For sure! I’m pro-abortion so I’m sure as heck pro-auction. The birth having already happened is just a minor detail.
Besides, if a kid’s parents don’t want them, I’m sure that man in the nice blackout van will give them a much better childhood.
I mean, if you’re not looking at just coding, Tyler bringing us Schedule 1 was pretty bad ass in many ways.
I believe so, yes?
Take away your opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed.’ Take away the complaint, ‘I have been harmed,’ and the harm is taken away.
A person being offended by someone ghosting them is entirely up to that person. Coincidentally the kind of characteristic that some people rather ghost.
I really appreciate Commander Shepard (whoever the male is) when you select renegade options only. The voice lets out stoic, brazen, unfiltered bullshit that somehow fits in with everything going on. It’s like the serious version of Zapp Brannigan. I wouldn’t be surprised if Seth Green (Joker) influenced it and how to deliver it.
Also, John Marsden in RDR1. If you’re not American and know little about their Wild West era, that voice delivery is such a big layer of immersion, whereas other voice acting can really disconnect you from the experience. It being the voice of you helps with feeling like a part of the world. Like compare that to the cowboy from Octopath 🤢
I also really enjoyed a lot of the voices from KCD2. Rosa and Hans are excellent.
Financially protects her employer. The police can bust someone, but it won’t get the money back. So it works two-fold. Makes trying to rip people off seem less enticing because the risks of being caught are higher than what the government can handle, this in turn also reduces financial risks for her employer too. So she’s a sought after security investment that also gets to help everyday people too.
Best way to describe it, “whitehat”. Maybe grey t times… Something cybersec actually pays well for now where it used to just be a good ethics hobby.
They were in an X-Files episode where someone was robbed/killed for them. S6E10, “Tithonus”. But, yeah, fad didn’t last long because they quickly became a bit of a “what a loser” item, even for us that were kids at the time.
Mostly fraud, scamming, identity theft, credit theft, etc. Her employer’s industry can be a breeding ground for it, so she goes hunting for them. It protects them and the government relies on the collaboration.
But there’s big responsibility. Unfortunately it seems a lot of people drag their family and friends into things by lying or scamming them too, trying to set them up as a scapegoat if they are discovered. So a big part of it is making that side of the story evident too before handing things over to the fed. Mother’s and siblings are the most frequent and hey’ll do all these fraudulent things they’re not aware of because their trusted family member with their “legitimate” business said it’s fine, so they don’t question it.
My sister does this as a job. Builds big evidence piles and then hands them to federal authorities. They do the drive up and handcuff part, then lawyers do the rest. But if it’s evidence she’s compiled, you can be sure the defence can’t do much else than minimise penalty/jail time.
The best part is she is able to do things the police can’t, then use that information to set up smoking guns that law can use.
It’s about as superhero as someone can get without getting off the computer.
There’s also stoic bros now. Their brains have managed to connect alpha masculinity to stoicism. They’re like the viking bros where they gain security from people seeing them as enduring, dependable, and tough. They obviously have no idea of the philosophy in detail.
I explore a lot and have been to and lived in a lot of places and prefer it that way. Might be from all the moving around growing up. There’s towns that feel familiar with me, but not what I think people mean when they say “hometown”.
I get something with a handful of little locations though, like certain bars, mountains, surf spots, etc. When I get to see one again, it has the same emotion as seeing a dear old friend after a long time. Lots of peace and good memories rush in.
About 1,500 km. Nope, there is places I grew up and places I’ve been. There’s no “hometown”.
Women are just as bad. It’s not a gender thing, though there are the old stereotypes you mentioned
My experience is women are very unclean if they don’t think it will be noticed or on display. Cleaning is more for appearances with little influence from hygiene or being organised. Men seem to do it out of necessity only, it’s not the bare minimum, but the state of something can be left longer, like a pile of clothes not being big enough to deal with yet. But there are those that can’t survive without their mothers.
You can of course quit now, but that will mean you’re job hunting while unemployed, which is a far worse scenario. You can also just put up with it, but it sounds like that’s a shit scenario too.
So the best course of action you can immediately take right now is go window shopping for a new job until you find something you like. Whether it comes by this week or six months from now, you have the luxury of having nothing to lose here and you have the best hand.
Even look at getting a new certification if you feel like it and if you can—ball’s in your court. Every time that little bastard undermines you, let it be the fuel that’s encouraging you off to greener pastures. Explain that in your exit interview, and remark on how they’ve come up with an interesting employee retention strategy.
I have a friend that says, “Well shit on my face.” whenever something amazingly unbelievable is true. The way they say it so stoically, naturally, like it’s normal, it’s usually responded to like, “I know right- what?!”
50% of the post here are. Echo chambers rely on most users never reading the article.
Same. I’ll check out things around me like any normal person, but I rely on my hearing to tell my eyes to look for something specific.
I think too, some people have a very wild imagination. There’s no second thoughts getting in a car, despite the chances of being seriously harmed in one making the chances of being attacked in public comparatively inconsequential. You are just extremely unlikely to ever meet one of the very few people that would initiate unprovoked public attack. But parents, crime shows, and movies tell us otherwise—it doesn’t hurt to be cautious, anyway.
Also, be aware that if it is debit and not credit card, it can take quite a while for the hold to come off. This isn’t on the gas station, it’s on how quickly your bank handles them. My bank it’s around 2-3 business days, but I know some it can be up to four weeks. Granted, this is my experiences in Asia and around Europe, but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same in the US.
If you think that’s the case, confirm with your bank before you using it and accidentally end up with a few hundred on your account just stuck there for a while.
