My job involves a lot of travel.
Guy that got hired on with me with, largely because he missed his family so much when he was out of town.
Guy that replaced him non-stop complains about his wife and kid, always wants to work OT and out of town to get away from them.
Guess that’s what the company is after.

“your tactics” is still like, several notches above a sane take on what OP actually posted. This is not a remotely problematic post.

And videos with still images of text with an animated clip-art border and sound use even more!

Hey, nice fix.
Only thing I’d look at is maybe adding a slope to the little protruding rectangle, so the model can be printed on its front/ back side without supports or losing quality on the first few layers of the notch. Based on the complete photo, it looks like only the lower side of the rectangle that’s resting on the monitor needs to be there, you can make that a small angled lip instead of the block.

- Comment on The season of giving 4 weeks ago:
Full disclosure, am also on the spectrum so I may have got some things wrong here, but I think I can explain.
People think it’s funny when other people look like other things, and get frustrated when they themselves look like other things. I think this stems from the fact that once the comparison is made, it is hard to take the person seriously without thinking of the other thing.
Weird analogy that just came to mind: imagine you book a tour to some World War II museum. You get there, and your groups tour guide is dressed as spongebob, or Spider-Man or something. They’re an excellent tour guide, and know their shit, but you’d have to be thinking to yourself, “why is Spider-Man telling me about some of the worst crimes against humanity?”, and that thought would be kinda funny.
Now imagine your 20-something year old daughter is bantering with you and teasing you about your old man/ lady style. In the middle of the conversation, you see an ad for Encanto on the TV, and realize that your daughter looks exactly like the cartoonish and silly (not “stupid” silly that’s just how I describe the style) character in the movie. And you say, “why am I getting roasted by Mirabel?”, that’d be pretty funny.
“Roasting” and “sick burns” are one of those “insulting each other as friends” things NTs are more skilled at doing and understanding than we typically are. It can of course go too far or be taken the wrong way but I don’t think the person in the OP felt genuinely wronged or that the joke was mean spirited.
I hope I could help! Let me know if you’re still questioning it, and maybe I can try to clarify

There’s a 0% chance the tiktok generation avoids using nukes on itself.
As much as we hate the ‘old guard’ and as much damage as they continue to do to the world, in a way they are protecting us.
There is no way the tiktok/instagram/twitter generation has enough foresight and appreciation for human life to avoid pushing the nuclear button when they’re in control.
Can you point out the parts that aren’t about generations? Because the first paragraph is a single sentence about “the Tok Tok generation”, the second paragraph is a single sentence about the “old guard” generation, and the last paragraph is, well, a single sentence about the “Tik Tok / Instagram / Twitter generation”.
You’re correct, there are in fact other words in your post besides “generation”, but all three sentences are literally only about how the next generation is too XYZ compared to the previous one.
Telling people to read your post again while giving zero additional context doesn’t make everyone else go, “wow that guy is so dumb for not understanding the clearly written post! OP is smart and cool!” it just kind of proves to everyone that you’re talking out of your ass and can’t explain your position.

Nah. Lol has been part of the “texting based dictionary” for a good minute, it’s like putting “haha”. I’m near 30 and this definitely predates gen-x

many kinds of trucks that can drive over many types of terrain
truck that can handle any kinds of undeveloped forest
Again, not what I said. A second hand F150 or Tacoma will get you damn near anywhere you want to go that is not heavily forested and is certainly cheaper than a plot of land. You’re trying to pick minute details of my comments and blow them up into the most literal sense of the words yet somehow failing to actually read what I’m saying.
At this point the conversation is a day old and the chance of actually interesting dialogue coming from it is practically zero, so any further misreadings will have to be done on your own.

I think you need to walk away from the Internet for a second, friend. That’s some serious down-bad energy.

I was speaking figuratively, but if you want to be literal, I never said anything about a road, and there’s many kinds of trucks that can drive over many types of terrain.

People aren’t down voting because they don’t think the properties exist, they’re down voting because your argument doesn’t really make sense. People that are saying, “I’d rather just live in the wilderness” are not the ones that can afford to just purchase land. You almost will certainly have to pay taxes on the land as well.
Saying you can not participate in society by participating in society very hard so you can afford to participate a little less and a little further from society isn’t what these people are looking for, they want to hop in a truck with some tools, drive into the woods, never to be seen again. Without a million dollar piece of paper saying they’re allowed to.

Awesome! One of the biggest advantages of switching to a larger nozzle diameter is being able to print those larger layers. Cuts print time dramatically
