I always "forget" to bring cash so I don't have to split the bill evenly
 in  r/confession •  21d ago

Because you are nickel and diming your friends? Friendship is not about reciprocating to the cent, there’s inherent asymmetry in any relationship and that’s fine. The fact that the person you replied to is downvoted, that you can’t even comprehend to this idea, is so typically Reddit.

Request Recs for well written series?

26 Upvotes

By well written I don’t just mean prose, although that’s definitely a part of it. I’ve noticed a lot of progression fantasy has a very amateurish “tone,” for a lack of a better word, and I just can’t get past it.

An example of something I’m looking for is like Mother of Learning. The prose certainly isn’t good, but it has that oomph(groundedness? Believability? I’m not really sure how to describe it) that I’m looking for.

Series I loved: MoL, Cradle, Bastion, House of Blades

Series that I stopped midway: Arcane Accession, Mage errant, Dungeon Crawler Carl (it is well written, I just bounced off it), Iron Prince

Series I immediately stopped: Mark of the Fool, The summoner, Society of the sword, etc

Any recommendations similar to the first series I mentioned would be greatly appreciated.

AITA for refusing to share my bonus with my fiancée’s family?
 in  r/AITAH •  Dec 12 '24

Damn, you guys are incredibly self-centered. Relationships at times require sacrifice. Are you within your rights to not give them the money? Sure. But should you? Yeah probably, giving up a bonus (not even base salary you live off) to help your fiancé family in hard times seems pretty reasonable. At this point it’s not just “her family” it should be “our family.”

Is anyone else disappointed with Benedict Jacka’s An Inheritance of Magic?

9 Upvotes

As a preface I loved Alex Verus, and so I had high expectations coming in. However, I think it was a pretty big step backwards. The pacing was off, the characters (including the MC) felt flat, the world building a little uninspired, and it was oddly preachy at times (both about religion and class).

It’s odd because these are all things that Alex Verus excelled at. With Alex Verus I couldn’t put the book down; they were fun, fast paced, but with a real emotional impact and weight to it (including the themes of injustice of wealth and power Jacka was not so subtly trying to convey in this book), where the consequences of Alex’s actions slowly piled up. I felt none of that with an Inheritance of Magic, and even felt like it has a much less mature tone.

Does anybody else feel this way, or am I being overly critical?

Hiring managers who give L33tcode-style questions to candidates: Why do you give them and do you actually find it a helpful signal? To those who don't give them: why not and how do you int3rview your candidates instead?
 in  r/cscareerquestions •  Sep 29 '24

These seem like the worst type of interview questions. It’s all knowledge and memorization based rather than problem solving. I definitely am not an expert at C, but have worked with it last year, and have already forgotten the specific include.

Even if you hate leetcode, it does showcase a candidates problem solving approach and communication much better than these question.

This is just wrong you’re actually retarded. East Asian beauty standards value thinness much more than western, look at their models and actors.

85% of Neuralink implant wires are already detached, says patient

Don’t thank the neurologist, thank their teachers. Give the credit where it’s due.

Don’t thank their teachers, thank the farmers that allow for civilization to exist. Give the credit where it’s due.

Don’t thank the farmers thank the plants and farm animals. Give the credit where it’s due.

Do you see how stupid this line of thinking is? Elon at the very least has the value add of funding, but realistically at a minimum he is also helping with the company direction, marketing, networking, attracting talent, etc. It is extremely disingenuous and typical Redditor dogma to claim that he deserves no credit.
