Second one seemed more like a flex than for the lulz, but yeah. Definitely a "because I thought it'd be cool", which is a wild reason for self-surgery
If they cut your hours to no shifts for a month, file for unemployment. In the US you can often get partial unemployment if you can show you're not being given hours at your job.
There's two main possibilities here, to answer your question:
-
you're being phased out by management because somebody doesn't like you. This means you lost the workplace politics game. You'll be OK if this is the case, you're just not a good fit. If this is the case, none of possibility 2 applies because they're just looking for an excuse to axe you.
-
you are coming across to people as scarier than you're intending. It's pretty common for people working security to be big, tall guys with a good amount of muscle. If that applies to you there's a decent chance you're just not seeing yourself the way other people see you. To you, you're normal, to them you're a big scary guy trying to be intimidating even if you just cross your arms and think for a second. If this is the case, you're gonna need to work on your social persona a bit more to come across as friendly as you intend to.
Unfortunately, you're not going to find out which is the case until you're working somewhere else. Whether the people at this place are fucking with you or not, you gotta find a different employer.
No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it's from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor's been on my mind because I read the news.
You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you're trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.
Seriously, you're acting like I'm the one with the attitude here and all I've done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don't know what slavery is. But I'm the one being an asshole?
Hard to say for certain, per a recent AP report, privacy laws protect the info of which private companies specifically are using prison labor at any given time in several states.
Seriously though, check out that article. Wild.
Have you read the 13th amendment? Prisoners in the US are legally allowed to be used for slave labor. That's what I thought you were referencing
Sunshine docs show how to not stream the Discord audio
As far as your system being muted on your end, there's a setting in Sunshine called audio_sink. If you set that, the sound will be captured from whichever device you set instead of a virtual device. That will keep Sunshine from muting your speakers.
Sidebar: that's why the Penumbra games have excellent VR support now, for those interested in shitting their pants.
Most of the time M3GAN had a puppet face, so that helped a lot with the creepy uncanny valley effect.
That's a 2-football field diameter, for those who think in American
FTC is already on Google's case
Generally speaking, Romero was pretty far from being "hollywood". Dude made almost exclusively indie films shot in the suburbs of Pittsburgh where he lived for much of his life. Extras were almost all locals. I'm from southeastern PA but I know multiple people who know at least one person who worked on one of his movies.
Nihilist here. Everyone acts like it's sad or depressing (or fully unhinged/hedonistic), but I've personally found it to be freeing.
All meaning is a subjective experience, a transient feeling/thought combination. In other words, an illusion. A pile of chemicals and neural connections that can be synthesized in a relatively formulaic way, just look at pop music, romance novels, action movies, etc.
I still have ideals, personal convictions, opinions, hopes and dreams, I'm just no longer caught up in the illusion that any of it objectively matters, regardless of how I feel.
We're just smart meat puppets, and that's OK.
I would also add Welcome To The NHK to the list of SOL with anxious characters. That show is amazing.
As a Tetris player, it's 2 T-pieces and a line-piece. Each Tetris piece is 4 squares (Tetris = tetra (meaning 4) + Tennis). 3 Tetris pieces times 4 squares each = 12 tiles
