Yeah, I get that. I think it’s partially to do with how rarely I’ll have an actual issue. Also with their turnover rate, I rarely interact with the same tech twice.

I still do all the legwork to figure out if it’s something I can fix myself and always put specifics (Repro steps, Error Codes, etc.), but pulled back on listing every other step I’ve already tried.

I feel bad that my old job’s IT department would never trust me when I listed this amount of detail, so I stopped putting in the extra effort.

My ticket: I am not able to login using the standard portal. The error I recieve is X. I have already tried rebooting. I have confirmed that everything was fully plugged in and that I am on the correct network. I also already went through the normal recovery process which did not work. Here is the result, [X].

The first response from IT: Why don’t you try rebooting and then let me know if it’s working. If not, go through the normal recovery process.

Like, I get it, you’re being thorough and don’t want to just blindly trust the user, but I’m only talking to you because I already tried your quick fixes. Please understand.

Prices will continue to go up until the number of subscribers lost due to the price increase outweighs the additional profit from the subscribers who agree to pay the higher amount.

Capitalism machine goes brrrrrrr

Just don’t call anyone ‘cis’. That’s a crime punishable by ~~death ~~ account deletion.

I agree that those studies should be done. Studies should ALSO be done on people with unvaccinated covid infections, but we can’t do that on a large number of people, because they’re dead. The vaccinated people might have a ‘non-zero risk for blood clots’, but they’re still alive in the meantime.

He was surprisingly good at creating devastating nicknames for people that would cut them down to a single flaw. A lot of his path wasn’t to be the best candidate, but to ruin everyone else’s reputations.

But now when he’s falling asleep in his criminal trial on almost a daily basis, it’s hard for quips like “Sleepy Joe” to have the same effect. Or when he’s asking for Biden to be drug tested before the debate when he’s the one with the White House that was referred to as being “awash in speed”. It’s always been projection, but he isn’t able to distract everyone fast enough anymore.

This was the same reaction I had when the Covid vaccines were rolling out. “They haven’t been proven to be 100% safe and effective!” OK. Sure, but you know what is guaranteed to be bad for you? Covid. There are two choices here, and there’s a clear mitigation of harm with one option over the other.

It’s shocking that we’d rather see children die of treatable vitamin deficiencies than the off-chance that the food ‘might be unsafe’.

She was dropping her son off as school. Her son was still in the car. She drove into the bus lane accidentally. The officer’s response was that he was “scared she was going to run someone over” … while her son who goes to the school is in the car. You could verify that in a 5 second radio call to the front office.

We need to re-think policing in general if cops are allowed to enforce their worst fears instead of seeing what’s actually happening.

The Onion ran out of satire years ago. Now they’re just accurately reporting on real life stories.

No thanks!

That’s the fallacy called “whataboutism” where you point out other issues that exist as a reason to not solve the current problem we’re talking about.

She is a distraction. Ignore her.

Everyones a winner

Riiiight up until the Earth becomes uninhabitable for humans because we’re doing shit like destroying the Amazon rainforest for more cattle farmland, but sure!

“We’re still learning just how far we can push PC players.”

A whistleblower is the type of person to refuse such an NDA, regardless of buy-off price. They would understand that if Boeing is willing to pay them 10 million or whatever, that the information they have, should they release it, prevent over 10 million dollars worth of damages to the public.

I just don’t see someone like that committing suicide in a hotel parking lot out of state the day (two days?) before they are supposed to testify. That would go against everything they were doing up until that point.

They wouldn’t just… go home instead?

Care to elaborate?

It’s frustrating to no end that fingerprints and face ID are treated like passwords when they should be treated like usernames.

You realize that he’s a streamer and that playing games is his job, right?

Until watching a different member of the household step over it ONE TIME, at which point it becomes the #1 priority.

Help Help! My business model is illegal, but it makes SO MUCH money! What do I doooo?
