r/Java Mods: Please keep homework help out of here by johnl1479in java

[–]mockindignant 3 points4 points ago

My vote is that the homework posts are fine.

Using your logic, how would you justify any JVM related posts being allowed here as opposed to /r/jvm

Star Wars the Old Republic - Smuggler Sawbones Low Level Voidstar {Comments Appreciated} by durden12390in swtor

[–]mockindignant 0 points1 point ago

I stopped after 30 seconds due to the low quality. Any chance you can upload a 720p version? Hard to see what is happening with the artifacting that occurs on 480p in full screen mode.

EDIT: 1 tip I can give you that should make a nice difference, go into your settings and make it so you can move your camera back much farther than what you have, this way you can see more of what is going on.

EDIT 2: I will watch the higher def version as soon as it is available.

Have you ever had sex with someone half your age? Twice your age? How old were you and what happened? by pullovermanin AskReddit

[–]mockindignant -2 points-1 points ago

If you claim to be famous, this community generally does not believe you until you provide proof. Maybe all of his stories are real, but they seem to be fake and he is not doing anything but acting pissed that we are not taking his word for it. Hard for me to feel bad for him, he is acting like a dick.

If he wanted anonymity he should not have opened the door by saying he is famous. It's all a lie to me until he proves otherwise, and I felt this way before any of this e-drama went down.

DISCLOSURE: I am a famous millionaire. In case you don't believe me, let me prove it to you: Yes, I am.

My girlfriend won't tell me what I did wrong by Whackadush4242in relationships

[–]mockindignant 0 points1 point ago

You are not a mind reader. So unless she wants to tell you what you did, the best thing you can do is to go about your business as usual. If she wants to be a child, she can be one, but it doesn't mean you have to participate in these sorts of puerile antics.

Marauder PvP: Rage - Anyone Use this? by islander1in swtor

A guide for juggernauts/guardian, not marauders/sentinels. There is some useful information still, but it's not entirely apples to apples.

1.3 to include group finder, add augment slots, dynamic gear. No ranked pvp/8mans. by TorBoardin swtor

[–]mockindignant 6 points7 points ago

I did not get a free month because they felt they owed me due to their goof. I got a free month so they could inflate their subscriber numbers on their earnings call so they look better on paper for EA earlier this week.

I understand why they pulled it. Why do I feel like a second class citizen? They have made life for those who prefer to PVP progressively worse, while adding very little content (Novare Coast is all that they have added since launch) and failing at other content (Illum). Meanwhile the PVEers get new operations, new gear, new pets, new titles and a bunch of bullshit legacy crap.

Meanwhile I have seen ALL of the meaningful improvements descoped and postponed now repeatedly (8 man queue groups, ranked warzones, etc). So in summary: PVE players got a lot of stuff, PVPers got a system that rewards leaving games, less comms, less valor, less xp.

1.3 to include group finder, add augment slots, dynamic gear. No ranked pvp/8mans. by TorBoardin swtor

[–]mockindignant 0 points1 point ago*

Right, but they can't expect to keep PVPers while they have to sit and watch as they spend all of these resources adding stuff for PVEers patch after patch.

It's not that they are not living up to their word, it's that they are treating a decent percentage of their player base as second class citizens.

1.3 to include group finder, add augment slots, dynamic gear. No ranked pvp/8mans. by TorBoardin swtor

[–]mockindignant -5 points-4 points ago

After 1.2 launched, I immediately cancelled my sub, and filled out the form letting them know that as someone who primarily PVPs that I would not give them any money until they demonstrated that PVPers were just as valuable as PVEers to them.

They gave me a free month so I have continued to play, despite how much they really screwed up PVP in 1.2. Now I see this. It's almost like they want all of us to cancel and go play Guild Wars 2 (which has the best world vs world pvp I have seen in any game).

I feel like they don't give a shit about me as a player because their actions very CLEARLY demonstrate that I am a second class citizen.

It's time for /r/portland survey 4! (these are the same questions, I just can only collect 100 at a time) by workworkbin Portland

[–]mockindignant 2 points3 points ago

I am able to vote on this one even though I already voted on the last one, so it would appear all of the data is already meaningless. Why are you creating multiple? Is this due to a limitation on the surveymonkey site? If so seems like we can just use another site.

is there any point learning the implementation of the Java API? by qaiszer0in java

[–]mockindignant 6 points7 points ago

The authors of the language are smarter and have a lot more experience and a deeper understanding than most. You can learn a lot by looking at the code they produce.

Where did my Free 30 days go? by MZMHin swtor

[–]mockindignant 1 point2 points ago*

From what I found on the forums, it appears the free 30 days does not get credited until the 25th or so.

Affectionate friend is endlessly confusing by confusingfriendin relationship_advice

[–]mockindignant 5 points6 points ago

  • She told you that she has a boyfriend multiple times.
  • She is getting all that she wants from you, you want more. Do you think this is going to end well?
  • Are you really going to be comfortable dating someone who cheated on their boyfriend to be with you? How long until you become the boyfriend that was cheated on.

If you do end up getting together with her, let me know next time you leave town so I know its OK to go cuddle and flirt with her, because by your actions clearly you think it's cool for guys to do this with women who have boyfriends.

I like my boss, not sure what to do. by ilikemybossin relationship_advice

[–]mockindignant 1 point2 points ago

I would not do it if I were you. If I were her, I definitely would not do it. The fact that she is your boss means all you really have to do is imply that there was a quid pro quo and she is liable for sexual harassment. This is textbook. She could lose her job, very easily. And you could lose yours.

If you do decide to ask her out, you had best familiarize yourself with your workplaces policy on this, it is often required that you report to HR stuff like this beforehand. Yeah I know, this sounds crazy that you would have to report something personal, but since it involves 2 coworkers it effects everyone indirectly.

Say goodbye to the free rail zone and hello to a flat $2.50 fare. by triadfatein Portland

[–]mockindignant -1 points0 points ago

I disagree somewhat:

1.) I will. Sure not all the time, but you bet I will if it's pouring rain or I need to get somewhere faster than I could on foot.

2a.) Why will people drive more? They are still going to have to park and pay for gas--most of the free spots are inconvenient and were previously most accessible by....you guessed it--free transit.

2b.) Sure people will, lots of people will spend money downtown. People that are gainfully employed with excess money to spend. These are the same people that don't mind dropping $2.50 for a ride of convenience.

I agree with some of your other points in this thread. Like for instance, where did they get their numbers from? I think there are better ways to accomplish this, but I also don't think this is as terrible as everyone makes it out to be. What solution do you have that accounts for the budget shortfall and leaves fareless square in tact?

I've silenced C2-N2 and you can too. by ArrogantGodin swtor

[–]mockindignant 20 points21 points ago

Cautionary Note: You do not know how this will react with respect to the next patch. What happens when the checksums for these files do not match the expected values? I am pretty sure when people were modifying the loading screens they had issues at upgrade. I do not know either way, but I think coming and posting stuff like this without properly having tested all scenarios is really irresponsible, especially without posting some sort of a warning.

I met our local werewolf last night. Seems like a cool guy. by TroyPDXin Portland

[–]mockindignant -1 points0 points ago*

Holy shit, I went to college with his brother. I watched a few things with him when they premiered on TV. Off the top of my head one was an x-files episode and another was some terrible straight to TV Steven Seagal movie. Since then I saw him in 24 and one or 2 other things that escape me, I have not seen Grim yet.

Good to see he is still making it in the biz.

With a great girl, she still hangs out with her recent ex, problems. by greenteamgoin relationship_advice

[–]mockindignant 0 points1 point ago

You don't have to put up with this shit. You have voiced your displeasure and she does not see the need to change her ways. So your choices are accept it or move on. It's really that easy.

Women of Reddt: If you found out that your boyfriend was apart of the Seduction community and regularly researched strategies on how to pick up women, would you look down on him for it? by YellowBlackbird-in relationship_advice

[–]mockindignant 2 points3 points ago

I think the seduction community is a mixed bag. Some of the popular "gurus" have a pretty healthy message that encourages people to improve on themselves and develop a lifestyle that is attractive to women. Others really just focus on how to meet women and get them into bed.

I don't know why you got into the seduction community, only you can answer that, but I don't think either of those reasons is something to be embarrassed about. In fact I think it shows a certain amount of proactivity: you identified a problem in your life and actively worked to improve on it. Men like sex, any woman who is surprised and turned off by a men who pursue sex is pretty naive. So in my opinion you have nothing to be embarrassed about.

I am pretty certain I took care of this situation in an adult way, yet I'm the "bad guy"? by EmotionalMillionairein relationship_advice

Yeah, it's hard for me to think of any answer, when I put myself in his shoes, that doesn't start with, "I don't give a shit."

He put his pants on, like us, one leg at a time. Except once his pants were on, he makes gold records.
