How do I insert myself in this triangle?

In a similar vein if you apply to a job, do you prefer being ghosted or a rejection email?

As a serious question: would you rather no email when no updates or an email saying no updates?

I guess I’d rather the email to not wonder if something got lost or some other issue.

Now the multiple in one day: I can’t really defend. That seems nutty. Maybe they should let you choose how often to get the given update.

It’s weird to me. As long as the people speaking to each other understand each other that’s what should matter. We shouldn’t limit folks.

I once was in a meeting and was told they’ll speak Polish instead of English since I was the only non Polish speaker.

I no longer had to attend that daily meeting so that was nice.

Another time I was forwarded an email at work. I opened it but couldn’t understand the thread. The two people in the thread were speaking Portuguese and forgot that I didn’t.

They then happily translated and we had a good laugh about it.

The only time it’s uncomfortable for me is if people are talking about me, but like I have no reason to think they’re doing that so no problem.

I have double vision (diplopia).

It’s kind of a super power when I think about it… but not really.

I look at it a bit but then throw it out at the same time since I’ve heard that they’ll invalidate the warranty for water damage even if the IP rating says it should have handled it.

Maybe? Not sure. I’m in the USA and we have em.

Entrance videos for wrestlers. I hate when it’s just static text with their name.

Somehow I’ve had the same Vizio for over 10 years now. Still works great.

Upvoted. This is something I learned rather recently. Sometimes it’s more performant to slowly leak than it would be to free properly. Then take x amount of time to restart every n amount of time.

Yeah we should celebrate the return of the Easter Bunny more than Santa.

RDR2 almost did that to me at the end

I doubt they’ll call it a failure regardless of how it does.

If anything it’s a great money maker for WWE. How’s it a failure for them by any means? They’re making more for giving less. They can sell the library elsewhere to make more. Unless you’re speculating it’s a failure for ESPN in which case it remains to be seen.

WWE could care less if people buy the PLEs since they have a guaranteed payment from the deal.

They’re also towards the (seemingly) tail end of a hot period that lasted around the same, if not, longer than the attitude era. It was also even more profitable even accounting for inflation.

WWE has no reason to worry until the last year or so of the new deal. Nothing matters until then. They will make a ton of money and be immensely profitable.

Edit: Content and the cost being worth it is continually debated and yet sports continually pay more in rights fees while everything else seemingly gets less. This falls close enough to sports to fall in the loss-leader category of wanting to have the programming for prestige to build the brand as opposed to directly making money.

Think about sports rights and events like that. Millions of dollars in rights fees that don’t get made back even in advertising, etc. It means a lot for station X to have something like the NBA, how much it means to have WWE PLEs remain to be seen for ESPN.

I once had a QA engineer file a bug saying they couldn’t do negative testing since negative numbers were converted to positive.

The function took an unsigned integer. Took a lot of explaining to get them to understand that negative testing isn’t necessarily negative numbers.

GNU make is confusing as hell and shouldn’t be used in today’s world.
