Representatives for the internet provider she had used in her old apartment initially told her they couldn’t cancel her account because there was no last name associated with it.
She had been paying the company for months. She has since switched internet providers.
Are people this silly? Just stop paying them. They’ll figure out how to cancel the account.
Are there really people capable of understanding this who aren’t capable of understanding, for example, “tariffs increase inflation”?
Again? I thought income inequality already upended it.
If climate change upends it again, doesn’t that mean it would be right-side-up?
To be fair, when the poem was written we were getting our asses kicked and survival was not assured.
If you look at the events of the moment, the significant part is the “not getting killed” part.
If things had gone differently, we could all be speaking English today!
I see a dog eat dog world and think, “Can we be a better example to follow?” These folks see a dog eat dog world, and think, “How terrible. We’d better start chewing.”
I suppose in my path to agnosticism I picked up the wrong lessons from the church my mom took me too.
Time to break out the straw hat and bib overalls.
Maybe even blacken a few teeth.
My dad, whenever someone would bang their head, or stub their toe, or hit their thumb with a hammer, would say, “doesn’t it feel good when you stop?”
That’s kind of how I feel about programming. It’s like repeatedly hitting yourself in the head with a hammer because it feels so good when you stop. I’m so addicted to the feeling of solving the problem, that I keep seeking out problems to torture myself with.
Ironically, if you really wanted to make healthcare CEOs safer, you’d set up a hotline for people who have been denied medical coverage.
Hope leads to peace, despair leads to bullets.
I’m descended from an officer killed by the British in the American revolution.
My parents and my brother all voted for Trump.
They aren’t saying you won’t get anesthesia. That would be wrong.
You just have to pay the bill when you wake up.
I see that “snitches get stitches” is still in effect in Philly.
This post gives me “people don’t want to work anymore” vibes.
Another way to look at it is, people don’t want to pay people to work anymore. Either the pay is such shit that the employees have no incentive to give a crap, or the employer doesn’t hire enough people to get the work done.
If only there was some government organization in place that could propose and pass legislation to limit the TSA.
My first computer didn’t have hard drive at all. 5.25" floppy drives.
My first PC with a hard drive used an ST-506 interface w/molex and data and control cables. 40MB. I couldn’t imagine ever filling the whole thing.
It’s all so much easier now.
Damn, I’m old.
So, one more item in the “Pro” column for voting against Trump.
Then maybe we can work on fixing the problems here.
Someone once posted that rather than calling it Christian Nationalism, we should call it Nationalist Christianity, because it has a convenient and easy to remember abbreviation: Nat.C.
Wear gloves when they hand you that guideline because they might be pulling it out of their ass.
I’ve often thought LLMs could replace all of the C-suites and upper and middle management.
Funny how no companies push that as a possibility.
If you find out what happened, let me know, because I think it’s happening to me too.
If we weren’t so rich, we couldn’t afford to imprison so much of our population!
