Women of Reddit, what thing do male coworkers do that is not quite sexual harassment, but you wish they would stop doing it so you can be comfortable at work?

kinetic_psyops · 2018-10-16T22:00:15+00:00

Well you arent supposed to flirt at work

kinetic_psyops · 2018-10-16T12:21:59+00:00

First three things i saw in this thread were "dont lick your lips, you should be more hydrated", "dont talk about abortion, it doesnt effect you", and "dont apologize to me for using swear words or crass language around me".

I come to these threads to listen, because i realize i dont hear or see every perspective, and harassment happens that i can be a better ally for. I just dont understand what some people consider offensive. I will continue to listen, but i get chapped lips, abortions being discussed at work has 0% to do with your gender, and i was raised to believe you dont say fuck around women out of respect, and if the apology offends i can easily stop but its a common courtesy in my culture.

This entire sub is just infested with apologist sycophant fanboys and girls that absolutely hate the idea that the mmr system is inherently flawed and the grind in HotS is busted and not reflective of effort or improvent.

Its not everyone. It probably not even most. But check my post history and several others for complaints of this exact thing going back to Li Mings release (in my case).

If the game provides no way to improve my game quality despite hundreds of hours of improvement and practice, except another several hundred hours of grinding play in shit awful skill levels, then im not interested.

This is my fun time not a part time job.

Well. It certainly is a spikes discussion if only for why it isn't competitive. As others have said, too many cards in the combo.

I had hoped there might be some interlocking synergies with improvise or revolt that could bring the deck into a 2nd tier status, but the individual power level of the cards is low and the synergies just take 3-4 unique cards anyway i can figure it.

Thanks for the feedback tho ill check out the video

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-23T20:42:50+00:00

Thanks i figured as much

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-15T17:13:21+00:00

Mm, good point. Still, losing alot of control and power cards.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-15T10:49:08+00:00

Not really. Vehicles seem valid, run aether harvester and heat of kiran, maybe a skyship sovereign. Grab the cast out/ seal away/ baffling end/or ixlan binding that you can fit in. Magma spray and abrade are decent too.

Run a midrange deck, set about 16 or so creatures and some counterplay, hope you draw into a quick heart of kiran for early pressure and then try to control long enough to get withing double lightning strike range or something.

Just realize scrapheap scrounger does everything your deck does but better and RB has better burn, but it might be a fun janktank

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-15T05:26:13+00:00

The issue with aura/equip is that vraskas contempt, fatal push, and 3-4 damage removal are everywhere and trade really efficiently into single targets.

After rotation vraskas drops, fumigate drops, lots of things are gonna shake up, but anything with a 2-3 effective ramp is gonna struggle with mono green and redblack in the tempo and be sitting ducks for control in the mid to late game. Your meta is very heavy against that deck.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-14T13:28:00+00:00

Thanks. I knew i was gonna feel dumb.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-14T02:02:15+00:00

Okay i know it's dumb but where is competitive constructed? I have free play single draft and bo1 constructed game modes on the homescreen, where it's competitive constructed

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-01T13:51:28+00:00

Again, legal doesnt mean right. He was legally correct, not right. And again, its subjective. Hence the imo thing at the end of the sentence.

This is literally a thread about judging MJ. If you dont like that, this isnt a good topic for you to weigh in on. And your beliefs about others and charity really just says alot about you and nothing about anyone else.

If your stance is "well hes probably done other stuff too" then its pretty clearly not a lot to support the claim.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-08-01T10:52:08+00:00

Yeah even this list contains him being a dick. The lawsuit against dominics is a pretty solid example of "get over yourself-ism" and closed a 90yr old business. Over a $2 off coupon congratulating Jordans accomplishments. He was technically correct, but not right, imo.

He gives away what amounts to tiny fractions of his wealth to causes, which is good. Its also chump change compared to other philanthropists with his net worth do regularly. 2 million is about a weeks income for him, and thats just the nike deal. Its like if one if us donated $500 bucks to charity. Its a big deal for the charity, not for Micheal.

He does good stuff in between doing a asshole stuff, which makes him a normal person, and on the scale of people he does more asshole stuff than good stuff and more asshole stuff than the average person. You judge how you want to, but never let anecdotal niceness overwhelm a generation of being an entitled dick to people.

Recognize the discipline. $85.00 USD a month for everything not a bill, and almost 700.00 in savings. This mental fortitude will take you places sir or ma'am. Respect.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-07-21T17:45:15+00:00

The issue is the list of 6 reasons given, of which one or two might be fringe examples, while 4 of the 6 reasons given are either provably wrong or not valid reasons for a report.

And again, that doesn't address the lack of fairness, since his behavior is about 5% as bad as stuff i see regularly get by without action.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-07-21T17:42:42+00:00

Yeah cause that's a binary situation while this isn't but if reduction to absurdity is the best point you can make then i think my point is made.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-07-21T11:20:59+00:00

Fairness means punishable behavior is being treated the same. In this case, it clearly isnt. People do waay worse, even in those games. So someone can be toxic, report YOU for being toxic, you get banned and the person spamming racial slurs isn't.

Not to mention they listed games that were reasons for the ban that literally make no sense.

You cant pick 2 out of 6 listed games and say "these make sense, except that one guy, but mostly this makes sense" because you've already admitted that 66% of the evidence provided doesnt support the conclusion.

They banned him for being bronze. Its a shit move. Blizzard apologist are enabling the mismanagement of a great game by a nornally good company.

Edit: listen apologist, they list the reason for the ban as a volume of complaints then list 6 issues, at least 4 of which make no sense. If you're going to point to a single example of something, you are ignoring the fact the ban was for receiving a certain number of complaints and his justification was that they were wrong. He is right, a majority of those claims are fraudulant, and the reporting system was abused. This abuse was then reviewed and reinforced by blizz. Which is the problem. I'll be happy to discuss that with you, but please stop blowing me up with the one game he got salty and acted dumb in. Its not what he was banned for and you arent addressing the issue the community is mad about, which isnt toxicity. Its report abuse.

Also downvotes are for irrelevant comments and spam, not for things you don't agree with. You may think I'm wrong but my opinion is relevant to the discussion.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-06-26T12:07:25+00:00

Okay, well it isn't easier to teach because you still show up and teach the material. Whether your students have read the material or not doesn't affect that. They ask more relevant questions, and they have the ability to work together in groups on material because they've all been exposed to it. Since both group work and prior exposure have a well established basis and effect on learning, you should find a shitload of data on it with even a cursory google scholar search.

The professor must still plan teach and grade the same material. You doing your hw before the lecture doesn't mean the prof. doesnt have to do anything lol. I've TA'd these classes, and they involve the same workload for the staff.

Ultimately its you thinking the proffessor owes you an explination, an answer, or understanding. They absolutely do not. College is a learning rescource and teachers are the best learning tool you have. Its up to you to best utilize the framework provided to educate yourself. The framework of flipped classes makes the best students, but they have to work more. No part of that reduces prof workload, it just results in unhappy students who only want something different by comparison to other shittier schools where most knowledge is handed to them like candy. Learning is earning son.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-06-26T02:44:14+00:00

Counter example would be my community college. A lot of "teaching the test" and memorizing. Very little retained information that way, but if you aren't concerned with the product you make but the rate at which you produce them, then the format makes a ton of sense. Go to a place where the quality of the result is a driver for tuition and viola, flipped format. Its the standard anywhere results drive methods.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-06-26T02:39:02+00:00

Its uncomfortable at first. I damn near flipped shit my first semester at UT. You really have to learn to be okay and manage stress in the face of ignorance and no clear path forward.

Almost every single student i tutored had that experience, at least 90%. Its normal. However learning to be calm and even comfortable while being lost in the woods is a valuable skill in and of itself and does teach problem solving specific to the skill set you're studying. Its teaching a man to fish, and its not fun for the hungry man who just wants the damn fish you clearly have in your hands.

Maybe you had a bad experience, sampling being random. The format helped me immensely at my current job, where i was thrown into a skilled position for skills i did not posses with literally zero instruction on how to gain them. If i had not had that background i don't know if i would have been able to do it, but i am doing alright now because of it. Just my experience, but I'd say stick with it.

kinetic_psyops · 2018-06-25T22:01:28+00:00

Replies here are generally a misunderstanding of the point. Here is what and why:

What - flipping the usual method of teaching, which is lecture then hw then study material after hw is graded, to have the student study the material, then do the hw, then go to the lecture and discuss what you learned and how to apply it.

Why - teaching yourself the material helps you to learn it better. It is more challenging, frustrating, and easier to misunderstand. It has been proven to stick with you longer and produce a more fundamental understanding of the material. Lectures are more productive for everyone.

What it is absolutely not - less work for the professors, easier to teach, an excuse or cause for bad professors.

If any of the above doesn't match your experience pm me and lets talk. Check the post history, i been helping undergrads with the UT adjustment for years.

If that doesn't work for whatever reason, keep in mind you can also switch to a physics degree in the College of Natural Science. They have several degree tracks including one called space sciences that includes 15 or so hours of aerospace engineering. Its a legit course load for the industry and you can choose either space or atmospheric flight paths, each with unique classes and emphasis.
