whoa, im not blaming impoverished people with poor english from taking customer service jobs… they’re doing what they can with what they have…

im saying customer service is already practically a black hole… just instead of an AI that doesn’t understand or help with your problem… and regurgitates pieces of a script inappropriately, we already have that right now but with humans.

this is already the case, except i can eventually reach a human that doesn’t understand english, reading an english script…
at least the AI won’t get frustrated and hang up on me.

protests like that really just serve to raise awareness…
let’s the government know people are very pissed, and let’s other pissed citizens know they’re not alone…
and makes unaware citizens aware of the problem…
it’s a great start, but doesn’t solve anything on its own

they always seems like generic, classical music drums, to me…
but you can dislike whatever you do, i don’t mind

“Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive flour brought by UN trucks”

well that’s about the most horrible thing ive ever heard of…

i’d have a hard time finding someone who’s opinion mattered less, on this subject…
i think right now Israel is putting an insane amount of money into propaganda…

it’s not going away on its own…
alternatively you could pay someone else to do it

(they don’t want to)

the timpanist union would like a word with you…

posts celebrating the Hamas massacre of October 7th minutes after it began

ah, so they all knew of the rapes minutes after the attack began and were celebrating it…
and it was rape, in particular, that they were celebrating…
thanks for clarifying that

if they want to

it’s not safe to stay out to shovel until Wednesday (when the temps and windchill will finally be above negative)

i grew up in michigan and, yeah i shoveled snow in negative temps when i was 12… it’s safe IF you bundle up properly.
some long johns, or even sweat pants, two pair of jeans… boots… (you can put breadbags over your socks if they leak or you don’t have boots…
tons of layers of shirts, a ski mask, and gloves…
no problem… you want the outermost layer to be waterproof/windproof…
trench coats are actually quite functional and not just for murderers hiding guns…
and the more you shovel, the more you warm up…
of course, if the wind is real bad it gets kinda pointless, but you can kinda throw the snow with the wind and it’ll fly away… (unless there’s not one prevailing direction of wind)
ummm… road salt is pretty important… sand helps too…
also the layers help when you fall down on the ice…
