They are just people. Once you understand that, it is no different than talking to a waiter.

Now, flirting with a woman, that is its own skill. You need to be able to treat them as just another person first.

This thread is useless without pictures of the damage. We need to know the construction to have any idea what the best course of action is.

I am thousands of miles away from my home. I have been back a few times over the decades and every time I feel more peace, because I am home. I don’t feel at home where I live, it still feels foreign to me because the environment is so different than the land my heart calls home.

The heartbreaking part is that it has deteriorated in some parts so that my heart hurts seeing it. The part that I am from remains what I remember, but going to the major city causes distress at the state of things.

He was decent at the pitch and everything, but I am street smart and could smell the bullshit immediately.

The other guy who was working in a gas station would have been a great mark that hit all the qualities of someone that would have chased the promise of a better life the dude was trying to sell us. I really hope he cut and ran and is doing well.

Hopefully some young or desperate person reads the story and remembers it when they get approached for an MLM.

Heatwaves, you look like a conservative that left their family.

We are saying the same thing, I was oversimplifying though.

The profile is based on the voltage of the battery, the capacity, and the permissible amp draw. The actual voltage reading informs the device of the real remaining capacity because the device can’t read capacity and can only infer it based on historic data compared against the profile. Battery temperature is also a throttling factor, but we don’t need to get that far into the battery management weeds.

The one where the government is less relevant to me living my life unless my actions infringe upon the natural rights of others and more relevant the bigger a company or organization gets.

People are only against facism when it isn’t their preferred form of facism.

The battery has a capacity reading down to the milivolts and the phone knows how much power it is using, which changes dynamically to meet the usage. The remaining battery level is determined by the voltage available at the current consumption. There is some averaging involved based on your usage profile.

So your battery level is accurate at a given time, but changes based on what you are doing and what you have running. So your battery will drain faster if you are playing an intensive game, but will last far longer if you have nothing unessential running and the screen is in sleep mode.

Apps like Facebook, chew through battery in the background because of how often it has to use resources to check for notifications, when when you don’t actually have the app open or in the recent apps list. So your battery will lose charge faster than you would expect when you haven’t been on your phone.

so, naw lil bro.

In my early 20s while working a shit retail job, I was approached by a Ukrainian man in a cheap suit that was trying to recruit me for a marketing and sales job. I come from some money, so I know a nice suit when I see one; his suit was not terrible, but it wasn’t tailored/bespoke. So I knew he was trying to convey success, but was not successful.

We met at a Starbucks and talked about the work vaguely, he handed me some CDs that were speeches given by higher ups in the company. He also gave me a website to look at the products they offer and a sample of the caffeine-free “energy” drink they sold. It sounded off and I already knew it was part of a scam of some sort. We parted ways and I gave them a listen. The drink was about a generic and unremarkable health drink that included every buzzword of the 2010s healthy energy drink alternatives that never seemed to make it out of the first half of that decade.

The speeches were about success and business stuff. Very much screamed grifter motivational stuff that said nothing about the business.

He wanted to meet again and get my thoughts. He had not asked for money, he had not presented me with a contract or anything, so I wanted to see how deep the rabbit hole went. He described the job as being an independent business owner in direct digital marketing(giant red flag terms). He invited me to a “business meeting” at a hotel where I would learn more.

I showed up and I saw a lot of people in cheap suits, maybe a half dozen were in tailed suits and designer dresses. It was a hotel convention hall with a few hundred in the audience, the majority of which looked like they were grabbed from a low-paying job like me and the gas station worker that was also invited by the same guy as me.

There were a few speeches and a few explainations of the business structure and how you make more money. There was a lot of talking about how successful they were, how much their life changed, and how great their lives became. It was a pyramid scheme, a legal one, but just barely.

After, the guy I was talking to and his wife sat down with the other guy he invited and myself to chat about the next step. Dude tried really hard to hype everything up and convey excitement while he pitched the deal to us. He made the mistake of asking me what I thought after asking the other guy, who was excited. I told him that it was a pyramid scheme. The suit acted dumb and didn’t understand what a pyramid scheme was. I borrowed a pen and drew a diagram on a napkin of the “business structure”. He continued to play dumb and defended it, claiming that it is his business and it is legitimate. He humble bragged about buying his car in cash(a Chrysler 300) and how him and his wife are doing really well while the ticking Rolex told me how well he was actually doing. (If you didn’t know, a real Rolex second hand does not tick, it glides.)

I had obviously crushed the other invitee’s dreams of having a mansion, a luxury car, and vacations to tropical beaches with a trophy wife. At least I hope I did and he went on to live a modest life of joyous contention with mediocrity instead of chasing a lie that would require roping in anyone foolish enough to fall for the scam.

We concluded the conversation and I ghosted him, keeping like 6 of his CDs lol. I honestly don’t remember the name of the company. I think it was an Amway derivative, but I might be misremembering.

I’m not talking about armed security for ICE, it is stuff like mall security patrol as a uniformed officer or uniformed policed security for a highschool football game.

You wouldn’t be doing guard duty for Alligator Alcatraz, that is handled by on-duty people.

You don’t NEED military experience or a college degree to apply.

During the selection process extra points are awarded for military and degree. So you are at a disadvantage in being selected that trumps excellent test scores if you have neither.

You can’t just sign up to be ICE. They want you to be a LEO with 2 years experience before you apply to ICE. So you have like 4-6 months of training plus 2 years as a cop, plus 13 weeks for ICE training before you can do what you feel you must. They will prefer experienced LEO, so 5+ years of experience.

Just getting into LEO in most places requires you to have former military experience plus a college degree that is preferably related to law enforcement. If you have no Military experience and no degree, you are at a huge disadvantage in the hiring process regardless of your exam and interview results. Like out of 800 applicants for 5 spots, you wouldn’t be in the top 200.

Not to mention you could be tried and convicted with prejudice for leaks and you would have to carry out enforcement actions all the same.

You are better off voting for what you want. Flipping congress blue in the mid-terms would do more to further your beliefs than spending 3 years of your life to just be thrown in prison for longer than this administration is in office.

You are not considering the overtime, which is where LEO makes bank.

There are also off-hours work where you act as armed security. You would want to be deputized with state or county so you can wear those uniforms, for fairly obvious reasons in the current political climate. It doesn’t matter if you are actively undermining ICE, you are still ICE and will be treated as such.

Speed Queen, preferably a used from 2020 from before they switched from mechanical controls but the newer electric controls are better than the competition.

A constantly changing schedule would be detrimental to me cooking, that might be the case for you as well. I need the oppressive clock to say it is time to cook dinner and if the time when I need to cook dinner keeps changing, I will forget to cook dinner and end up doing a quick meal of BS just so I can sleep.

You can also try meal prep, that is just to give you a meal that is as convenient as ramen during the week with a low daily time commitment. The idea of it may be kind of daunting, but it is just a bunch of smaller steps that you can AD4K off between without much issue.

Roblox.

You can plan a terrorist attack or play one of the many sponsored games run by a child grooming group.

Realistically, you could experience all the game content in like 200 hours. Even faster if you know higher level players that can help you, which a lot of higher level players will help you. That is a lot of content without the limitations that purposefully slow progression down like you see in MMOs. Keep in mind that you don’t need the game subscription to play the game and don’t need to spend any money in the game to play and get the endgame content.

It isn’t until you are trying to grind out getting certain things that your playtime skyrockets, but that is true with a real MMO.

On the subject of the community and players helping players, the community is pretty great. I have dragged lower level players through the hardest part of the game and taken them from level 20(you can start the game at level 1 or 20) to over level 100(there is no max level) in an afternoon with no detriment to my enjoyment. I have given newer players thousands of scrap, hundreds of legendary mods, and hundreds of thousands of caps worth of item plans that you can on get with RNG grinds.

I am not exceptional, I am pretty typical for the high level players. Since we have “nothing left” to do in the game and understand the meta, pretty much everything has lost value. We will buy overpriced stuff for sale in player vendors just because we want to get rid of caps and it takes us minutes to go from 1k caps to the 40k cap limit due to the value of the “crap” we have in our stash. Some players can’t hit the cap limit in hundreds of hours of play. It could take you hours to get enough material to make 2k of ammo(that you can burn through in an hour) and we will give you 10k of that ammo or enough materials to make 10k and not even notice the loss because we know how to net gain ammo.

Compared to gacha games and actual MMOs, FO76 is far better in terms of cost in terms of time and money, also the community is very helpful to new players.

That makes zero business sense. Bethesda would never make money on throwing away thousands or tens of thousands of man-hours on that. They would spend more on a remaster, but they would make money in the end.

The Oblivion remaster sold more in two weeks than Oblivion made in a year. It sold more copies in April alone than the original did in 15 months.

Those graphics are ass compared to what could be done today. Just look in the leap from Oblivion to the remaster. Morrowind making a jump in graphics would be monumental.
