I can live with hold music even for an hour because I can keep it in the background.
The absolute WORST is when they play some music for 30 seconds, then the music stops, cutting to some voice recording peddling some bullshit like “try out [Product]!” or “Use our new mobile app!”. I can’t focus on anything else with it in the background because I think each time it cuts the CSR might have picked up the line.
I admit I don’t stand for that anymore. Every time I am told the person I need to speak to is working remotely or something I just remind them that they should have that sorted out by March 2020.
What I especially hate about those is that the VO is always on the “I’m super happy to tell you this” level, which just makes it ten times worse since it’s a fucking ad.
That’s because they had to put the Elon’s Twitter sign. Which is why I am not big fan of this kind of old school satire. It’s a little on the nose Everything has to have signs, subtitles and arrows so even the dumbest people can understand them. While I understand the need for that, it makes the jokes fall flat for me.
I’m pretty sure the intent when upvotes and downvotes were created was to use them in regards to relevance. Is the topic about ducks and someone is going off about jeeps? Downvote. Is the community about posting DIY peanut butter but someone keeps posting Skippy™? Downvote.
It shouldn’t have anything to do with agreeing, effort, or anything like that. Just a way to keep the topic/community on track.
I’m kinda glad we downvote the things we disagree with. Whether on topic or not, shit opinions don’t deserve to be displayed with the same prominence as reasonable opinions.
And that’s how a community become an echo chamber. Also assuming any opinion you agree with is reasonable and those you disagree with is shitty is silly…
This is silly though, isn’t it? Most people think most things that they disagree with are low quality by nature of being something they disagree with.
Whatever was intended for them, IMO upvotes and downvotes work because everyone just uses them however they want, and the sum total of everyone doing that averages out to a somewhat passable quality sorting system. Trying to tell people how to use their upvotes and downvotes is just yelling into the wind.
Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you’re downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion.
From reddiquette. You are not supposed to downvote people you disagree with so long as they are contributing to the discussion. I’m not sure if I ever saw this guide line followed in my ten years of Reddit though.
Intent is irrelevant. Humans don’t work that way and will continue to downvote what they don’t like/agree with and upvote what they do like/agree with. Creating a system that ignores how people work and asking them to please use it how you want will never work.
Everyone should just embrace how it’s actually used and move on.
That’s because the government has had tech way beyond even what we have today. They just peace-meal it out to us bro. They’ve been coordinating mass propaganda against us 1984 style since like. Before 1984.
Also. The government is so incompetent they can’t provide health care better than private insurance companies. Obviously.
They won’t provide or create the framework for proper health care in the US because private health care is a very effective extortion scheme that can pay for the laws they want.
And the pharma companies like it like that.
"Oh, you like living? Too bad you live in the US, where we will charge you 10x what everyone else in the world pays for the insulin you need to survive. Pay up or die.
There is a reason the US has the most expensive health care system in the world, while the health care system quality using objective criteria,l is usually around rank 40-60, below practically all western countries, below cuba and comparable to Armenia or Morocco.
You're not wrong, but I think the above poster was sarcastically pointing out that people who believe that the government is highly coordinated and competent don't trust the government to run healthcare because it's too uncoordinated and incompetent. Both incredibly strong and also laughably weak.
It isn’t outrageous that you have them, the problem is you keep them in an illuminated bookcase in your living room and keep wanting to feature them as part of the tour.
Only reason you have a marker butthole is because you ain’t eating enough fiber motha fucka. Get some fiber powder and drink that shit bro wtf don’t spread misinformation like you spread your ass to shoot water up there to enema douche the bit of poop you left pinched off up your buttholy hole because you ain’t eating some God damn fiber my man!! EAT FIBER YO POO BE ONE BIG OL UNBREAKABLE LINK ITS WONDERFUL 👍
My butthole is a marker unless I get a whiff of fiber, at which point it turns into a firehose. The only time I get a decent poop is when my diet is mostly sugar, cheese, and meat.
Look it’s just kid slang. Just because I have a cotton candy flavored condom in my pocket, three packets of cherry lube, a six pack of wine coolers and 12 pack of birthday cake vodka shots doesn’t mean it’s any different from when I use a piece of rabbit skin I rub on my dick every night to fall asleep.
Admittedly, you look and sound much older than I remember but you’re still 14 right?
Aww, lay off Jonathan. He’s a pioneer for gay rights, which is much more than can be said for any of you lot.
Due to his advanced age, Jonathan spends his days doing almost everything with his mate, including eating, sleeping and mating… The sex of Frederica, … his companion since 1991, was cast into doubt in 2017 when island veterinarian Catherine Man indicated that due to a deformity of its plastron its sex could not be verified,[4] and is now known to be male, being renamed Frederik.
