Then explain what OP did wrong, in a non-derogatory way, give them alternatives to what they could say instead of just demeaning them.
Know what makes people look REALLY REALLY dumb? Talking down to people that don't know better. Besides if you're so smart, why don't you educate the ignorant without insulting them?
You took a good teaching opportunity and made yourself look 1,000 times dumber.
How about getting off your high horse and try helping people learn instead of insulting people to sooth your superiority complex.
The cordcutters subreddit was really nice, users constantly engaging in talks about better alternatives to cable/internet/streaming options.
The lemmy version is like an aquarium full of dead fish that nobody cares to clean out. The only 'poster' is a 'news' bot that just spams every article from cordcutters.com (most of which are just advertisements for deals/discounts).
At this point even ghost towns have more presence and/or engagement. If you block the 'news' bot, there's next-to-nothing there.
Man I think you nailed it masterfully. I would send this to a coworker with absolutely no regrets.
An old Mionix Zibal 60. I need to replace the switch on the F2 key cause the peg broke off (still usable but it can't have a keycap now). Thing's awesome, and heavy enough to kill a man (one advertising point was: "rage proof" lol). I've had it almost a decade and I don't think I'll ever move on from it.
Every person involved in a conversation has to be able to hear each other speak. The only one listening to your videos is you.
If you had earphones, you wouldn't need to listen to their discussion anyway, as the earphones would take care of both problems simultaneously, making you the only one that hears your videos, and making sure you can't hear other people's conversations.
Being considerate won't get you noticed, but being inconsiderate certainly will, in all the wrong ways.
Even more depressing when you think about how, overtime is extra money that they're losing by making you work.
At my job (pizza place, so maybe bad example), we have effectively only 2 night time managers, which means at the end of the week, whoever has the most hours goes home first, so that franchisee doesn't have to pay the extra money.
"so why not just close early if it costs owner too much to pay you?"
Well, because. Just because, that's all. Last time I cut orders at 5-or-10-to-close, the next day our owner (who I usually only see twice a year for MAYBE 20mins) came in and said I'd be fired if it happened again.
People with money don't give a single fraction of a flying freaky fuck about their employees. Unfortunately for me, I work in one of the (ten poorest) states in the US that enforces 'right-to-work' laws, which I recently learned, don't mean that you have the right to work, but instead means my employer is under no legal or contractual obligation to recognize, let alone pay Union fees.
Unionizing isn't illegal, but good luck finding anybody that will do anything pro-union in one of those places.
Imagine being young enough that your parents know what browser history is 😬
Inb4 "stfu millennial" or something? 🤔
Lol @ using that mental gymnastic to pretend you won an argument. People say don't feed the trolls but if nobody gave the monkeys peanuts they wouldn't dance like fools for our amusement.
You're welcome, monkey.
