I’ve tried to convince people that if we can have a No Nut November, we ought to be able to put together a No-Sales September or something. These mentally defective executives would absolutely go back to taking care of the customer if this were a practice.
A couple of years ago I had a conversation with a Haitian native on this very topic. While I deleted my reddit account and no longer have access to that conversation, the gist was…
Americans don’t seem to understand that every time they swoop in to ‘save’ Haiti, what they are really doing is enforcing the same colonial ideals that landed Haiti in the mess to start with.
There’s no politician in play down there that isn’t on the take. His opinion was just to leave it alone and let the gangs sort it out. Either they’ll pull together a government or the last gang standing will.
His statement had a lot more anger and quite a few expletives… They’re just sick of all of us, y’all.
Honestly I don’t know why people wear headphones at all outside. I mean, I get we should all be able to hear our tunes or podcasts or whatever, but unawareness of your surroundings can change your life for the worse very quickly.
I seem to recall an ad for some product in the last couple years that still lets you hear what’s around you with clarity while listening, though I can’t seem to find it now.
Edit: Maybe these? https://www.cnn.com/cnn-underscored/electronics/sony-linkbuds-earbuds-hear-your-surroundings
The reviews are iffy on them though. idk, I just don’t want noise cancellation until I’m someplace I’m going to be sitting in a long time that has sounds I don’t want to hear.
Another great story from our ‘no shit’ segment. Back to you Bob
I love how media is slowly moving away from “RTO is bullshit” to “It has some benefits but they’re taking it too far”. Next week it will be “What were we thinking? RTO is here to stay!”
As so many people have said, there’s plenty of jobs where this isn’t necessary at all. The conversation needs to stay focused on the flawed conceptions of corporate suits in an echo-chamber.
So it goes in the same bin as the last dozen ‘features’ they added that nobody wanted. Microsoft, do you even use your own product?

lmao just bought one of these last week! Glad the fix is already out.
And no, I didn’t buy it for its looks xD It’s actually a decent router that does additional things I needed.
Oh no… they’d have to sell >.>
I’ve seen this over and over in corporate environments.
Suit A has a terrible idea but enough fawning bootlickers to get the process moving.
Worker A, an employee, knows this is a terrible idea but doesn’t say anything because they wanna keep their job.
Contractor B, obv a contractor, is there to make money and hopefully turn their stint into something more, so they speak up. And get canned.
What is it about Suits that they can’t listen to literally anyone but their own echo chambers? Oh yeah, they’re angling to jump into a bigger echo chamber. The 1%.
“Well, BYE!”
Because you can’t pack it up in a box and ship it to just anyone. They have to make it specifically for you. Hence case-by-case.
Don’t think that exists anymore.
Can’t even be bothered with English.
There are no regulations prohibiting the use of RHD cars on public roads in the United States. As long as an automobile follows federal emissions and safety standards statutes, it can be licensed and used by anyone holding a driver’s license.
They banned Delicas too, god knows why. In the old days you could just take someone around back and give em a shiner and they’d straighten themselves out. Something’s rotten in RI.
“Will detonating this nuclear bomb set the atmosphere on fire?”
“Meh, probably not.”
When one of your soldiers is worth ten of theirs, you know you’ve won this exchange.
