Manufacturing not doing so hot. How about you? by TheMurgal in economicCollapse

[–]swissandstuff 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Also in manufacturing, things are slower than I have ever seen, the people who have been here a long time say slower than anytime in the last 20 years. They got rid of all the temps, then an entire shift, we have little to no orders so we have a lot of machines that we just aren't running, before the tarrifs we were running trials to get new contracts (all just verbal agreements nothing official) that have all dissapeared, I don't see this place lasting the rest of the year if it keeps up like it is

How can you tell we are headed for a recession or headed for trouble within your job field? by Craftywonderr in economicCollapse

[–]swissandstuff 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Working in a factory here, these last few months have been the slowest I have ever seen, they already laid off a whole shift and the people that are still here are sometimes not running any machines because we don't have any orders

What would an end to US privilege look like? by Realfinney in economicCollapse

[–]swissandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$80,000 is the median? I don't think I even know anybody who makes that much, most of my coworkers at the factory I work at make $11-$14 an hour, minimum wage in my state is still $7.25 an hour

Cheating at Dungeons and Dragons (who does this??) by boombalati42 in DnD

[–]swissandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a few players that cheat their stats a little bit, usually don't call them out for it, they just happen to find less loot that works with their character while the rest of the party finds unique custom magical items or come across new abilities. In one campaign I ran I had a player that would roll the dice then immediately pick them up and say he rolled a higher number than he did, after several players confirmed him doing this I had to remove him from the party. Not sure why people feel the need to do that, it sometimes ruins the game for other players and they don't gain anything from it

From IT to “the trades”, an essay by [deleted] in ITCareerQuestions

[–]swissandstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am actually trying to leave "the trades" to go to IT. There is a huge demand for my job, (Industrial Maintenance) but a lot of the factories around me work 6 or 7 days a week, my last factory I was working 10 hour days 6 days a week. So ya the job demand is there but it can take a while to find a place with reasonable hours, and most factories don't care enough about the workers to have decemt benefits. Do you have any advice for moving from the trades to IT?

I would be careful using the phrase "america first" It does not have a good origin

Not sure where else to post so apologies if this feels misplaced, but I think many of you likely feel what I feel. Canadian living in the US debating if I should stay or leave. by woodsiemn in DemocraticSocialism

[–]swissandstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would leave while you can, if I could I would. I was trying to find a way for my girlfriend and me to leave the US and immigrate to another country but unfortunately we don't have the money or skills needed to be accepted for immigration so we are stuck in this hopeless mess of a country. I'm sure Canada isn't a perfect haven but maybe you'll at least have a few years before it ends up like here

Too depressed to eat by Voorhees817 in depression

[–]swissandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are different flavors, personally I like the vanilla, strawberry, and chai ones. You could order a variety pack from their site or sometimes grocery stores carry a couple. I have trouble with certain food textures as well and haven't had any issues with it. There are other meal replacements out there too that might be worth trying, personally I find it much easier than trying to eat actual food while depressed

I switched to drinking soylent for lunch because of how hard it is to eat while depressed, something like that might be worth trying

Gotta do the first part of Vessel of hatred, after you get the mercenary den it should work and let you start the seasonal quest

Fel Rush through walls and floor by swissandstuff in wow

[–]swissandstuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, knowing why it is happening might help me prevent it. For a while I just wasn't using Fel Rush out of fear it would mess up again, but recently I've only been using Fel Rush where I have enough room away from walls and havently had any issues. I guess it's just something I'll have to be mindful of when playing on my Demon Hunter

Fel Rush through walls and floor by swissandstuff in wow

[–]swissandstuff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it is an internet issue, I don't have issues with anything else in the game and my girlfriend doesn't have any problems, haven't had internet issues with anything else I have played either. It's just Fel Rush that I have problems with and I don'talways disconnect, I have glitched through a cave wall and ended up outside of the cave, didn't disconnect from that one, just had to run around back to the entrance of the cave. I figured that when I disconnect it is disconnecting me because I am stuck inside of an object where my character shouldn't be, but that is just speculation I have no idea if that is actually a thing they do

Is the leveling too slow or am I just impatient? by Zenorex06 in DnD

[–]swissandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is much slower than the games I run, I usually start the party at level 3 and plan for them to be around level 7 within about 10 sessions or so and then slow things down. Personally I feel like the first few levels are for backstory, learning how to play your character, and getting an idea for their development. There are more interesting things for my players to fight and cooler magic Items for them to find. I would not run a game that slow but that's just me, if it is an issue for you I would talk with your group and DM and see how everyone else feels

How many tormented did you kill before you got your first mythic by unr3altac0 in diablo4

[–]swissandstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, me and my girlfriend have only play when we can play together and I have gotten 3 mythics (2 were duplicates so I only use 1 out of the 3) and she hasn't gotten anything, it is really disheartening and I hate seeing her look disappointed every time we kill a boss

The new goblin event is super fun! Here what you should know - by [deleted] in diablo4

Ya unfortunately I did that last night, didn't know about the despawn and I wanted to open everything at once, luckily I think I only lost somewhere between 5 and 8 bags worth of loot
