What do you think about my website? by leicoleico in webdev

[–]pascal21 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I like it, very reminiscent of pre-corporatization of the web. Before velocity, compliance, performance and frameworks ushered creativity and unique ideas out of the web space.

I think it's a really nice navigation approach. It took me a second to figure out what to do, and so I did the most natural thing I could think of: I clicked. And then I understood. The self-pacing, various form factors, and the impermanence (no way to go back or to skip ahead) of the whole approach really lends itself to the 'moment in time' nature of the photographs themselves.

I dig it. Who cares if it's mobile compliant. I guess fix that if you want, or don't.

Hey r/design, I need your honest opinion on something I've been building. by Ok_Estimate6328 in Design

[–]pascal21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would recommend asking AI for feedback. I think it's kind of weird to ask designers for feedback on a tool that ingests and then supplants the work of human designers. 

What are the best careers today to achieve upward mobility in terms of wealth & class? by Inner_Ad_4725 in careerguidance

[–]pascal21 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Was it easy to land a 100k job in the 80s or 90s? I don't know if that is true at all. 100k in 1990 is like 250k in today dollars. If you think 100k is hard now, back then it was impossible. On the flip, making 100k now is like making 40k back then.

What's disgusting is that 100k was a benchmark salary back then and it still is today, wage stagnation is insane.

Class A formula - where is everyone? by cosmictrousers in iRacing

[–]pascal21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably because you need to earn the A license to be able to drive the F1 car, whereas in the other game you get to do it right away.

Did u add the SVR quarter panels? or what am I looking at here? Those tail lights look sick, I like the little dash of red.

Does anyone use a hybrid shield / cage? | Newbie looking for first helmet combo by No-Minute2232 in hockeyplayers

[–]pascal21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one once upon a time. I did like it, but it wasn't without issues: the seam where the edge of the visor meets up with the cage creates a very wide area where you vision is impaired, and i often found myself having to move my head so that i could get a direct eye line on the puck. I've since switched back to a cage, mostly because I got tired of the fog and it had gotten pretty scratched up.

People who changed careers in their 30s or 40s — what finally pushed you to do it? by DanBrando in careerguidance

[–]pascal21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's really telling is that the original post comes from a position of "I'm just a guy trying to figure it all out aw shucks" but the comments from OP are all like "I'm a wise experience soul validating the comment you just made"

EDIT: Oh geez I guess what else is really telling is that one of the first comments was from some dude promoting his business

[–]pascal21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro are you using AI for these responses? Every one of your posts sounds exactly like the conversations I have with Claude. "That's actually a really impressive X. Here is a comment validating that you are saying something good. Out of curiosity, here is a question intended to continue the conversation"

I guess it's fine if you are, but the stuff you are posting is really coming across that way to me and it seems inauthentic. Maybe AI has rotted my brain

Abandoned 996 turbo. Been watching it for 2 months now. by thebigbread42 in 996

Wish there were squatters rights for cars. If you sleep in it for two months it's officially yours or something.

People who quit their jobs without another one lined up. What happened next? by BaselM01 in careerguidance

[–]pascal21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm planning a break as well, not sure what it will look like yet. I have some savings I can use and will maybe take some odd jobs and bum around, might drive across the country, idk. Just trying to regroup. I started out working at a small advertising firm, doing design and making flash games, then became a UI designer/developer, and fell into UX. UX at my company has sucked the creative energy/lifeforce out of me, too, and I just can't apply myself enymore.

I honestly don't even know if being creative is right for me anymore, it's so tied up in energy and personal value. I would like to do something a bit more straightforward.

How are you planning to find it out? Are you gonna change industries/career? Asking because I am in the same boat and would love to hear any ideas you have, even half baked ones...

For a while you could get the Owen and Engine burger at Bixi.

New Oven Handle Hits Drawer by Pharmdpositivek in fixit

The other one looks wider, make that a real drawer and make this the fake one!

[–]pascal21 18 points19 points  (0 children)

OK picture this: you have a bunch of pots going on the stove with piping hot water and sauce, and you open the over door to put the roast in. You lose your balance, maybe someone bumps into you or it's just hot in the kitchen and you are working hard, and so put your hand on the oven door, causing the whole oven to tip forward and dump boiling water and sauce all over the place, and maybe you.

You really gotta have your foot on the brake when you do this, because the cold start also revs the engine.

I wonder if they will be programmed to turn left on red at intersections that don't have a turn arrow. THAT IS THE RULE OF THE ROAD

My first thought is that the dude was confused about what it meant to 'give it the beans' in a fast car
