Uh…so they’re giving people years of weapons and hand to hand combat training and then fucking up their ability to retire in a quiet dignified way?
That is… Not how I would have handled that situation.
Edit: I’m just… processing that people can make stupider choices than I thought possible.
This feels like the “poking a sleeping bear for no clear reason” special kind of stupid.
I’m not sure if Disney could keep their mobile app working if their lives depended on it..
Browsing their recent reviews has a “1 star: please fix your shit” theme surprisingly often for an app published by a media giant.
I find it hard to imagine that the surprisingly frequent runs of 1-star “please fix your shit” reviews are balancing out to 4.4 star average without purchased bot account positive reviews.
It is staggering to watch unfold.
I cannot think of any previous example of such a large company utterly failing to attract the bare minimum talent needed to build and maintain the most fundamental part of their product.
Thank you for reading my Ted Talk. I don’t know what my point is, other than Disney has bought so much of their competitors that they feel they don’t even need to reliably deliver on their flagship product subscription.
Americans can head down there to pick crops.
I can also mow lawns, and make a pretty decent cheeseburger. So I feel like I’ve got options if I’m allowed to visit seasonally to work.
(Edit: Since tone is hard in text. This is meant sincerely. I’ll do what is needed to feed myself, same as any immigrant, if I’m allowed to, when the time comes. Immigrant workers deserve respect and legal protections.)
It also could be they’re both liars and incompetent.
That would be one hell of a recruiting move, for any deity that feels low on converts.
if they want a document printed they just go out to some print shop.
In fairness, it can be expensive to stock the holy water necessary to fend off the demons that inhabit all printers.
I text my friends. I assume that everyone else just thinks I died.
The move between seeing “your brother in law took the kids to the zoo” to “your brother in law liked this trash article” was such a jarring transition.
It was awful.
“Oh, look. He’s a little bit racist. Now I get to know that. Thanks Facebook.”
Exactly! If I’m not clutching the mute button for dear life, an I really having a relaxing movie night?
Yes. It’s been a few years since I countered a video game that didn’t have separate volume sliders for dialog, for music, and for all others sounds.
I’ll wait and see if they can add some AI to it. But if they can, I’ll invest my entire life savings.
I see you subscribe to the Wolfwood school of pacifism: “I didn’t kill anyone!”
Yes. Web apps existed before JavaScript.
Yes. That’s what AI actually adds - plausible deniability.
“If Aramark can afford to pay you $18.7 million in compensation and provide nearly $100 million in dividends for your wealthy shareholders,” Sanders wrote to Zillmer, “it can afford to pay all of your workers a living wage and not threaten to take away their jobs and their income with faceless Mashgin touchscreen computers.”
I agree with you in all but conclusion.
Three President’s character does not deserve it’s own fucking spin-off, but hey - when you have legendary voice actor Keith David, you gotta roll with it.
My partner and I used to use location sharing pretty much 100% of the time. We just felt better knowing we could find each other.
But today, we do not, because the trust is shattered.
Google just cannot be trusted with our locations.
We need to get scientific about this.
We can take action. We can grab the die that Joel McHale has tossed into the air.
