The CEO never formally apologized for it either, at least with his few X posts.

I’m too busy responding to the ones for a free iPhone 23 to ever check those anyway.

I am pleasantly surprised at the episodes of old TV shows I’ve found there. I grew up with some very obscure direct to VHS movies/shows and was surprised to find many available there!

Definitely need to be uploaded there. We can’t trust Google to keep those up and available.

A relative of mine does and has had 2 versions of this Samsung one. He loves it.

I do not like it because the crease is extremely noticeable and is filled with dust and debris and very noticeable to sight and touch. I don’t have one but I was using his for a project he wanted me to do while he went out of town recently.

So don’t do shit that pisses off your customers and then you don’t have to worry about bad reviews, “review bombing” or not.

A company like Take Two has been in this industry long enough to know what customers like and don’t like and has no excuse to act like these negative reviews just are coming out of thin air, unrelated to the anti-consumer things they do in the games they release.

The Simpsons.

It’s been on so long that you’d never notice you’re quoting the show. That and they seem to be good at predicting the future.

Somewhat. We do work with people with Arabic accents which could explain that. But no one with a Caribbean accent and only one person I’m aware of who just started working with us with a French accent. But that’s an interesting theory.

She did wish some of our team members a happy Ramadan once I can remember. Not exactly confirmation as not just Muslims can wish someone that, but possible.

That’s an interesting theory and seems to line up with some other things I do know of her based on her location somewhat near the Caribbean. This is a possible theory with what little I know about her background.

I do this too when I can. It works so well but it’s not a guarantee with every avocado.

This is if you’re going to use the entire half of the avocado too, which I almost always do, if not the full fruit.

Oh the best is when the computer restarts after finishing the update and needs you to reboot again to finish updating.

I’m not kidding, this happened to me 3 times last week where it had me reboot an additional 2 more times after the first reboot to install updates.

I was just trying to shut down the computer.

Thank you for saying that. I agree.

I do have my limits that I was and am aware of that would make me want to pursue reporting her if it got that far. I felt uncomfortable and uneasy and still do a bit to this day, but don’t feel it warrants any official reports at this time. Thankfully we don’t interact in person which helps with a lot of that.

I have encountered that before. I remember a kid I went to school with, his family had come from the UK and he had a noticeable accent when speaking to his parents and sister but his accent changed whenever he spoke to us yanks.

That made sense to me and easily understood why he sounded that way depending on who he spoke to.

This coworker…it’s the same group of people each day she speaks to us and none of us have anything but the standard American accent.

Understood, thanks for the correction. I didn’t mean it in that way but I can see how that’s how it comes off and I’ll be more sensitive in the future.

Yeah that’s how I feel about it. Despite the nasty way she responded to me personally, I just try to imagine she may be in pain and leave it alone. Thankfully she did back off eventually.

I didn’t push back on her, but I had apologized for my mistake and she took the opportunity to reply with more unpleasant messages to each apology that I just decided to not say anything else which led to her stopping.

When they killed Apollo. Fuck using that shitty official app.

I would have tolerated ads if it meant Apollo still existing. I know Christian wouldn’t have made them as interrupting as Reddit does and the overall experience was wonderful.

Even at this time, this was an old computer. I remember the sticker on the front said it was built for Windows ME or one of the OSes from that era before Windows XP.

User complained that the computer was running very slow, slower than it realistically should.

I opened it up to clean it since I figured that was a good place to start.

The bottom of the chassis was disgusting. The dust had accumulated so much that it became a mound of dirt. And seated on top of the mound of dirt dust was a dead roach on its back.

Found literal bugs in the computer.

Second rule of IT: all users lie

The problem is when it is weaponized by corporations to bypass competition or by activists who are upset for one reason and get everyone to rally for an untrue reason.

Example: McDonalds has an employee write about their horrible experience working for Burger King which is a complete fabrication to get people to hate their competitor.

Example 2: supporters for Presidential candidate John Smith don’t like that Target has been donating to Smith‘s rival political party. Smith supporters fabricate untrue stories about Target’s working conditions to get people to boycott the store and hurt profits. This would lead to less money being available for donations from the store.

In all honesty, I do think Name and Shame is perfectly reasonable and should be done. But I still want to highlight some ways that it can be abused. I don’t think Reddit should use this as an excuse to forbid the practice but Reddit should do due diligence in proving the story is right like verifying an employee’s employment at the company they are shaming, for example.

You should still be able to bypass the email requirement when creating a Reddit account, right? The only useful purpose I see behind it for the user is if you forget your password.
