Might be fun to have fiction that exposes this stuff - that giving coy, five-word responses to concerns of the organization doesn’t actually make someone a good leader.

So, Lower Decks but for LOTR?

DragonTypeWyvern ,

I DEMAND to know Aragorn’s tax policy.

You want a divine monarchy, Tolkien? Fine. At least prove it’s an effective one!

rockerface ,

Sounds like something that would be in Pratchett’s Discworld, somewhere

mindbleach ,

Probably not Ankh-Morpork, because Vetenari is nothing if not competent.

rockerface ,

But they also have the Unseen University

“Wipe them out. All of them.”

“Yeah alright, look, what I’m saying is we’re trying, but it’s not really that easy. The Jedi are scattered all across the galaxy and they have that weird force magic to boot, no offense…”

jsomae , in This pisses me off so much

I hate that people never say “bye” on the phone.

MutilationWave ,

I say it sometimes. Is “aight” a good enough bye, what about “later”? Sometimes if it’s a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

allywilson ,

I say bye all the time. Every phone coversation.

yokonzo ,

Nah, same for the work calls

jsomae ,

Nah, I don’t think “aight” suffices, but “aight, later!” would work.

noisefree ,

You have to tell them that you love them, everytime, or it’s not even close to a proper bye. That’s how you get an in with the HR folks really quickly so you know that they have your back. Work on easy mode, more or less. Like and subscribe for more social lifehacks.

wieson ,

Are you even allowed to end a phone convo without 20 byes and 30 ciaos?

DNOS ,

What Is ciaos ? Is It commonly used also in english or are you an Undercover italian ? 🤔

wieson ,

I’m German, but we use ciao all the time (we spell it tschau)

Slovene ,

Same in Slovenia. Čau!

DNOS ,

That’s curious I knew some German gettings but never heard of it … Seems most languages have a similar one somehow kinda cool …

Brickardo ,

South American here, same thing, we write it down chau

nilloc ,

One of the best parts from Spaced (Simon Pegg & Jessica Stevenson’s season show from the early 2000s).

jsomae ,

Oh, do they say bye in that show? …and that’s the best part?

The fact that thus is a real product…

jose1324 , in Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

It’s definitely not the best we have

Ibuthyr , in Nuclear isn't perfect, but it is the best we have right now.

But we don’t really have it now, which is the main problem. In the time it takes to build these things (also for the money it takes), we could plaster everything full with renewables and come up with a decentralized storage solution. Plus, being dependent on Kazachstan for fissile material seems very… stupid?

meowMix2525 , in hip boi reppin that style from when he was 2

Huh? Quick search shows that Oliver Tree is 30 years old, so birth year ~1994 or so. The jazz design came out in 1992 and was widely available through the early 2000s, by solo cup after they purchased it from sweetheart cup in 2004… I really don’t see how he shouldn’t know where the design came from, but regardless it’s become a pop culture/nostalgia symbol because it’s just a good, widely recognizable design. What else does he need to know?

@apocalypticat@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a color pattern, what more does he need to know? This one is reaching hard with the gatekeeping.

edit: not knocking the iconic 90’s pattern, I actually dig the guy’s look despite his young age and perceived lack of exposure to the design

Imgonnatrythis ,

Punk probably doesn’t even know who Gina Ekiss even is.

I think she likes jazz.

Not just any pattern, is the Solo cup “Jazz” design from the 90s.

Call people? For database software??? I’ll install postgres from my private dark corner tyvm

shalafi , in I wish this wasn't a real thing

Worked tech support for an ISP. The tech side was well managed and smart. (Left when that changed.)

The customer service side fielded TV and account related calls. They were driven by average calls times. What a cluster. Guess who straight hung up on customers when the call went too long? Some people would call be 4-5 times.

Meanwhile, we could take all the time it took to resolve. A 1-hour call is way cheaper than rolling a truck. Yet some assholes would roll trucks for nothing, then bitch there were no trucks left.

ericbomb OP ,

Heh, yeah but my metrics don’t care about how many trucks I roll! Just how long my calls are! “Modem restart didn’t work? Truck will be on its way.” “Modem restart didn’t work? Truck will be on its way.” X100

100 calls an hour BABY.

uebquauntbez , in Biden admits to taking drugs before the debate.

Just imagine for a short … Biden takes drugs. AND still has the better answers to all our problems than this un-drugged (?!) 3yo mind in a slightly younger body. Wouldn’t THAT be a real game changer? Shouldn’t DJT then too use drugs? No?

mcqtom ,

Politics is so team sports, they even think performance enhancing drugs are a bad idea.

eldavi ,

i wish he was on drugs; maybe he would have done better.
