Good article, but the bit about airline customers being only slightly less likely to use the airline they hate is hardly something you can blame on customers.

If the alternatives either don’t exist (e.g., United is the only feasible route between city A and City B), or they are both shitty (Delta is just as shitty as United, so the fact that United breaks guitars doesn’t mean I’m more likely to pick Delta), then poor customer service is just the cost of existing.

Same situation as price gouging, or Apple vs Google, Ford vs Chevy, or Samsung vs LG. Yeah, you have options, but none of them respect you. So you can not travel, not communicate, and not be entertained, or you can “voluntarily” participate in what society has become.

I feel like I just need to watch someone use it… and then will still wonder what the point is and why an interior platform has so much more traffic.

When did selling a product instead of a subscription become a bad business model?

Edit: I have a lot of trouble believing that a product that could theoretically have value to every person on the planet for current and every future generations, that can’t be passed along used or resold, couldn’t develop a successful sustainable business model.

Note it’s the second part, but they’re both interesting.

Depending on the company this is exactly the argument I’m favor of lying about a degree: the hiring manager doesn’t care, and HR is checking a box.

Whether or not it’s a “good” idea in terms of efficacy is probably based on too many unknowns. It’s all a crapshoot anyway in terms of the random shit that a resume can be filtered for.

Do you have a source we can reference for that particular bit of shitbaggery?

Edit: congressional report on the shit bags in question:

Certainly isn’t closed but it’s a great step.

Good point, should have the cluster size from #3, just offset.

The best kind of regulation.

Free reign for the oligarchs to fuck shit up and permanently establish industry, then add just enough to box out potential competition.

Maybe the dust cloud will help the survivors cool off?

Bigoted Animus?

Sounds like the next big conservative influencer.

Thank you, they’ve been ruining search results since the day SEO was coined.

For most people the consequences of this action will be too far away to understand the connection, so it’s a pretty good target for the US Republican party.

SLC has it tougher than most urban areas surrounded by rural religious blight.

In similar vein to what others have posted:

I think you’re describing a combination of stress and preoccupation. I suggest looking into mindfulness as a way to start helping with both.

If it’s more than that and you have healthcare, both a Dr visit and psychiatry visit to discuss with a professional could be helpful.

This is part of why penalties have maximums.

They could easily charge $200/file with a cap of $5M. Slap in the wrist for Facebook, ruinous for almost everyone else.

I suspect the point is not wether it is true but that it could be a message along the lines of a headline like “Does Tesla have a bedbug problem?”

Provide a public service?

I get where you’re coming from, but just like with the single day, people have to start somewhere.

These events can help people break habits and find alternatives without something as big as “never again”.

He would be a billionaire if he didn’t give so much away.
