People just wanna complain. They don't want solutions.

Yup best way is to let them ring. Sending them to voice-mail or answering tells them it's still an active line. After a few weeks of letting the spam calls go through I barely get them anymore.

They're forcing people to come back into the office AND doing hot desking, which means they aren't getting any of the supposed benefits of going back to the office.

The primary argument for going back to the office is the in-person collaboration. But if half of your team is Monday / Wednesday swapping desks with the other half on Tuesdays / Thursdays you just have inferior remote work.

And, what measurable difference do you perceive with the Google page instead?

Seems like a bit of an overreaction, asking two people to work at one desk. Have they sold off property? Wouldn’t it be easy for a tech company that deals heavily in on-line services to ask people to work from home? Maybe stop paying execs 8-9 figures? I don’t know, just a couple of ideas.

It's not a fine, it's a patent lawsuit over a ridiculous patent.

There is no other actual discussion, why would anyone discuss opinions you form by just going with what kinda feels right?

Anyhow, this point it's pretty clear I'm basically talking to an advanced parrot, you can say the words but there's no real human thought behind them. I'm not wasting more time on that.

Yeah... no. ISPs isn't struggling to upgrade with the funding at all. They're just greedy and making excuses.

With any luck its gonna be the ol POWERED BY DEAD SOULS or some shit

"Santa doesn't exist"

"oh yeah, show me every chimney in the world then or you're just a liar"

Women have more self-esteem issues in most societies throughout most of time.. hold on, let me get you a list of all of time. Do you know what pedantry means?

That part makes me feel loved and protected though

> you can boot the ISO off a USB

I am not familiar with ISO, will need to figure out what you are suggesting. (Sorry, I have decades of PC experience but not that type of technical expertise.)

Keep believing in Santa my friend, i'm sure if you look through every single chimney in the world you'll find him 😂

That's proving a negative, i.e. the nonexistent of Santa. You made a positive claim that you can't prove.

It's so intellectually lazy, it's like saying "based off evidence we don't think Santa is true", but you want a camera in every chimney, Pedantry at its best.

If you are being intellectually honest with yourself and you can't think of one culture, maybe there's a problem

Did they get rid of the quirk where it gaslights and threatens users and where it wants to take control of nuclear weapons?

That's not proving a negative. You've said teenage girls have body image issues in every culture, so show me the data on body image issues in every culture. Or just admit you don't know if that's actually true.
