I suck at algebra and calculus and I'm an accounting major.

I tried the beta. The PVE stuff is fun, but then of course they have to shove in a PVP thing at the end of the match which made it unfun imo.

Read this in an article lol.

"Working from home can be too convenient. Things that are convenient arent necessarily good for us. Lifting weights is hard, but it makes us stronger. Similarly, it is more convenient not to have a commute or change out of our pajamas, but that doesnt mean its good for us. Having some commuting time, whether its walking, on public transit, or in a car, gives us an opportunity to let our minds wander and explore ideas. In these moments, you replay conversations from the day. Maybe you plan your discussion with your boss about a raise. You have time to process. Office life forces transitions and breaks throughout the day, as people shift between meeting rooms, desks, and meals and coffee. Of course, remote workers can plan breaks into their days, but most people arent very good at putting boundaries on their time."

Literally imagine believing that commuting builds character.

They know they're losing a losing battle so they will think of any bull **** to make it seem like remote work is bad.

Like an above post said.

**** em

Oh wow, you know it's bad when the article sounds like something that's suppose to be out of The Onion.

Yeah most people were expecting some kind of head bopper, but I like it. Certainly better than Face my Fears. I mean, Face my Fears could've been good if it didn't go all Skrillex.

No Emmys, it's eligible as all made for streaming movies are

Plus it WAS nominated for an Oscar

Wait, what's the ruling behind it?

At work you can accommodate them by having them work alongside someone else or by simply checking in on them more often. I've never had someone specifically ask for such an accommodation but the same practices that keep other people up to pace should work. You don't say "Tim, I need you to finish this by 4:30" and then just bugger off for several hours, you check in on them every half hour or so to make sure they're progressing at a pace to finish by that time. Or you have someone else working with/next to them to do the same thing. Basically, you have another person step in as their time sense.

Yeah this, it's not uncommon for interviewees to ask for accommodation when it comes to any form of disability's. In fact, we encourage people to be open about it. We've had employees in the past before where they would declare they have some type of mental illness/disability and I'm going "weird, you never discussed or said anything about it when we were interviewing you and asked you if you needed any form of accommodation".

Our company hired a staff accountant who was 350lbs. The accommodation he asked for was an office seat bariatric enough to hold his weight and size and that he would have to walk around with a walker at times. He was hired and is one of our top performers. Great work ethics, barely makes any mistake, and goes way above and beyond what he has to do. One of our best hire, which means we don't use disability's as a way to deny people employment. There's a good chance you might miss out on a good one.

A lot of the conservative posters on a different board was telling me I was invoking the slipper slope argument when I said something like this would happen. I was really hoping I was being paranoid.

Perhaps you don't completely understand what the word "popular" actually means

It's possible for people to like the IP, but not the reception of the movie is what I'm getting at.

I think you meant the Oscar's, not the Emmy's.

did you find this source at upyourass.com?

lolife67 posted...

Um, yes lol you can dislike them if you want (I hate them) but it'd be pretty stupid to claim they weren't extremely popular.

Popular doesn't mean that the majority likes them. It's fallacious thinking to assume BO means a lot of people likes the movie.

@lolife67

Bayformer movies make billions at the BO, would you say majority of those people liked the movies as well? Movies making make doesn't necessarily mean a lot of people liked it.

Are they going on strike for the same reasons the writers are?

Put me in the list of people that didn't like it. The best parts was when it did try something new like the horror elements, but the worst parts is when it was a MCU movie. Most of my problems with the movie was the script, sloppily done. The biggest reason it had such a big BO# was because of the trailer showing "cameos" only for them to be used in the most basic way possible though the way they died was one of the cooler parts. When we have movies like Spiderverse and EEAO using the multiverse in cool and unique ways to tell a story, this movie had the gall to call itself "Multiverse of Madness" and not really doing anything with it. I mean for god's sake, you have a character that can literally make portals to other Multiversus's and all she ended up being was a talking McGuffin.

I actually did get a question like this from a person I was interviewing regarding accommodations for the job. The person admits they have a hard time keeping track of time and normally has their clock set for when they need to do certain shifts. He mostly asked if it was okay for his phone to go off during certain time of the day and of course I said it was okay. From what I heard from him, Time Blindness is not "I'm going to be at work late because of Time Blindness" it's not having the innate ability to recognize the flow of time around them. It's basically when people get into "the zone", you're concentrated on that one thing you're doing you don't recognize how much time passes. It's a thing that happens to everyone, but for people with ADHD like him, it's a bit more severe. The person I interviewed had documents from his psychologist about it that I didn't even bother to research it or anything. He didn't make it in the next round, but that was due to other things and not because of his health.

Have you two considered making a page on "that site"?

I'll just flat out admit it, I expected this type of response in the first 10 posts pm CE lol

Well shit, one of my really left leaning friend says the movie is actually competently made and it looks like there isn't any "political shoving" in the movie. Gave it a 7/10, so it might be something I will eventually watch. Just not through the avenue they want me to watch it though...

RuneterranSnap posted...

Yup I've had terrible experiences but it's still something we're trying

I'm not going to deny that staffing agencies are for everyone. My friend got staffed into a terrible job through one. They're a good source though if you're desperate for a specific industry though.

Have you ever tried staffing agencies? A lot of our clients have been using them to find workers fast and many of them do eventually get brought on the businesses/companies as full time workers.

Ay, very true as well.

To be fair when most people think of California, they either think of San Fran and/or LA, NorCal and/or SoCal. When it's a state that leans blue, most people mean the cities.

I agree with one, disagree with the other 2.

Hiring is an awful process, and a lot of the time, you gotta hire a bunch to find one that works out, and ride out the shitty ones until you do.

Yep this. It's very hard to gauge who's going to be a good employee and ones that suck during the interview process. There are certain patterns you can identify, but it's not full proof. I do notice the more experience and older the interviewee is, the more likely they're a better employee (when it comes to accounting) versus someone with almost no work experience and are younger.

Yeah it's not the Andor of the MCU series, but it's decent. I haven't watched episode 4 yet, but I like what I'm seeing in the first 3 episodes. The weakest parts are the "chase" scenes, but the strong points are when the characters talk to each other. I just really hope it fits the landing, because I can see where that can go really wrong.

How much were the tickets?

I immediately said nope when my Trump worshipping Uncle gave it a 10/10 and gave Spiderverse a 1/10 because it had a trans flag in it.

I think yes, they got a lot of the old voice cast

Okay this just became a must play for me now lol.

Maybe because the anime you're watching has females that are 12 year olds?

I hope they do try adding something new to it...

He has become a more well-rounded person who admits that he was a dumbass for a long time.

He is a bit of a minimalist/stoic now, living in Japan with his wife and now son. He did kinda like an entire year plus of videos all about exploring Japan and living there as a foreigner. He also does book reviews for philosophy and just seems quite thoughtful and genuine.

Okay that's definately better than his "rate the meme" shows where it's just cringey as hell to see him try to be funny when he isn't.

Isekai has a lot of places it can go, producers just keep using fantasy MMORPGs as the baseline.

Because it's safe and easy to do. Isekai harem's are some of the most lazy premises follow by Action Shonen series that relies on a "tournament" to push its plot foward.

deoxxys posted...

No it's not a bad except when you're changing the initial premise of an already established story. Also it's way overdone and most the time it's just bad or lazy writing

I think you're just complaining for the sake of complaining because the original premise of Mulan was nothing new as well. The live action Mulan movie had a lot more of the other stuff that made it bad, it wasn't just Mulan being a Mary Sue.

DrizztLink posted...

It's not even a new message, it's the fucking magic feather from Dumbo.

Damn, Dumbo was a Mary Sue the entire time? Now that's bad writing!

deoxxys posted...

She used to be a great role model for women too. The lesson used to be "with hard work and smart thinking you can do better than everybody". Now the lesson is just: you were always awesome, just realize it!

I get what you're saying in context to the movies, but that's not necessarily a bad message either.

Not all places in California has high cost of living. Mid-Cal is more affordable than Nor-Cal or So-Cal and the only places with astronomically high cost of living are in the cities like San Fran and LA. But that's the issue, living in Mid-Cal is essentially living in a fly over state most of the time.

She's someone's daughter!

I can't wait until the isekai trend is over.

Heck, I'm getting nostalgic for moe.

Isekai been a thing forever. What you're specifically asking to end is the "Isekai Harem" subgenre that has been dominating, and the anime that hilariously started the trend was SAO, which really isn't an "Isekai" in the general sense that it is now.

ablegator posted...

They wanted to load the bill with anti trans provisions. They view child marriage as non existent yet the democrats are flooding schools with transsexual groomers. The GOP in Michigan is unhinged to say the least.

You know, now that makes more sense. There's no way something so universally disliked as child marriages could be something a party actually holds unless they really want votes for a very niche demograph. Still petty of them to use such a thing to push more transphobic legislature like that though.

I mean this in a good faith way, but what's the argument that the GOP uses to oppose the ban on child marriages? I'm really curious.
