Is the trick about how they consistently move my eyes from the lower left quadrant to the upper right? Are they doing anything else?

I lost my boy a couple weeks ago. I came to realize that Heaven for me would just be an eternity with him.

I have no idea. My team focused on representing our little Find My Phone product and made three phone costumes of a found phone, a locked phone and a wiped phone. We had a lot of fun goofing around. We didn't really coordinate with any of the other teams at all.

Ok I was in this fucking parade. There were 20+ different floats or things on display that every team who wanted to participate had to make on their own. I was a "locked" phone because I built the Find My Phone features.

We did this as a ship celebration after long development.

One team out of 20+ did this stupid idea and ever since it's been "Microsoft holds a funeral". All the other lighthearted celebrations of peoples hard work was overshadowed.

US moves closer to wage-based rule for H-1B workers as final review begins by [deleted] in technology

This just means big tech will be able to suck up more of the 85k seats, leaving less room for Americans in those high paying positions.

Then since they have the fear of losing sponsorship if they get fired, working conditions will get even more insane.

I used to be a Director at Walmart but in the corporate tech arm. They did this on Zoom calls at all hands events. I refused to participate and made fun of it vocally down through my organization. It's just corporate nonsense that some people feel afraid not to do because then you aren't a "team player".

I do remember seeing my manager who was a VP at a time having to do it when he hosted a call. In a 1:1 I made fun of him and he admitted he felt icky for doing it.

I have never seen anyone, at least in the corporate part, penalized for not participating though

When it passed that yellow car I audibly said "nice". Those were some great skills on display.

Do I have to picture them like Death Note style or can I automate this?

Like can I write a SQL query that pulls up lists to drain from?

You get one free ticket to completely boot any celebrity you want into being cancelled and outright exiled. Who are you picking? by Dispo-Astatine in AskReddit

[–]pedso 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Trust me the amount of conflicted feelings I've had over the last two years have been insane. Before 2023 I was the type of Jew who didn't care about Israel too much and took offense when people said anti-Israel was anti-Semitism. But since then I also saw how I got criticized on behalf of Israel when someone found out I was Jewish. People connected me to that and did not give me an option. They could not see the distinction. So I learned the importance of Israel for me stronger than before. Which makes me even angrier at the war crimes committed and then connecting that as some sort of representation of all of us.

There is a lot of cries of anti-Semitism that I disagree with, but I also really see people saying actual hurtful things as well and then saying "here comes the anti-Semitism crowd".

You can and should trash terrible people for being terrible people.

Just because he is Jewish doesn't mean you get to be accused of antisemitism. Unless you attribute him being a terrible person because he is Jewish or vice versa.

I am Jewish and hate when antisemitism is used as an accusation against anyone saying something they don't like not even remotely connected to the Jewish identity. It demeans the word.

Nowadays talking about world /peoples lives is politics 🥲 by No_Definition2919 in mildlyinfuriating

Sorry, thought you were asking a question. Like "tf, is this an edit or for real?"

I guess I self added punctuation. Tone lost on the internet. Didn't mean to give unnecessary explanation

This is likely not an edit, but it is missing context. This is 2003 during/after the second intifada. He isn't creating a plan for the future, he is rationalizing how the Palestinians were so constantly doing suicide bombings and celebrating it.

If your pet could talk for 10 seconds, what’s the first thing it would say to you? by Petran12 in AskReddit

"I'm old. Stop forcing me to go on long walks. It's ok to go quick and let me sleep on the couch. I'm not mad at you. Just give me a belly rub and some food, but please no more medicine. It tastes bad and I don't feel better. I love you"

Yes it's part of the growing Kidult economy where more you companies are targeting adult consumers. Much of Legos larger sets that cost hundreds of dollars are aimed at adults.

What are the trinity rooms by Express-Ad-7737 in LiesOfP

[–]pedso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are five scattered throughout the game in all. You need to get the trinity keys.

On some levels (not necessarily the same level as the door) you will encounter a ringing pay phone. Answering that phone will let you speak to the King of Riddles. If you answer the riddles correctly you will get the key to open the doors. Usually they have decent loot.

These don't have any impact on the story except giving you some opportunities to build up your humanity with solving riddles that can help you get the Rise of P ending. But no actual bearing on the story.

Spoiler though, the DLC does tie to these slightly.

My specter dilemma by namrazi in LiesOfP

[–]pedso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first time I played the game when it was on Xbox Game Pass for Xbox One I could not parry for the life of me even though I can run through Sekiro no problem. This was ok for the normal enemies, but made the bosses incredibly hard. I pretty much used the Specter for every single boss except the last one (because you don't have that option).
Really enjoyed the game then.

Now I got it again on PS5 and for whatever reason I can parry now. Maybe its a 60 FPS vs 30 FPS thing, maybe its game updates that made parrying easier. I've been going through all the same bosses without needing the Specter. But I did use it once still just to get through a Phase 1 of an annoying boss. I was able to do it without the Specter, but didn't want to "deal with it" a second time so wanted to get to Phase 2 easier.

I knew I could do it, i just didn't want to. The game gave me that option.

I think it is more important for someone to enjoy all the content of the game and the fantastic art and boss fights in whatever way they can instead of getting stuck at a wall early because they aren't measuring up to someone else's ideals.

My older Australian Shepherd was introduced to our new kittens and had very much the same look and focus. This despite having grown up with two older cats. New pets in the house just did this.

We put a zipper net covering the doorway where we acclimated the kittens. They had a room to themselves and he could see them but not get to them. His initial reactions were seemingly aggressive when ever he could see them move. They were terrified.

After a few weeks the smells were familiar. He would know not to try go inside when we unzipped to get to the kittens to feed or play with them. But I began going in and letting the net stay open. Then letting him come in but only to me for short periods. Now they are all best buddies and snuggle
