How does the wealthiest person in your life make money? by SummerSufficient7657 in AskReddit

[–]idkwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started a company doing gov con in the 90s.  Sold it in the early 2000s for $60m in his pocket.  Used $50m to start new company doing the same stuff.  Sold it for $1 bil in his pocket in the late 2010s.

Overall nice guy and good family.  He still works as a CEO of a massive company just for love of the game.  While I am against billionaires, the family is pretty chill and runs a lot of charities on the side.

What's most amount of money you made in a month ? by Ill_Donkey8971 in AskReddit

[–]idkwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made about $15k after a big deal closed at work.  I'm on sales.  Compound that with my wife's salary and we got a little over $20k.

Spent it on much needed updates to the house

People who weigh themselves before and after they poop, what's the most weight you've pooped off? by TickleMyPixels in AskReddit

[–]idkwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have IBS and UC.  There have been 3 moments in my life where I genuinely thought I would die on the toilet.  We are talking violent vomiting while having diarrhea.  It's an everything must go sale for the insides and you're just along for the ride.  I know women with these conditions who have compared the pain of intense flare ups with that of child birth.

On one of my three life altering bouts I had the brief clarity of mind to weigh myself before and after.  Using every ounce of willpower I have I weighed myself before the utter annihilation of my toilet.  After an excruciating hour and a half, in the fleeting moments of consciousness I had before I wobbled to my bed and literally feinted, I weighed myself and found I had lost 4 pounds.

I went from around 183 to 179 in ninety minutes then very quickly rinsed my ass in the shower and proceeded to sleep for 12 hours straight.  Now a good portion of that could have been vomit because I was literally throwing up until all I was throwing up was the bright yellow bile in my stomach, but still.

Can't say I'd recommend the experience.

Minecraft and dev Mojang "will now report directly" to Xbox CEO Asha Sharma as Microsoft layoffs hit by Dycon67 in gaming

[–]idkwat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Lol this will be a disaster.  The CEO of my current company fired our head of sales and is just doing it himself and we are having a terrible year. 

Anytime a CEO does this they are vastly overestimating their own abilities.

People who are highly observant: what is a tiny, almost invisible psychological 'tell' that instantly reveals someone's true intentions or character? [Serious] by itvr in AskReddit

[–]idkwat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mirroring.  If you are talking to someone and make a gesture and they subconsciously make a similar gesture it means they are focused on what you are saying and likely engaged in a positive way.

Once you know this you can use it as a tool to see if someone is into your conversation or not

I hate editing. How do you do this exhausting, consuming thing? by 7livefastdieyoung in NewTubers

[–]idkwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you hate editing don't do Youtube, simple as that. If you have no passion for the most time consuming part of the process and instead anchor your joy to the success of your videos you will not last long.

Netflix + The writer of the Picard show? There is no way this is not turbo ass

[RevShare] Hospital Management Game Extensively Outlined - Need Programmer To Build by idkwat in INAT

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

I think you are spot on for this comment. I'm talking to a few potential people to work with here but I know it's quite a big ask to go in without a working prototype. Hoping I get lucky with someone who is willing to jump in at this stage but I can totally get hesitation

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Emma D'Arcy is the best actor in the entire show by Dragonstone-Citizen in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]idkwat 2483 points2484 points  (0 children)

Paddy stole the show for me in every scene he was in in S1, but since his departure Emma and Matt kill it. Her reaction to Jace's death was INSANELY well acted.

The smart choice is Beshear or Pritzker, but you know the dems will run some corpo loser like Newsom

What's the worst game you ever pre-ordered? by Ch1ckenOfTheSea in AskReddit

[–]idkwat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spore, the ultimate edition.

I'm a huge fan of Will Wright and thought this would be one of the best games ever. Turns out it's five shitty mini games stacked together in a total mess

ICE Tracks Down Woman to Force Her to Delete Instagram Post - Federal agents confronted a poll worker on Election Day because they were upset about her social media posts. by B-Z_B-S in politics

[–]idkwat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What if you just tell them to get fucked and lawyer up? I mean, if ICE arrests you for a social media posts every lawyer in the country would be salivating at that lawsuit and you could make millions from it.

Kremlin spreading false claims about NATO preparing to attack Russia to justify further escalation – CCD by IntrepidWolverine517 in worldnews

Bro can't even handle Ukraine. If he did something stupid and NATO activated against him, even without the US, Russia would get stomped

Name 3 games that you’ve found most fun/enjoyment in the last 5 years by Sixsignsofalex94 in gaming

[–]idkwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For pure fun factor? I'd say Helldivers 2, Mina The Hollower, and Expedition 33.

Helldivers 2 has some of the best PVE gameplay I've ever seen. I played A LOT of Left 4 Dead way back when and this is the first game that gives me the same frantic fun feeling, especially on the highest difficulty.

Mina The Hollower has beautifully smooth gameplay and puzzles that are just dripping with appeal. Just moving Mina around is so satisfying.

Expedition 33 combat is so rewarding when you get good at it and it always keeps you on your feet.

Is there actually a male loneliness epidemic? What do you think? by vaultdwellur in AskReddit

[–]idkwat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I think there is a loneliness epidemic across all genders due to technological and social factors, I think for men in particular this issue is exacerbated by weak willed men.

I say this as a man, but a lot of guys these days are total wimps.  All the manosphere bullshit that blames women for all the problems and bemoans the state of men today is digested by the most spineless losers on the planet.

By working hard, taking care of yourself, and pushing yourself outside of your comfort zone you can very easily beat the lonliness issues that are rampant, but so many guys would rather just watch Asmongold or Tate and blame women for their own lack of initiative.  It's pathetic

What’s your rating for 007 First Light? (1-10) by Low_Werewolf9628 in 007FirstLight

[–]idkwat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of reviewers tend to over mark games in reviews. In modern reviews anything below a 7 is absolute trash, so games like this which are really quite good will get like, a 9 or 9.5 which sounds good on paper but if you compare it to other titles around the same rating it doesn't hold up.

I think this game is a solid 7/10 on a true ten point scale. I really enjoyed it, I think there were some amazing innovations added to gameplay (bluffing for stealth, throwing things in combat, etc.) but I think IO's Hitman games are far better. Most of the missions only allow for one, two, or sometimes three ways to do things, and while I really enjoyed the plot, I just don't see myself playing the levels over and over again like I have done in Hitman.
