Oh yeah, agreed, it's definitely a problem. I once had to drive 4 hours on short notice because we had 3 guys covering the entire state of New Mexico, one was on a long call and the other was out sick. The on-site guy kept insisting that the outage was some arcane server issue he couldn't suss out himself, so I hit the road. But when I pulled up in the parking lot there was a fucking backhoe not 300' from the building that had clearly been digging where our fiber ran, and about 15 people standing around it scratching their heads. Worse, guy could see it from his fucking office window, and just.. never bothered to look outside I guess. I just took a picture of it that also showed the sign in front of the building, fired it off to him with a lengthy rant about his obliviousness, and went home. I had a list of incidents like this in my internal email signature and they still refused to hire anyone else.

What struck me as weird is that it's not a smooth curve like you would expect from lens distortion or whatever, it's straight for 6 windows, then angled from #7 on, which is what made me wonder if the building was subtly angled or something.
I had a similar realization about bison recently too, those things are goddamned huge, bigger even than that mid-sized SUV. Apparently they can get up to 3000lbs in weight.
The message about my perma-ban was actually 11 hours older than the message about my temp-ban being lifted, so they perma-banned me and then un-temp-banned me, which is.. kinda fucky.
I haven't used it in a couple years now, so maybe they've gotten better. shrug Also never tried it on my phone, I use duckduckgo's browser.
Two reasons.
- Because you don't get what you want out of life by running from pain, you just have to embrace the suck.
- Because I've had chronic back pain for the past ~20 years and there's nothing my doctors can do about it, my only alternative to pushing through the pain is to make myself unable to feel pain anymore, and despite the pain I still quite enjoy life.
Reddit decided to get a lil fashy and start banning people even for just upvoting shit.
As good as can be expected after getting perma-banned on reddit for violating rules with multiple accounts just hours before my 7-day temp ban for 'encouraging violence' was lifted on appeal, despite only ever having had 1 account in my entire 14 years of using reddit.
I'm new myself, thanks for the recommendations. While you're at it, do you happen to know of any good political/religion debate .. subs? what are they called here? I'm going to call them subs for now. Maybe some Anarchist and non-tankie Communist subs?
I just arrived today myself, after being temp-banned for 7 days for some bullshit reasons that the appeal team agreed were bullshit so they unbanned me, but not before someone else perma-banned me for violating the rules on 'my other accounts' -- I've had a single reddit account for the entire 14 years I've been there, I don't even make throwaways, so, even more bullshit. I appealed that one too, but even if it's overturned I'm not sure I'm going back. They've gotten real fucking fashy all of a sudden with the censorship, banning people for upvoting shit and calling it 'inciting violence.' Fuck 'em.
Thanks, that ought to get me started.
