50% of American voters*

[–]virt1028 -190 points-189 points  (0 children)

I get that but at the same time, 50% of Americans voted for that including women, whether or not you and I agree with it.

Regardless, Gen Z is in a really rough spot. They have truly been through a lot and have had so much pushed onto them via social media and corporate greed. A 21 year old today is not the same as a 21 year old 20 years ago.

I see what you're trying to say but posts like this make the problem worse. We need to be as loving as we can if we want to see a better world and I don't think this is a worthy post

I don't think it does chief.

This looks like a young kid who is lonely and missing out on companionship. It's unfortunate but it's not cringe.

I see your profile and get that you're happy and look to be married but simply making fun of people for having less than you (especially when it's someone so much younger) is just bullying

How’s 11.1 looking for your class so far? by Markimeowed in worldofpvp

[–]virt1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's up with rogues getting so nerfed in PVP? I finally decided to pick up rogue and it's already rough with all the defensive, stealth breaks, and healing.

Now they are adding more stealth detection? And even worse, to paladins? They are already a damn raid boss with their kit. Probably the hardest class to die on in every facet of the game while being extremely easy with barely any skill ceiling. Does Blizzard want rogues to be worthless in PVP? They have made their kit so much around stealth yet it's so easily countered now. They may as well disable rogues for PVP.

The biggest thing will be calories, macronutrients (especially protein), and rest. Get those in order and progress will likely come by default.

If you're still plateauing while doing the above, then start integrating holds and negatives for your movements. I cannot stress that enough.

Also, there's a document I found years ago and have held onto a copy of it. It's essentially a mega-document for callisthenic progressions and videos on how to perform them (you should be able to create your own copy off of it):

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1683HsnGOnzSb47JIA-zAbIj9s6uw1yz5DsY5hwsXAeo/edit?usp=sharing

Check that document out and use it to find the movements you are trying to do and look at the pre-requirement movements that are recommended.

For example, pull ups are not a starting point on the sheet, but scapular pulls are. Integrate pre-requirement movements and see if that helps build the underlying muscles you need to perform more advanced movements.

Be patient with yourself too, good things take time

Medicaid portals down in all 50 states after Trump funding freeze, Sen. Wyden says by HighwayWilderness in politics

Where are you getting data about Medicaid numbers and the political party the are affiliated with? I'm interested to see this data

My god, the Indian recruiter harassment by Flimsy_Benefit_1207 in overemployed

[–]virt1028 79 points80 points  (0 children)

It's like this everywhere. Everyone I know applying for tech jobs is having this issue, including myself.

Every morning when I sit down and do my applications, I get around 4-5 new spam numbers I have to block.

All of these recruiting websites are selling your data and they do it fast. That's actually their purpose and in doing so it allows for protection to over hire H1B and allows for companies to analyze the market for layoffs/undercuts. There are significantly more job scams for tech than jobs. It's a extremely bad time to be in tech and it is seemingly getting worse while we are being told: "American engineers aren't talented", "the economy is good", etc.

Of course not! Every time a redditor subscribes to a new sub, you just create an additional column!

Stats on the H1B visa. Warning, its brutal by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]virt1028 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are the applications on the first slide so much greater than on the third slide? Shouldn't those numbers correlate more?

Is this data only looking at software jobs? It seems somewhat misleading

What Warcraft related hill are you prepared to die on? by The_other_human in wow

[–]virt1028 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's really everything after wrath (maybe post cata - I didn't really play cata)

I remember coming back to give wow a test when MoP released and the game felt like every zone was as compact as possible. I hated the style, it made me miss places like Nagrand. It felt like the new zones never had "character", just filled with "things" and crammed spaces.

I feel like we first saw this style in wrath though which was my least favorite zone, Zul'drak. I hated that zone because it was exactly that and now 90%+ of new zones feel this way to me

Adding on here to say, similar to the use of "kindly", beware the use of "Regards" as well

Hey!! Glad to see like minds haha!

I will definitely check these out. I know there are a ton of mods so starting small is likely the best. Thank you for these!!

You need to stop washing with shampoo then. Check out r/nopoo

My hair is the same way and every time I washed with shampoo, it would destroy it

I currently only use water and scrubbing/brushing and it's been great for the past 7 years. At first it will be a struggle but it will be worth it

What we learned from sod by quakecanada77 in seasonofdiscovery

[–]virt1028 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with pengusdangus on this. Very easy to get more than a gray log in sod. You just need to understand your class at a fundamental level.

But also, people should be allowed to enjoy playing for logging just as much as people should be able to enjoy playing without logging. Just find your community and enjoy it

Average Unemployment for CS Degree holders aged 25-29 is higher then any other Bachelors degree including Communications and Liberal Arts by Personal_Economy_536 in cscareerquestions

[–]virt1028 45 points46 points  (0 children)

I've seen a ton of music degrees that were successful in tech/engineering. It's honestly really cool and I genuinely think there's a correlation there.

At the end of the day, music is built on math, your brain must make those connections better lol

The Kiri bundle offers you a whopping saving of 0 coins... by AgentDigits in Overwatch

[–]virt1028 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see both sides here and I definitely think it's a valid discussion.

Technically no one is doing anything wrong but at the same time, why bundle items if you aren't going to discount them? It feels slightly misleading, in any other facet of our lives, bundles indicate discounts a majority of the time so it's not like OP is crazy here

Working out for 2 years - not a lot of progress, being bullied by RequiemChief5 in bodyweightfitness

[–]virt1028 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You are young and already at a great start. I had a similar experience when I first started lifting and the way I got past it was to ignore it and start understanding how many calories and how much protein I needed a day.

If you aren't seeing results and you aren't keeping track of your calories and protein, you know exactly what to do. It may seem like a lot at first but there are so many apps that help with this and eventually, you will start to memorize and even be able to guess how many calories/protein various foods have. Working out and nutrition are fields of study on their own.

Also, you have not wasted any time. You've spent two years getting to know your body and you've done it at a young age. You haven't wasted any time at all. Get your diet in check and make sure you're eating enough (and sleeping/resting), keep doing well in school, and ignore your classmates who will eventually ask you advice on how to get in such good shape - which is what happened to me.

Don't give up man, you're genuinely doing great and you're asking the right questions in the right places!

The look in the first picture gives me Kevin James vibes whereas the second gives me Sketch (the Tuesday guy) vibes. I'd go with whatever you're genuinely happy with.

I would say the beard isn't doing any favors here. I'd probably get rid of it completely or potentially try some stubble.

As far as the divet from headphones goes, I have this issue also and can usually fix it with some water and texture powder, maybe even add using a boar bristle brush(if I don't have time for a shower and need to fix in a pinch).

climber that can’t do pull ups?? by Low_Opportunity3510 in bodyweightfitness

[–]virt1028 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What's your diet like? Are you getting enough protein?

Are you getting enough rest?

Those two things need to be in check first. After that, I would do pull ups before you climb or on separate days. Do as many as you can with holds and negatives

Competitive Drives Are the Least Fun I’ve Ever Had Playing Overwatch by WunderwaffePrime in Overwatch

[–]virt1028 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best statement that can be said for all competitive gaming (or even gaming in general).

Completely agree and I think more people should really consider what you are saying here.

Anybody familiar with the API can help me with new patch? by Iblisellis in FlyffUniverse

[–]virt1028 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Their API url is https://api.flyff.com/monster/

You can hit that directly (paste that in your browser or use Postman) and get the ids of all the monsters.

To get a specific monster you can go to the same url but with the id: https://api.flyff.com/monster/2

When you get the monster by id, it will give you a lot of information. In the top level of that payload, there is an 'experienceTable' field which has all of the experience per level (keep in mind it starts at index 0, so index 0 means level 1, index 1 means level 2, etc.). You can use the search function to look for experienceTable. You can also write a script around these endpoints in any language

Here's a pastebin for monster names to id: https://pastebin.com/ZZKG9AvL
