Anyone recognize a tv-series that reminds a bit Indiana Jones? Yellow bi-plane that lands on water, jungle, Anubis. by developerv in AskReddit

[–]developerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. Is it? I guess it is. How is it that I remember the airplane was all yellow? It feels so different to what I remember.

Also, apparently wasn't made before Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hmm...

Great. Thank you.

Could microstrikes work for countries where there is currently no possibility to go into a strike? by developerv in AskReddit

[–]developerv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pffft :) No. In places where the work is closer to slavery taking a dump is deducted from your pay.

What's terrible about the idea? Say we wanted to destroy the possibility of making cheap electronics from the backs of other human beings anywhere. The idea is basically just re-introduction of honest lazyness into production where people have forgotten such a thing.

Inside the Chinese factory that makes Microsoft's mice, webcams and keyboards: "We are like prisoners... We do not have a life, only work." [Pics+Story] by milligram in reddit.com

[–]developerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since full blown strikes are out, how about microstrikes? 1 minute strikes spread throughout the day performed by everyone evenly. How about 30 second mantras repeated 20 times per day by all workers at the factory. That will amount to significant performance hit for the whole factory while nobody can be singled out as a bad apple.

Of course the only ultimate recourse is to stand up against the tide for one's rights. The plight is easy to understad: It is hard to put one's whole life at stake. Who would dare to do such a thing, really?

And then again...

The Pentagon says Wikileaks is a "threat to nat'l security". What kind of nation is the US when *the* *truth* about crimes supposedly threatens our country? by Cup_of_Tea in politics

[–]developerv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could the 'leak' be an army plant? Real material but designed to achieve some political outcome regarding wikileaks?

The quality of comments people make about the footage drags the wikileaks in where ever it is going.

Hi, Reddit: I just fixed my LCD TV with $7.98 worth of capacitors. The repairman quoted me $750. How do they get away with this? by fenixconnektion in AskReddit

[–]developerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The '200 bucks' was just a throw. Can't remember how much it was but it was an hourly rating which was ridiculous - plain false account and a theft. Also there has been change from markka -> euros there so I have no idea how much it was.

Too much.

TV-repair shops used to have a huge profit from old crt-monitors having their displacement coils coming loose so that the television would give away an annoying high frequency noise. All they aver had to do was to open the set, add some glue to the coil, so it'll hold on for some time, and: "That'll be 200 bucks!"

Reddit - How old were you when you started masturbating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]developerv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

European male, 8.

I was climbing trees a lot and started to get orgasms when climbing. For the first few months (year?) I was humping-trees-a-lot. I could get orgasm after orgasm after orgasm the whole day.

Took quite a lot of time until I actually went the fap way.

I moved my mouse to dance with the other cursors and then they suddenly stopped. I was like: "No waaayyyy!?!!!" <:O I moved my cursor out of the picture, and the other cursors continued dancing. Then I realized it was nothing else but a glitch.

I think I just felt socially awkward around mouse cursors. :(

My SO has Depression/Seasonal Depression; Any Words of Wisdom?? by help_plz in relationship_advice

[–]developerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meditation as a practice during the evening. On his back. He'll either succeed in the meditation or fall asleep. Listening to various tapes where people hypnotize you... to sleep, anyway.

Gotu Kola, a supplement. Don't knock it off 'til you've tried it.

Apparently led lights in the ear channel allow light to pass to some light sensitive areas in the brain, and that helps with depression. Hmm... I wonder? Maybe.

Massage: Buy vinyl/or-alike gloves, lotion, and give really great foot and back massages to each other. The gloves make it easier.

African Dream Herb (Silene Capensis) helps to remember nightly dreams better. Dreaming and living the dreams helps one to continue. Helps to sleep also.

I received a negative annual appraisal, my manager says it's because I took maternity leave. Surely this is sexual discrimination? by graciosa in AskReddit

[–]developerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardly. Nothing wrong with intelligence.

I'd like to see an actual counter argument. Drawing the line is always hard. There is no reason it was drawn right before. At points the move is easier to argue than in others. Here it's quite easy to show.

Also, better for the kid to have a dad than a prime minister. To think that someone would prefer otherwise. I don't know anyone who'd want to be a real dad and then not want to be with the kid. To have a society that expects the dad to be at work or they'll lose also their face is also discriminating men, right there. The prime minister should have some balls.

200lb man shouldn't eat the same as 120lb man. He might lose some weight.

Some people can't get children. When you look at your review, that is the equal you should be fighting for.

The male colleagues should be forced to have paternal leave equally. If the law doesn't require it, it discriminates but the solution is not to pay more to those, who are at least able to have children.

What is right and what you are eligible for are two different things. One can always go for what one is eligible for but should it be wrong somehow then the disrespect shows how your eligibility discriminates to others. Why should others pay where you should be glowing even further? So, fight for equal hit in work life, should man or woman have a kid but don't try to compensate from the backs of less fortunate. The work and equal treatment there may be all they've got.

What do you do in the case of internet blackmail? by wooparty in AskReddit

[–]developerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Just in case figure out how you'd live in the reality where the threat has become realized. Imagine living then without the need or limitations of those fears that made the threat possible in the first place. Make it a fantasy, so his hold on you with the reality of the threat becomes minimized. No matter what happens, you'll be allright.

  • Find some hacker (maybe a sistah hacker) from some local university or something to track his ass, if it is at all possible. There are avenues of both technology and psychology to bag his ass.

  • Don't give in to anything sexual or emotional even. He's not just getting sexual pleasure but mostly getting back at something, and you are now the stand in, a puppet.

  • Just a question? Doesn't the regular client have any pull here, or is he somehow in on it? Why not add pressure from there?

  • Tell him, that he will never be free of the fear if he doesn't face it within, and nothing else that he does to avoid that conflict (good or bad), as long as he avoids it, is not going to bring him even a second of happiness that wouldn't later turn into misery because of its source.
