Yeah nearly every time they end up on my side.

My latest issue that didn’t help at all with with a Verizon call to a CSR in India. She was a human robot reading a script. Didn’t listen to me at all just following her prompts. An AI would’ve done a better job.

There’s also people stealing (even reselling) necessities like toothpaste, deodorant and laundry detergent.

When I have an issue with a corp and have to talk to a human I start with an apology to that individual.

“Hey I have an issue with X about Y, but I have nothing against you as a person. You’re just trying to do your job and probably deal with a ton of verbal abuse. I apologize in advance if I get upset or use crude language during this call. Be aware that I’m not upset at you I’m upset at the company policies.”

If you ever see someone stealing food.
No you didn’t.

I’ve seen shoplifters stealing granola bars or chips before. Not said a word.

Stealing electronics? Fuck that person.

To reinforce this my health teacher in high school (early 2000s) had a few classes on self image and self love.

This included an exercise to look at yourself in the mirror and say to yourself “you look good” and mean it.

Regardless of how you feel because everyone should be proud of who they are. Even if you have pimples or bags under your eyes you should love yourself.

Badass teacher.

Careful she doesn’t follow you home anyways. Head pats are a commitment.

That’s still pretty accurate!!

Sending this to my wife…

Oh nice post. I totally have this.

Treatment: Reasurance

Its okay. You’re not dying. Calm down.

The pain is agitated by expansion and contraction of the chest. Taking a deep breath and allowing the rib cage to fully expand can relieve the pain, however it will feel unpleasant initially. At the point of full expansion, it can feel like a rubber band snap in the chest, after which the initial pain subsides.

Oh I gotta try this.

Oh I’m totally doing this. Thanks!!

Oh it looks like they added native support for docker just last year!

Jebus man… I can’t even imagine that…

That said male toys are pretty good.
Get a full scale torso.

Yeah it’s from the dark early days of the web. Up there with the bathtub one.

If it’s recent I can usually find it from my profile upvotes.

Worked for finding a comic I wanted to share in a relevant conversation days after upvoting it.

That is correct. Most people run a dedicated server on thier gaming rig.

I just wanted the excuse to setup a home server.
