Leadership cites not being able to buy more than two yachts as the cause.

“Research” in want of a conclusion, at least from the article’s perspective. Card stacking fallacy at work.

Call centers have been axed or trimmed at many places, including IKEA, Duolingo, Best Buy, etc. Who wrote this, the Wizard of Oz?

Edit: The research stems from Chicago School of Business and not in an economic or rigorously scientific field. Funding came in part from a “Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence” and a “Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation”.

Take those as you may.

And mileage on your vehicle. That’s a lot of mileage.

First they came for…

Move up the list.

They came for…

They are coming for us all. Act accordingly.

I’m glad that such a shitty situation ended up being OK for your mom. ✌️ Fuck corporate America. I have so many stories from my old job like this. Leadership will handwring in their third homes and yachts.

That’s a grin I’d like to punch off his face. Nazi scum.

Fuck Trump.

In the US, they just lay you off and say sorry we have to make sacrifices. No cause, no nothing.

Halloween copaganda is really getting out of control!

In 2008 before the crash I was coerced into buying a house I couldn’t afford by an ex. Back then, they would give mortgages to anyone with a pulse, and no that’s not good. It should be good but in the context of that moment it was really really bad. After the crash the house went under water metaphorically and literally and totally ruined my life. Don’t do things you don’t want to do folks, trust your gut.

Yes, I know.

Also, how often are Google Earth satellite photos updated? Sleuthing on months old satellite images is not sleuthing.

Yep, Occam’s razor says that it is a pile of wood or debris and that TikTok sleuths no better than Reddit sleuths.

What the utter fuck.

I use other forms of text communication which are better than SMS and include various voice options.

The famous quote about Nazis, “First they came for…” is being realized at intense pacing.

Fuck fascists and their garbage Nazi AI injection into government systems. All Nazis are garbage and the exception to the rule about acceptance and inclusion. GTFO!

Good to see you!

Gosh I hope but Bethesda’s Radiant AI in Oblivion made for some real weird and unique NPC interactions. It gave that game its charm, IMO. Skyrims is different and just porting the game to Skyrim’s Creation Engine might lose some of that weird charm.

Same. Some of the great storytellers were such. Many of them have/had editors! Still, my bleary eyes were not prepared.
