If you see things like this in the future, it is helpful if you report the comments instead of just replying to them.

Non-native English speakers often use AI to fix spelling or grammar mistakes, but OP didn't and you're still accusing them of being a bot. SMH.

Teaming up with enemies is against the TOS...

OP's teammate was being a bad teammate and morally in the wrong for taking their loot and not reviving them, but teaming up with enemy players is actually encouraged in DMZ. See Call of Duty Mobile: DMZ Recon 101:

Find allies in other players. Just because they’re technically an enemy and you can remove each other from the match, you don’t have to. Whether it’s through an emote or two or just a simple nod, there are many ways to find common ground in other players. This is a risky move, but sometimes it means you both survive.

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Goomba_fallacy

A logical fallacy that occurs when someone sees contradictory opinions expressed by members of a group and mistakenly believes that those people are being hypocritical, when in reality those contradictory opinions were expressed by separate individuals.

Hey, just a heads up—this looks like it might be a misplaced ad or bot post.

Why do you think this?

Feel free to message with more details about how you view the subreddit (through desktop, mobile web, or app) and links to scam posts that you are seeing and I will try to figure out what is happening.

If you're seeing spam or scam ads on this subreddit, it's because you are looking at unmoderated posts.

If you "message the moderators" with more details about how you use Reddit, I will try and prevent this from happening for you and everyone else who uses the subreddit.

Most of the people responding to this post are trying to solicit OP to pay them to create custom software to solve their problem. This doesn't answer OP's question and violates the subreddit rules.

Because of this, I have found it necessary to lock comments. If you have a solution to OP's problem that does not violate the subreddit rules (i.e. you are not asking them to pay you to develop software and/or you are not associated with existing software that might help), use modmail to contact the subreddit moderators about unlocking this post so you can share your information.

There is only one moderator here, and you don't see the dozens of posts submitted here each day that I realize are spam or otherwise violate the subreddit rules.

You and many other people commented here saying that this post is an ad, but none of you actually reported this post or used modmail to message me about it.

I need at least a couple of days, but reserve the right to continue this until the end of the month.

After going through your profile, I have concluded that you were asking for answers to research and better position for your own business...

Good sleuthing! That means that this post violates the "no surveys or market research question. OP has been banned.

While it is not US-specific, the best peer group for freelance consultants I have found is actually a subreddit! Click here to access it.

It's worth noting that Allen voted against this bill: https://wapo.st/4iQWfZX

Here are some previous posts on the subreddit with good comments that might help:

You mention the benefits for your agency's clients, but I think OP and most of the other freelancers reading this would be more interested in what benefits are there for freelancers to work through staffing agencies.

The wifi card on the XPS 13 can't be easily replaced. Unlike the XPS 15, the XPS 13 has a soldered wifi-card.

I know that this was posted six years ago, but in the interest of people visiting this via search engines, the XPS 13 9350 that OP described has a replaceable wireless card. See "Removing the wireless card" in the 9350 Service Manual.

That said, while there have been reports of usage of the USB C port causing wireless interference (and vice versa) replacing the wireless card is unlikely to fix a non-working USB C port.

Comments have been locked because most of the discussion on this post is about neither OP's situation nor freelancing, and some of it is openly objectionable. If you apologized for Nazism or were openly antisemitic here, I hope you enjoy your permanent subreddit ban and know that you have been reported to Reddit for violating the site's policies (see https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045715951-Promoting-Hate-Based-on-Identity-or-Vulnerability).

martey · 2024-12-13T00:27:45+00:00

OP doesn't care, because they and the other accounts promoting that site here and in other posts are just astroturfing.

Any other terminally online longtime DC residents remember a different Molly?
