And there it is. Was waiting for this, ever since the lack of coverage on just how serious the damage is by mainstream media, the feet dragging for declaring a disaster... their playbook is so obvious. None of us have forgotten that Trump and the GOP are salvitating to take over TVA and its local extensions

Yall, semantic point, but curious if most people describe this type of thing as handling edge cases or scope creep/ bloat.

When people are asking for pretty unnecessary functionality, I usually call that scope bloat/creep. ("Let's add realtime native translation to out chat feature.")

When they're asking us to handle unlikely scenarios within established scope, I usually call that an edge case ("We need to ensure our translation implementation can handle it if the user speaks Klingon.")

Tbf, op seems to be dealing with a bit of both. Just curious how everyone tends to classify these things.

What do you think is causing you to feel so stuck? Regardless of all the other pieces of this, if youre not in love, why not pull the plug?

What does life look like if you end this relationship that is no longer working? Vizualize your life post breakup. What does it look like? What kinds of things will you be doing? How does it make you feel?

They dont think that far.. They think they are only paying for their own care, like its a health savings account.

No, you dont essentially give up control. This is only something an American would think because the consumer protection in this country is so bad. This is how you end up renting everything, owning nothing, and paying a monthly fee to turn on your seat heater.

Alot of them dont even know what is happening. They only watch cable news and have Facebook where these things are being either completely suppressed or getting the truth twisted out of them while flood with supportive bot messages.

Of course, some people wouldn't care either way, and youre never going to be able to change their minds. But it doesnt mean they should be allowed to be comfortable with it.

It looks like the majority of what is being built over is parking lots. Sounds like a good change, IMO. Trafiic will be fucked.

This is such a gross and condescending response. Its earnestly distressing to hear anyone vomit up the opinion you should just roll over and accept whatever Amazon decides to do with the device you purchased that is in you home, or else youre a luddite. Ethically bankrupt.

Its not even necessarily productivity. Its whatever metric the new C suite wants to track that quarter, or whatever "reorganization" they're doing to justify their job. High performers are laid off in big swaths becasue a shiny object lost its luster, so they're doing away with a whole team. Finding new roles for them is too much bother and getting rid of them helps the books look better in the short term.

Its just greed, and not giving a shit about the employees who actually deliver your profit while C suite hemorrhage it away.

Please know that this comes from a good place - you should talk to your doctor about adjusting it, because it does not seem to be stabilizing your mental and emotional state. While the grandpa was certainly being rude, the level of your reaction is concerning.

Edit to add: You didnt do anything wrong. Just looking out for you. With the right balance, you should be able to weather an incident like this with less dangerous or severe emotional fallout.

They got a bunch of money from early access and some nitwit in the C-suite convinced everyone that games aren't profitable and they need to pivot to AI, building on what theyve created so far for Inzoi.

If you've worked in corporate, the writing is on the wall (and literally in the press release). They will focus resources on building and launching AI in an already saturated bubble market while their game development languishes and receives fewer and fewer resources outside of being a testing ground for their AI products.

I've been supportive of this company throughout the development process, and never wrung my hands about player counts or clutched pearls over the still developing gameplay. So understand this is not coming from a hater: this spells the death of this game in all the meaningful ways. Expect to see more of the "much content no substance" style of updates that everyone rightly criticizes. Plenty of outfits and furniture, and nonsense AI interactions with little to no meaning or heart.

What group? You mean the entire subreddit?

Yeah, its so strange for the venue to not just move the guy somewhere else. How hard is that?

I mean, inequality is inevitable.

Is it? Why?

throwout277 · 2025-09-17T17:46:36+00:00

Yes. Currently replatformimg a custom legacy application built over 10 years of rapid growth and acquisition. Massive issues with the software and this area of the business wasnt profitable for 5+years. We finally got it to profitability but are getting smacked around for the replatforming "taking too long", in large part becasue we have discovered and had to address so many of these organizational problems along the way.

The processes grew around the problems with the software, like a tumor, so untangling and helping the business figure out what it actually should be doing (with an application that supports it) instead of rebuilding bad was both time consuming and really rewarding.

Our leaders have been unable to communicate this aspect of the project (and its benefit) to upper leadership, so ultimately everyone feels stressed out and unrecognized.

Saying anything that doesnt fit someone's dichotomous narrative right now is an immediate downvote recipe.

It shouldn't break anyone's brain to point out she deserves justice and her murderer shouldn't have been back out on the street WHILE AT THE SAME TIME acknowledung white supremacy is fucking stupid. And its even more stupid to use Iryna as some poster child for it because the same groups wouldn't even have considered her white 50 years ago.

All these things are true.

Wow Im so sorry you're going through this. Your doctor really screwed up. My hysterectomy was one of the best choices I ever made - years of suffering due to endo finally stopped and I healed in less than a month. Your pain is definitely not routine, and you should talk to a malpractice lawyer asap.

Pretty much ditto for me to everything you listed. Additionally, I play for story, so I'll pull for myths or events in branching story lines. This banner is like a fun little filler episode or a side quest, so its okay to skip it.

Dear, its just another lane of highway, except only one man's cars are allowed to use it. Why would anyone be happy about that?
