  • Harvey’s Hamburgers counted the times I punched in 1-3 minutes past my official start time (despite me being there 20 minutes in advance all times) as being “late” and fired me based off of this.

    The two other employees were both pregnant with the manager so I have a suspicion that I got fired because at that time I couldn’t get pregnant. I still can’t get pregnant now because I’m a man, but I also couldn’t get pregnant back then.


  • I agree with you. The pace of crafting to progress is slow. The story forces you to uncover it by exploring further and deeper. The distress calls nudge you in the right directions.

    My last playthrough I was determined to beat the game. It took 50 hours and at the end I got frustrated because just when I thought I was at the end, they wanted me to grind even more for some hard to craft materials which would require me to dive far and deep and look for things while things were dangerous.

    Exhausted, I used a single console command to give myself the thing I didn’t want to grind for and bam. Completed. The games a marathon. It’s entertaining, scary, interesting, and tedious. I’m not interested in any sequels.

    Same. I can explain it in depth because I too almost fell down this rabbit hole. 2015-2016 is when it got real bad and I started watching all sorts of sjw cringe compilations. As a barely adult I had no idea that all of this content was deliberately placed in front of me because I was the right target demographic.

    What stopped me was when the rhetoric increased in severity and people started denying trans identity and claiming that these people should be locked up. At that same time I read a bunch of studies where they proved that neuron networks in trans people’s brains literally resembled the sex they felt they were. Science got me out of it and I quickly saw that this was just outright bullying/hatred and science denying.




  • I recently learned how to use DAX expressions in Microsoft Power BI and how you can use them in measures so you can do all sorts of changes to datasheets so that when you make dashboards and data visualizations, it all looks super pro without complicated workarounds to make your data present nicely.

    My employer didn’t read the description of the training and just signed me and a whole bunch of other people up. It was a certification course meant to train for the final exam but most of my coworkers who were there hadn’t even opened Power BI up before. I was just at the right experience level for this course though, as I’ve used PowerBI at an end user level for a couple years now.

    It’s part of the decade long campaign to shift western culture into a more puritan and conservative one.

    An effective way to groom men 18-35 is to slowly over the course of 6+months feed into their insecurities and then point out a common enemy as the source of their problems.

    By feeding these insecurities consistently over a long period of time in subtle ways, the subconscious becomes more open to the normalization of these things until the individual believes they have come up with these beliefs on their own, based on what they’ve “saw” and “experienced”.

    Common male insecurities are of a sexual nature. If you can guilt men for masturbating and convince them that they’re worse off for it, they’ll keep themselves in a self perpetuating sexual frustration state, which further primes them for other subtle changes to their psyche, as well as making them on average more irritable and angry.

    Pair this with constant agitation propaganda personally curated and pushed into their social media feeds that they look at for roughly 2+ hours each day and you’ve got a good recipe for changing the political spectrum significantly for men 18-35.

    The end goal is a radical change in governance from the flawed democracies we know to something more autocratic.
