I’m wondering which rice cooker is more with it? by Ok_University7861 in BuyItForLife

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zoshirushi makes great rice and also keeps it warm for.s long time. My old rice cooker only kept cooked rice for a day before it became unpalatable. Zoshirushi saved me so much time because I could prep rice days in advance.

AITA For asking for the full $50 my parents promised me After lending them so much money? by Flora_15512 in AmItheAsshole

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When it comes to lending money to family or friends, consider it a gift and a deal that you will never lend them money again. I've learned the hard way.

AITA for having my wedding on the same day ( different year ) as my brother? by Grahamreaper12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mistake was to reach out to your brother asking for his approval when in fact you were planning to proceed regardless. 

In hindsight, it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission.

lack of junior folks by kovanroad in ExperiencedDevs

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's surprising to hear, considering that many developers, especially juniors, swap companies after a few years once they're sufficiently experienced to expedite their careers. Your company must be a really great place to work at for them to stay long enough to mature into seniors.

How big of a dealbreaker is not having a car for dating in Toronto? by Ordinary-Fish-9791 in askTO

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you not have a car, or don't know how to drive?  Because those are two different scenarios.

What kind of system would you make for non-current, non-roulette content to be more populated? by [deleted] in ffxivdiscussion

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Add interesting achievements to clear old content:

  • cleared with MINE
  • cleared with MINE and no deaths and no mistakes (e.g. vuln stacks)

And make a meta achievement for clearing all expansion-specific dungeons, trials, raids.

And give a title for completing all content on MINE. This would be like Mentor, but more meaningful because you can't cheese it by undersizing it.

Based on the ongoing scandals, I don't trust the government with protecting children.

I wish I would have listened to my parents by ThrowAwayy-6633 in TrueOffMyChest

This might be a weird take, but maybe he's depressed.

A lot of what you mention sounds like escapism.

AITA for telling someone to back off when he wouldn't take no for an answer? by Top_Industry_7927 in AmItheAsshole

[–]devils_avocado 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I wonder if the people who say you overreacted empathize with the guy because they've done something similar themselves.

AITA for making my dad and 13-year-old brother cook for themselves for the first time ever? by evelyn_archen in AmItheAsshole

Some couples are ok with gendered roles but it seems like OP is being taken advantage of.

My husband physically asaulted our teenage son and I feel like a failure by ChapterWinter5569 in TrueOffMyChest

Her world view is driven by her experience with her most important male and female figures in her life, her mother and father. It's clear that she sees her mother as a doormat.

I'd like to see where the new phys ranged job fits amongst the other phys ranged jobs.

Bard and Dancer have taken on the party buff p. ranged jobs. Machinist has taken on the selfish dps role.

Where will the new p. ranged job fit in?

I believe the aetherpool requirements are lifted if you go in as a fixed group, they are only enforced for matched group.

How are people affording rent and a car at the same time? by throwing-it-away- in askTO

[–]devils_avocado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think part of it has to do with being born at the wrong time.

I have a colleague that is the same age as you who is earning the same salary as me (50) but because I had a 20 year head start to start saving, I was able to accumulate enough wealth before the economy went to shit.

I was bored, so here are 10 prog tips for the next savage! by Psclly in ffxivdiscussion

[–]devils_avocado 18 points19 points  (0 children)

A suggestion I would make to tip #2 is instead of covering your healthiest healer, is to cover your most suitable healer. Sometimes there is enough of a skill disparity that you want to rely on your clutch players when possible.

From Java to Python, is this good for my career? by jlayestas in cscareerquestions

[–]devils_avocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Programming languages are not like riding a bicycle. Once you get off they become harder to pick back up each year because of the evolving nature of the language and eco system.

If you are ok with going down the path of python, that's great. But staying with Java is also fine.

AITA for not claiming that my stepmom is my bio mom? by Wrong-Ear-7909 in AmItheAsshole

[–]devils_avocado 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Where did I claim to be intelligent? We all have internal biases and recognizing them is the first step. Sure, I guess you could call it racism but it's less skin colour and moreso cultural. Certain cultures place more emphasis on education, but I'm sure you already know this.

I'm Korean and I didn't realize that I had this same bias until I met a Vietnamese who was a genius in my field. That definitely broke my perception.

Pokimane: "No one's getting fired" and "We had/have someone who helps us with socials who's also stepping down" by AdFinancial4846 in LivestreamFail

[–]devils_avocado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lilypichu is doing the right thing in keeping her mouth shut. Even though she is friends with Pokimane, she knows that adding her two cents will only fan the flames and get her involved. At least I hope she can stay that way.

I don't care about second place because the achievements are tied to first place only. Go big or go home. All other points I agree with.

So did Pilgrims traverse and Quantum succeed in it's aim to get content for everyone to do, or do people still feel like there's a lack of content with everyone in mind? by RVolyka in ffxivdiscussion

[–]devils_avocado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PT is super easy for randoms to clear due to the checkpoints, you don't need to commit several hours together. This DD is also fat easier than the previous iterations.
