Would you like to give us some free money today?
  • The more we don't tip the more it becomes normalized. I've stopped tipping all counter service other than bartenders. At first I felt guilty but the more I did it the more it became normal to me.

  • Derisking a project 1 year out
  • Nah. It doesn't say not to plan. It says to prefer responding to change over planning. Which means both happen but responding to change is more crucial. Or put another way don't let your plan get in the way of responding to change.

    I'm sure you were being sarcastic, but I get kind of tired of the Agile strawman and people shitting on it. It's not a complex philosophy yet people extrapolate so much (too much) and then get annoyed when their assumptions don't pan out well. even performing sprints is an extrapolation, so this meme gets it wrong too.

  • What do you think of this prediction?
  • Yeah hate to say it but by the time this golden age ends with valve I'll prob either not be gaming as much anyway or to your point have enough that I won't really care about the newer games.

  • Wells Fargo fires employees for utilising down time.
  • Sorry you're getting downvoted... I read the article as well and yeah- You're totally right. This is BS rage bait that isn't even warranted against Wells Fargo.

    I have 2 coworkers who do the same thing and it is pretty damn irritating cuz they're on my team, and I legitimately cannot rely on them on a day to day basis to be around to do their job. So I understand the frustration. This shit does ruin WFH for everyone else, directly or indirectly.

  • Why don’t you like Apple?
  • Wife spilled some beer in the keyboard. Screen doesn't turn on, it doesn't hold a charge, keyboard doesn't work. But we need sensitive data off the drive.

    Take it to their "genius" bar where we are told there is nothing that can be done for the old data and we should just buy a new one.

    I take it home, Google a bit and try target disk mode. Et Voila I'm in and can get that data from the hard drive as though it was an external HDD.

    Why the Apple "genius" didn't share this option with me? They don't actually care about helping.

    And that's the rub with Apple. They don't give a fuck about their users or developers. Just want to herd them around to make more money off their overpriced garbage.

  • how do you make friends if large gatherings arent your thing?

    I do like large gatherings, but I don't really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to "be myself" with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and getting to know new folks.

    I am looking to meet new people to be friends, as in capital F friend, not just a random person I know. Someone who wants to hit me up and go do something fun, check in on me and see how I'm doing, etc.

    How do you go about meeting people and finding social settings that foster deeper connections?
