I made the same mistake earlier. It doesn’t help that “Herman Cain” continued to post after he was dead.

I’m not having another kid but if I did I would do my exact setup still. Audio to wake me up and video to see if a response is needed or if they need to cry it out.

Not even that, the iPhone SE is $430 and is the closest phone they’re claiming to want but then going for the top of the line phone instead.

The movies or tv shows haven’t convinced me once that being a Jedi is healthy or good on a personal level.

Quite funny to use Jill Stein for this considering she’s done her bit selling us out.

The reason they can “sit back” and count their money is because they’re a private company. As soon as there’s rumblings of going public, then buy a sextant for navigating.

Occupy faced overwhelming media bias against it. A good chunk of major cities passed anti-protest laws that curbed it.

The Tea Party was an astroturfed “movement” funded by the Koch brothers that resulted in officials being elected. The overall goal was to bring the US further right and that was accomplished so they stopped funding it.

I’ve never understood dudes hang ups on numbers. Don’t even care to understand.

I kind of figured this shit would jump to jobs quickly. In my last 25 years of working, I have received clear(ish), usually written instructions, of what to do and since it’s a job then what is expected of you for output is very focused. Not only that but the manager is directly incentivized to ensure you’re on the right task.

From how this written, it seems like the movie was likely said orally and the rubric would likely just state an essay due for that time.

So again, what is the overall goal of school? Attention to details is definitely a part of that but more how you’re thinking about the task. This is the reason math teachers often give partial credit if you make a small mistake early on but follow the correct procedure. Should you fail the essay for a spelling mistake? Attention to detail is crucial, right?

Let’s take your example, they did the wrong scenes and put your production behind schedule. You even state that they do an amazing set of storyboards. So your first jump is to micromanaging instead of doing some counseling and slightly altering how tasks are handed out. In that particular example, scenes aren’t banged out in an hour, so that tells me that you didn’t check in on progress at all. Not wanting to micromanage doesn’t mean they’re off on their own entirely. So you have an employee that does amazing work but might require written tasks and a check in but guess it’s the end of the world.

Good god, this shit right here is why school really gets under my skin.

Here let’s present it in a different way. Write an essay on problematic humor in Revenge of the Nerds II. They do an essay on the history of Nintendo. Ya, that’s a failure cause they did something completely different. But if they did an essay on the Revenge of the Nerds, then a few points off for attention to detail.

The main thing should be what is overall being evaluated or trying to be taught.

If it’s a film essay and good then I would be annoyed with more than 1 grade letter knock down. I would absolutely expect a ding against me due to not following instructions but having failure on the table is excessive.

On iPhone, maybe Android too, you click the power button 5 times and you have enter the pin.

Some movies legitimately are better in theaters. Like Avatar, the screen and sound system are integral to the experience.

Apple consistently has top tier processor, camera, and longevity. There’s ton I don’t like about their business practices but don’t act like they release garbage. My kids still use my old iPhone 8 Plus and it still works great. The Android devices I have from that timeframe are unusable by comparison.

Is there a reason that the ‘do no evil’ is always dropped from the 4?

Looking back, the nemesis system and active reloading in GOW not being implemented in other games made me realize the old style of game creation of implementing and improving was over. The nemesis system is truly innovative and there was several times that I was like fuck Sauron, this random orc that got several lucky kills on me MUST be destroyed.

Love the colors and motion of this pic!

Several people on Lemmy and other places recommended ‘A Fire Upon the Deep’ and ‘A Deepness in the Sky’ to me and I plowed through them. Really enjoyable reads with actually unique takes that I haven’t seen in other media even though it’s 30 years old. The aliens feel actually alien but follow a logic which I appreciate. The ‘zones of thought’ is now just forever in my head.

RIP Vernor

Loved this, thanks for bringing it here.
