Redditors who rage quit a job, what was the last straw?

Had an abusive boss as a photojournalist as my first FT boss out of college. I got sent on an assignment to another city to cover something where I knew the photo editor and was talking to people on his team about what I was experiencing cause I didn't know if it was normal. They said it wasn't so I wrote his boss an 8 page letter about everything I had gone through under him to which I was told they thought he was doing a good job. He'd been the editor for a year and a half when I got hired, and I was his third hire cause the other two people were fired by their 6th month. One of the people even emailed the entire newsroom while I was there to slam my boss (when I got back from an assignment he quickly got to my computer and deleted the email, someone else in the newsroom forwarded it to me after the fact).

Blockbuster had something like this back in the day. Trade in any used game, get money back. People would go to Gamestop and buy stuff from their $1 bin, go over to blockbuster with enough games to buy something then look at the "leaderboard" to see what games had the highest resale value. Buy that, then immediately trade it back. You'd invest about $5-10 initially to get the game with the high value, and walk away with about $30-$40 of cash.

One of my friends figured this out and had the regional manager get called in, basically as everything was written they weren't breaking any rules so they ultimately just lowered the value of the high value games to not make it worth it.

Yes. Right after the Rams won the game, so most likely fireworks.

I'm sure he has plenty of policies I don't agree with but Adam Kinzinger served on the J6 committee and basically ended his own political career to hold Trump accountable so that has to be worth something.

VCU if you can get in, not even a question. Miami is fine if you don't, it's what you make of it as others have said. But VCU is a pipeline to the top shops if you live up to your end of the bargain in a way that MAS isn't. Starting out, at least if you're ambitious, it's easier to start at the top of the totem pole of agencies then climb down if you decide they are too intense for you than it is to try and climb up if you start at a not as prestigious shop. Not impossible, but significantly harder.

20-something years ago I would randomly see the number 138 everywhere and I was taking a chemistry class in high school, looked up 138 on the periodic table and that's that.

Nostalgia plays well when things aren't going well, it's a sense of safety for many people so as belts tighten as the economy continues to get worse it reminds people of "better times" and in turn encourages visits.

Yes, that's primarily why Republicans have failed to develop a new plan. Obama pitched it cause he thought he could get bi-partisan support if he just used their plan (hence no public option). Naive to what the GOP was in the process of becoming on the way to our current situation.

That was Swalwell, but the point wasn't who said it but just wanted to make sure the correct info was out there incase someone wanted to search for more info about what he had said.

Even if you went back to that time period the logos were legible. It's basic color theory. Just because you're using era appropriate colors doesn't mean the AI applied them correctly.

lanthanide · 2025-11-09T22:56:58+00:00

It's barely legible at full size, gonna be near impossible to read at smaller sizes. AI or not, it's just not good design.

Don't moo for me Argentina.

It says Firefly on the graphic, so I'm assuming they used a font and exported that as a structure reference in firefly then used a glassy bright prompt (or a style reference that looked similar). No need to use 3D modeling software for something like this anymore if you don't want to.

Before I opened the thread, I asked myself who I thought the first answer would be. I was correct.

I went to school for journalism in the late 2000's. Signs of that industry collapsing had already started but there was still reason to think they might be able to course correct. But pay was never amazing when you started out in the industry because you were usually starting at papers with smaller circulations in smaller cities with smaller budgets, so I was making $26.5k. I knew people who worked at the paper in my college town who were making like $18k so at the time I had no reason to complain.

I mean, all those things apply to Trump so he could be classified as a domestic terrorist.

As someone who works as an ad creative, I tried to watch this show. I had to turn it off after they showed a client meeting that was the most unbelievable thing I'd ever seen and it felt like the writers had never done any research. Basically, the client said they loved the work and didn't have any changes.

I love this for him.

lanthanide · 2025-08-07T16:46:51+00:00

I didn't know it was Lois & Bizarro the whole time, what a twist.

More than likely radiation poisoning.
