I think you’re about to find out just how much people care lol

Oof I don’t even want to know what kind of forever chemicals are leaching into the food in that pic…

I use it, I just tip way more than anyone else in my area tips. Mostly out of guilt, partially out of solidarity for the working person. I like to think my order at bumps that avg hourly rate up at bit.

That’s the paradox… When shit works well, ignorant people think we don’t need the shit that makes everything work well anymore.

Usually people like this start with the conclusion, and then search only for things that reinforce that (and ignore anything that conflicts). So, chances are, he wanted to believe that for whatever reason, so he sought reinforcement for that stupid idea. And found it.

Because most people are completely scientifically illiterate and do not understand the analogy you’re making because they don’t know what “atmosphere” is.

Oh, I am well aware of C++. But I assure you that they were not referencing that when selling this goofy shit to consumers in the early 90s. I think it’s just a really bad logo.

Lol… Why don’t you look up what % of scientific breakthroughs in the US are government funded.

Oops.

It’s really fucking ignorant to competely disregard a peer reviewed, scientific study, simply because the URL in which it’s posted on, contains “gov”. Grow up.

I bet you made that dude’s day when you told him that.

Unrelated, but anyone remember “VCR+”? Man I’m old…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_recorder_scheduling_code

Edit: I guess it was actually “VCR Plus+” which is dumb af (it’s not a C++ reference. I assure you that the marketing people at the time had no idea what that was. I’m 99% it was just a bad logo that has “plus” and a ‘+’).

Only semi-related, but interesting study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3805041/

Nice.

I hope the photographer snapped a few photos. Seems like a once in a lifetime situation.

That’s great. Hopefully that was a formative memory for that kid… I’ve had one or two moments when I was a young teen, where I had to have a friend break a hard truth to me about my behavior/attitude, and I still remember it because he was absolutely right and just being aware of it made a huge difference from that point forward. I still think about what he said sometimes.

I only wish someone had said something sooner…

Honestly, as someone who has held similar customer-facing positions when he was younger: it’s interactions like these that keep you going. It’s even better when it’s a government agency, because they’re not trying to turn a profit so they’re not going to bend over backwards to make a rich person happy.

The best is when people like this demand to speak to a superior, and then the superior comes over and says the exact same shit the employee just did.

Imagine thinking someone who works at the DMV gives a single shit who you are lol

Nice…

However, poor parents would have likely gone to prison and had their children taken away from them.

Is this AI?

The photo of the shitty Logitech controller will never not make me laugh… Anyone who has ever handled a controller before knows those things are absolute garbage lol
