Sciaphobia

I actually am genuinely interested in that fellow's reasoning behind believing both that his job of managing people is successful, and also that all the people he managed do not like being managed by him.

Anecdotally, I have encountered workplaces containing a manager or employee that was universally disliked, and it was never because they were doing an awesome job. They did appear to think that people disliked them personally but benefited from their results. Often they seem to also believe those results would be unachievable in ways that do not produce the distaste. I am not sure these contradictions are entirely defensible.

what choice do you have if all services are doing it?

This measure is so blatantly anti-democratic that I can barely understand how anyone could justify it.

This very thing inspired me, a person who currently works nights, to screw up my sleep schedule to vote against it.

What's that from? The Simpsons?

Oh yes it's all clear to me now.

The p value is effectively the % chance something happened by coincidence, and not because of a real effect. Like flipping a coin and getting the same side several times in a row. P value is an assessment of that likelihood. Less than .05 means a less than 5% chance of that. I don't know what the other bit is, except it was likely a method of statistical analysis.

It's a way of saying that the results they found were very unlikely to be due to chance.

So are you just one guy with a lot of time and accounts to use, or is this like, a group of people working to make these low effort bait posts? I realize that might come across as dismissive, but I'm genuinely interested. Let's chat!

What, and I mean this sincerely, the fuck.

Better be careful. He sounds like he means business. You don't wanna be on the receiving end of the piss voice.

Alternatively, maybe a better work culture that could be advocated for by the union would result in better working conditions, more realistic deadlines, happier developers, and by virtue of these things a reduction in the kind of error you are referencing.

But also people make mistakes sometimes. Unions don't cause that, and I'm skeptical of claims that they seriously aid or promote mistakes either.

Based on what I hear about Texas' power grid when it enters the news, they may already have that.

I actually bought a stamp that prints that specifically to return Soectrum's trash.

It's alright solo, but it really shines with coop, and the community is mostly very friendly and welcoming. Occasionally you might get called an elf in a fit of pique, but I've personally encountered very few toxic DRG players.

What's outrageous about what I said that I read in an article?

Fairly confident he's calling you a liar and suggesting the things you claim to have seen in an article you never really saw, and are instead offering a claim of your own under the guise of it having been in an article.

Pretty cool way to interact with another human being, if you think about it.

Same same. Some copium being smoked.

Well, gaslighting would be trying to get you to question reality in some way. I don't think that fits here. I was more implying he was being a dickhead. Because he was.

I think back then he was going to create an alternative to Patreon.

Nah, it wasn't very clear in retrospect. That kind of snide comment doesn't really translate to text very well. My bad!

Sure, but that's not the end stage of the thought experiment. It's not really even the start. How exactly is this larger group of people supposed to enact any viable change? I think we could agree that seems unlikely to be possible in an unorganized/uncoordinated manner. The solution to that is to get organized and coordinate, right?

Well what does that look like? That could take nearly as many forms as people you ask to agree - so you'd need an idea that enough people would fall behind to still out number. Once that is achieved... What? If the goal of the burgeoning group is violent revolution, they won't get very far into the planning phase before being scooped up by security forces in some form or another. If the goal is nonviolent revolution, such as refusal to work, the system is constructed in such a way that those you would need to participate have a lot to lose, and little ability to withstand a protected protest/encounter/whatever, vs, presumably, a group that could easily outlast all of those things, as well as their children, and their children's children.

That's not to say nothing can work, but I think it might be just a bit reductive to suggest that things are as simple as suggesting it is total apathy in those who would need to unite to accomplish these goals that explains why the goals aren't striven towards.

Not really my favorite, but I never see these games listed in places like this, so I'm going to be the change I want to see in the thread.

Check out Lufia and Lufia II for the Super Nintendo. It's crazy how underrated these ended up being, and how good they were. I've played them semi recently, as SNES games go, and the second one still holds up well. The first is good, but feels a little more dated.

I was told it is also less likely to succeed the longer you've had it. Relying on reversals is a less than ideal plan.

It's like you're not even trying.

I have the guy he had responded to tagged as the guy with the piss voice. Good times.

Kinda wild, because at first he seemed reasonable and offered decent, if somewhat generic, advice. Then I looked into some of the stuff he was claiming, and.... woof.
