Is immigration colonisation?

Yeah because nobody eats that.

I would have no problem with AI if it could be useful.

The problem is no matter how many times I'm promised otherwise it cannot automate my job and talk to the idiots for me. It just hallucinates a random gibberish which is obviously unhealthful.

Oh I hate the people who open a ticket, provide basically no information at all, mark it urgent, and then when I call back within 15 minutes they don't answer. So I leave a voicemail, and they literally never call back.

I have one in my queue right now and the entirety of the ticket is simply "my outlook details are incorrect", I have absolutely no idea what she wants, if she doesn't answer tomorrow that ticket's getting closed.

My god it's been annoying people for 16 years and we still haven't come up with a solution. As a species we are doomed. That's why the aliens haven't contacted us, would be too annoying.

If anyone says hi to me I literally just ignore them until they say something actionable.

It's great because if they ever complain about it I can just say, oh I was busy so didn't immediately follow up and they never ever specified what they wanted.

I don't use email because it's the absolute worst UX ever developed. I don't think there was a single email provider that lays the messages out in a way I would like them laid out, i.e. in descending order, oldest to newest, with the newest on the bottom just like it's a text exchange. So I can follow the conversation.

Plus it gets really confusing if they start adding other people into the conversation halfway through. I don't see that conversation because it's a separate communique, and then they try and merge the two together and then I get a big long list, suddenly, of 5 days worth of messages, interspersed with my own messages to them, except now they're all out of sequence.

For all of its many many faults, at least Teams is actually visually coherent.

Plus of course I don't need that email signature telling me not to print the email at the end of every message, literally no one in the history of the human races ever printed an email so they don't need to tell me not to do it.

Absolutely none of what you're talking about here has anything to do with your own prior comment. I mean you are complaining that action is being taken against people that you think are authorian but apparently it's not the kind of action you'd like so you basically dismiss it.

Please explain how your negative attitude is helping anyone.

A general strike doesn't last for weeks. A strike and a general striker different things.

Striking workers are trying to change business decision, but if everyone participates in a general strike it causes enough damage in a day that it's effective. The threat is you'll do it again if things don't improve.

They didn't say what you said. They said that they think a general strike in a few days is unlikely to succeed.

Meanwhile you were complaining that not enough murder in is going to be a happening

That's why they had to import some from Venezuela.

 

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 is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

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