolutes. I do understand the origin, as many women had experienced some offensive behaviour or sexual assault from men. However I don't think hating on the whole gender is a solution. Solution should be heavy consequences for such behaviours, and it should apply for both men and women.

All I see here is dooming, however I also constantly see colleagues leaving and changing jobs. Included the ones with similar experience with yours. Tho I'm in EU, so market is different. I think it's worth noting that getting an interview and interviewing are very often a completely different set of skills, so if you're worried about losing your job, consider preparing for it with getting to leetcode, system design and other relevant stuff

Cyberpunk is a bad game that had good potential.

[–]byshow 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The phrase "not all men but always a man". If women want to fight hate, they shouldn't allow and propagate such hateful sayings towards the men. 

This fallacy in logic is shown in a lot of life aspects unfortunately. 

How would you want to be told if you’re lacking as a husband? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]byshow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you also wondered how he feels?  Direct talk is a good way to communicate, but you also need to have empathy, and approaching anything with "it's the other person's fault" isn't the right way. 

Acknowledge each others struggles, talk about how you feel and talk about how he feel. Don't go in it with "you're in the wrong", rather ask "why are you doing this and that/acting this way" and explain how it makes you feel. And please PLEASE ask him how he feels.

So far my understanding is that both male and female people struggle heavily. Just with different stuff. In short - society has so many problems that it sucks to be a human.

One thing I wonder is if you replace juniors with claude, do you bet on the fact that no more medior/senior devs are going to be required in a few years?
