- Comment on What is the name of the sexuality of being into the opposite gender and willing to date the same gender but not finding anyone of the same gender attractive? 9 hours ago:
Do you know people like this? Dating someone you’re not romantically interested in is basically just being friends.
- Comment on It's infinitely worse to be the oldest you'll ever be than the youngest you'll ever be. 1 day ago:
You don’t usually remember either, so it’s basically a moot point.
- Comment on I wish they'd stop calling themselves Conservatives 1 day ago:
No, it’s not just classism. They hate anyone who isn’t a rich straight white male. That’s a minimum of 4 different demographics.

He is a moron, so I wouldn’t put it past him

Those are some serious slippers if they weigh a pound each.

No, it’s bigotry. They don’t just hate other races.
- Comment on How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.? 5 days ago:
No, doctors can’t pass info between each other without your written approval, due to HIPAA. If you’re drug seeking, you won’t sign the release forms.

Yeah, colors are just whatever the simulation decided it should be

It’s a take that apparently requires a lack of reading comprehension on your part.
- Comment on why do some straight people deny their loved ones’ homosexuality? (keyword: SOME) 1 week ago:
The funny thing is I bet he’s also the kind of guy to call a straight woman a lesbian if she rejects him too.
- Comment on why do some straight people deny their loved ones’ homosexuality? (keyword: SOME) 1 week ago:
That’s just narcissism. Can’t comprehend someone not being into them.
- Comment on Psychology 1 week ago:
The biggest issue is that every brain is different, and you can’t slap absolutes on that. One study may be completely accurate, but with their specific sample.
- Comment on I still got it 1 week ago:
Reminds me more of Musk
- Comment on is telling an employee how he has to speak micromanaging? Is it toxic? 1 week ago:
People who are very knowledgeable in their field often have trouble “dumbing” things down. They make a lot of assumptions of base level knowledge that genpop doesn’t possess.
I admit that I was that way for a while with IT, but I guess my mother being a teacher left me with the skill of being able to relate my knowledge to something they’re familiar with.
It got easier once I realized that if everyone possessed the knowledge that I do, I’d be out of a job. Also made dealing with tech illiterate people much easier.

He wasn’t aiming at Trump. It was all for that photo OP
- Comment on HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback' 1 week ago:
Right, but that’s just your experience as an agent. I was the one managing all of the campaigns for a global call center in the dialing platform, building the IVRs, etc, so I got to become familiar with many dozens of campaigns. Even ones that were supposed to just be customer service usually had something they were supposed to push.
Like was said, only customer service doesn’t generate revenue, so companies often try to recoup that cost.
- Comment on HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback' 1 week ago:
Having spent the first 8 years of my career in a call center, it’s fairly common.

Not even ancestors, like their grandparents would be devistated
- Comment on HP ditches 15-minute wait time policy due to 'feedback' 1 week ago:
Nah, call centers do generate income because they force their support agents to try to up sell you on other products and services.
- Comment on HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls 1 week ago:
Yeah, that was my reason for calling too, but I just gave up after 6 hours.

They still have some catching up to do if they want to be as bad as Microsoft.
Did you know they stop playing hold music after 3 hours?
- Comment on Hacker group releases updated tool to activate almost all modern Microsoft software 1 week ago:
They benefit by having the small guy only know their products, which forces the big businesses to buy it.
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 1 week ago:
Because children are almost always used as an excuse for hating something you don’t really understand. They’re a group that can’t speak for themselves, so it’s easy to frame everything as “think of the children”.
- Comment on Why there is no photos of earth from space? 1 week ago:
Instead of answering your question, I’d like to ask one.
What would be the purpose of faking pictures of the earth from space?
If there is a massive conspiracy to flood the internet with fake pictures from space, someone has to stand to gain a lot from it.
