Ok, you "get it", then. It's super hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced psychedelics before.

Once the party aspect of psychedelics wore off, I started using them in a more controlled atmosphere. Actively seeking out and resolving my years of baggage has been a hell of an experience in more ways than one. It's been extremely healthy, but difficult sometimes. At the end of the day, it has been totally worth it.

For me, psychedelics are perfect for my age. There is a ton of wisdom and experience I have now that makes self-reflection much more productive. Needless to say, ego dissolution has a much more profound impact now than it would of had when I was younger.

And of course, you must absolutely do you. I can absolutely respect that! (Just try to quit smoking, m'kay?)

I have moved exclusively to Juuls and maybe smoke a regular cigarette once a week or so, if that. I was a pack a day person for a good 15 years, so transitioning was odd. Quitting drinking completely was a good start in reducing my nicotine use, for sure.

While everyone should find their own path in breaking an addiction, I am going to experiment with psilocybin for completely breaking my addiction. I can't really explain how it might work, but I have 100% confidence that I will be able to metaphorically flip that switch off and not think twice about it. It's helped me get more healthy in numerous ways already but I have purposely put off quitting nicotine since I actually like the novelty of smoking (or vaping) still. Fair warning: It's not for everyone nor is it legal for everyone. If you go on a trip with the intent to poke around in your own brain, you are going to need to be prepared to confront anything that comes up, and there will be things that come up.

Doesn't matter. Regardless of what Unity said their "Enterprise" plan was, it doesn't matter.

B2B deals just work differently since both companies have more at stake. If a company like EA used Unity, there is no way Unity would want to lose that contract and EA couldn't afford to drop Unity. Large companies will likely go through a few short renegotiation meetings, if that.

Plus, lawyers. If Unity even tries to force this on its larger customers, they are going to be hauled into court and most likely lose. When they lose, Unity will likely be liable for court costs as well.

Not everything is accurate that I said or believed 7 years ago, no.

However, when a person builds a business on habitual over-promising, then it is an issue. Speculation is awesome! Telling people what they want to hear, because money, isn't awesome.

Larger companies are extremely siloed. I would imagine that Google is even worse since it has some very distinct business separations. (ie: Alphabet is "not" Google)

When mass layoffs happen, there are still going to be other lines of business that are hiring. People can get fired from one, talk to a recruiter and walk to another business.

Edit: In some weird cases, a single group could be forced to meet layoff AND hiring requirements. That only makes sense at the executive level where they are looking at numbers as a whole and not the line-level logic.

My experience is isolated to large US banks though. Layoffs were more like a huge game of musical chairs rather than thousands of people actually leaving the company.

Edit: It's also super easy to bury a single persons grievances as well. Sure, there could have been some nasty things happening at work, but retaliation by mixing up someone into a mass layoff is also a thing.

Once the sub-business layoffs are done and people have found a new seat, recruiting and HR are next in the crosshairs.

This is not always the case! However, it is common for mega-corps, in my personal experience.

Yeah.

The columns are squished together so the titles are basically one word and the data creates a ton of empty space. The colors should be lighter shades. White on yellow is just annoying. The row separators don't extend to the row header, so it is easy to get lost when trying to compare the actual data.

My eyes just get confused and nope out.

It is theorized now that heat was actually an issue for the steel bore cap that was shot by a nuke at over 150,000 mph, which very much exceeds escape velocity.

While its more or less of a joke about "shooting a manhole cover into space", some think that at least a tiny bit of that bore cap could have made it.

It's was more in jest than anything else.

You know that you are on asklemmy, right? Someone asks a question, and then other people might answer it. It's a brilliant concept.

You literally do not have to care and nobody will say anything if you don't. Nobody gives a flying fuck that you don't care or even cared about your existence up until this point. Most of us probably cared more about you than your own mother, to be honest. But yet, here you are. You had to ask that question like OP disturbed your jerk off session or something.

All you had to do is keep sliding that shit stained finger of yours up about another inch to completely scroll past this awkward situation. But no. You had to let the entire world know that you were here with those two words you probably had to run spell check on a dozen times.

An underground nuke can launch a manhole cover fairly well.

I saw that shit all the time before I deleted my account. If you have seen a decline in quality since I deleted my account after Muskrat took over, that place must be absolutely fucked these days.
