Or blue.
- Comment on Ah, customer service 4 days ago:
In their defence its also a lot easier for me because I’m not in a call center, my calls arent recorded and I dont have scripts or churn times to adhere to. Customer service in a call center must absolutely be someones definition of hell.
I’ve point blank said to customers things like “Look, I appreciate that you’re upset. Please believe me that I am upset too, because I have to go ask that idiot why he did what he did, document the conversation and I guarantee you the answer wont be a clever one” and “This is definitely our fuckup, not that I should use language like that with customers but ‘mistake’ just doesnt cut it”
- Comment on Ah, customer service 4 days ago:
Customers are always pissed the first time you speak with them. When I have to call them I do a quick first call and let them know its immediately being worked on, ask them if theres any other information that might be helpful and Ill get back to them when I know something, they are ALWAYS better to deal with on the second call.
I do this because I can always get off the first call with “Respectfully, I’m not customer service. I’m the guy who fixes the problems and the longer I’m on this call is time I’m not fixing your problem. Now I need to go and I’ll call you as soon as I have a resolution”
People just want to be taken seriously.
- Comment on How accurate is this? 6 days ago:
You have way more chances to get back at shitty customers doing food service.
Get a cunty customer and you just smile a little too large, be a little too eager to fix their issue and let your eyes glint just a little. Then fix their issue exactly what they asked for with nothing wrong with it and untampered with. When you return to the table put a little too much emphasis on “Enjoy” when you give it to them.
They will spend the entire meal trying to figure out what you did or call the manager over and make a big scene about how you did something but cant point out what. Ruin my night, I’ll ruin yours.

Now this is a half remembered anecdote so… pinch of salt.
But I do remeber something about some people having negative reactions to the tannins in red wine. So it might not so much be the alcohol.
- Comment on Use to be saturday morning cartoons. Now its Saturday morning constitutional violations. 2 weeks ago:
I wake up in Australia every morning and check the news wondering if any of the headlines are going to be the 2026 Assassination of the Arch Duke Franz Ferdinand.
- Comment on Freezing soup in glass mason jars? 2 weeks ago:
Yep, also if you can do the initial freeze with the lid off thats also going to help prevent cracking.
- Comment on Why are they different shapes? 2 weeks ago:
The rectangular loaf was designed for packing efficiency. Once bakeries became a thing and moving bread over distances to supply people became more and more common bakers realised that bread isnt heavy, its bulky and packing efficiency was an easy way to reduce costs
- Comment on Do you have to deal with this during your morning commute? 3 weeks ago:
I fucking love cars.
I also want to be able to not be FORCED to drive one day in day out. I want a robust public transport network, a robust electric car network and a reasonable ownership proposal for limited ICE engines in enthusast cars.
- Comment on we need more users 4 weeks ago:
I posted in an ADHD community about how I’m fed up with managing my symptoms and I think I finally need to talk to a professional. Someone tried to blame my symptoms on capitalism.
As someone who simply left Reddit because they took away RIF and only stays here because I’m stubborn, Lemmy is the left wing version of Truth Social. A great deal of the users here are the absolute embodiment of the people from Sanfrancisco in South Park huffing each others farts about how progressive they are.
Like, I get it and I do agree in principle on most things with Lemmy which is the only reason I dont leave, but make no mistake THE FEDIVERSE IS AN ECHO CHAMBER.

Most of my 20s were spent being actively self destructive and I made it too.

I absolutely guarantee you he told that story to his friends with a huge smile.
- Comment on I can taste sounds 4 weeks ago:
People at work think I love energy drinks. No, I LOVE coffee, but if its not good enough to sit there and actually enjoy my coffee I dont want it, Ill take the can of “YOU ARE NOW WIDE THE FUCK AWAKE” if I cant have good coffee.

The Shite Stripe would be a great name for one of those guys in the one man band contraption trying to play covers of White Stripes songs.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 4 weeks ago:
Dr Mike from RP?

I love how Wheeler Walker Jr could have played it straight, he is a genuinely tallented musician. But nah… Suckin Dick and Kickin Ass.

One of the fitness people I follow has two apps and he regularly tells his viewers “You dont NEED my apps to get great results, you dont NEED to watch my videos either. I just think they both help. Now just subscribing as a member is just money for me so you should definitely do that”
Which is a level of influencer honesty I can definitely get behind.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 4 weeks ago:
A friend of mine lost his 4 generations old family home in some bushfires about 10 years ago. He will never admit it to his extended family but he says it was a blessing.
His house was full of shit that as nice as it was and the sentimental value of the huge dining table that great grandad built with the tree that got brought down in the storm in the top paddock in 32 was real. He felt like he couldnt change anything, couldnt sell anything and was stuck living in his grandparents house.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 1 month ago:
Yeah thats what I meant about “within their niche” They try and buy the shit themselves for their hobby and have a storefront and only rep for products they reasonably stand behind.
Doing the “to the masses” type products dropshipping is usually a losing game because theres always someone more unscrupulous who will do more underhanded shit to be 10c per item cheaper.
- Comment on Is there a real, actually working way to earn money online without having a job? 1 month ago:
I know people who have had good success with dropshipping but only within their hobby/interests niche. They freely admit that “This is the cheap chinese one but it gets the job done.” And word gets around that they are trustworthy and reliable.

Can I take it for a spin before we talk about if I want it or not?

Yeah ok mate. Have fun.
- Comment on it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet in oklahoma 1 month ago:
I’m Australian, Ive literally encountered them domesticated and in the wild hundreds of times in my life.
But if an American has seen a video I must be wrong.

They are essentially deer who get about on their back legs behavior wise.

Tactics was great. I wish there were sequels to it.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 2 months ago:
PDCAAS is essential knowledge for anyone trying to dial in a quality diet. Especially if aiming to build muscle or strength.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 months ago:
Whichever is cheaper.
- Comment on Is there an optimal home/apartment size that most people would be happy with? 2 months ago:
I would say you’re pretty much on the money only in the region of 1000sq for a single person being “optimal” once you take into account storage spaces, bathrooms, balconies, and so on. A kitchen for one and a bathroom is likely the same size as for a couple. A couple doesnt need a noticable amount more room than one person. Add kids and immediately double it… they have a lot of stuff.
- Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes 2 months ago:
In most countries if you can make a convincing argument about why you thought it would be allowed and can argue it with a straight face they arent interested in nailing you over it because it isnt worth their time.
I asked my accountant “Hey, when I take sick leave at work and I have to get a doctors certificate to get paid for those days, does that make the doctors visit a work expense?”
He said “Thats a legitimate enough argument that if you want me to I’ll put them on your return. Dont know if it would pass an audit but the reasoning is solid”
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 2 months ago:
I work outdoors in all weathers, in and out of vehicles and answering calls all day. 12 months is a good lifespan for one of my phones.
That being said I buy the cheapest phone samsung make every time. I can buy 10 of them for the price of a flagship S series.
