That sucks. I feel like a lot of stuff is easier and just better without even dealing with a PM - good ones can be worth their weight in gold though if you’re dealing with multiple folks on a project and they do their job right.
Unfortunately, that’s very rare.

I can’t install unapproved software on my work laptop, probably like most others hence I ain’t messing with that.

If I schedule a meeting and someone doesn’t accept that invite I just assume they’re not showing up and act accordingly. Might send them a ping a few minutes before hand but if they’re a stakeholder and needed for the meeting and choose to ignore the invite(s)/email … That meeting gonna get cancelled or rescheduled.
Not that that very often happens but I’d just start bothering said guy about it with pings or email follow ups until they get the picture. Or just cancel the meeting(s) if no response 24 hours before scheduled. Something like that.
Not even to be petty or annoying just because they should be accepting or declining for the simple fact that everyone else has schedules to keep too. Obviously this advice may be bad or not applicable but yeah that sucks.

As someone working for a consulting firm … Yeah … Checks out.
I mean I’m not seeing that money but also it’s wild to me what companies are willing to spend money on toss into a fire.
Really goes to show how this shit is all made up.

Hmm, I just open notepad and use a stack of coins or something similar to hold down a key to stay active if I need to.
It’s stupid we even have to care about our status on teams. Why should anyone give a fuck about your teams status as long as you’re getting to your work done properly and on time?
Although to be fair right now I’m using a client laptop so my employer basically sees me as offline all the time but I’m reachable by teams or email on my phone.
Anyways it’s just dumb. Fun trick though, I didn’t know you could do that.

Dunno, it does look like work is being done on the elevator assuming the photo is real. Like the floor is bare and there’s padding material up all around.
Depending on how the boards those buttons connect to are wired this might have just been the best way to do it with less wiring but idk how that stuff actually works and I’m far from an electrical engineer.

Thanks for filling me in, I do think that makes sense. I know I got downvotes for thinking aloud but appreciate you answering.

I feel like maybe I need to read more about the whole “stop killing games” thing. It’s awesome and fine if they expect at some point the game will be able to be played through a free multiplayer tool that enables someone to host and pay for private games.
It’s quite another if they think companies should have to shell money out of pocket indefinitely to run infrastructure for multiplayer games after x years of release and/or once player base passes a certain threshold number.
I’m admitting my ignorance here but I do think it’s fair to at least question both sides some
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is being blackmailed? 2 weeks ago:
You would probably have to go back 100 years to find someone that is the head of state in a country that is a major player on the world stage to find someone that is as unfit for the job as Trump.
I don’t want to be that guy but I guarantee there’s some pretty unfit people who have recently left the UK and we got Putin in Russia right now.
I don’t think you have to go back in time at all.

Oh yeah I know they exist I just figured they’re more like underground and poorly regulated was what I was getting at.
That is a funny mission. CP2077 genuinely has some excellent writing.
- Comment on Femality is stored in the nipples 2 weeks ago:
I feel like there are cybernetic dick enhancements in cyberpunk but they’re not widespread or used a lot. Like they usually are peddled by sketchy folks and don’t seem to be something advertised that much.
I mean, good chance I’m wrong on that but that was kind of the vibe I got playing the game.
Dong slider is a hilarious thought. I don’t know enough about coding and game development but it feels like it might be hard to get the animations right if you had a slider vs selection because you’d have to be figuring out animations for those titties or cock on the fly.
But maybe that’s just me showing my lack of knowledge, perhaps a slider from tiny titties to big ol tatas is already a thing in some games. I guess it’s also dependent on the game engine.

It’s actually a sex toy. It’s from AkumaToys from what I could tell.
But yeah, it’s actually what it looks like.

They look like frames for either a shell of something or potentially as forms for concrete pouring (doubt that though).
So they probably go together to make the skeleton of some kind of shelter or vehicle.
- Comment on Title 5 weeks ago:
Yeah anyone that thinks making more money means they’ll end up with less money because of taxes is just wrong. It’s crazy how so many people are that naive that they want to actively handicap themselves.
Having said that, you know what does work like that, our welfare system. It is possible to hit a point where you work too much and get xyz benefits taken away and the monetary value of those is larger than what your raise was. In particular, childcare/food stamp benefits are a hard one to lose and childcare can be a lot of money. So, that’s a valid complaint but if you are not receiving government aid any raise you get at work is a benefit to you.
- Comment on $37 for a burrito 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I guess it also is culture. It’s mostly that sit down restaurants (and then fast food) got into an “arms race” over “value” which in this case value = bigger portion sizes for the same or less money than other places.
I just say capitalism as more shorthand for this kind of thing where there is some weird market forces at work, and half of that is just marketing and perceived “bang for buck” and trying to one up the other guy. Like I’m not even sure people actually want these giant portions shoveled into their obese gaping maws but it seems to be where we’ve arrived.

- Comment on GTA 6 Developers Announce Rockstar Games Union 1 month ago:
Lol I wonder what you wrote that garnered those initial reactions. Something whining about the game being too woke or what?
Well, nonetheless, I unironically am looking forward to a woman being the main character. It’ll be a nice change of pace - I wonder if they’re going to keep the multi character stuff from GTA V or switch back to a solo protagonist.

Capitalism is the cause of those problems. Last I checked the people hoarding money in off shore accounts weren’t exactly keeping money circulation speed constant. Well, perhaps constantly zero in that case.
- Comment on Gold 1 month ago:
Why do we even need owners in the first place? We don’t need to be beholden to the borgeousie and have a class that owns the means of production and gets rich off the labor of others while all they have to do is spend their money and not do any work.
Like employee owned businesses can be a thing.
It’s not like we’d have to upend our whole society, just change how employees are compensated, give them some equity in the company they work for and bring up individual incomes. Also tax the ever loving fuck out of profits (or revenue it’s arguable which is better) after a certain threshold so the only way to get more money is to reinvest and grow the business. Same with individual wealth taxes.
Nobody needs to be a billionaire. Companies don’t need to constantly push their profit up quarter after quarter. We don’t need to be beholden to the shareholders just because they have a bunch of money and own stock, we should be the shareholders ourselves.

Idk what the hell happened to baby boomers. When I was growing up my parents (boomers) constantly reminded me you can’t believe everything you read online and that the “girl” I was chatting with on AIM could actually be some fat 40 year old pedo.
That wasn’t uncommon, that was the same experience all my buddies had and same thing was drilled into us at school.
Now, I’m seeing these folks treat memes on Facebook like it’s the gospel truth. Or some random mommy blog post with zero references as straight facts. It’s so maddening … What happened to these people?

I mean some of them can fetch a pretty penny. I’d find a good local card shop if you’re interested in getting rid of them.
Or you can send them to me and I’ll take em off your hands… But seriously it might be worth it for you to take them into a shop just to see if you have anything of value.
