I have noticed that the higher up the chain of command you go the less and less they are able to write coherent sentences.

I get emails from managers and they'll say things like: take look at this tickt ITX0004891 neds fixing asap

Then go incommunicado for the rest of the week so I can't get any follow-up

I value Wikipedia and appreciate what they do is important but they have plenty of money. If you are in the financial situation to donate and want to great but I get a bit sick of the guilt tripping they do. They claimed every day for the past decade that they're about to go out of business any moment now.

Conservatism has always been fascism adjacent. It's just a cover for selfishness it's not actually a political belief. Especially in the US especially in the last decade or so. Trump didn't come out of a vacuum, the conditions had to be right for someone like him to be able to be appealing.

Do they even vaccinate against polio anymore I'm pretty sure I've never had a polio vaccine and I am pretty sure it's extinct isn't it?

Online banking does this all of the time. It's surprising how little you can actually do on their app, virtually every common banking task requires you to call them.

I had to call them to set up an automatic payment on my credit card from my savings account. Because I couldn't work out how to do it on the app. I confirmed with the support agent that you can't do it on the app.

For me the solution is simply to just not own a printer. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had to print something in the last year. Anyway that's what parents are for, their house is where you store things you only occasionally want.

I already do all of those. I'm not looking to quit, I'm just not going to do work I'm not being compensated for.

My bosses must be smarter than the most them because they refuse to ever put anything in writing.

I'm not sure I understand what he's complaining about, don't we constantly talk about how these people are fascists? Like isn't that the lens through which we view this?

I suppose their arguement is that they are the official government sanctioned privacy invaders and so what they do is ok.

If they hadn't broken so much stuff and unnecessarily trashed the place they would probably have some sort of point.

I'm actually surprised he had so much cash.

I've known a few very wealthy people even 1 millionaire (it was the most stereotypical millionaire ever he was 100% sleeping with his secretary) and they never have cash on them. Their average weekly expenses are so high that they would never want to have to carry that much money around with them.

So it's sort of old that he had 5k just sitting in one of his pockets.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
