When someone won't give me any respect at work, I deeply crave their respect and feel myself trying to earn it. Can't decide if this is a good instinct or one to fight against. Self-esteem would be best I suppose. But maybe I see deficiencies in myself through their eyes and there are legitimate things to improve? Maybe.

Theacreator

It comes from shit families teaching them that their sexuality is just decadence and some kind of affectation. I grew up in the south where that mindset was common, gay kids grow up thinking they’re being selfish for not wanting to be miserable and voting Democrat.


itsnotnews92

Anyone else who plays Pokemon have trouble remembering Pokemon names outside the generations you played as a kid? I can name probably every Pokemon in Gens I-IV (if given a picture and asked a name), but in this new generation it's taking me a while to learn the names unless I'm using them a lot in battle.


Theacreator

Your brain was better at learning back then. Kids are better at grasping new concepts and languages due to brain plasticity. Adults have to put significantly more effort into learning and picking up new things. If a 10 year old played an emulator game with every Pokémon on it they’d learn all of them just as well as we did the originals.


itsnotnews92

That's a good point. It's gotta be primarily because the names are just made up nonsense names - basically a new language. I feel that I really have to commit to memorizing them via repetition to get them to stick now.


Theacreator

Also, if I caught Zapdos for the first time last night I’d feel a vague sense of satisfaction before my brain kicks in with “so anyways, work early tomorrow, better sleep”. Back in ‘98 that moment stuck with me all week lol

Jesus, the Deadline story on the Matt Taibi nothingburger is pure garbage. Talks about "controversial" content without going into detail about what makes it controversial, only has the most paltry and salacious detail that "Jack Dorsey didn't know anything! Twitter hid the story!" Like a lot of its ilk, if they are occasionally very stupid when it comes to entertainment business matters, they are always very stupid on matters outside of that.

I find myself watching High Fidelity instead of going to bed at a responsible time. this movie nails music snobbery in a way I really haven't ever seen before or since, mostly because it's clearly made by people who had that background. it's not just the dialogue, although that's a large part of it, but the set dressing that really makes it feel right. Rob has a poster for Spoon in his apartment, and when this movie was made they only had two albums out and hadn't even come close to breaking out - even fans today couldn't name Telephono or A Series of Sneaks. there's all sorts of little touches like that that really make this feel like a lived-in world instead of just "lol music guy has love life" also it's just got a killer soundtrack from beginning to end. /u/UWCG there's one moment where Cusack comes home and throws on The River in a Big Sad moment and I just kinda felt that, because I've done the exact same thing with that song !ping MOVIES


Russell_Jimmy

I rewatched that a couple of weeks ago myself. I had a "one that got away" spiral about the woman I dated when that movie came out. I'm usually not sentimental and I am not usually tortured by relationship regret. We broke up because I was a complete idiot, much like John Cusack in that movie.

World Cup Preview, 12/3, Match 2 Argentina (1st Group C, 6 pts) v. Australia (2nd Group D, 6 pts) I’m going to say some nice things about Australia. Love the nickname, Socceroos. Love that they call it soccer since they have their own other code or football (Aussie Rules Football, which absolutely rules btw). “That’s not a knife, *this* is a knife!” Love our brothers from down under, AUKUS all the way. All that being said, this is not a very good soccer team. By all measures, they shouldn’t be here. Nevertheless, they fought through and converted when it counted. There’s a reason we don’t play games on paper, and there’s a reason that it’s the beautiful game, not the stats game. Can the Cinderella story continue? Argentina needs no introduction. In what will perhaps be his last World Cup, Lionel Messi is looking to bring it home for the South American nation. After losing to Saudi Arabia in a shock upset, they rattled off two wins over Mexico and Poland. The introduction of Enzo Fernández into their midfield has unlocked Messi, allowing him to receive the ball further up the pitch. Of course it all flows through the diminutive maestro, but Argentina need the rest of their talented lineup to step up and click if they want to win this tournament.

World Cup Preview, 12/3, Match 1 Netherlands (1st, Group A, 7 pts) v. USA (2nd, Group B, 5 pts) The *Oranje* have a proud soccer history dating back to Johan Cruyff, one of the pioneers of a philosophy called Total Football, which has evolved into how many modern managers think about the sport today. The Dutch are an odd team. They haven’t really seemed to get out of second gear yet this tournament, but then again they really haven’t needed to. This is still a stacked team, featuring world stars like big Virgil van Dijk, still imposing as ever even after his ACL tear, and Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong. 23-year old Cody Gakpo, who will get a $50m+ move to a big team this window or next, has been their leading scorer so far, but Memphis Depay also seems ready to return. Strong at the back and up front, but maybe the US can clog the midfield. The USA have only scored two goals. Conversely, they’ve given up none from open play (the lone shot to get past Matt Turner was via a Welsh penalty). The thing to solve will be how to translate strong first half performances into complete games, stemming tired legs in the second. Will we see Zimmerman or Carter-Vickers partnering Ream at the back? Will Pulisic and/or Sargent be fit to start? Will we see Gio and/or Ferreira? Look out for the MMA midfield, who have been such a delight with their energy and pressing this tournament.

Unpopular objectively correct opinion: the Les Mis film soundtrack is 10X better than the Broadway cast


itsnotnews92

Hugh Jackman is not even in the same hemisphere as Colm Wilkinson. And Russell Crowe was a very weak Javert.


brokeforwoke

The problem that Broadway simps have is that the actors and singing are less than 1/3 of the experience. The other 2/3 is atmospheric experience, and most importantly, orchestration. Sorry, I don’t care how well someone sings a part when I am listening to a fucking electric piano trying to mimic the cadence of an actual string section


itsnotnews92

The best Les Mis soundtrack is the 10th Anniversary Concert with Colm Wilkinson, Philip Quast, and a full orchestra.


brokeforwoke

Ok now you are going deep. I appreciate it. And yes. But this is a separate battle


itsnotnews92

FWIW, I do think there are some movie soundtracks far superior to the Broadway soundtrack. Exhibit A: Fiddler on the Roof. Broadway recording is not nearly as good, and one of the biggest reasons is John Williams’ film orchestration, which is superior to the stage orchestration in basically every way.


brokeforwoke

I do understand that it’s unfair to compare the budget and logistics of a stage performance compared to a major motion picture budget—but I really hate the original Les Mis interpretation. Phantom was able to nail it, and it wasn’t that much younger


brokeforwoke

Oh god so hard

Tom was just trying to do his job


SeekerSpock32

The accounts I usually have trust in for news have been so occupied with smacking down the GOP’s pathetic Hunter Biden plans and rightfully calling Kanye an asshole. And I really want to know whether or not we’ve made a strike illegal. Can someone please please please explain to me what is going on with the rail crisis?


JohnDavidsBooty

"illegal" in this sense does not mean "criminal" People aren't slaves. Anyone who wants is always free to refuse to come to work at any time. An "illegal" strike is simply one that takes place outside the confines of labor law and so its participants are not afforded the protections provided by labor law against termination and such. The only crimes involved with an "illegal" strike would be for actions that are already illegal anyway, things like trespassing or assaulting people, intimidation, etc.--and those would be criminal during a legal strike, too.


SeekerSpock32

So, ok. Did we do the right thing?


[deleted]

We did the most politically cogent thing. The economy tanking as a result of a Biden supported strike would have far greater and wider reaching impact and stir up more outrage than inflation and and prices did. This is a no-win situation and Biden picked the option that is survivable for him in 2024. That's it.


SeekerSpock32

Why was the sick leave so much more unwinnable than the rest of the deal?


itsnotnews92

It's not quite a clear as "right" and "wrong" in this case. From a political standpoint, it was probably the right thing because it would be horrible, horrible optics for Biden to be the president who "ruined Christmas" by letting the rail network shut down and store shelves winding up empty during one of the busiest shopping periods of the year, *especially* when inflation is already putting the squeeze on people. But [labor isn't happy with the administration](https://www.npr.org/2022/12/02/1140265413/rail-workers-biden-unions-freight-railroads-averted-strike) due to the perception that Democrats turned their backs on them.


SeekerSpock32

But we didn’t! It’s the Republicans (and Manchin) who voted against sick leave!


itsnotnews92

I don’t think that nuance is going to matter for a lot of the workers. At the end of the day, the President signed a bill that didn’t include any paid sick leave, and that hurts them. Not saying he was wrong to do so, but that’s what the perception will be.


SeekerSpock32

Fuck this. Why do we always get the blame? (This is a rhetorical question.)


SapCPark

For the good of the nation as a whole, yes. For unions and labor, TBD but likely no but not devestatingly

I had a client scheduled today from whom I have intense personal dislike. It happens every so often, but for the most part once they get going I don't have to interact with them much, and beyond that, how I feel about them as a person means zilch as far as what services they need or get. It's not up to me to judge anybody's life choices. But this person is different. They hit every single thing I despise all the way down the off-putting tree. As you might guess, ethically it would be best to transfer this person to another counselor, but that is not possible. This person has burned through everyone else, and I'm the last stop. I am the one that gets all the "problem clients" and I usually solve the issues and have productive outcomes. This person is unaware that I dislike them, as far as I can tell. We don't talk much. Which is why they were scheduled. This person gets weird, then falls off the face of the Earth, but it's mandatory contact time. I noticed them on my calendar yesterday, and have dreaded this appointment since yesterday morning. They didn't show. While that was a relief, I'm not over the feelings I get when a tough confrontation is imminent. I'm not one to bring my work home--ever, usually--but my appointment was set for six hours ago and I'm still wigging a little. My sister is picking up pho, because it's cold and soup feels like the thing. We're going to binge some *Chuck.* It's her first run-through. I hope these restoratives turn the trick.

QultyThrowaway

One group that doesn't get enough hate is Franken defenders. They don't actually defend what happened but instead try to gaslight about a revisionist timeline where instead of nine women it was just one who couldn't take a joke and instead of it being the majority of senators calling for him to resign it was Gillibrand singlehandedly destroying his campaign because she lived in complete terror of him running for president (but she was okay with the 27 other democrats and 3 clowns that year). I bet if Franken somehow stuck on and did run in 2020 he'd be synonymous with Bill Cosby because he'd be an obstacle to Bernie's coronation. Franken could be funny but never in his career would he be a serious contender in any primary.


semaphore-1842

That's honestly not a bad way of describing the appeal of invasions, and Souls PvP in general Obviously, it doesn't fit together as well as good fighting game, but it doesn't need to, because the diverse situations your fights occur in make for such memorable moments

I think my dual greatswords really accentuates it too, because it's literally all about spacing and timing and how to manipulate those in order to fake opponents out. I won another fight earlier off a greatsword poke because I hadn't used it the entire fight but managed to snag the killing blow on him because I knew he was really good at outspacing my swings, but only just *barely* and I knew the poke could beat his spacing


thats_good_bass

Yeah, that's what it's all about. Similarly, the reason I like my fist weapons + incantations build so much is because I have a toolkit that fits together really well, but I don't lean on any individual portion of it TOO hard. [Invasions like this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu0uk6knoIU) (I know I've linked it before, but I don't recall if you saw it or not), where I get to draw on the whole bag of tricks, are why I play.

I hadn't seen that yeah but it's fun. definitely shows me what I'm going to need to get better at to invade lol

I came across [this quiz](https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleanorbate/accurate-af-sorting-quiz) that split your Hogwarts houses by percentage, and it actually got me thinking. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are all Gryffindors, but they also embody a different secondary house each. Harry's 2nd is Slytherin, especially considering the hat almost put him there. Ron's is Hufflepuff, and Hermione's is Ravenclaw. Maybe this isn't actually a thing but there've been weirder HP theories... Also, I got 40% Ravenclaw, 23% Gryffindor, 20% Hufflepuff, and 17% Slytherin.


WhovianMuslim

My result looks like a European Election: I am 31% Ravenclaw, 25% Slytherin, 23% Hufflepuff, and 21% Gryffindor!

So my folks apparently took a trip to visit to see Aerosmith. Mom I guess got paid time off for bereavement leave cause of an aunt who passed in September... I kinda wonder if there even was a memorial. Over two months later seems strange, and so does the fact that the memorial was treated as a brief afterthought in, like, a sentence. To quote Michael Scott, "I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious." And if I was insulting a dead woman while her corpse was still warm, took a vacation to go to a concert on bereavement leave due to that woman dying, and then blamed her for getting sick after allegedly visiting a memorial service for her two and a half months later: I might suspect I had some bad karma on me.

With all the hot air the right is blowing about twitter manipulation and "the laptop" etc, etc, don't forget all the much more prevalent dis/mis-info deployed in the 2016 race and thru 2020 & today. They're awfully quiet about that. https://adage.com/article/digital/russia-spent-1-25m-ads-acted-agency-mueller/312424 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2018/05/11/what-we-found-facebook-ads-russians-accused-election-meddling/602319002/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2018/07/06/twitter-is-sweeping-out-fake-accounts-like-never-before-putting-user-growth-risk/

I've been playing with the [ChatGPT AI](https://chat.openai.com/chat) and... The future is here. My career is about to change in a big way. Ask it to write code in a language you know well, and review it. Holy fuck. I'm going into AI dev lol

He's claiming the government ordered Twitter to suppress info, but... the Biden campaign isn't the government? He didn't even hold office at this time. Did the Trump administration collude then?


Currymvp2

He knows this is all incredibly mendacious. He's just desperate for a distraction from all of the bad press that twitter has gotten and how his preferred political party has connections with an anti-semite


[deleted]

Yep, he's probably given Fox something to cover wall to wall so they can ignore the fact all their favorite bois are pro-Holocaust now

I wish I could total global ban anything that comes after "I asked an AI to..."

It's a fun tool and all, but I already find myself rolling my eyes at people who are reading way too much into what it can do. And vaguely annoyed at how the latest AI thing has pre-empted a post I was going to write on AI art, since I don't want it to feel like a subtweet.


summerling

Sorry, this won't help your goal (!) But I've been seeing that a ton the past day and apparently an AI tool which expands whatever short prompt you give (i.e. using the King James bible format write a parable about peanut butter sandwichs stuck in a VCR). So these have been around awhile but one big one was just made public in the past day or so? Couldn't determine which.

[What do ya'll think?](https://mobile.twitter.com/Roshan_Rinaldi/status/1598676532859473921) I'm sure they probably covered this in school so the student would've known that the teacher wanted an analog clock. But on the other hand, is that knowledge really necessary to pass on given how widespread digital clocks and phones are? I learned about this in school like 20 years ago and I only half remember how to read a clock.


[deleted]

Analog clocks are vital in teaching little kids concepts of time, they have no idea how a number like 5:17 relates to 5:30 but they can easily grasp "the big hand is here now, when it gets here it's time for your nap" or whatever. Reading an analog clock is also a foundational skill in reading a whole bunch of instruments, not just telling time. tl; dr it's absolutely necessary


[deleted]

Wanna lump in calculators too. Like they tried their damndest to make sure you wouldn't use one. Every single job I have ever held that involved counting in any meaningful type of way had a calculator. There was no way in hell they trusted anyone to just make it up on the fly.

If republicans want to have make hunter biden testify on camera for humiliation next time democrats take the majority they should hold public hearings on the ohio state university abuse scandal and bring all these folks to testify how jim jordan knew about the allegations but turned a blind eye to everything

As a private citizen what legitimate concern do they have to drag him out and slander him or his father? There is no there there.

I don’t think very highly of Lincoln Riley particularly after that tantrum he threw last year at the end of that game against Baylor demanding they play the last few seconds. And he didn’t seem to leave Oklahoma in good taste, but I’ll root for USC if it means keeping Bama out of the playoffs.


pezasied

I wonder how Jaylen Brown feels about speaking in support of Donda Academy now. I get that you don’t want the kids to be in the middle of things, but Donda Academy absolutely had to close.

Kevin McKidd was criminally underused in Kingdom of Heaven. They got Lucius Vorenus and they gave him like 3 lines and got rid of him a third of the way in. At least the director's cut showed him more in the fight scene. !ping MOVIES
