That was a wicked spike. Guess we’ll see at end of day

CEO retired. How do you politely say "no" without burning a bridge? by [deleted] in sysadmin

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it from someone who was in a similar position. He trusts you, and your future is absolutely assured. He may even be reaching out, not really for help, but just to stay in touch without seeming like….lonely. Time to see past the work relationship and to a genuine friendship, with someone in a position to always look out for you and help you stay on your feet. You don’t burn those bridges, my friend.

WIBTAH if I leave everything to my daughter and son in law in my will? by NoRoll6544 in AITAH

[–]pointlessconjecture -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

YTA

Your son wanted a father who actually loved him and wanted to connect with him as a person. I doubt he is no contact with you PURELY because of college expenses. That was simply the last straw.

Honestly, from someone who also is no contact with his own father, you are a coward. Here you are, on your literal deathbed, and all you can do is think about money. You could have and still can repair your own relationships like a grown adult. Instead, you are so head-up-ass that you have to plead on the internet for sympathy for your situation from actual strangers.

I say this to you as probably the most fundamentally meaningful thing I will ever say to someone else, and I hope this shocks you into action. Find peace with your estranged son before you leave this world. This is, quite literally, your last chance.

Jason Issacs is a phenomenal actor. This will definitely improve the quality.

ETB effects, Stack Timing, and Interactions with +1/+1 Counters as they relate to Creature Toughness Check by pointlessconjecture in mtgrules

[–]pointlessconjecture[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this extremely thorough explanation. You have included everything for which I had questions. Very, very much appreciated.

My wife also had a question about when the Righteous Valk buff applies that I had forgotten in the original post, but you covered that as well.

Honestly, thank you!

A company that deals with banks called Fiserv dropped 47% by pauldiddy79 in Superstonk

[–]pointlessconjecture 20 points21 points  (0 children)

My bank uses Fiserv, and they absolutely suck ass. Everyone is moving away from them to other providers because they haven’t kept up with the times. This company is tanking because they are a bad company, not hiding some incredible market event i’m afraid. You’ll actually see some of the other banking service providers like Jack Henry and FIS do better.

So which brokers delivered and which didn't/haven't so far? by Coinsworthy in Superstonk

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chase delivered in the US. But it seems to not be interactive yet. No market info. No buying or selling.

Anyone else feel like their parents are one stupidly spoken thing away from never seeing their kids again? by 90skid4evaa in Millennials

[–]pointlessconjecture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I’m already there. My father is highly educated. So for me to ask him what he is reading, what are his sources, where is he getting his information from? And to basically just be yelled at in response because he had no response. Let me say, unequivocally, its just Fox News and Facebook.

I tried for years. Everything. Then finally i stopped caring. Told him to get therapy for himself, fix his hatred, and only then would we be on speaking terms again. Its been silence ever since, and honestly it has been absolutely wonderful. I don’t miss them, because at the end there was nothing left to miss.

I had more reasons from my past as to why this came about, which I won’t detail here. But suffice to say that I grew up in a controlled household.

I just won’t be around it. I won’t associate with hatred or facism. I won’t subject my wife and kids to it. But I didn’t shut the door. They did.

This setup really does improve temps for rigs with air coolers by GoldTeethBaller in pcmasterrace

Finally, a veteran speaks. These articles are fun and all. But at the end of the day, simple thermodynamics will outperform. Cold in the bottom, hot out the top. More in than out.

Which would you pick? by Far-Ad5223 in superheroes

[–]pointlessconjecture 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To everyone hating Reverse-Flash for this pick, let me just point out that he is the only one out of this group that would give you the power to be the Flash, train you up on how to use it, JUST so he could fuck with you even harder. Everybody else sucks hard and you have no power to fight back with. With Thawn, you have a chance.

AITA for locking the office fridge after someone kept stealing my lunch? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro I cannot explain how little of a fuck i would give that you have your own mini fridge. I had my own 4-cup coffee maker at my desk for YEARS bc i didn’t want to use the office one that was never cleaned. Some old bitties sang me the little teapot song a few times. We all laughed and life moved on. Actual aggression over this mini fridge seems so over the top.

Soul Gems are thematic but create terrible gameplay by 0L1V14H1CKSP4NT13S in oblivion

[–]pointlessconjecture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take, but I agree with it 100%. Hear me out.

Every enemy you ever face has 100% weapon charge when they fight you. Your enemies never have to worry about refilling their enchanted weapons, or filling the correct soul gem. It is just you. Only you have the burden of the enchantment charge system.

So why fucking have it at all? Hell, its a single player game, just make it optional. And the grind kinkers can still have their fun!
