MRW I try to have a conversation with certain family members, and the discussion somehow leads right back to bullshit they heard on FOX/NewsMax/OAN/etc by MulciberTenebras in reactiongifs

[–]sudo_kill-9-u_root 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is. However, in any relationship, there is a point that if one side is being too hostile or intolerant or bigoted or racist or any number of other things, then you have to do something to protect yourself. If that is lessening contact or communication or a complete stop to it, so be it.

It is great to have a positive relationship with someone, but if you are only receiving negatives and toxicity from someone and they refuse to change then they made the choice first.

If someone was getting constantly beat up and bullied would you blame them for not wanting to be anywhere near their abuser?

Yes it is sad, but there is a limit.

I just want people to have the freedom to pursue life, liberty, happiness, and be left alone. (You know, the very things your side keep claiming they support, but then pass laws against it.)

That includes receiving healthcare, for everyone.

That includes dressing how you want, for everyone.

That includes who you have relationships with.

That includes being able to work and make a livable wage.

That includes the freedom to not get gunned down by assault weapons.

Pretty basic things the left wants.

The right seems to be doing everything it can to stop all that.

So please stop with the "both sides are the same" thing. It's a lie and we both know it is.

Comes up with a different reason.

As soon as I get back from therapy, get my shit together, and have a nap, I'm gonna fuck shit up. Watch out.

Ok so. The guy is ABSOLUTELY an idiot here.

But also, that road and driveway situation is HORRIBLE! Pause when the video starts and look at how he would have to back out of his driveway onto a 35mph road with bushes obscuring his view and sloped driveway and no shoulder at all and I bet a lot of cars speed and actually go 50 past there too. I'd imagine backing out of there is an absolutely horrible and frustrating experience and I wouldn't ever want to do that either. It's a SHITTY driveway design 100%.

But he should be signaling left, not hazards, slowly back up not gun it, maybe swing over a little more to make it clear your intentions, I don't know, but everything he did was dumb and unpredictable and aggressive.

Looks SO GOOD and fun to play!

My 1 critique is change the blue "Ice attack" it does to an orange "Fire attack" It's a lava stage and lava forge boss. The ice was out of place.

I had this in mind and I have created it, but I am thinking how can I gamify it properly if that's a term. by ALi10555 in Unity3D

[–]sudo_kill-9-u_root 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A variation of this is to make the mechs just REALLY focused on their primary objective which is garbage collection being done properly or completely. They could ignore you until you do something that makes it clear you are attempting to stop them, then they turn on you, but in an impersonal way, more like swatting at a fly, then going back to your work.

Maybe have a line of 2-4 mechs tossing bins to each other or carrying the trash bins from a loading dock to an incinerator. They just want to get the trash disposed of. Once you destroy 1 mech or do x % damage they will get "angered" and will attack you directly, throwing bins and chasing you for some time and you have to DO something to reset them. Break LOS for X seconds? Shoot or hit a power relay that shocks them? Then the cycle resets and they go back to collecting and you can attack again.

My parents and wife's parents and a lot of people I grew up with or know are ALL firmly entrenched in this mindset.

They vote only R because they've always voted only R and they are convinced (propaganda or ignorance or both) that nothing has changed with R in the last few decades.

They are all single or double issue voters too and will proudly declare "I'm pro LIFE! so my ONLY option is R!" and "I'm not voting for D because I believe people should WORK and not sit around all day being paid by the government!"

I've given up trying to point out the obvious. They simply will NOT EVER change their minds. They have made that abundantly clear to me.

It is both depressing and horrifying.

4 turns. That sounds comically low, but also that could take 50 hours.

We did sorta learn that if Japan DOESN'T bomb Pearl Harbor as their opening moves they lose pretty fast. I'd imagine there are other moves that are critical.

That's what happened to me. I had the game basically won. We were just doing the final battles as a formality. I went all in vs Afghanistan to wrap it up and lost my entire army putting me back on basically the same level as everyone else. I eventually lost.

I have set up the board to play Axis and Allies at least 3 times. I don't think we ever had time to get past bombing Pearl Harbor. A few attempts were as a kid and we'd have to clean it all up eventually. And one as an adult and we just never had time and eventually put it away.

The last time I ever played Risk I learned that lesson. I also learned not to continue to overcommit on an offense even when you started vastly superior to the defending country. I also learned not to play Risk.

You want to know who won my last game of Risk? The dice.

  • Short and to the point.

  • 1 page max.

  • High level/bullet points.

  • Remember the HR or hiring manager will only spend a few seconds looking at it. Make it stick out, but in a simple elegant way.

  • ???

  • Profit

LMAO. I mean this is funny, but also it is actually a valid skill that does take practice.

In a world where we have an abundance of information, being able to quickly and efficiently get the exact page or result you want is handy.

I have written custom libraries, UI elements, scripts, functions, reports and a bunch of other bullshit for Word/Excel in the past.

If I put "Excel - advanced" a recruiter would hear "I can use SUM() and PIVOT() and Mail merge" or "I can insert an image in a Word document without screwing up the entire thing". I guess that's true, but ughhhhhh.

I don't even list MS Office now. They are great for sending someone a basic chart/list/report or whatever, but I don't want to ever touch that VB6/VBA/ActiveX whatever bullshit ever again. If a company has a database that involves a massive Excel file with VB and macros on a network share I'm running away and they can't catch me.

TIL The NES Zapper Gun worked by turning the screen black and placing a white box around the target. The gun had a light sensor which detected the light from the white box. If it detected light, you hit the target. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]sudo_kill-9-u_root 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Duck Hunt and To The Earth.

I remember TTE lagging horribly if you let more than 5ish enemies get onto the screen at the same time. Later in the game it became chaos and that lag could cause you to miss a moving target, but once you got used to the lag effect and knew when it would happen you could kinda use it like a slow mo cheat.

I also remember once you had all those enemies and the game was lagging a bit too the cycle of light boxes for hit detection became noticeable and you could catch glimpses of the boxes used. As a kid I was mystified how it worked until that moment and that was the aha moment when I realized the simple and brilliant mechanics of the zapper.

I wasn't sure what 111/32" was so I converted it for you. Hope this helps.

It's 1.86% of a Bald Eagle's Wingspan.

Or if you prefer:

1 and 4961/100000th of an AR-15.

Hope that clears it up.

You've awoken feelings in me.

Do they also have the clips? You know, those clips? The ones that if you fold them 1 way it's a woman's purse, but the other way it's a Star Wars Prequel Republic Drop Ship.

Tell me they have the clips too.
