I used to play WoW and recently quit bc of several, several issues I had with the game + the company at large. It was like D4 opened my eyes. I personally won’t be spending anymore money with them.

Feels like too little too late? Especially since they lied about what they were going to deliver. After this + Diablo 4, I really do not understand how people continue to give them money.

Well no lol you gotta read the room sometimes 😅

It’s good that OP means well, but also there are so many of us who do not care and are not affected because we know the speaker is using a generalized term and isn’t (usually) being malicious with it. I call several of my cisgender girl friends “dude” and “bro” and I’ll call men “girl” as a joke sometimes (like, girl what are you doing?). Many of these terms simply have completely lost their original gendered meaning in a lot of contexts.

I’m AFAB enby, saying “you guys” and calling me “dude” is fine. Those to me aren’t gendered anymore. The people who get offended at general terms like these for groups of people need to touch grass.

But if you’re dead set on it, embrace y’all lol. Just don’t say it with a southern drawl and you’ll be fine. It’s a fantastic gender neutral term. You can also just train yourself not to add in the “you guys” to the “what’s up” phrase, and maybe just say “what’s up with you?” “What’s up with you all?” Etc.

See I work in imaging and it’s mostly pointless for us. Maybe if I did nursing I could see the benefits. We even have procedures but I can see all that information in Epic. I genuinely do see some benefits to it but I think it gets overdone with meetings etc.

It also doesn’t help that at huddle they talk about things that don’t relate to me really. I don’t care about hospital census or the three day metric they just started using for appointments. Most of it just doesn’t apply to me, and doesn’t help me to do my job. Like oh goodie there’s 30 people here with COVID, nice! That doesn’t help me at all with me 09:00 patient.

I swear some of these managers don’t even have two brain cells to rub together

Any time I’ve heard of Scrum being implemented, it’s usually a negative thing. I’ve had a few friends where their workplace tries it, and the smart ones usually drop it. The others just lose people instead. Biggest complaint I’ve seen is the daily meetings that 110% could have been an email. I think it just doesn’t get applied “correctly”.

Why we don’t see it elsewhere is it’s not really applicable elsewhere in a lot of ways. I work in healthcare and I do not know how that would be implemented into my job. It’s not like we have team goals or projects even, we’re just out here scanning patient’s and processing their images. I’m sure management has goals but we’re so short staffed that I don’t pay any attention to it. I’ve got more important things to worry about than patient satisfaction scores or how many open appointments we have.

Especially with all the price increases + lots of them showing ads anyway? I’m good. Time to put my eyepatch back on and get out on the seven seas bc I ain’t doing this anymore.

Yeah in the past it was fine but now it’s unusable bc they absolutely want you to download their dumb app. No thank you.

I uninstalled the app bc it just didn’t have enough accessibility features and sucked in general. It doesn’t even hold a candle to what Apollo was (RIP). The mobile site being dogshit is by design. You can’t even post pictures on it, I had to request the desktop site in order to post pics, and I wasn’t on a sub that bans photo posts. You also can’t access the chat on it really. It makes everything as difficult as possible to get you to use the app. They want all that data they can collect from you from the app.

So that’s why I uninstalled and now barely get on Reddit at all. They went from getting my traffic + my ad revenue to nothing bc they refuse to make their mobile site useable, and I use adblockers on desktop. They get nothing from me now (except of course free shit to train their Ai with)

Same with the fanfiction. No one knows that I write a bunch of it, but I have 2 friends who know I read it only bc they read it too. But neither know I write. I’d die I think if they ever read my stuff so I just don’t want them to know. It’s my one little anon hobby that’s just for me.

How would I go about doing that? I’d like to wipe my shit from over there before I outright delete my account.

Most places use this sort of software (at least, larger companies). I have worked with doctors who refused to use it and instead developed templates for common items they copied + pasted into the MAR software / PACS, etc., and they just type what they need. That’s what they did before dictation software existed anyway. It’s not as efficient, but it’s basically the only way to avoid this.

This isn’t new, my last apartment did this. Their internet was mediocre at best, and I couldn’t afford to just do my own AND pay for the forced upon me internet.

So many of my fave artists already left for Bluesky or they also post on tumblr. The reason to have an actual twitter account keeps dwindling by the day.
