I’m kind of surprised considering there’s a massive mod scene. Not even with a custom difficulty mode?

If you actually practice Christianity, and really the majority of popular religions, in the way they are intended, they all sort of circle back to a lot of these same concepts. It’s when you start attaching material specifics to these intentionally abstract concepts and governing others based on those specifics that things get messy. A true follower of their religion is often not vocal about it.
I worked in one of these companies. Within months, we went from a company I would be proud to recommend to friends to a service I would never use myself, just due to the horrendous route they took to hire overseas support.
The line of tech work I was in required about a month of training after passing the interview process, and even then you had to take a test at the end to prove you’d absorbed the material before you ever speak to a customer.
When they outsourced, they just bought a company of like 30 people in an adjacent industry and gave them a week of training. Our call queues were never worse and every customer was angry with everyone by the time they talked to someone who had training.
I don’t blame the overseas agents. I blame all the companies that treat them like cattle.
I stand corrected. You learn something new every day.
Now I wonder how directly their marketing and development budgets factor into their spending. They’re one of the few places with a brick and mortar store still and they push a lot of new stuff as fast as they can.
Mindfulness is its own reward and prayer, even to a rock, can help. It’s about surrendering and accepting that there is something in the universe that you have no power over.
It’s not about believing the rock is alive or capable or changing things for you, but by simply reframing your desires as a universal one rather than an internal/personal one you can find yourself motivated in a different way and opportunities may present themselves differently.
I’m also talking about the traditional concept of prayer, not whatever the fuck the Christians are doing.
If everyone simply replaced the batteries on their phones, not using Apple’s service (even when they’re willing to do the work), then they probably wouldn’t be worth a trillion dollars.
Hardware margins are tiny. Most companies, including Apple, don’t make their money on hardware. They make almost all their money on ad revenue, data collection, and subscriptions.
Someone might get a new phone once every 1-2 years and make Apple ~$50-100 one time, if that, but they likely had to pay for an employee to sell it to you and for the store to be open for you to buy it.
Compare that to the nearly 100% profit on every digital service you pay for, such as Apple Music/TV.
I see it going one of three ways.
Not defending Apple or anything, but hardware is often the last place a modern tech company makes a profit.
I’ve definitely had the internal thoughts “leak” like you’re describing. I tend to think in almost another space outside of myself where sometimes I will forget my senses and have to actively return to them. Like I’m walking away briefly from the drivers seat to go take care of something in the back of the truck. I tend not to do this with others around as it can be rude. With others, I’m much more stream of consciousness.
I have to imagine there’s a meme or comic of Bella being all super excited ready to bang becoming disappointed once he transforms back into a human, but I wouldn’t know how to search for it without having to sift through piles of rule 34 to find one. I’m not brave enough.
But in the Disney movie which the picture is referencing, it’s not a forced marriage, which is the version I think most people think of.
To me, the original tales all felt like the Murphy’s Law of storytelling. While they are the originals and are much more mature material, I honestly feel the vast majority of Disney adaptations (I’m talking classic 2d series run) are better at teaching the lessons to a modern audience than the original stories. Times change and art often reflects this.
Sadly, the pendulum has swung too far the other way and we’re remaking material in a span of time that the lessons haven’t changed all that much. That’s why you can go back to pretty much all eras of film and get valuable lessons from it because the lessons all still apply. It’s just that much of a new medium.
That’s like, the moral of the whole movie is that she didn’t judge him for his appearance and wasn’t expecting a prince. I figured this was well known.
I’ve had this happen at least a few times. Each time it was because someone was in the crosswalk they couldn’t see and thought I was just being a dumbass.
My case is all black, but almost everything these days ships with RGB if it’s a modern gaming part. I set them to the lowest brightness at a dark purple so it barely shows. Anything more than that is too distracting for me.
I’ll have to upload it here when I get back into work on Tuesday, but I wrote a PDF guide for the most common Windows and Mac shortcuts that I consider to be the essentials.
tl;dr I feel is exactly this
I’ve heard at least a dozen guaranteed methods for solving hiccups. At this point I’m convinced it’s all placebo, including the method that works for me reliably.
You hold your breath with a mouth full of water, plugging your ears, swallowing very slowly. Hold your breath as long as you can and take a few deep breaths after.
I moved away from a state that has them. They’re so beautiful to watch over a big open field. Like stars that fill the ground to complete the sky.
get an unexpected wave of inspiration
start to do the thing
look at the amount of actual work it would take
realize it was just a good fantasy and go back to routine
I can definitely relate.
Yeah, this was my first thought. How many slightly older, no-longer-being-updated pieces of software will fail to open the new version? Hopefully it’s built in a way that it just falls back to legacy and ignores the extra information so you can at least load the file.
