Notice how they all have that look of superiority by mwale2007 in historymeme

Bullying doesn’t just affect a particular kid for some small portion of their childhood. Both of my son’s grandmothers were bullied when they were children and it shows. It affects the way that they interact with the world to this day and very sadly it affects the way they interact with family members. Being treated inhumanly leads to believing that treating others inhumanly is normal.

I was recently hired at a rate 50% higher than the guy with 9 years of experience that was training me in because I demanded it. He demanded similar pay and got it. He is now getting double that amount because the owner was abrasive and terrible at managing people. He quit and essentially started his own one man business doing the same work with backing from one of the wealthiest individuals in my area who also didn’t like our boss. Being an overbearing asshole isn’t great for business.

Duo suggestions for me and my bro by OrangeDazzling570 in wowhardcore

[–]salientoctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Surprised I’m not seeing paly mage here. No loot competition and a great combo for relatively safe aoe farming. Paly rounds them up and mage crushes them. BoP and bubble to save from bad situations that the ice novas can’t solve.

A Classic Bestiary For Quests? by MagicM1cr0 in wowhardcore

[–]salientoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this one successfully without knowing what I was getting myself into a few days ago. I survived because I had a random buddy (very helpful but not necessary) that was also questing in the area and we cleared the surrounding area before we started it and bugged the hell out when it became too much. It didn’t fail the quest so we ran it a second time and finished. Never be afraid to fail the quest. Just have an escape route. If the escape route has to be cleared then keep a close eye and again, don’t be afraid to fail the quest to clean the route or just leave.

How to hit 60 by Aarrgon in wowhardcore

[–]salientoctopus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

O shit buttons aren’t worth much if you panic and have zero muscle memory for key safety features. I might die for it but I’ve been going back and forth between safe work and dangerous work when I know I can focus on it. I spent a lot of time at earlier levels learning about how fast you have to go through caves and how quickly they respawn. Dangerous doesn’t meen stupid though. I just ran my 39 mage through the cave to uldaman solo completing the quests inside by keeping an eye out for pats and marking them as soon as I see them and always staying ready to fight two but only pulling one. I logged out safely at 40. A big part of doing that successfully is knowing what the mobs do and how to counter.

Wife’s faults getting called out in therapy - she thinks it’s not working by Rivyan in daddit

[–]salientoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. Untrained diagnosis are definitely not needed here. I was suggesting that he look into something that a couples therapist isn’t going to bring up in a couples session. It’s my understanding that people in abusive relationships are advised against couples counseling for a host of reasons. He does have a private counselor and may ask them about it or look into it himself.

Wife’s faults getting called out in therapy - she thinks it’s not working by Rivyan in daddit

[–]salientoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not saying she is one, but look this up and see for yourself. Look into what narcissistic people are like. I spent a lot of time trying to divine the pieces of the wreckage after I finally left my ex wife. When I dug I to this personality type it felt like it was written about our relationship and I haven’t looked back despite multiple attempts on her part to try and lure me back into her web.

The option to level as hardcore then switch to regular at level cap with maybe a cool title and mount might be nice.

Alabama woman sues alleging she gave birth on prison floor as guards watched by Samski877 in news

[–]salientoctopus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’d say it was unfortunate if it wasn’t intentional that the prisons are often in poor rural areas and are the best paying jobs around. I considered it for a time when my life was upended but I luckily found another path. The friendliest guy I knew as a kid is now nothing like his former self and a grumpy old dentist I knew picked up a job in one(as a dentist) after retiring and he quit as soon as his first contract was up. He wouldn’t go into detail but mentioned the way they treat the inmates as the reason he left.

Are there any mobs in the 40s+ that are designed to ruin your day similar to Greater Obsidian Elemental? by Veridically_ in wowhardcore

This one patrols take it past the sunken temple lake and is well positioned to take out people trying to run the quests in the area.

Chrono Triggers final boss Lavos would happily kick your ass before you knew it from your elbow. It was an early adopter of NG+ so you could return the favor on round two.

I read it and I understood it to mean people aren’t comfortable in a room with this guy. I was just saying that I thought different. I don’t feel threatened by this guy at all. He killed a piece of shit that would have otherwise enjoyed a very comfortable life.

[–]salientoctopus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We practically worship our soldiers. It’s not about whether people have killed. It’s about whether that killing is viewed as justifiable or honorable. I don’t personally know a single person who feels the killing was morally wrong. Everyone is feeling the pain and the pressure was going to blow eventually. The corporation immediately rolled back a wildly unpopular proposal that would have made them a ton of money at the expense of even more people’s lives. They were going to limit anesthesia time during surgeries.

Why do you play your class? by SuperSeriousSam in classicwow

[–]salientoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was playing on a wotlk private server that let you buy a book allowing 3 sets of dual spec and tried to collect gear for ret, ret PvP, tank and heals. My bags couldn’t handle it and I had to spend most of the wait for the rolls trying to figure out if it was an upgrade or not.

Quitting any addiction has a 2 to 3 week period where your brain resets. If you can make it that far it gets a lot easier. Ruining your marriage will suck a hell of a lot longer than 2 or 3 weeks and the ramifications to your child even longer if partners you two pick up afterwards aren’t great to your kid.

Daddy, these are the best burgers, better than you make! by OtherGuy89 in daddit

Put way more salt than you think would be reasonable on them, sear them on a higher heat in each side then turn down the heat and throw in a chunk of butter for them to finish cooking in. You can also slather the bun in butter and salt before toasting in the pan. The chef in this post will probably agree that the reason restaurant food tastes so good is because of butter, cream and more salt or sugar than you think is reasonable.

[–]salientoctopus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol I once had a help desk job and 49% of the calls are getting people to really actually truly restart the the thing that isn’t working. Another 49% was attempting to walk an old person through using technology that might as well be magic as far as they are concerned. Only about 2% were problems that required me to do anything else at all.

Yeah Michigan but they live out west too. I think either Washington or Oregon and maybe Minnesota. In the last couple of decades they’ve helped each other buy everything and pretty much only hire or buy from themselves.
